I feel like the last few weeks the internet has for some reason decided to show me loads of people who don't seem to understand what a country is and just.... how do you manage to live a life that bypasses that rudimentary piece of information?

Tomorrow it is five years since my Dad died and it's still odd to see it as just a calendar notification in my phone?

My relationship with him was awkward and complicated and even these years later still don't think I've resolved things entirely?

A second #Xmen portrait in one day? A bit more of a speed paint this time!

You know Nightcrawler, but possibly not Nocturne; a member of the Exiles who is from a dimension where Nightcrawler and Scarlet Witch had her as a kid. She briefly joined Excalibur in the main Marvel Universe.

Decided I needed to start pushing my game more into more dyanmic action poses for my #Xmen portraits, and thus my next one is the Master of Magnetism himself: #Magneto

Despite his origin as a hammy silver age villain, he's developed into one of the most compelling characters in all comics.

When Gus the Theatre Cat enacts a nefarious scheme with his allies Alexis Meade, Ajax and Darth Maul, his former friend Jean Luc Picard sends in a team of Catwoman, Sonic's Cop Friend, Xenia Onatopp, P. T. Barnum and Jane Eyre to stop him.

Today's X-men Portrait: Rachel Grey - the daughter of Cyclops and Jean from a dark future timeline and avatar of the Phoenix Force.

I decided to create my own design here as being a design snob, a lot of her designs really don't fit her themes, so I synthesised bits and pieces I liked.

A montage of 14 costumes Rachel Grey has word in the comics which range from bondagey to kinda weirdly preppy. Most have phoenix motifs.

A few of her comics costumes are pictured below, and imo a lot of them fail the important test of reading "this isn't Jean Grey" and "this person has a shit ton of baggage".

Also she started off with a really queer haircut and that got lost over time so I thought that element needed reinstating.

Today's #Xmen painting is a villain!

Stryfe is a clone of Cable, raised by Apocalypse, super evil, massive tryhard edgelord, presumably struggles walking through doors?

His design is fun to paint even if he's a massive tool whose horrific powers are kinda offset by him being extremely cringe?

AI Translations Are Adding β€˜Hallucinations’ to Wikipedia Articles AI translated articles swapped sources or added unsourced sentences with no explanation, while others added paragraphs sourced from completely unrelated material.

Can we just stop pretending that AI does anything well

Shela Sexton aka Escapade is a recent addition to the #Xmen world only being created in 2022 - a young trans mutant who has the power to swap places with someone within seven foot of her, though she actually largely relies on gadgets for her heroics.

That seems correct haha

Follow up question: how would she feel about her fellow belligerant bone combat based Pokemon: Marowak?
