Spreading Awareness about Buzzfeed

Before I begin, please know that I am not a journalist, I am only covering this because as an artist and the creator of a beloved guitar bun, this hits too close to home and I want to spread awareness

So after Buzzfeed tried to enforce AI on Chikn Nuggit, Kyra Kupetsky, decided that they wanted nothing to do with Buzzfeed and boycotted.

Everyone who is a fan of Chikn Nuggit, was obviously outraged, and eventually Buzzfeed vowed not to use AI on any of Chikn Nuggits episodes

Unfortunately, this was not the end of it because Buzzfeed deicded to feed another show's character to AI without the creator's Knowledge. I'll let this screenshot speak for itself as it's taken from Loryn Brantz's Instagram.

This alone exposes the predetory behavior used against artists, animators, and creators alike. Upon hearing about this, I was disgusted and all I could do was relate being an artist myself. It's sad that we live in a time like this and my only hope if that people can come together to fight against the machine.

Fandom Boundaries

This document serves solely to set boundaries by Marzy, as the creator of Divine Acid, for fans of Divine Acid and my content. Having witnessed the behavior for the TADC fandom, Helluva Boss, Hazbin, and even Gameoverse, I feel that it is important that these boundaries are established to help fans, as individuals, navigate their way through this fandom.

Before I start I want to make a few disclaimers:

i. Please know that this is all from past experiences in fandoms I have been in. You learn, you grow, and it makes it easier to recognize these kinds of things.

ii. These boundaries are subject to change as time goes on and is done so at the discretion of Marzy herself. If these boundaries do not resonate with you then you may look elsewhere for content.

iii. Any fan is allowed to take this and apply it to other fandoms if they so wish. Likewise, Any creator is allowed to take this and adjust it for fandoms of their content. No credit is needed.

iv. Fans are not permitted to take this and adjust it to their convenience, use it to excuse their misconduct, or to excuse and perpetuate their bigotry in any fandom. Furthermore, it is not to be used to silence others.

v. This is not to be used to restrict any crew member as they have their own free will and what they do and say is on their own terms.

vi. Remember that this is a guide for fans, not a contract, and is used to help set up healthy boundaries for all involved.

1.You are the observer. Not a participant of the creative process. This means that you are not entitled to having your head canons become canon, nor have the content cater to you specifically. All creative decisions are done at the discretion of the crew and the creator of said content.

2. Voice actors, animators, and other crew members are not your friends. Please remember that you are a fan. All relationships between fan and crew member are to be kept at arms length. If at any time a crew member wishes to block you for whatever reason, you, the fan must respect their boundary. You are not entitled to an explanation nor forgiveness. You must accept it, learn from your mistake, and move forward.

3. Likewise, if a fan blocks you. You must respect this boundary. You are not entitled to any explanation nor forgiveness. Any fan is allowed to curate their space however they wish and by doing so they set their own boundaries. Not everyone will get along and that's okay!

4. Artwork, fanfiction, and other fanworks. Do not harass anyone for drawing fanart that you may not like. Do NOT “fix” other people’s art work. No art theft and no Gen AI. This applies to fanfiction and other fanworks.

5. Fans are highly advised to not interact with any form of rage baiting, bad faith arguments, or any type of instigating behavior. Save your time and your breath. The last thing you want is to lose your sanity over social media drama.

6. Crew members are not responsible for any damages caused by the fandom and are not obligated to respond to every fan or question nor are they obligated to confirm/deny any theories. You are not entitled to their time or their response.

7. Head canons and theories. Do not assume something is canon just because something happens to fall in line with your headcanon/theory. Do not claim your head canon or theory as canon if it is not officially stated otherwise or in the official content. At the same time, do not assume that something is NOT canon and shutdown other people’s head canons. Head canons and Theories are meant to be fun for everyone.

8. Shipping wars are not tolerated here. Do not harass anyone for drawing the “wrong” ship or shipping certain characters. Do not claim your ship as canon if it is not officially stated otherwise or in the official content. At the same time, do not assume that a ship is NOT canon and sink other people’s ships. Shipping is meant to be fun for everyone.

9. Do not harass over fictional characters! People will like characters that have committed crimes and atrocitites. This is not an excuse to do any kind of witch hunting. Likewise, Any crimes and atrocities committed by fictional characters of said content do not represent the morals, beliefs, or views of any fan or crew member

10. Curate your space. Block, mute and move on.

11. You are not entitled to know about the life and/or business of any crew member or fan. What they choose to share is on their own terms. Do not stalk or harass any crew member or fan.

12. You are not entitled to know why a decision was made by any crew member or fan.

13. Do not be a zealot and enforce these boundaries. This is a guide not gospel. You may refer to them as reference but no more. Just because these are written, doesn’t mean it will prevent any fandom shenanigans from happening. This document is meant to serve as a reference for fans to gauge whether or not they wish to engage in certain events, content, or individuals. These boundaries are meant to be vague enough to give fans enough wiggle room to be able to use their best judgement and watch where the wind blows.

14. Crew members and fans are not therapists. While fiction and fandoms are a great way to cope, do not use it to replace professional help, Do not use your mental health condition to excuse your misconduct in the fandom, and finally understand that therapy/phsyciatry is a tool for you to help you not a miracle that fixes everything. Utilize your tools well.

15. Big name fandom artists and other participants. While it's good to admire someone, do not put these individuals on a high pedestal and glorify them. This leads to parasocial relationships and building a false persona of said individual. Be cautious of individuals who act as the fanbassodor or the fandom voice.

16. Callout posts/witch hunts. Everyone has the right to spread awareness however, encouragement to harass, dogpile, slander, and spread misinformation is not permitted. Check and verify sources and claims. Crew members are not obligated to nor is it their responsibility to repost or spread callout posts, google docs etc.

17. Crew members and fans do not represent the views, morals, or beliefs of the content creator and the content as a whole. Everyone has their own opinion. Each individual represnts themselves and themsleves only.

18. It is not the responsibility of any crew member to babysit and/or micromanage a fandom space or fans.

19. Nobody has a clean slate. We are all human beings and are flawed. There is no such thing as a non-problematic person and even so, SOMEONE WILL make it a problem for any reason whatsoever. People WILL find a reason to complain and talk shit. It is your job to live your best life and be your true authentic self. Let people dislike you and love yourself. Real friends have your back and will accept you as you are as long as you commit to doing better for yourself.

20. Be cautious of those who claim to not be problematic, have done no wrong, and obsess over having the moral high ground. Such individuals are often controlling and manipulative.

21. Remember that context in a situation DOES matter.

22. It's okay to admit that the content is not for you. Such content may not be for everyone and the the worst thing you can do is force yourself to like it.

23. Overall, please have fun. The last thing I want is for people to take the content and work too seriously and be at each other’s throats over it.

Due to the high toxicity of fandoms and for my own sanity, the comments on this post will be closed.

My true thoughts on "live action" the Lion King movies

This franchise is the ONLY franchise I will ever see the Live Action movies of because I actually like the Lion King. I've been a huge fan of the Lion King since I was a child and would LOVE to see more original movies like Mufasa.

I know there's a remake of the original Sequel and I'm hoping they learned from the 2019 remake. Because I will be honest....the pacing was awkward. And there were a couple of original tid bits they added in there that I liked but I hope they take more liberties with the sequel remake instead of a 1:1 copy.

Gameoverse: My thoughts

So Glitch has a new pilot huh?

Well let's get into it.

The premise starts with a character named Kit as she works to defeat the main boss in her world. The world looks like a normal video game setting. We have the main characters, the main town, and the main character's friends. Well, Kit finally faces the actuall main boss and defeats them. And that's a good thing right?

Evidently not.

Well this all turns out to be a dream but not just any dream, a flashback dream. According to the show she keeps having the same dream over and over since her world got destroyed. She now she goes from world to world preventing heroes of their game from defeating their main villian.

Meanwhile there's a group called the Syntax. While Kits mission is to prevent heroes from winning, their job is to make sure they DO win so that they can collect the world's floats after their world is destroyed. So far the premise of this show is already intriguing!

She is a CUTIE!!!! 👀👀👀👀

This entire pilot spends the rest of the time preventing Flappers the Super Dolphin from defeating the main boss. Which by the way FEELS Familiar....

Anyway! The shows art style is visually appealling. From the animation, to still shots and the backgrounds. It's giving Mega-man.

Now I would say that the pilot was a bit...slow and dragged out, but TADC had the same problem in their pilot and the entire show turned out to be great. You can't really expect the pilot is be too heavy on the lore or conflict. It's job is to sell you, the viewer, the premise in hopes that it gets enough support to continue with more episodes. Keep in mind not every Pilot gets a series. I'm still waiting to see if Knights of Guinevere gets greenlit and so far I haven't heard anything from Glitch in regards to it because I REALLY liked that pilot that much. Now, I like the premise of Gameoverse but it's not my favorite. Out of Glitch's pilots so far. And again I didn't like TADC's pilot all that much either so that could change if the show continues with more episodes. But only time will tell so if you want to see Gameoverse continue or any of it's other pilots. Consider supporting them and watching!

This is all I have for now. I would go into more detail but I want you to actually watch the pilot and form your own thoughts first and we can have a discussion in the comments. See ya then!

YCH slots open!
