i really really love vee's character development

when we see vee and camilla again in s3, we can see how much vee has adjusted to the human realm, and just like luz in the boiling isles, has found a place where she belongs in gravesfield. she's formed her own identity as a human member of the noceda family instead of being a doppelganger of luz, but is still comfortable in her basilisk form at home. she helps hunter, gus, willow, and amity adjust to the human realm. we can see that she's put the stuff back in luz's room that she had been planning to throw out while under luz's identity, and she's left a loving note to luz welcoming her back and saying she missed her. we can see framed photos of her and camilla, showing that camilla lovingly views vee as her adoptive daughter. she's made her own friends in gravesfield and developed a crush on her friend masha. and she was prepared to confront jacob hopkins, who kidnapped her and attempted to murder and dissect her, and even takes on belos, the man who ordered the revival of her species for experimentation, who essentially ordered a genocide of basilisks, while belos is possessing her friend and future adoptive brother hunter, while yelling to hunter to hang in there.

all this parallels luz's development, and shows that like luz found a place where she belongs in the boiling isles, vee found a place where she belongs in gravesfield. she's become less pessimistic and shy, and more optimistic, brave, and comfortable both as a basilisk and as a human without impersonating luz.

even though i wish we could have seen more of vee in s3 (curse disney for cutting toh short), she's still by far one of my favorite characters in toh and it's really wonderful how she developed as a character in the show. hoping we see more of her soon :)

anyway, i'm probably going to do some fanart of vee. loved her and her design since she was introduced, but especially once i first watched thanks to them :)

AI Scraping Isn't Just Art And Fanfic

Something I haven't really seen mentioned and I think people may want to bear in mind is that while artists are the most heavily impacted by AI visual medium scraping, it's not like the machine knows or cares to differentiate between original art and a photograph of your child.

AI visual media scrapers take everything, and that includes screengrabs, photographs, and memes. Selfies, pictures of your pets and children, pictures of your home, screengrabs of images posted to other sites -- all of the comic book imagery I've posted that I screengrabbed from digital comics, images of tweets (including the icons of peoples' faces in those tweets) and instas and screengrabs from tiktoks. I've posted x-ray images of my teeth. All of that will go into the machine.

That's why, at least I think, Midjourney wants Tumblr -- after Instagram we are potentially the most image-heavy social media site, and like Instagram we tag our content, which is metadata that the scraper can use.

So even if you aren't an artist, unless you want to Glaze every image of any kind that you post, you probably want to opt out of being scraped. I'm gonna go ahead and say we've probably already been scraped anyway, so I don't think there's a ton of point in taking down your tumblr or locking down specific images, but I mean...especially if it's stuff like pictures of children or say, a fundraising photo that involves your medical data, it maybe can't hurt.

If you do want to officially opt out, which may help if there's a class-action lawsuit later, you're going to want to go to the gear in the upper-right corner on the Tumblr desktop site, select each of your blogs from the list on the right-hand side, and scroll down to "Visibility". Select "Prevent third party sharing for [username]" to flip that bad boy on.

(If someone wants to post a link in notes to instructions for doing it on the app, I haven't updated mine so the option doesn't appear and I don't know where to find it.)
