So There Is This Inquest Assistant On Sandswept Isles That Doesn’t Attack You, Just Follows You Around.

even more questionable rats

mini timeline for the inquest detritus. settled on a chestpiece i prefer over the aetherblade coat... my sibling described this look as "evil monk"

“What if asuras with longer hair”, next chapter. This time I imagined my own chars having it. Two fabulous and one not-so-fabulous, but still precious baby.

GW2CC Revenge for @rosewoodroad! Finally an excuse to draw these badass Asuras LMAO

So, Discord has added a feature that lets other people "enhance" or "edit" your images with different AI apps. It looks like this:

Currently, you can't opt out from this at all. But here's few things you can do as a protest.

FOR SERVERS YOU ARE AN ADMIN IN

Go to Roles -> @/everyone roles -> Scroll all the way down to External Apps, and disable it. This won't delete the option, but it will make people receive a private message instead when they use it, protecting your users:

You should also make it a bannable offense to edit other user's images with AI. Here's how I worded it in my server, feel free to copypaste:

Do not modify other people's images with AI under ANY circumstances, such as with the Discord "enhancement" features, amidst others. This is a bannable offense.

COMPLAIN TO DISCORD

There's few ways to go around this. First, you can go to https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/requests/new , select Help and Support -> Feedback/New Feature Request, and write your message, as seen in the screenshot below.

For the message, here's some points you can bring up:

Concerns about harassment (such as people using this feature to bully others)

Concerns about privacy (concerns on how External Apps may break privacy or handle the data in the images, and how it may break some legislations, such as GDPR)

Concerns about how this may impact minors (these features could be used with pictures of irl minors shared in servers, for deeply nefarious purposes)

BE VERY CLEAR about "I will refuse to buy Nitro and will cancel my subscription if this feature remains as it is", since they only care about fucking money

Word them as you'd like, add onto them as you need. They sometimes filter messages that are copypasted templates, so finding ways to word them on your own is helpful.

ADDING: You WILL NEED to reply to the mail you receive afterwards for the message to get sent to an actual human! Otherwise it won't reach anyone

UNSUSCRIBE FROM NITRO

This is what they care about the most. Unsuscribe from Nitro. Tell them why you unsuscribed on the way out. DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY. They're a company. They take actions for profit. If these actions do not get them profit, they will need to backtrack. Mass-unsuscribing from WOTC's DnD beyond forced them to back down with the OGL, this works.

LEAVE A ONE-STAR REVIEW ON THE APP

This impacts their visibility on the App store. Write why are you leaving the one-star review too.

Regardless of your stance on AI, I think we can agree that having no way for users to opt out of these pictures is deeply concerning, specially when Discord is often used to share selfies. It's also a good time to remember internet privacy and safety- Maybe don't post your photos in big open public servers, if you don't want to risk people doing edits or modifications of them with AI (or any other way). Once it's posted, it's out of your control.

Anyways, please reblog for visibility- This is a deeply concerning topic!

I remade an alt into another alt, this one an elementalist named vito! hes a farmboy and for now just bag opener until i cave and boost him to 80 :V

Gorrik is big little brother material and I feel like it's our duty to bully him (gently).

It’s always fun when Seti and Giff have to work together… since these two actually can’t work together at all.

Giff would rather kick Seti out of his Krewe within an instant if he wasn’t his best friends/crush/girlfriend little brother. Giff sees Seti as the opposite of himself: One of the most intelligent beings on earth, refering to the Asura as a whole. (though he can be really full of himself sometimes but this is just to hide his insecurities. Also, Enya makes sure he doesn’t go overboard, (he’s actually quite shy around her.)

Seti might not be as smart as Giff, Enya or Ixxi but he’s still the smartest compared to the other races. The krewe actually needs him when it comes to force, often helping construct heavy machinery or battling enemies. Seti himself has actually saved Giff plenty of times.

Deep down behind all the roasting and arguments they actually know they need eachother to succeed and sometimes set their differences aside to work together. Although this happends rarely…

Just wanted to draw both of my boy Asura’s. x3

the first rule of drawing charr is: have fun and be yourself. uwu

howl got neglected by my last pact gang doodles so i'm making up for it. she goes from mainly-deadeye to mainly-daredevil after the charr civil war and quits filing her horns down.
