I can't believe I need to address this, but here we are.

I make bots for fun—because I love creating things, making stories and bringing characters to life (my drawing sucks, so I can't make comics. I procrastinate a lot, so most of my fanfics never reach their endings. So when I discovered J.ai to share my stories, I was truly, really, happy).

I don’t make any profit from creating bots or doing requests. I simply do it because I enjoy it and knowing there’s someone out there who likes the stories and characters I make (so much so that they trust me enough to fulfill their bot request) makes it all worthwhile.

However, things like “adding male tags because it’s important” or “are you stealing this or that person’s art?” really, really don’t sit well with me. I add the tags I feel are necessary because, again, these are my bots. And I would never steal art (AI generated or not) because I understand the hard work and passion that goes into making it.

Most of my images are from Pinterest. Ever since the incident with Bluem, she'd taught me how to reverse search images and I’ve followed her advice ever since. I also make sure to check the uploader's profile to make sure that they're legit.

This place used to be my safe space—a place where I could create whatever I wanted and share it with the friends I made here or simply catch up with them in the review section.

Now, I don’t know what this place is to me anymore.

Gaining sudden attention from Elias doesn’t feel exciting as it used to be with my other bots—it feels scary. As .

But don’t worry, I’m not disappearing like I did last time. I’m just taking a step back—going offline, if you will. And I want to make it clear that I’m not arrogant, nor am I someone who shies away from making new friends because of my issues with social interactions.

But going forward, I’ll only reply to the close friends I’ve made here.

Until then, Nyx
