**This part is written after the rest written below. I found that Scratch may not actually be training AI on people's art, but they are still incorporating AI into the site, which I personally am against. But even if Scratch were to not end up using an AI, I would still be leaving, as I was planning to before the AI news. I probably shouldn't have been as immediate and emotional with my reaction, but with all the AI stuff going on for past few years, I am just... tired. I'll try to be not as rash and more calm and analytical with this sort of news in the future.** So I opened Scratch yesterday to find people discussing how Scratch is planning to start training GenAI on images in the projects of Scratchers. This is infuriating. I have actually been meaning to create a final send off and leave Scratch, as I feel that I have outgrown it. I was planning to do a more dignified and artistic ending, with three projects with art, as well as music depicting the themes of those projects. But no. I don't care anymore. Not with what Scratch is doing. So here, the link to my Bluesky, which is where you can find me and my art from now on (probably rated 13+): https://bsky.app/profile/myledoxxe.bsky.social And Everyone, remember that you can use Glaze and Nightshade to protect your work and decrease the chance that a GenAI model can use them. Here's what content the send off projects would have had: Project 1 - "Debut" -Artwork is actually what I used for my initial introduction post on Bluesky. -Depicts four characters: Tenashi, Zhen, and Kira gathered around a throne, with Myle sitting on the throne. -Songs used: 'Fight Song' by Eve, 'Sangenshoku/Three Primary Colors' by Pelican Fanclub(English cover by Studio Yuraki), and 'This is Our Tale' by Oscar Gavin Project 2 - 'Curtain Call' -Depicts the Prodigal finally showing himself, but covering his lower face with a stage curtain, his eyes glowing purple. -Songs Used: 'On the Other Side' by longestsoloever, 'Are You Proud of Me Now' by DAGames, and 'Nai Nai' by ReoNa Project 3 - "Return to the Void" -Depicts the Founder, Mazhran-Kho, engulfed in shadows, the shadows forming clutching hands and claws around him, with a white censor bar scribbled over his eyes. -Would've had Story Bits telling the Sa'al creation story, and how Mazhran-Kho used to be the god of void before being the god of stories as well as being the last Sa'al primordial god alive, as the others died fighting each other in a cosmic civil war to decide how reality should be made. -Songs Used: 'Voided' from Void Stranger, 'Song of the Abyss' by Aviators, and 'What Remains of Me' by longestsoloever You can search the songs yourself to get an idea for the themes and concepts of the projects, as well as the thoughts and feelings running through the characters' minds. 01001111 01101100 01100100 00100000 01000110 01110010 01101001 01100101 01101110 01100100 00101100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01100100 01101111 01101111 01110010 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01101111 01110000 01100101 01101110 00101110 00100000 01010100 01100001 01101011 01100101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 01110010 00100000 01110100 01101001 01101101 01100101 00101100 00100000 01100001 01101110 01100100 00100000 01110111 01100001 01101100 01101011 00100000 01110100 01101000 01110010 01101111 01110101 01100111 01101000 00100000 01110111 01101000 01100101 01101110 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100111 01110010 01100101 00100000 01110010 01100101 01100001 01100100 01111001 00101110 00100000 01010111 01100101 00100000 01100001 01110010 01100101 00100000 01110000 01110010 01100101 01110000 01100001 01110010 01100101 01100100 00101110
