C-qui-lui - I Just Like Rats And Sunflowers A Lot - Tumblr Blog

writer’s block isn’t real, it’s just your characters deciding to go on strike because they’re mad about how you’ve been treating them

the writer’s dilemma: - want to write a novel - want to read 10 novels for inspiration - end up doing neither and scrolling through memes about writing instead

i love writing! *vomiting blood

i was dictating the edits for book 2 into my phone and then my cat jumped up into my pile of loose pages...,

How your email finds me 🚬💀

malls are dying because they don't have blacksmith, apothecary, alehouse or peddler's

hm?

it’s funny how when people* find out I’m transmasc they start automatically assuming I’m straight like ??? Y’all…

The fact that absolutely no-one on tumblr is talking about the Emilia Perez movie is just.

It has everything this hellsite loves. The music. The queerness. The Selena Gomez. It has Goncharov vibes but make it Mexican. Wake up y'all.

i changed my mind i preferred it when we didn't have a prime minister

My first ever animatic - “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”

Made this as 1 of 3 projects for my portfolio to apply to Uni - and I got accepted, hurray!

Looking back ,now that I finished this months ago, I’d do a LOT of things differently if I had to give this another go. For one, I’d keep the shading way more minimalistic. I WAS aware that it’s not ideal to make it this detailed from the get go but honestly, I mostly did it for the fun of it.

Next up, I would have tweaked the design of the female character. Exaggerate the features more (especially body pasture) to highlight the fact that she is an old woman.

Lastly, I should have played WAY more around with the “camera” angles. Utilize more interesting perspectives (maybe add more backgrounds too) because as is, there is too much focus on shots of faces.

But on the other hand, it will probably be satisfying to look back on this flawed project in a couple of years and see the progress I’ve made since then! And I’m still proud that I DID manage to finish this. I actually got the initial motivation for this a couple years ago… I still have an old post talking about it up on this exact blog :P But back then it seemed too daunting so I put it off. Crazy how things work out.

Maybe I’ll return to this in the future if I ever feel like it. And if I do an animatic for the entire song, I’d give it a different story with other characters.

Fuck it I'm gonna give the lake creature a cloud gf

It's Time To Investigate SevenArt.ai

sevenart.ai is a website that uses ai to generate images.

Except, that's not all it can do.

It can also overlay ai filters onto images to create the illusion that the algorithm created these images.

And its primary image source is Tumblr.

It scrapes through the site for recent images that are at least 10 days old and has some notes attached to it, as well as copying the tags to make the unsuspecting user think that the post was from a genuine user.

No image is safe. Art, photography, screenshots, you name it.

Initially I thought that these are bots that just repost images from their site as well as bastardizations of pictures across tumblr, until a user by the name of @nataliedecorsair discovered that these "bots" can also block users and restrict replies.

Not only that, but these bots do not procreate and multiply like most bots do. Or at least, they have.

The following are the list of bots that have been found on this very site. Brace yourself. It's gonna be a long one:

The oldest ones have been created in March, started scraping in June/July, and later additions to the family have been created in July.

So, I have come to the conclusion that these accounts might be run by a combination of bot and human. Cyborg, if you will.

But it still doesn't answer my main question:

Who is running the whole operation?

The site itself gave us zero answers to work with.

No copyright, no link to the engine where the site is being used on, except for the sign in thingy (which I did.)

I gave the site a fake email and a shitty password.

Turns out it doesn't function like most sites that ask for an email and password.

Didn't check the burner email, the password isn't fully dotted and available for the whole world to see, and, and this is the important thing...

My browser didn't detect that this was an email and password thingy.

And there was no log off feature.

This could mean two things.

Either we have a site that doesn't have a functioning email and password database, or that we have a bunch of gullible people throwing their email and password in for people to potentially steal.

I can't confirm or deny these facts, because, again, the site has little to work with.

The code? Generic as all hell.

Tried searching for more information about this site, like the server it's on, or who owned the site, or something. ANYTHING.

Multiple sites pulled me in different directions. One site said it originates in Iceland. Others say its in California or Canada.

Luckily, the server it used was the same. Its powered by Cloudflare.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what to do with any of this information.

If you have any further information about this site, let me know.

Until there is a clear answer, we need to keep doing what we are doing.

Spread the word and report about these cretins.

If they want attention, then they are gonna get the worst attention.

my new zine about queer ecology! researching this taught me that nature is cool af.

available in my shop soon :)

I was doodling my next ideas for dolls to make, and I couldn’t get this image out of my head! I will probably make her a doll eventually Heheh

Liking and reposting so many billford fanart that now Tumblr’s ads think I’m a divorced middle aged man

Heh

thanks to @hannahdra-ws for quote, its very cursed indeed.
