Collage of three artworks side to side in a similar style.

1. A full-body digital illustration of Alexa in an Art Nouveau style referencing Alphonse Mucha's "Spring". She is a half-elf with fair skin and bright ginger hair falling in long swoops; her eyes are aqua blue matching the colour of the gems adorning her red beret, her single earring and her choker. She wears blue stays and red puff sleeves, long gloves and over-the-knee boots embroidered with gold. A cloth monogrammed with the initials 'A.I.' is tucked into her belt, and a flowing pink cloth wraps around her legs. Alexa is holding a silver rapier with one gloved hand and touching its blade with the fingertips of the other, as she looks to the side with a smirk. The background features Art Nouveau-style decorative elements with swooping vines, trailing roses and blooming lilies in a soft pastel colour scheme.

2. Full body Art Nouveau style of Ellia, a tiefling paladin, within an ornamental frame. She has ivory wings tinged with gold and pink, red skin with dark-tipped horns, short black hair, and pure gold eyes. She wears ornate white and gold armour. She is holding the Sword of Zariel with one hand; her red cape is folded over her other arm. All around her feet, snowdrops bloom. Ellia belongs to tieflingpaladin on bsky.

3. Art nouveau style drawing of Menardi, an elf woman with flowing white hair wearing metal and leather armour. She's standing in a misty/snowy landscape featuring bleeding heart flowers, and she's holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in another, looking down with a melancholy air. Menardi belongs to mimidrws on bsky.

Illustration of Amity and Kiana lying on their backs with their heads close together, reaching out to touch each other's hair as they look tenderly into each other's eyes. Stars swirl in the current around them. Amity is a dark-skinned girl with dragon-like horns and curly brown and pink hair. Kiana is a girl with pale skin and cat-like ears, white and purple hair, and yellow eyes rimmed in red makeup. Both characters belong to Lunewarden on Bluesky / Artfight.

Digital illustration of Alexa, a half-elven woman with pale skin, blue eyes and long red hair. She's wearing shimmery makeup and a circus ringmaster outfit. A heart-shaped spotlight is shining on her. She's holding a whip which is snapping in the air above her, as she touches a gloved hand to her top hat and smiles at the viewer.

Chibi lineup of the Forgekeepers: Artem, a tiefling rogue; Alexa, a half-elf bard; Dúri, a dwarf cleric; Theefsa, a goblin warlock; and Addan, an elf druid.
All characters other than Alexa belong to my D&D party friends (Theefsa belongs to lunelkie.bsky.social - Addan belongs to leki02.bsky.social); Alexa belongs to me.

How about masturbating while your partner is flying at Mach 10 through a gas giant and fighting a wizard on a helium mine because she took a bet you couldn't throw her off her game?

My auditing mentor just IMed me to ask if that was a Zangoose on my car and here I am taking psychic damage because I used the term "nuzlocke" and he knew exactly what I meant by that.

Oh no, my secret is out.

It's ~2000 words about Mori cranking his mufuggin' hog after having his head filled with Thoughts thanks to the gang talking up a Less Violent Saturnalia holiday.

Realization strikes that he's caught feelings for someone in the group as his "blank" wank bank has been corrupted with her presence.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Anime-style portrait illustration of my character, Yueying, glancing at the viewer with a solemn expression. There are large red camellias and small white jasmine flowers blooming around her with a dark background and blue lighting. She has glowing red/orange eyes, vibrant red and orange feathers on the sides of her head, and long black hair styled into a half up-do with an intricate gold hair stick.

Chibi-style illustration of my mermaid character, Evangeline, in her human form and sitting on a large rock on the beach as she smiles at the viewer. She has wavy platinum blond hair with a light blue and orange balayage that is tied into a ponytail with a long orange ribbon. She's wearing what looks like a one-piece swimsuit with shorts and a cape.

Digital illustration of my pug/chihuahua mix, Winnie, making a peace sign with one paw and holding a paintbrush in the other paw. She's wearing a little red beret and a blue neckerchief with paint splatters all over her face. There's splotches of paint circling her, some art supplies, and a canvas of a wide-eyed cat painted as the Mona Lisa.
The words "Professional" Artist frame the image.

Here, Grilled tells Aubergine about his plan if the powers-that-be ever decide to take the inn away from them...

“I learned about it from a note I found written by Mamallot’s great-grandmother, the innmaster from fifty years ago, Yamma. In it, she talks about how Old Man Egg came back from the war with six bombs. They’re like… Ophidian weapons. They’re packed with the same material they use in guns. If they’re lit, they’ll blow up like…” Grilled struggled to find the right words, having never described an explosion of this magnitude before. “Like, they would destroy everything around us. The inn would be shattered into pieces and anyone around here would probably die. Innmaster Yamma placed them around the inn because she planned to destroy everything if the lady baron at the time took the inn away from her.”
Aubergine stared, dumbstruck. “And it would kill everyone? Even us?”
“It would kill whoever stays till the end. It’s the final ‘fuck you’ if we lose everything.”

Grilled from the Good Thyme Inn books, sitting on a stool and looking menacingly at the viewer. His wrists are bright green with fire and he's holding knives. He's resting his chin on one hand. He has long silver hair and is wearing a hat with a rainbow feather.

If anyone who needs to hear this, canceling your Spotify account is, in fact, an act of resistance.

A Spotify crash shows the regime how unpopular they are, but crucially, it shows the oligarchy there's economic consequences by hitting them where it counts.

It spooks other CEOs from cooperating.

Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads.

Is Spotify running advertising for ICE or Border patrol recruitment?

Hey #PortfolioDay 👁️ I'm Aowna, a fantasy artist & writer, as well as a technical 3D artist by day. I take commissions!

Here's some of my recent work:

bsky.app/profile/aown...

Digital painting (commission) of a mushrooms forest with all kinds of different shrooms, all within a warm sunset-y color palette. In the center is a tro-odon (bird-y looking dinosaur) with red, orange, and yellow feathers.

A digital sketch in the style of a saint's icon. In a frame, with a gold halo and green robes, is a woman with four pale-grey hands. One hand is holding a miniature of a hotel, the windows of which glow red. The woman is grinning, but the upper part of her face is missing. There is a similar hole in the center of her chest.

Commissioned fullbody illustration of a giant grey wolf with rusted manacles on his legs, rime and mushrooms growing on his body, and some bones and muscles exposed. A rusty-orange mist drifts off his body.

Colorful blue and pink painting of a unicorn-woman standing in a magical pool, reaching for the stars overhead, surrounded by swirls of sky and magic. She has pale skin, light purple hair, three eyes, a horn, hooves, and a tail.
