Happy 38th Anniversary to Mega Man! To celebrate, I made a drawing with some of the Mega Man girls.

YOU CAN'T JUST PUT "DEAD DOVE" OR "DEAD DOVE DO NOT EAT" OR "DEAD DOVE CONTENT" WITHOUT ANY FURTHER TAGS OR WARNINGS

IT LITERALLY MEANS "HEED THE TAGS" "YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED" IT'S LITERALLY MEANINGLESS WITHOUT ANY FURTHER TAGS OR WARNINGS

YOU'VE JUST SAID "BE WARNED" TO ME AND THEN LEFT WITHOUT ELABORATING

BE WARNED OF WHAT? BE WARNED OF WHAT???

YOU’VE JUST SAID “BE WARNED”

TO ME AND THEN LEFT WITHOUT

ELABORATING

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Duel Links: Mizael Full Victory Sprite

It's time for ANOTHER POLL! I currently have a poll on 5D's (a little over a day before it closes at the time of posting) and a finished one for GX, and I figured I should do polls for all the series that I can, so here we are.

Disclaimer: I do not recall Zexal as well as the other series, so while I'm fairly confident in the options I put here it's probaby not as good as the previous ones. But without further ado...

Additional comments:

• I watched only the Japanese version (yes, I know the dub covered all the episodes, but putting this here anyway).
• Be careful when casting your vote! Lots of accidents in my first poll.
• You CAN vote on this fandom-blind, in fact I welcome you to. I want to know how this looks to an outsider.
• No full analysis of the results and/or massive spoilers BEFORE the poll concludes.
• Once the poll is closed I will reblog this post with the full answers.
• Don't forget to reblog to spread this to as many people as possible!

Official Government site to support Jamaica and Jamaicans in the wake of Hurricane Melissa

We are facing a catastrophic disaster. I know I know a lot is going on, my heart is so heavy for Sudan and El Fashir, also for Palestine (Gaza and the West Bank), Congo and too many other places. The islands in the tropics are largely ignored during hurricane season though and we are on the brutal receiving end of climate change when we barely contribute to it.

Communication is likely to go down soon so please BOOST this for us.

I hate this

This is terrifying to look at

Thought I should make a separate post regarding this debate too.

"Do you think AO3 should ban AI generated works?"

Well, in theory, it may sound ideal. But in reality? No.

I am not a fan of AI, but "do you think AO3 should ban" never actually solves a problem. Because how can you tell what's AI and what's human made? It is extremely hard to tell, and going around accusing authors of using AI — just because you suspect they do — does more harm than good. Chances are that you're accusing real writer of being AI and ruining their day at best, making them quit writing at worst.

And the act of banning never stops something from existing. It only makes it more difficult to find or avoid. Tumblr bans porn, but you can still find porn on Tumblr. The only difference is that they're no longer tagged as porn, which means you're more likely to stumble upon them because blocking the tags no longer works when they are not tagged as porn.

The same applies to AI generated works on AO3. For now they are tagged as "AI generated". You can avoid them if you don't want them.

Once they're banned, people will no longer tag them as AI, which means you have more chance of unknowingly reading and leaving kudos on AI.

Also, no, unless an author says "this was written by AI" you cannot tell for sure if something was written by AI. Em dashes aren't evidence of AI. Long and overly described paragraphs aren't evidence of AI. Real human writers do write like this and AI was trained to mimic real humans' works.

If AO3 bans AI, you will be dealing with witch-hunting, genuine writers getting wrongly accused of using AI left and right, and AI works no longer being tagged as AI (meaning they are almost impossible to spot and avoid)
