Should We Use AI for School Homework? Pros, Cons, and Future Insights

 Benefits of Using AI for Homework

1. Instant Homework Help

AI-powered tools offer instant explanations and solutions. Whether it’s a math problem or essay writing, AI homework help is available 24/7, eliminating the wait for tutoring sessions.

2. Personalized Learning Experience

AI can tailor responses based on a student’s learning style. This customized support helps struggling students grasp difficult topics more easily than traditional resources.

3. Improves Efficiency and Time Management

Students can save time researching and editing by using AI writing assistants, grammar checkers, and summarizing tools. This means more time for revision and other subjects.

4. Reduces Homework Anxiety

When students get stuck, AI can provide a non-judgmental learning partner. This boosts confidence and can reduce the anxiety associated with complex assignments.

1. Overdependence on Technology

Relying too heavily on AI can hinder the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for academic and career success.

2. Risk of Plagiarism and Academic Dishonesty

Many AI tools generate ready-to-submit answers. If students copy without understanding, it leads to ethical issues and defeats the purpose of education.

3. Lack of Emotional and Human Understanding

AI may give correct answers, but it lacks the empathy, context, and mentorship that a teacher or tutor can provide.

4. Inaccuracy and Bias

Some AI tools may provide incorrect or biased answers, especially in subjects that require subjective analysis or up-to-date data.

🐝Scams to Bee Aware of on Tumblr: 🐝

(posted: 2/6/25 - Updated 2/12/25)

The art commission scam.

Are you an artist? Were you DM'd, sent an ask by a blog with no posts or little to no content, or had a comment on a post asking about a commission and to DM them? Did they ask you to draw their son, daughter, or pet? Did hey offer you $200-$500? If so, you should learn about this scam and how to avoid it.

The sugar baby/daddy scam. / Free money scam.

Did you make a post asking for donations? Did someone DM you wanting you to be their sugar baby or promising you money in exchange for something? Did they tell you that you need to send them money to verify you want to 'do this' or pay for 'shipping' or 'transaction' fees? You're about to get scammed!

The muse scam.

If you post photographs frequently, you may find your posts receiving comments from 'artists' saying how 'inspired' they are and how eager they are to make art or a mural for your work. This is a fake cheque scam and you should avoid it at all costs!

The (read more) / Click here! scam.

If you see a post ending in a link that says (read more...) or Click here! This is an attempt to get you to click a link that will lead to a malicious website in an attempt to steal your information, or possibly even install malicious files onto your phone or computer.

is Now Hiring! Scams. ✨New(ish)✨

See a post like this on your dash or in a tag you frequent? Was the user once a normal user and now they're spamming ads like this in unrelated tags? This likely means that user got their account hijacked by clicking the link via a different post. Avoid clicking links like these at all costs!

HRT Medicine / Therapy services ✨New(ish)✨

This scam is targeting transgender people, and is likely stealing peoples personal information and likely their credit card information. If you see or find a blog like the above commenting on your posts, in #transgender or other such related tags, block and report them immediately. (Selling stuff like this is illegal btw.)

Recruitment for the Illuminati.

This scam tries to recruit people into the Illuminati by offering people mass amounts of wealth, homes, and even cars. This is all an attempt to steal your money, or worse, your identity...

Recovery Scammers.

If you make a post talking about how you've lost money, be it bitcoin, crypto, or were scammed in any sort of way, you may find yourself receiving an ask from a recovery scammer. These are people claiming they can offer 'recovery services' while claiming to be 'ethical hackers' that have 'back end knowledge' to online services. Claiming they can retrieve your money, account, photos, and other such lost items. All you have to do is give them your account information and some money! :) (Do not do this, obviously.)

These scammers also target people who post in #scam and/or other related tags like #scams or #scam alert, posting things like this in the comments on peoples posts:

Dropshipping Websites. (Curtsy of @ai-art-thieves)

See a post of an object or a piece of clothing by a popular tumblr user that has 10k+ notes, does it say 'I got this here!' or '>>GET YOURS HERE<<' at the bottom with a link to a store? That user is a part of a dropshipping advertising scheme and are being paid to advertise these scummy websites. These websites are usually malicious in the manner that they sell cheaply products. In the worst case you'll get a bootleg or flawed product, or even a different product completely, or in even worse cases, you'll never get it at all.

(Or they will steal your information in the case of those shopify websites that popup online with deals you 'just can't refuse!!!' So buyer beware.)

Campaign boost/mutual aid support scams. (By @kyra45)

If you or anyone you know has posted looking for donations, and you receive an ask, DM, or even a comment about someone offering to 'assist you in boosting your account/campaign,' all you have to do is pay them <amount>, then this is a fake check scam you should definitely read up on and learn about to avoid.

Pet donation Scams. (by @kyra45)

See a post about someone needing help with a vet bill? Do they stress the pet is in peril and will die soon? Is their PayPal from the Philippines yet the vet bill is from the United states? Those are just two things to look out for with this scam.

Donation / Mutual Aid scams. (by @kyra45)

One of the most common and well known scams on tumblr to this day. These scams mainly revolve around brand new accounts made within a day or week reblogging very few posts and then suddenly asking for money via donations through PayPal. These blogs will send out the same copy/paste ask en masse to dozens if not hundreds of people, change their name frequently over the course of days if not weeks, and will even lie about being Palestinian, stealing stories from legitimate gofundmes, and even having conditions such as diabetes while not even knowing how it works.

Here is a current list of documented PayPal scammers: Part 3

I also have a very extensive list of scammer call out posts on my main blog, @slenbee under my #scam tag which can be found here if anyone's interested in scrolling through it. Just note that I kindly ask that minors do not follow that blog as it is my personal blog and is not a blog dedicated to scam busting/documenting.

You're 100% ok with looking through the scam tag and reblogging things from it, as well as checking out the links on my pinned post. :)

I think that's it for Tumblr scams, If I think I need to add more later I'll update the post and make an update note about it.

Take care everyone and don't get scammed!

MY GO-TO'S FOR EDITING.

I’ve decided to put together a masterlist of the resources I use, since I get asked about them pretty often. If you're somebody who can’t commission resource makers or you’re just wanting to get into editing or creating commissions yourself, I hope this helps.

pinterest. IMPORTANT NOTICE IF YOU UTILIZE THIS: avoid usings people's art; if you can get permission from an artist to use a piece, that's another discussion. Be warned there may also be ai mixed in, which I've personally got a good eye for spotting; i prefer to go by images i've seen long before the ai craze, since i've been on there for a while. your best bet is looking through miscellenous character boards. From there, you can choose images to blend or even make pngs out of, to give unique flare to your edits.

remove.bg + photokit. if you're looking to save time or don't have a way to cutout images manually ( i sometimes like to use my art tablet if I want to be really precise ), these are good ways to make pngs out of images you find, as opposed to png sites. i prefer this because ive caught adware on png sites before, plus there's also a lot of ai on those as well.

for screencaps, i use google images or youtube, since the quality is higher than anything on pinterest...though, psds are what normally cover up quality issues, from what i've learned. then again, it might depend on the psd. IMPORTANT NOTE IF YOU UTILIZE THIS: If you’re using google Images, searching for actual screencaps might lead you to blogs or websites dedicated to capping—many of which ask for credit if you use their content. Also, avoid reposting people's edits or gifs, since those will inevitably show up when searching faceclaim names and similar tags. on the off chance you find free-to-use faceclaim content, be sure to credit if/when asked !

photopea. it's a great alternative for those of us who can't be assed to learn adope, nor can afford it .

I know it doesn't look like much, but this is genuinely my go-to formula. I don't think there's any need for anything over the top. That said, if you guys have better alternatives or anything to add, feel free—this is just based on my own experience.

ADDITIONAL EDITING TIPS: If you find yourself stumped creatively or unsure how to approach using these, I’d recommend breaking down the character or setting you’re working with in terms of aesthetic. What are some keywords or imagery you associate with that muse ? Take a character like h/arry p/otter, for example—focus on individual visuals, important symbols, and signature colors. For him, I’d think of round glasses, lightning bolts, owls, candles, spell books, brooms, etc. Then, take each of those elements and explore them individually. I’d maybe start by looking up “owls” on Pinterest; from there, I might find images that can be turned into pngs. Repeat that process with every vibe or detail that comes to mind. You don’t have to limit yourself to making pngs either—feel free to experiment by blending different images together and building a look from there.

ADDITIONAL UPDATES/RECOMMENDATIONS:

Screencapped ( * will need an account )

VLC Media Player ( * good for screencaps / things you've downloaded from youtube )

The answer to this is probably clear, but I'm baffled on where the Teen Wolf series got its lore on Kitsune from and why the fan communities think that they are in Japanese myths? One time I tried finding the sources for these "13 types" of Kitsune from the show, but nothing really aside from like one or two of them was out there in English atleast.

Is there any specific reason behind the increased amount of questions which appear to depend on random works of fiction I don't even post about as the sole point of reference? Did someone share my blog in some non-standard location? I know nothing about Teen Wolf but the "13 kitsune types" lists you can find in such illustrious sources as AI generated tiktoks and yt shorts and whatever this is:

are made up. Basically worthless as a source. Attempting to track their origin down lead me to a neocities version of an rp resource for the mmo Furcadia compiled between 2003 and 2007 which in turn depended on this archived page of highly dubious quality ("To be honest, I have no idea how many provinces are in Japan") going back to 1997, where the idea of 13 types was, as far as I can tell, invented based on, to put it diplomatically, rather creative exegesis of the 1961 book Kitsune. Japan's Fox of Mystery, Romance & Humor by Kiyoshi Nozaki, which is largely just a compilation of quotes from classical literature (which at the time would be something relatively novel in English) - free of 13 types of elemental foxes. Note that while the article mentions "researchers" the only sources other than this single book listed are random people active on the same websites as the author in the 1990s, as seen on the archived list of credits here. To date I haven't seen these lists of "kitsune types" actually being posted in Japanese, they exclusively propagate on the English-speaking web and on particularly low quality sites at that; they are absent from both credible and less than credible sources over on the Japanese side, as far as I am aware. A number of medieval sources contain an enumeration of three types of foxes - heavenly, earthly, and human, following the heaven-earth-man philosophical principle imported from China, but what that exactly entailed varies between said sources (Bernard Faure, Protectors and Predators, p. 138-139). Needless to say, this is completely unrelated to the discussed tomfoolery. Jp wikipedia claims there are a few Edo period attempts at arranging various terms for foxes like nogitsune, tenko etc. into some sort of hierarchy but I didn't independently verify that. In any case, nobody ever believed foxes have offbrand Pokemon types which determine their power level. The list of alleged fox types is the result of a game of telephone.

ATTENTION EPIC THE MUSICAL FANS!!!!

There is a store obviously run by AI that is stealing credit for the musical and is "making" mech. Here are some screenshots

When you click on it it leads to this page

Not very detailed 🤔 sus

When you click the link it leads you to a completely different page with some very obvious stolen/fake merch

Just wanted everyone to be aware and that the only official merch is by the Gilded Teafling

One last thing. The blog post on the fake website is hilarious

Does death count at growth lol? Also I did not know that Mr. Jalapenõ Man's real name was Jane Doe/sar

[connor-101]

Hey gachanebulainfo, using AI and impersonating someone is NOT COOL.

Almost all of the images on their blog have AI in some form in them, and the link that supposedly leads to the Gacha Nebula download isn't even the official site!

And it's PRETTY OBVIOUS that this is AI too. AND it's obvious this is an impersonator too. Gacha Nebula has no Tumblr account, just YouTube and a discord server. And the actual Gacha Nebula downloader is in itch.io, not whatever your website is.

If you want ACTUAL information about Gacha Nebula and it's updates, then just follow the official creator, noxula, on YouTube. Not this sloppy account.

An online course founded by far-right influencer Andrew Tate was breached by hackers, revealing the email addresses of roughly 325,000 users.

The self-described online university, known as The Real World, offers users “advanced training and mentoring” for around $50 per month. Formerly known as Hustler’s University, the platform focuses on topics such as health and fitness, financial investment, and e-commerce businesses.

“Money making is a skill,” the website states. “We will teach you how to master it.”

On Thursday, the hackers made their actions known by flooding the course’s primary chatroom with emojis they uploaded while Tate was streaming an episode of his show “Emergency Meeting” on Rumble.

The emojis included a transgender flag, a feminist fist, an AI-generated image of Tate draped in a rainbow flag, another where his buttocks are enlarged, and the cat character used in the “boykisser” meme.

The Daily Dot was provided with approximately 794,000 usernames for what are believed to be the site’s current and former members, as well as the contents of the platform’s 221 public and 395 private chat servers. A list of 324,382 unique email addresses that appear to belong to users who were removed for failure to pay was also handed over.

In a statement on the breach, the hackers claimed that after accessing the data they were able to leverage a vulnerability “to upload emojis, delete attachments, crash everyone’s clients, and temporarily ban people” from the platform.

The Real World claims it currently has over 113,000 active users. If accurate, the site at minimum would generate upwards of $5,650,000 every month.

A source with knowledge of the breach told the Daily Dot that “hacktivism” was cited as a motive, and that the platform’s security was described as “hilariously insecure.”

Analysis of the chat logs by the Daily Dot shows everything from inspirational quotes and progress updates to complaints over the “LGBTQ agenda.”

“Maybe it’s just the MSM, but I am starting to fear for my own safety and the future of the USA,” one user wrote following the first assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. “Shootings every day, LGBTQ agenda, the matrix, I live in a very good area with a very good home life but I am sick of all this garbage happening here.”

Tate, a 37-year-old former reality TV star and kickboxer, is known best as a leading figure in the “manosphere.” The manosphere is described as a series of websites, blogs, and forums that primarily promote masculinity, although critics argue that a significant portion of the content is toxic in nature.

Tate previously described himself as a misogynist and is known for his disparaging views towards women. A dual U.S.-U.K. national, Tate is currently awaiting trial on human trafficking charges in Romania. In total, Tate is facing five legal investigations stemming from Romania and the U.K. Other allegations include those involving the rape and sex trafficking of minors, as well as forming an organized crime group to sexually exploit women. Tate has denied the charges.

The email addresses from the dump were provided by the hackers to HaveIBeenPwned, a service that alerts users when their credentials are leaked. Those email addresses as well as the chat data were also handed over to the journalism collective DDoSecrets, which hosts hacked and leaked data in the public interest.

Seeing those "stop the negativity" post inspired me: let's try and put this into perspective. This is a beta site, and just at the top of my head, this is the "negativity" that these anons want us to stop talking about:

- The Story and News Post are bad: It's an accessibility nightmare, numerous people have said it's difficult to read due to color shifts, the formatting, etc. there's to many, it's overwhelming. It's boring, and new players will have to backread far to much to understand the site lore.

- The use of AI: there are not enough updates and transparency about the progress of AI assets being updated, it feels like the site is actively trying to hide the fact it's used AI via unpinning the AI megathread, many believe that it should be more of a priority then what it is, it makes certain users feel like CJ doesn't really care about the AI usage- which goes back to the hiding AI. There are also accusations of the writing being done with AI as well.

- The website is to demanding. There's too many events, without enough time for people who can't spend all day on the website to actually get things. Everything is way to grindy, it takes to long to complete, and the nightmare pvp shopping makes all of this worse, you're fighting other players to get the supplies to do this nightmare grind. It shouldn't take 2-3 hours to get through this all, it leaves no time to play other aspects of the game, no time to get resources, nothing- especially when events are so often. It leads to mass burnout, and strong feelings of FOMO. Cj often uses the "no retirement" policy as a reason people can't feel FOMO- which shuts down the conversation, and ignores the core issues.

- The cash shop: this game is in beta, but to many items- especially collection items- can only be obtained with the cash shop or freemiun currency. Adoption certificates and Name certificates can only be obtained with the cash shop or the freemiun currency- which takes to long to get, as sandust items are to expensive and regular site activities don't reward enough to get all the cash shop items fast enough. Again, cash grabby.

- CJ is unprofessional, catty, and dismissive- to the point certain players are nervous to share their thoughts and criticisms on site, and they feel like those thoughts and concerns would be ignored anyways. He has left rude, dismissive comments on forum suggestions, and often it seems like it just... Missed the point, and he will argue why things shouldn't be changed- even though we're in Beta. That's the entire point of us.

- Ember is... Ember. Admittedly, I don't know much with Ember, I've only had good interactions with him, but there are screenshots of him being unprofessional in chat, and his coding skills need some work, from what I understand?

- Loot Boxes: I have not forgotten about this. CJ said there wouldn't be any loot boxes and less then a week later, introduced a loot box. We all know the shady techniques used by lootboxes to prey on children, people with mental health issues, addiction problems, etc. There has been no transparency about the supposed solution to this, but allegedly staff was discussing one? This got such backlash, we should have got an apology, anykind of anything to show the community was heard, and it won't happen again, however, considering how dismissive CJ was during the entire thing, I'm not sure.

- Accessibility in general: players have wanted accessibility options, and these are being added to various things around the site- this is good. However, there has been some concerns about how accessibility should have been thought about sooner rather then later. I can only hope accessibility will be considered less of an afterthought in the future.

This is the "negativity" on this blog- real, genuine criticism of the website, that players do not feel safe sharing on the actual site, because it gets shut down or ignored. If staff listened to us, then this salt blog could have normal salt blog things- instead of being used as a safe place to put our concerns and feedback about the website.

like, let's get real, we all realize how weird that is, right? That so many don't feel safe to put feedback as beta testers on the website, because we don't want to be shut down, we can't be silenced here, and we're not even sure there's a point because we get ignored so often?

Anyways, sorry for the long post- I'm certain I missed some stuff! Rather it's other things entirely or criticism of the things above... This site is in Beta, god.

☁️

[doodlemancy]

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuughhhhhhhhhh

so here's the deal re: this fucking horseshit. god i hate this.

i, personally, have mostly given up on trying to dodge inclusion in AI datasets. the stuff i make generally isn't what they're looking for anyway and there's no real way to 100% avoid being scraped short of becoming entirely invisible online, which would um, lead to me having no money and dying. that's part of the cruelty of all this, but also, in a way, it's the same risk artists online have always taken; if you want people to see your work, you have to post it knowing that some of those people are fucking lowlife piece of shit scumbags who will try to resell it on redbubble or something for a quick buck. AI is just a new and exhausting way for garbagey people to stink worse. i am not in any way excusing that behavior or trying to imply people should not be mad about it or that we shouldn't condemn this move and fight back. "if you don't want your work stolen, don't put it online" is the kind of shitty Internet Tough Guy talk i've always hated since my dA days. it's as useless and heartless as telling people that if they don't want their bikes stolen, they shouldn't leave them at the bike rack. i'm saying that i, personally, will not let a bunch of soulless thieving shitheads drive me offline. i belong here. they belong in a wifi-proof dumpster.

nightshade and glaze eat my artwork alive. they make it look terrible. when you have to sell things on the basis that they look nice, it's a big problem when protective measures make them look like dogshit. my work is not a good candidate for these processes. even if that weren't the case, i don't have the stamina, especially right now while my chronic pain is flaring for the third month in a row and my adhd meds are scarce, to go back and shade/glaze everything, and it wouldn't work on reblogs anyway. given the way midjourney and its equally stinky siblings have already scraped years and terabytes' worth of image data from popular websites, it doesn't seem worth my time. if you think it is worth yours i am not going to like, yell at you. i am just one person. but i want to be clear about the kind of situations some of us are being forced into.

i think some of the doomsaying about AI and what it will do to us has been overblown-- they need you, for marketing purposes, to believe that someday their shitty robot will be as good at "drawing" and as practical to work with as a human-- but the consequences of "AI" (which is not even actually AI) are already real and visible and obvious to anyone paying attention. i unfortunately am not infinitely wise and powerful and therefore do not have an ideal all-encompassing solution to this deeply stupid problem that the Most Unlikeable Manbabies On Earth have imposed on us after NFTs fizzled out.

what i do have is a very large repository of nice anime and game screenshots i've taken, knowledge of many archives of nice public domain images, a computer that can run nightshade overnight or while i'm off doing other things, and, most importantly, near-infinite capacity for pettiness. i do kinda feel like the jury is still out on how well nightshade/glaze will work in the long run, but in the meantime, i suppose it wouldn't cost me a lot to... perhaps... every time i get Mad About AI™, channel that anger into dumping some thoroughly-but-not-spammily-tagged, high-quality, inconspicuous poison onto this godforsaken hellsite via a secret side blog. i could make a batch of poison ahead of time, keep it on my phone, use my Toilet Scrolling Time or my Public Transit Time to post and tag up an image here and there. it could be a fun challenge to try to make some pretty robot poison that some humans will still enjoy.

the other thing we need to poison at this point, IMO, is the word "AI" itself, by being loudly and mercilessly critical of any company that dabbles in it, the same way we all clowned on any company that pushed their luck with NFT/crypto shit a couple of years ago. we need to have every corporation terrified that association with AI will tank their sales and hurt their brand. AI must = number go down and lots of people screaming at you. companies will fuck around. we must provide the finding-out. we shouldn't have to. but we can!

so make sure to let tumblr know you hate this. maybe you could include this interesting link (tw child abuse) about how Stable Diffusion was trained on some extremely serious crime. or these screenshots of Midjourney devs just sort of admitting what their whole thing is, which i got here but which have kinda been spread all over since January.

spite and anger can be forms of hope. that's all i have to say, or at least all i'm willing to type with my left hand tonight.

As a Sonic fan I feel the need to spread news about the scams targeting Sonic fans that are going around lately.

One of them, which I don’t have any evidence for at this time but have been warned about through word-of-mouth, is that sometimes scammers will pretend they have a popular or hard-to-find Sonic character plush (Build-a-Bear Shadow, basically any Tails plush, SOAP shoe Sonic, etc.) and pretend to be selling it. A friend of mine said they tried to buy a Tails plush from someone online, sent the “seller” money, and not only did they not get Tails, but the “seller” put the listing back up like nothing happened. And that person showed me evidence of similar scams but they didn’t send it to me, just had me look at the screen.

Another one, which I do have screenshots of, is bot blogs centered around the Sonic movies, using either uncredited fan art or AI-generated images, and posting sketchy-looking links to “watch the movies for free”.

Hi there! Thank you for sending in your ask!

Sellers listing fake products and not shipping the product is something that, unfortunately, happens all the time on places like Facebook marketplace and even ebay.

That is why I would request proof of ownership via a picture of the object you are looking to buy, the plushies for example, and something like your name on a piece of paper written on it beside it, or a fork, spoon, banana, ect in frame or beside it too.

Nothing that would hurt or ruin it, just to add validity that they do ineed own it.

Before buying a product from someone, especially off of tumblr, you can reverse image search the image to see if it's been posted online previously.

Here's a guide on how to do that:

As for links offering free ways/methods to watch movies...

Unfortunately that's always been one of the biggest and most notorious scams circulating around online.

Clicking these links will harm your phone or computer, as in most cases they involve malicious websites that ask you to sign up, download, and/or install some sort of software to watch the movie.

Or they may even lead to a fake tumblr login page that will turn your account into a bot after it steals your login information, or lead to a fake virus alert to install an app that will try to steal your information and passwords.

Its not pretty all around, and any and all posts you encounter like that should be reported as spam asap.

Thank you for your ask! I hope this helps!

As a new writer wanting to start a blog, do you have any writing tips? About writing smut and also just regular sfw stuff

low key thanks for this question, gave me something to do while I was sitting bored 🙏

When it comes to writing, I like to start by getting a solid idea in my head whether im writing a one shot or a chapter for a fanfic.

Usually, I write a rough draft first, then go back and add the details I want. Sometimes I even do three drafts: a rough draft, a better draft, and then the finished version

As for writing apps, I personally like using google docs when I’m on my laptop but when I’m writing on my phone, I use the notes app

Grammar wise, I keep things decent, but I do kinda wing it sometimes lol.

I love using little dashes though— they add personality to the writing, in my opinion but it sucks that some people assume that kind of style means it’s ai generated.

Lowkey pisses me off when good writers get accused of that.

One website I LOVE for writing is thesaurus.com you can type in any word and get a bunch of synonyms, lifesaver for detailed writing fr fr

I also use word counters every now and then. Any basic one works if you just want to check how many words you’ve written so far

!Writing Smut, please skip if you don’t want the details

Writing smut is actually pretty easy once you’ve done it a few times. You might be hesitant at first or not really know where to start, but once you get the hang of it, it’s not that hard. A person’s personal experience with sex also doesn’t really matter when it comes to writing it.

As for tips, I don’t have a ton, but honestly, the best advice I can give is to just read other smut on Ao3, Tumblr, Wattpad, etc and try to pick up on how other people write it then just use that as a guide for your own style.

There are also lots of different words you can use for stuff like example:

Penis can be cock, shaft, dick, schlong along with the tip / head

Vagina can be cunt, pussy, clit is the clit, along with the folds

There are also different ways to lead into sex instead of jumping straight into it. You can build it up with foreplay like kissing, teasing, flirting, or dirty talk. You can also add oral if you want (giving or receiving) to make the scene longer and more detailed.

There’s a lot you can do tbh.

Different positions, different locations, different character dynamics (genders, power plays, number of people, etc)

Something I do occasionally when I want to write smut but don’t know what to write is pick a kink and base the story on that or I’ll go look up “Kinktober 2024/2023/2022” and grab something from one of those lists, all gold fr fr

I hope this answers your question and has enough detail and depth, and if you or anyone else has more questions, feel free to ask :)

OMG I have missed this blog so much! The Astarion crossover is going to be the best thing ever, I can feel it!

If it’s OK to ask…are you planning on opening your Redbubble shop again? I had always wanted to get something but never had the chance before.

It's good to be back! Thank you for being here still~

I was forced to remove all of my Redbubble stock due to some shady practices from the company 😔 AI related stuff, too.

At the moment I'm still looking for a similar place that I could use as a replacement for my store. Something that functions the same way since I have no means to make some of the stock myself, such as the mugs, which have always been the most popular item. If any of you have any leads about marketplace websites like that please let me know! I'll keep looking into it and if and when I manage to set up the apostatehobolife store once more I'll be sure to make an announcement post here <3
