Good news, fellow artists! Nightshade has finally been released by the UChicago team! If you aren't aware of what Nightshade is, it's a tool that helps poison AI datasets so that the model "sees" something different from what an image actually depicts. It's the same team that released Glaze, which helps protect art against style mimicry (aka those finetuned models that try to rip off a specific artist). As they show in their paper, even a hundred poisoned concepts make a huge difference.
(Reminder that glazing your art is more important than nighshading it, as they mention in their tweets above, so when you're uploading your art, try to glaze it at the very least.)
a friend requested a baby blupee, and i delivered.

yesterday me and a friend were discussing the logic of how death and time travel worked in KH vs. also yesterday when I tried to explain how nobodies worked to a friend who’s never played KH

everyone talking about brain being a horsegirl, but instead of a real horse he just has one of these and goes to these events
!???
no post, just me falling asleep to this song and this song alone
so i'm not entirely sure how to articulate this well but i was thinking about the ending of kingdom hearts 3 (as you do) and remembered something
okay so, this scene
chirithy is talking about losing powers, specifically the power of waking, which sora brushes off until he's told he'll disappear,
only to be himself and keep going to save kairi despite the (multiple) warnings
he's truly selfless to a fault for his friends
but he considers himself worthless without them, and is willing to sacrifice his very being for their sake, and even seems okay with it if it means they'll be okay
he so dependent on his friends and the people around him he can't see himself in a good light and seems to truly believe what he says in those screenshots
this mindset can even be seen beginning in kingdom hearts 1, when riku takes the keyblade and sora falls to his hands and knees, despondent. only to then be abandoned by donald and goofy, the two constants in his journey
and when sora does get the keyblade back, it's after his speech on all the people he's met and how his friends are his power
it's super cheesy and i love it and in the context of the first game it's perfectly fine, but taking in the context of the rest of the series, this seems to be the beginning of his unhealthy dependency on his friends
anyways i love sora so much but i also hope he has a segment in kingdom hearts 4 where he's completely alone, even away from strelitzia, so we can explore this part of his character more.
