Thank you!!! To clarify the characters are from a smutty M/F romance book series by Scarlett St. Clair!! Just one of the many many retelling/interpretations of Hades and Persephone. (Hades owns a nightclub for example lol)

Crazy to think how many versions of these stories have been told 💫

Rosie’s Fables @rosiesfables.bsky.social · Apr 11

I never share half baked work but this was prettty enough - and it’s my favourite mythology couple. Hades and Persephone 🖤⛓️‍💥📓

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

The problem with giving tips on how to spot ai in bookish art - it also gives tips to them how to do better next time to hide it. And I hate that. #booksky

Rosie’s Fables @rosiesfables.bsky.social · Mar 29

Love the use of black! Really makes the colours/pattern stand out!! 🌈🌈

Rosie’s Fables @rosiesfables.bsky.social · Mar 29

It’s crazy to think that there is more ai ACOTAR fanart than human made fanart now in the community.

It honestly took less then are year to completely drown out the labour of artists that have been in the fandom since the start. It’s just kinda sad.

Rosie’s Fables @rosiesfables.bsky.social · Mar 28

I’m grateful my work is commission based and I have to stop between stages to show my work and ask for notes, otherwise I would 100% lock in and finish it in one go (which is unhealthy)

Rosie’s Fables @rosiesfables.bsky.social · Mar 28

Do any other artists have a hard time coming out of a drawing session?

Like I love drawing so much but when it’s time to stop, it’s SO hard. Like my mind just keeps thinking of all the things I want to do and it’s hard for me to settle down for the evening.

Omg!! Okay I’ll try reporting 😭😭 Bluesky has taken down one of their accounts a few weeks ago but damn…

Rosie’s Fables @rosiesfables.bsky.social · Mar 12

This person has done this a few times to me and has me blocked so I appreciate ppl letting me know!!!

Please writers/authors beware of scams! 😮‍💨

Write Faster, Theo @writefastertheo.bsky.social · Mar 11

Okay, after some investigation I see the "artist" who followed me who is trying to sell commissions with genAI art also has outright stolen art from a genuine artist ( @rosiesfables.bsky.social )

So I don't feel bad outing @ninaartsketch.bsky.social as a scammer and thief.
