Hi, I'm Rose, witch of time and space and caring too much -- the Fantasy Heartbreaker!
I write queer SFF and horror fiction and make hella indie games!
My horror has one overriding principle -- that Scaring is Caring. Horror should reflect our fears and help us express and deal with them. Sometimes that means darkness and doom, sometimes it means standing up to the terrors and kicking their asses.
I'm on #drivethrurpg, #itch, and #patreon .
Anti-AI art meme that makes a reasonable argument but is visually deceptive.
I'm seeing this meme passed around to argue against #aiart . The text is a reasonable argument, but the images are deceptive.
I'm pretty sure that the one on the left is a #Midjourney v3 render. It's stylized, the hand and eyes are wrong, and zooming in you can see Midjourney v2/3 "brushstroke" artifacts.
Meanwhile, the one on the right is definitely human Photoshop. AIs don't make clean composites of training data.
#Introduction 3.0
I originally created this account to share my experiences as the wife of a #resort manager living on the property in Montana and Wyoming. Plus having multiple sclerosis (#MS) means I don't have a lot of time left with my remaining brain cells.
Now my husband and I have landed back where we grew up, in California. My husband is still running resorts but I'm not as involved as I once was when we lived on the guest ranches we ran. ** big sigh of relief!**
I seem to have developed a habit over the years of catching a slice of moon near a big ol' cactus during the day #Saguaro #naturePhotography #Photography #desert #Arizona
#Introduction 3.1
I still use my familiarity with the industry to voice random grievances and fascinations. Like unfortunate #hotelcarpet choices. I also love calling out the voices of those guests who use entitlement to justify their disrespectful behavior toward the front desk clerk. I do like to reminisce about the good ol’ days. So there's that too.
But mostly I'll just re-toot your pet pics and artwork. You've been warned

I am happy to have been able to spend some time outdoors over the past week. One of the Mud Lake Conservation Area's resident minks was munching on a freshly caught fish. Photo taken earlier this week.

Part 2 - working backwards I am.
Brightness varies bc the first 3 frames were shot at iso 2000 and the rest at 1600.
Because I keep reading that Escher's work entered the public domain today. From 2003:
http://www.andrewlipson.com/escher/relativity.html
Just seen the news that M.C. #Escher ‘s work is now in the public domain. One of my most memorable trips to a gallery was the Escher Palace in The Hague. Don’t dismiss his art as just maths - it shows an understanding for sure, but that enabled him to break the rules.
6 iron mirrors, ornate looking-glasses sealed in silver frames by tungsten rivets, each completely impenetrable to living reflections, so nobody will ever appear in them, both to help me set aside my own vanity, and to make vampire houseguests feel welcome in my home
Yesterday’s trip to a bookstore cafe 🥰 starting the year right!

More adventures with Lynxie. Here she is on guard duty while I take pictures. She always looks so huge and fierce in photos. She's all of about 5lbs. And quite a snuggler.
