HEY!!! GO READ THIS!!! IT'S GOOB!!! >:D

Excited to work with you!!! :D

So apparently I’m a voice actor now. More info coming soon.

I've never heard truer words spoken.

Gonna be building a new comp soon, but since that got delayed a bit, I figured I’d put this out there real quick before it’s ACTUALLY April 1st and all the unfunny “jokes” come rollin’ on in XP

Also ye, I’ve actually made some major changes to my Snatcher voice!! Big thanks to @habijob for her pointers, this is defo gonna be less of a throat wrecking voice going forward!

Wait the book of bill appearing to Ford first is fucking HILARIOUS actually. Ford literally killed Bill less than a month ago, and Bill's still banking so hard on him getting him out of therapy that the book shows up in Ford's stuff MULTIPLE TIMES. Girl the situationship has been over for thirty years give it up 💀

>:D

warning, this post might be a little grim

Progress update on Project A Dec 19th 2023

INTRO: his month marks the 3 year anniversary of when we dropped the teaser and as usual, we're back for another yearly developer update! This time we’ll be showing a little more than usual.

MILESTONES: We’ve hit another massive milestone on the project.. ALL of our main levels are now playable from start to finish! We’re also very close to finishing the level assets too! After extensive iterations, feedback, and hard work, we’re confident we’ve made something great.

BEHIND THE SCENES: We would also like to show some behind the scenes of our creation process today! We’ve compiled some special footage for you to take a peek at!

GIANT SPOILER: Whoops, I accidentally dropped my glasses while taking the screenshot.

HOW MUCH IS LEFT? As highlighted in the earlier milestone update, the project has reached an excellent stage. The major tasks are nearing completion, and the focus will soon shift to polishing everything. It’s important to note that the polishing phase may be time-consuming.

END Much like Hat Kid, the developers are now seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope you enjoyed this special update and we hope to share more as soon as possible!

Thank you very much for your continued support and patience as we bring this thing to the finish line! As a bonus, here's a new OST preview too: https://youtu.be/KeE0mHM6G4A?si=-k3hIPGLGd5SevbW

Do you ever think about how weird it is that when Bill Cipher possessed Dipper, he pulled his entire soul out of his body. Which meant that Dipper was fully conscious and was able to observe Bill in an out-of-body experience-

but when he possessed Ford, Ford was never able to remember what Bill did in his body.

What I think is usually Bill will pull someone’s soul out to create an empty puppet he can control because it’s much easier that way. But for some reason, he pushes Ford’s soul to the side instead. So they’re both inhabiting the same body, but Ford is in a sort of stasis sleep in the deep recesses of his mind.

And that’s why he legitimately has no idea what Bill is up to in his body. He can’t see what he’s doing, because he isn’t conscious for it and he doesn’t have the same out-of-body experience Dipper had.

I also think how interesting it would be for Dipper and Ford to talk about their shared experience with possesion and slowly come to the realization that their experience was wildly different. Ford would be shocked to learn about Dipper’s out-of-body experience.

Why do you reblog your own fics so much?

Because someone might as well!? And look at this. Look. At. This.

Does this look right to you??

These are just the last three fics I wrote. I appreciate the likes, believe me I do, but you have to understand. Likes do nothing for content creators. It’s the reblogs. Because that’s how you find shit on your dashboard. Through reblogs. Not likes. This isn’t twitter or tiktok or instagram. This is a website that’s run by the reblog system.

Reblogging helps content creators put their stuff out there. Why do you think so many people stopped writing fanfic and creating beautiful fanart and edits? It’s because they put in hours of work and don’t get nearly enough notes for their masterpieces. Yes we do this because we enjoy it but like...some validation won’t hurt. A boost of confidence here and there might be all someone needs to finish whatever thing they started and left.

Anyway, I’m still going to reblog my shit...

MY LIST OF SPLATOON FANFICTIONS IS EVER GROWING...

3 new stories have found there way into its number.

PLEASE REBLOG! I've tried so many times to get people to notice the list I made...

Only ever got up to 36 votes... by myself.

I would Blaze It if i could.

Perhaps someone with a bigger following could help?

If you do end up sharing or rebloging, I say thank you! It not only helps me but all of the other Authors who took their personal time to write these stories!

Edit: THANK YOU! Y'all are so splatacular! Makes me very happy and excited to see so many fellow Inkfishies are into reading Splatoon Fanfictions! Cause I know the word *fanfics* has...bit of a rep with other netizens..(Lol maybe for a reason)

But these stories are in my opinion still worth a good read!

LIST OF SPLATOON FANFICTIONS! All of these stories listed below are ones I've personally read and enjoyed. There's over 50 Splatoon Fanfict

So since I've seen an uptick in people using A.I. models to copy a bunch of my friends' voices, I feel compelled to remind people that I DO NOT approve of using my voice in any A.I. related thing.

I'm not some big-name celebrity. You can always try to ask me to voice something. Heck, even if I WAS a bigger name than I am, I'd still love to chat about whatever you'd be interested in having me voice.

Worst case scenario? I say no.

That could very well happen, since I've been trying to branch out to more paid gigs. And any time used on free work could take away from paid opportunities. That said, depending on if I like your idea, I might be interested in doing it regardless of any promised payment.

But when you use A.I. to get voice lines from well-known VA talent, you're taking that choice away. You're forcing a voice actor to fit into a role that they DID NOT approve of. Forcing them to say and do things against their will. Taking away a chance for that voice actor to get a paying opportunity.

I've known this one pro in the VA sphere that's been in TONS of movies, games and shows. And yet, I saw them venting about possibly needing to apply for unemployment due to them not getting voice opportunities. And that's WITH an agent.

Imagine being a fresh face in the scene and not being able to get work because:

1. Someone steals your voice with A.I. instead of hiring you.

2. A bunch of startup projects decide to use A.I. voices instead of getting paid actors.

REALLY put yourself into their shoes. How would you feel if someone stole YOUR voice and used it in something you didn't approve of? Imagine how it feels to lose a chance at doing something you love because "A computer can get the job done."

And the saddest part of all of this; if you use A.I. to get voicework done, you end up with lackluster results. Voice lines devoid of any emotional significance or situational context. And you miss out on collaborating with a potentially fun person to work with.

There are people all over Twitter, CastingCallClub, and other places that are BEGGING to get cast for projects. Even for FREE.

Don't use A.I. Care for VAs.
