Love ya Cheritz, thanks for the honesty at least and for redoing the art.
Hello, this is Cheritz.
We sincerely apologize for the confusion caused by the images used in our repost events. An unexpected issue arose while collaborating with an external artist.
Due to the long holiday period, we did not have staff available to verify the artist’s work, which led to this mistake. We deeply acknowledge this oversight and once again extend our heartfelt apologies.
After concerns were raised, we reached out to the external artist to confirm whether AI was used. At the time, we received confirmation that AI was not involved, and based on this, we posted an announcement. However, after conducting an internal review, we discovered that AI had indeed been used. Following this, the artist also admitted that AI was partially used for the eyes and hair within their team.
(The following image is a conversation script inquiring about the use of AI with an external artist (personal information removed).)
As a result, we are immediately discontinuing the two repost events that involved AI-generated images. We sincerely apologize once again to those who were surprised by this sudden news. (We also deeply regret any confusion caused by our hasty post!)
The 707 illustration that was taken down today will be presented again with improved quality, so we kindly ask for your patience.
Moving forward, we will conduct more thorough reviews to prevent such incidents from happening again. We deeply regret this situation and appreciate your understanding. (_ _ ) (_ _ )
Sincerely,
Cheritz

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)
It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.
Bonus:
Every time someone draws Kim as a 20-something Korean idol with said idol's hair and muscles and a broad back I want to scream. Kim is a man in his 40s with a receding hairline, wrinkles and is very thin because of poverty, bc the socio-economic context in which he grew up. Like all Disco characters, his physical appearance speaks about his context, his life and the political situation in the region.
Extra hate points if he is portrayed as a Seolite who misses a country with which he has no cultural ties. Kim's central theme is that all the nationalists, xenophobes and racists in Ravachol treat him as if he were a migrant, even as if he had just arrived as well as humiliated by his fellow cops and superiors, treating him as a teenager and keeping him in juvenile police as punishment not only bc of xenophobia and racism but also under this patriarchal idea of seeing those it oppresses as children. Here we can easily point to the western colonialist and patriarchal fetish of viewing asian people (and global south ppl in general) as underage or eternally young, which the fandom unfortunately does not escape. Surprised that they then draw Harry like an actual 40s or even 50s years old white european guy? not really bc you can't escape the imperialist mindset.
Kim is born and raised in Revachol, he feels as much a part of it as Harry does. I think there's even a dialogue where La Revacholiere tells Harry that Kim is part of Revachol and loves him too.
yet deeply despise him to the point of obliterating everything that makes him Kim Kitsuragi and everything Disco Elysium is about. If they can't stand how the characters are (and how they are tied at their core to the game's story and what the game talks about and its politics) maybe these people should go play a game about a stereotypically attractive, Euro-white teenage girl looking for her neighbour's cat in the alps.
Chewing and gnawing on the irony One Piece continually shows with the main characters where they're doing objectively kind and helpful things and that's what gets them in trouble with the law. It's the selective application of criminal justice. The bias and room for corruption built into the system itself. It's delicious. It's horribly relevant. I'm obsessed.
