Tumblr's AI usage is plain silly. Literally all the posts I've seen are wrongfully flagged as mature and censored. Even from the squeakiest squeaky clean blogs I follow! A photo of a beetle backpack was labeled mature ffs. I've found out on my own blog that curse words get your posts automatically censored. Neat-o. I can't wrap my head around why the things I'm seeing posted are labeled this way though.
I hope Tumblr stops this foolishness and just hires real people to do this work instead of cleaning up after useless AI on top of that. It's terrible. It's got some of my favorite blogs completely blurred out like they're posting pornography when they're not. They're just sharing their art. Speaking of pornography, a good use of their time would be cracking down on bots tainting communities and ask boxes.
I love Tumblr more than any other social media site I've used so far. I haven't used it long but jeez it's getting so much worse in such a short time. I don't want it to become another Instagram.
Happy, belated, Valentine's Day π
I headcanon that Penelope gets lots of presents from the boys in class since she's the only girl in their school with a personality lol.
I didn't wanna post more single clips but I need this one on my blog forever!
Jacques' Little Painters Chapter 2 is up on AO3 π
βGet down from there! You're gonna hurt yourself!β
As of the 21st of February I started working on a Stardew Valley fan novel and I've sorta dropped Jacques' Little Painters. I've got big ideas for it but I haven't had much to go off aside from my own imagination (which is massively hit or miss) since unlike the Stardew Valley, there aren't many drama-filled SML stories to draw inspiration from. I'm also just not feeling super motivated π
Aside from that, I'm working on a compilation of my favorite SML scenes. This is the first, and I'm reposting it here because it's great! I love moments where Chef Pee Pee shows he cares for Junior and I love Junior being a dumb bratty kid.
Junior's panicking because he genuinely thinks Cody is pretty when he crossdresses. Cody is too grumpy because Chef Pee Pee won't bang him to notice.
I didn't color pick from the original fit so Cody's very pastel but eh, it's still cute! I'm probably gonna draw him all dolled up again another time. He's really fun to draw, at least with the new design I gave him.
AU where Jacques took the kids despite the circumstances of how they were conceived and surprisingly ends up adoring them. With his wealth and pristine, he's able to take care of all their needs with ease. However, he can't simply pay for them to not remind them of his rapist so he's constantly dealing with that hurdle whilst caring for his babies. No matter what, he doesn't want them in Nancy's care or for the chance of them ending up with anyone similar to her.
I'm going to start working on a fic about this whilst working on Good Luck since Good Luck is more of a self fulfilling fantasy fanfic and I can balance them easier.
Something to pass the time
Headcanon time! I rewatched the video where Penelope was first introduced, Hunky Cody, and I realized that Joseph was initially into her too. SML isn't good at continuity, especially with the characters themselves so this was most likely not intentional. Thus, I'm claiming it as my headcanon :)
The only reason why Joseph insults Penelope so aggressively nowadays is because he's jealous that Junior is dating her. He had a crush on Penelope from day one and she showed zero interest in him. Heck, she was more interested in arguing with Junior than looking his way.
Even though his behavior is very wrong it's still interesting to think about reasons for it. I hope we get a more in depth episode about why Joseph is so mean to Penelope and/or how Penelope feels about being the only girl in their friend group.
