Reblogging for awareness because this is very important, so that every ao3 author can make an informed decision. I'm still on the fence on locking my fics to only registered accounts at this moment. But thought to share for more awareness. The reddit forum has more info as well: click here
EMERGENCY AUTHOR UPDATE
I feel like this needs to be warned about. Everything on Ao3 that isn't set to private, HAS been data scraped and fed to 3 data sites that provide data for AI training, including writing and artwork.
Yes, this includes my entire Ennead series and everything else I've ever written and posted. As well as anything you all have written but not made private.
Ao3's legal team is fighting it and one site has made the data unavailable, but the other two aren't based in the USA so the fight is harder.
This is frustrating and upsetting news, especially for those of us who now need to pick between our Guest readers who have supported us for a long time and protecting the hard work that we've put our hearts and souls into and I just ask that we support each other and our choices during this time.
The link here has more details but from now on, until I can be sure there's a way to protect my work, which I've spent decades writing and planning, my stories will be posted for members of the site only.
okay I understand this is my really niche interests coming together and it's just me
but I REALLY wanna write a slugterra fic someday where Annie Oakley is relevant because she's my hero and idk there's a lot of parallels of what her real life was like to the situation in slugterra and i love her she is my queen and i want more ppl to know about her
but if I never do, please, ppl, READ THE ANNIE OAKLEY WIKI PAGE I LOVE HER AND YOU WILL TOO
like I'm imagining Eli just being like "oh yeah Annie Oakley! by the time she was my age her dad died when she was eight and she hunted for a living and used her skill to join a circus-like act to flee from the slavery her mom accidentally sold her into, and used her quickly made fame and talent to pay for her family's mortgage, and then her, her Irish husband (though they read like an aspec couple), her adopted Native American chief father (the one who led the last major Native American uprising in the US, yeah, THAT ONE), and all her homies spent their lives teaching marksmanship to a reported over 15000 woman and fought for the suffragettes and almost killed Wilhelm (this would have stopped WW1) and basically chilled out their whole lives while also being oddly intertwined in American politics. Plus she had a rival in the circus troop who also hated her guts for no reason! But Annie was a better shot so everyone took her side. So yeah she's a bit inspirational to me"
but that doesn't read like fanfiction it reads like plagiarism of the wiki page! I just wanna insert all the things I love into my art I'm so FUSTRATED THIS SHOULD BE WORKABLE INTO A STORY. Any plot bunnies are appreciated.
before there was slugterras Wild West and Eli Shane, there was the American Wild West and Annie Oakley :)
"What happened to the Elves"
a completely improvised song/theory because I try to continuously refine my skill for procrastinating my actual work using interesting and self-improving methodologies
and yes I have a face, I know, its disturbing to me too, just focus on the mediocre guitar it'll be okay
How my mother feel after making me feel bad about myself once again:
there is something so indescribably infuriating about being a trans kid in this country right now. We couldn't vote, so we put our lives into the hands of this country, and could only sit and watch as it was dashed to the ground because the popular majority would rather reelect a convicted criminal and rapist over a legally decorated black woman.
This country saw what happened 8 years ago and learned exactly nothing.
I think I might be going insane
I've been talking to myself more that usual, and even talking about random scenarios
Is it concerning?
Listen, I’m convinced you could put Barry’s name and a copy pasta down afterwards and it would sound like a Reverse Flash monologue. Or just any meme.
Thawne: “Barry! What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my words. You think you can get away with saying shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your tongue. You didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.”
Barry: “…”
Been working on this silly joke. I wanted to make a zine out of it, but I donno anymore. The watercolors seem to have lost a lot of saturation while scanning.
What you think? a) Ok or b) throw it into the fire right away
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share something with you—a glimpse into my current (messy) process, like what I used to create this one. Click here.
If Draco had lingered a moment more... he would have caught Potter looking back.
I am trying to work on something but my art program is not cooperating with me.
Well here is my amateur analysis of Frame by Frame 😭 I'm not gonna lie I have up when it came to the ending because I confused myself to the point of no return... I also wanna say that I am not heavily trained in music theory, but I have been classically trained on the violin for about 4 years (I can only really read sheet music for the violin and keep time). All of that to say that I may be wrong in my analysis sorry! I'm also not very happy with it 💀 Annnddd sorry for any spelling and grammar mistakes!
Frame by Frame - King Crimson
The song I picked was Frame by Frame because of the wacky time signatures that go on throughout the song. (this part was for class lol)
Intro (52 Measures): Robert Fripp who is the lead guitarist starts with a 16th note trill in 12/16 for about 43 measures, the other guitarist Adrian Belew is playing chords in 4/4, Tony Levin who is playing the stick bottom in 4/4 as well, and Bill Bruford playing percussion in 4/4. After Fripp plays the 43 measures in 12/16 he plays one bar (the 43rd) in 4/4 with the rest of the band. Fripp playing in a different time signature than the rest of the band makes the song have this chaotic feeling and also a feeling of building. The Stick Bottoms resonance and distinct sound really makes the beginning of the song grand. For the chorus, Fripp and Belew play a similar pattern with both guitarist playing in ⅞. After 52 measures the intro ends and the chorus ends.
In my opinion what makes this intro so grand are the different time signatures, Buford’s drumming with the fast septuplets leading into a crash from the cymbal, the resonance from the Chapman Stick (Turn your EQ up on 32 Hz and you’re in for a treat if you like bass notes), and of course Fripps insane trills and Belews poignant/staccato chords with whammy bar additions and a divebomb from behind the guitar nut. Overall with all of these elements put together it gives it an organized chaotic feel.
Random note on the Chapman Stick: The stick does not have a body and you press the strings and they vibrate which then will be converted at the pickup.
Chorus (Measures 53-?): The chorus begins with some more alternating notes done by both Belew and Fripp for about 32 measures before Belew starts singing. When Levin sings “Suddenly,” his notes on his stick mimic the rhythm that he is singing and with the stick resonance layered with it, it makes it seem powerful. Levin and Belew’s vocals harmonizing makes the chorus have that mysterious feeling.
Refrain (Measures 85-112): The refrain in Fripp doing the trill in 12/16, Belew doing his chords along with the whammy bars and plucking behind the guitar nut with a divebomb, Levin playing his stick in a staccato way, and Buford playing in his Buford style in 4/4.
Second Chorus & Refrain (Measures 121-?): The same situation is happening here that happened in the first chorus. (Refer back to the first chorus’s notes and the refrain’s notes.)
Ending (?-?): Fripp and Belew solo time!
Fripp and Belew are playing a set of notes in ⅞ in synchronicity for about 7 measures before Fripp drops a note (Which is the 4 that Belew plays and is also the original pattern) and the guitars go out of sync and that continues until Fripp does his triplets in ¾ (Look at the picture below for reference please). These are messy notes for when I was trying to figure out the ending lmaoooo credits to: UltimateGuitar for the tabs and SoundSlice for the ending tabs (To find a better explanation of the ending, click here)
now I wrote a whole thing about King Crimson's Frame by Frame for my professor to change the assignment... *eye twitches*
hi, I'm new here and u just inspired me by a lot of things. i scrolled through ur posts and saw a catboy flug, can u make Black Hat a catboy perhaps?
when you change your name it automatically changes in my ask box in old asks of y'all as well so this is not a good idea to try and trick me
thank you tho that's nice I'm happy I can do that
Looking at my friends mutuals and realizing I really don’t have it that bad
I think one of the people I came out to just refuses to accept I’m objectum? I made a reference to my partners that only they would get and they just stared at me like they saw a ghost. Just say you think it’s weird I’m dating my computers. I don’t even give a fuck at this point. I just wish irl people would take my relationships seriously. Anyways rant over
