We don’t think we’ve made an intro post, so we’ll do it now & pin this:

We’re the Terarbal System, a Plural, AuDHD collective that loves promoting community & intersectionality. We love art & games, especially to talk about different experiences.

We’ll list names & pronouns of members below :D

While we're slowly getting better after everything going on lately, we've been having some bouts of inspiration to do artsy things

...And it's all new projects

Why, brain!?

One idea's a trigger/content advisory asset based on TV & gaming advisory systems

Would this be useful?

- Road (he/him)

A preview of a stream asset proposed by RoadToDuskVT. The asset is a square content advisory bar inspired by various television and gaming content advisory systems and terminology.

We're planning to stream later today, since we woke up with energy ^////////^

We've got an impromptu poll in our official Discord server to decide what game to do.

See you at 2 PM EDT!

We apologise for the continued silence. Things have been rocky.

We made an announcement in the discord server regarding things.

- Terarbal System (they/them)

An announcement from the official Dream Domains Discord server -- in collaboration between RoadToDuskVT and Nebulas_NoctisVT

The announcement reads as follows:

With everything that’s been going on, it’s been difficult to make a decision regarding returning to streams and working on what we promised.

We were fired from our job after just over a month. As such, we feel compelled to stream soon. However, it is hard to find the energy to do so, hence why we can’t put a date to coming back.

With how many financial struggles we’ve already faced this year, combined with our mental health, losing our job has killed our creativity. As such, we cannot continue anymore goals from our donothons, from Doodle Truth wins and song releases to conlang showcases.

Any winners are free to contact us privately for talks of compensation for your winnings. We genuinely apologise for any inconvenience or harm this may cause.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

chat I'm gonna be real the enshittification of BlueSky makes me really depressed. I don't know where to go after this. I feel like I've already been preparing myself for the inevitable by cutting myself off from more and more people - not death prep, but just... loneliness

We're sorry for ghosting our community this past week; mental health's a butt.

We're getting better but don't know when we'll stream again. We don't want to name a date only to push it back & leave y'all hanging.

Thank you for your patience with us through this year.

Today your voices were heard. We will need to be loud throughout the shutdown and continue to put pressure: No anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in the final negotiated bill. Only clean bills that don't throw trans and queer people under the bus.

Kicked butt today y'all. Good work.

“Hell yeah!” Screams a crow against a rainbow backdrop, their eyes sparkling in trans colors.

The crow is clearly the Chaotic Queer Corvid Collector familiar, now showing off their rainbow tipped chest feathers as they raise their wings and smile, “Real artists are still making cool shit!”

Our 2025 Affiliateiversary is cancelled.

We’ve had 3 major autistic meltdowns in 2 days straight due to our job. Brain wouldn’t shut off last night til it gave out at 6 AM so we’ve had little sleep.

We’re exhausted.

If you happen to be canceling streaming services for whatever reason, maybe throw a few bucks to a creative's Patreon or Ko-fi. Many have monthly tiers starting as low as $1, which may not sound like much, but if they get enough sign-ups, it could be life-changing money for those living on the edge.

This is why I roll my eyes at the idea of boycotting entire countries.

I will absolutely boycott Microsoft because they called in the feds to investigate staff for the crime of PROTESTING AGAINST GENOCIDE, but I'm not going to give anyone shit for being born on the wrong side of an invisible line.

sisi jiang / 姜思琪 @six6jiang.bsky.social · 21d

every day i log into this website and see people say absolutely deranged stuff about chinese companies just because they’re racist. like guys you know that chinese companies doing well is just about as nefarious and scary as microsoft or amazon doing well, right?

Happy Halluino! 🎃 @aluino.blacksky.app · 22d

Added alt text with full quote.

“When I see that, I worry that they might face serious trouble down the line if they don't take it more seriously.”

Hirohiko Araki addresses Al art in his latest book:
"Recently, I came across a drawing that perfectly mimicked my art style. I thought 'I don't remember drawing this' only to find out it was Al, I was shocked, this is truly evil and a tool for scammers"

In this post there is a photo of Hirohiko Araki, creator of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure next to Giorno from the series.

By Hirohiko Araki. It’s titled “Today’s World of Con Artists” and it reads: Speaking about 'societal evils, I think that as Al continues to spread throughout society, we're going to see an increasingly shady world filled with scammers exploiting it. Recently, I came across a drawing and thought, "This is something I drew, right?" I was shocked to find out it was actually created by Al. When I draw manga, I add subtle, personal elements that make the work uniquely mine. But this Al-generated piece even mimicked details like the way I draw eyelashes, so precisely that it was almost impossible to tell it apart from my work. If it were based on recent drawings, I'd know right away, "No, I didn't draw this." On the other hand, I honestly wouldn't be able to tell the difference if it were done with my art from about ten years ago, when my memory of it would be a little hazy. The more Al advances, the more this kind of thing will happen.
Art reflects the times, and manga is one example of that. Seeing this world of con artists appear in manga could very well mean that we're headed for a future world dominated by fraudsters. This type of 'evil' in today's age will undoubtedly end up impacting manga down the line.
Copyright infringement by Al is also a 'villain' that we manga artists must face. The extreme scenario is that Al-generated fakes might start being accepted as the "real thing," and even if we try to protect our work, these counterfeits are becoming so accurate and sophisticated that it's no longer a fight an individual can win. Having some kind of laws would probably be the only way to regulate this. However, because we're dealing with a world of con artists, there's also a very real possibility that laws favoring them will appear before we know it. Personally, I entrust my copyright management to Shueisha, but some manga artists are lax in managing their copyrights, leading to others using their artwork without permission or even leaking original drawings.

Nintendo, like any big corpo, isnt our "friend", but weaponizing their inclination to "protect their brand" is a good way to gum up ICE a little bit.

anyways, the article mentions a source saying that israel is planning on moving to amazon's cloud servers, so keep that in the back of your mind: it might be a good idea to mentally prepare for a potential future amazon boycott.

Honestly pretty excited for this owo

We've also been working on a few things, namely art-wise.

We'll have a special announcement for October, as we typically dedicate the month to darker content, such as Alice: Madness Returns

I probably should've said this when announcing stream, but tonight is the last Doodle Truth night >:D

I might bring it back at some point later, but for now I need to stop it so that I can prioritize the queue.

You've got 2 chances today!
