Got into the silly cult game, Lamb deserves some fleecey friends methinks

I don’t care that most of the main characters are blood relatives. Gravity Falls is about found family. No I will not be elaborating

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.

Reblog this, spread the word

For anyone who is unaware, MAP means "minor attracted person" though this is nothing but a false name Pedophiles use in attempt to weasel their way into the Queer community. If you see anyone using this flag, block them and report them if you can.

Edit: I've seen a lot of people mention this so I'd like to state it here as well so more people can see it. 1) DO NOT REFER TO PEDOPHILES AS "MAPS". The only reason I used it here was to make people aware of what it means in this context. Actually using it when talking about pedophiles does nothing but help them hide and it also hurts the animation community. Which brings me to point 2) the term "MAP" in animation is an acronym for "Multi Animator Project". If you see an animation video with MAP in the title it simply means that the video was made in a collaboration between several animators, it is in no way related to pedophiles or pedophilia. We need to stop calling pedophiles MAPs both to stop giving them an "innocent" sounding title and to stop hurting the animators who are simply trying to keep their titles short and simple.

@sanityshorror @sobertober6969 thought you two would want to share this with your followers

today is palestinian land day.

today in 1976, 6 unarmed palestinians were killed and over 100 others were injured by israeli forces during protests against the theft of their home.

today, even after 75 years of israeli occupation, they are still here. they are continuing to fight for their land, their history, their freedom.

today, we recognize the people of palestine and remind ourselves that we are still fighting and standing for palestine and we will not stop until a permanent ceasefire.

HEADCANON TIME

In the episode Dreamscapers, Stan tells Soos a story about how he grew up and he claims he treats Dipper harshly so he wouldn’t be the same.

Stan: “The kid’s a loser. He’s weak. I just want to get rid of him. Yeah, those are all things people said about me when I was a kid.”

It then shows a series of flashbacks we learn to be false, including Stan throwing a left hook at a purse thief, his appearance resembling a stereotypical nerd (thus why we know it’s a fake memory, as Stan’s appearance didn’t look like that at that age in A Tale of Two Stans).

While the rest of Stan’s reason for going hard on Dipper can be supported (just wanting to give Dipper a backbone because Stan himself was pushed around)—what if it was more than that?

Like, maybe sometimes, he saw Ford in Dipper and let his grudge get the better of him?

So I decided to read Book of Bill and managed to finish right before the countdown ended
