Before following me you should probably be aware of a few important things-
I am pro ai and use ai art. I am not ignorant to its harms but I refuse to burden myself with the decisions of large corporations I have no control over
I am opinionated and I can get quite heated in online debate spaces, but I am not without a moral compass or spine. There are some in these spaces who believe a criticism of one is an endorsement of the other, this is not me— I am naturally iconoclastic and will call out any side if a debate that passes my ethical boundaries.
I am a shadow integrationist and I take this extremely seriously, as if it were a personal creed, so do not expect me to jump onto hate trains or bandwagons. And do not think I will withhold my inquiries about you if you say something suspicious or pathological.
I adore nature, and my hobby Is horticulture. Breeding flowers and plants and crossing the seeds. So you can expect some random animal/plant related posts from me time to time. I am an environmentalist and my votes reflect that. I do not support anti immigration movements or ICE and I do not support left wing radicalisation either. I care about trees, not immigration.
I am a Cosmo-theist. So please do not waste my time with Christian drivel or religious standards, I will not be kind to you.
I am a witch. Not the ones you see at Stonehenge or the ones who perform weird spells, I am a sol et Luna witch, a witch who works with the conscious and unconscious parts of a self, this is a part of my identity I cannot amputate and will not amputate, so I will post in dramatic philosophical words or use archetypes or zodiacs or tarots to explain things in a way that makes sense to me.
My Saturn Lilith and Pars Fortunae are all in Aquarius, so you will frequently see me take up my fire for those who have rejected by society or outcasted, do not mistake that for condoning their mistakes.
I am not trans, but I support trans identity. There are some idiots here who will claim this is incorrect, but they do not speak for me, I do. They believe because my support for trans people ends at the individual experience and that I do not support or endorse gender ideology or coercive transition that I am transphobic. I decide what I am, not them.
I am not a perfect person. I get red hot furious, I get passionate, I speak without fear, I call out the hidden things and I refuse to encircle myself in the societal foundations of others. I am not unaware of my flaws. But I refuse to be made ashamed of them. I am not a right or left wing voter.
And lastly I'm intense. And if you survived this far, then you probably know that now too. I don't hate or resent anybody who might look at this and say "nah" I don't want to deal with that hot mess. Frankly it's better if you decide the authentic me wasn't your thing before things became ugly.
If you still wish to stay, welcome. I'm here to share my voice, my light my shadow and my furious burning heart ♥ I hope you find something of value in that.

Art isn't yours to gatekeep.
Dislike ai if you want
But comming after ai assisted artists, shaming them, and demanding they play your games is equal parts stupid-> toxic.
You aren't entitled to my cash
You aren't owed my time investment
And you aren't entitled to dictate what makes me an artist.
Get a life, go do some environmental shit because I know you sure asf don't
I mean, I understand why they're upset, and I always say like if artists don't want to use AI, that's cool. But trying to say that you're not an artist, or you're less of a person, or you're a bad person is where I draw the line, honestly. It's where you start dehumanizing, devaluing, and frankly just gatekeeping people out of the of the hobby.
@R3DIn2K@Calamitys_Edge i mean yes some of us aren't willing to pick up a pencil for one reason or another, that's our decision, if we still want to call ourselves artist's you don't really have a place to dictate from the decide that
"You cant even pick up a pencil and be bothered to learn how to draw the very same image. You threw a couple TV dinners in a microwave and added nothing special to any."
There are so many flaws with this argument.
Firstly, I reposted a post on my own Twitter where I physically touched up and completely changed some of the art in the drawing that I was working on. brother you just didnt read it.
Secondly, I have been an artist for 20 years.
@R3DIn2K@Calamitys_Edge i mean if you remove the term herculean, isnt that exactly what youre doing?
"demanding from people who want to call themselves artists - to put pen to paper"
or else theyre not artists
this was a bad argument homeie
"MasterChef has featured invention tests where contestants are challenged to take standard, low brow frozen dinners or microwave meals and elevate them. Chefs in these episodes take components like a rubbery frozen Salisbury steak or a basic TV dinner mac and cheese, deconstruct them, sear fresh proteins, add compound butters, and use fine dining plating techniques to make them unrecognizable."

@Fire_and_Abyss Youre an Ideas Guy, with a fancy "make art" button.
Youre no better than someone who calls himself a chef, when he really just threw a TV dinner in a microwave.

@ShitpostingCen1 i have seen a lot of "microwave" chefs who actually do add a lot of extras on top of the micro meal, this wasn't a good comparison lol https://t.co/dDW4nIP6xD
a genuine passion of mine is taking ai art and making it look tidy and clean so it represents my actual vision, its a lot of work when some pieces are a complete mess #AIart️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️ #aihybridart #originalcharacter #vtubermodel
See, the moment you describe it as willing to clear it, you've already defeated your entire argument because my entire argument was that "being disabled shouldn't mean living up to the highest expectations." But describing it as clearing something makes it sound like some kind of level or some kind of achievement or some kind of grade. It makes it sound like some kind of grade or piece of paper that you need, and that's the point. People shouldn't be expected to do this.
the universe didn't make the human race with the idea in mind that people can come in and dictate what other people should be doing with their lives. I think people need to open their eyes and realize that 100 years ago, people were dictating what women could wear, people were dictating who women could sleep with, people were dictating what peasants could eat, people were dictating what parts of the world you were allowed to see, they were dictating what you did with your money.
this right here is why artists hate AI, because they think they're entitled to gatekeep art behind a paywall. all this shit about the environment or the "theft" is just completely straw-manned. these people claim to love their earth, what do they even do for it..
This right here is WHY I hate AI so much. There are artists out there like ME who literally charge $20 for a 5-emote bundle. This is legit trash, and it's ugly as hell. Do better and get this damn AI slop off my TL!!
listen to me, dude. you are overreaching now, understood?
you dont get to sit and on a moral throne and tell me what i value and dont, and act like you know me personally. i am a traditional digital and ai assisted artist ever since i was 10. and i attended 5 years in art school in Glasgow, so stop making sweeping assumptions
i shouldnt have to get a passport check about my art credentials for you not to overstep like this.
I appreciate that you have a disability. I appreciate that it's hard. But honestly, you lose a lot of credit with me when you come onto social media and you say, Look at me, guys. I don't have any hands or feet because I lost them, and now I'm drawing amazing art. I'm so much better than these AI artists.
And you're using your disability to get attention. I'm so glad that you survived against all odds. Frankly, you didn't need to prove anything beyond that. But the fact that you've decided to come to social media and weaponize your disability and your survival is kind of deplorable, honestly.
And I feel like some points should be taken away from you. This is an ableist argument. There are so many disabled people out there that can achieve absolutely amazing things, and there are so many of them that cant, and there are so many able-bodied people who also don't achieve amazing things.
And there are so many people in Asia that jump out of buildings every single day because society tells them that if they don't meet these standards, then they don't deserve to exist as people. This anti-AI shit is the exact same shit.
I really cannot stand this disability argument because it works on a fundamental flaw.
It works on the exception of society or the standard that everyone must live to. It's like telling a disabled person, Hey you sitting in a wheelchair, how dare you need help from your government when this super-driven, hardcore person scaled Mount Everest on a wheelchair?
Why don't you do that? Look at that guy. He has spinal muscular atrophy and he is like a pro league footballer. Why can't you do that?
Now you're telling me, look at these incredible people who don't have hands and feet and they've learned to draw without them. Why can't you do that? Well, for one, if everyone could live up to that standard, then there would be absolutely nothing that would make these people exceptional.
And as well, if we are expected to live up to such a high expectation, then honestly, so are you. Because it's not fair to put this kind of pressure on disabled people and then you not on yourself. Where are you out there painting the Sistine Chapel? Are you out there painting the Mona Lisa?
Yeah, that was exactly my point. What the fuck is stopping you? Where are you out here achieving this absolutely insane world-changing thing? I'm meant to do this, and I am disabled with a spinal condition.
I mean, my God, man, stop for a second and realize that you are holding disabled people, some of the most poor, impoverished, and worse-off people in history, to this standard. What are you smoking, man?
So that is the full fucking flaw of this argument. This is called ableism. Look it fucking up.
