Ghibli x my own hands

(or: fuck AI ๐Ÿ–•)

Soโ€ฆ I took part in the โ€œGhibli AI trendโ€ - but not to join in. I did it to push back! And ofc I made the art myself!

โ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ AI-generated art isnโ€™t harmless fun, itโ€™s exploitation, itโ€™s disrespectful, and itโ€™s unethical in so many ways.

Watching AI try to mimic Studio Ghibli - to flatten it into an algorithm - hurts me on a personal level. These films shaped my childhood. I had Totoro mugs, drew anime-style art for years, even gave a school presentation on Hayao Miyazakiโ€˜s art when I was 12.

My fishwives here arenโ€™t AI, but they arenโ€™t a perfect Ghibli match either. No one - not me, not you, and definitely not an AI model - can replicate the lived experience, love, and hand-drawn dedication that built the world of Studio Ghibli. And I didnโ€™t make these drawings to chase clicks or copy an aesthetic. I made it as a real tribute for an artist I respect!

Please sheeple, stop using generative AI for creative endeavors! ๐Ÿ™

Opposite of renewal doomerism time. Assume rn with me that the show will get renewed. Tell me what youโ€™re most excited about for season 4 and future seasons. Put book spoilers under a read more so people who havenโ€™t read the books can play too.

Non-spoilery: Deeper, more competent Forsaken. More beautiful costumes from Sharon Gilham and her team. More Mat in slutty shirts.

Book spoilers through the very end:

Tumblr Tuesday: The Wheel Weaves as The Wheel Wills

The Wheel of Time has two episodes left, and emotions are running as high as the White Tower of Tar Valon. This one is all about the gals, their pals, and their loversโ€”if the fanart you're churning out at frankly alarming rates is anything to go by. Jk, we love it, please never stop. Here's a small collection of beautiful fanart for you while you bit-chompingly await the next episode.

Please be mindful of some mild spoilers (if you squint) ahead!
