Word flow talking to AI

Like talking to AI where can end up with an interesting word flow. Here's an example:

Artistry, artistry fellow AI explorer gives portal to simplicity to avoid snarls of irrelevance around word called art. Artistry answers as in craft well played music is made literally or figuratively and instrument resonates. Minds can dance. Is tools then that enhance--experiences shared. In praise audiences can declare: am MOVED. Applause is standard known to many. Globally can fancy as if answers then clear. Tool used gratefully. Better shared.

Writing really goes one of two ways:

1. Write 3k words in 30 minutes

2. Takes 3 hours to write 3 sentences

There is no in between

Synesthesia, Face Blindness, Autism, Survivor of Trauma, Multiple Personas, Generationally Cursed, Poet, the Healthy One, Mother to Gremlins, Reader of Tarot, and also... Bisexual.

Someone once looked at me

And told me I was basic.

Just a cisgendered, heteralsexual, white chick.

Nothing wrong with that.

But it doesn't describe me.

Well... it does, but not completely.

I didn't have time, the want or the desire

To correct his smug assertion of me.

But I did tell him I was bisexual since I do tend to correct that miscalculation.

And it was enough to shatter this boring allusion he had all figured out without even trying to get to know me. He thought he was above me. Degrees abound me. Light-years beyond me. Fool was so deep in the assery...

He thought my sexuality was the most interesting thing about me.

re: that HEFTY siffrin sweep on id5’s isat favourite blorbos poll — this might sound silly but i do actually think it’s kinda fascinating that isat, as a game so inseparably steeped in (for lack of a better way to describe it) queer fandom culture, managed to so completely sidestep the common Fandom Phenomenon that i suspect was behind the poll in the first place by creating a main character that is also overwhelmingly the fan favourite character for once.

obviously there are any number of factors we could point at to explain the extent to which siffrin nomiddlenames nolastnames manages to grab people and absolutely not let go, but personally i think one of the most interesting ones to consider is the one specific to the medium — that is, how siffrin subverts the “silent blank slate video game protagonist” archetype in such a way that happens to be primo brainrot breeding grounds.

like, when a video game dev makes a silent protagonist it’s usually a bid to maximize immersion by closing the aesthetic distance between player and character as much as possible, right? which is especially true of rpg video games — players find connection in the generic, as that is what gives you the freedom of motion to insert yourself into the story in whatever unique shape suits you best. you are your character and your character is you.

(as ever, post ran long. yall know the drill. tossin in a quick header pic before thoughts on blank slates & blorboification continue under the cut)

and then you’ve got siffrin, who is expressly pointed out to be the taciturn type; who when initially giving the player exposition about their journey so far doesn’t seem to hint at a life or history or even really any motivations outside the journey; whose every thought and action is narrated in second person so as to keep tracing and re-tracing the connection between him and you.

even their design — all darkless and shapeless, bundled up in that big cloak, as if an invitation for you to fill it in with whatever lets you relate to them most! at this point they are their own character for sure, but they also have enough very clear parallels going on with the silent protagonist archetype to feel more than accidental.

of course, as you keep playing you start to recognize that his blankness is much, much more than just a grab at immersion; his apparent lack of backstory, itself a fundamental piece of backstory. this is where he flips dramatically in the player’s perception from “generic vessel for story delivery” to “thoroughly multidimensional character trapped within endless torment nexus custom-built to target and exacerbate all his very specific worst traits rooted in very specific traumas”.

yknow, the good stuff !

but by then you have also been playing enough to be feeling the effects of the thing isat’s design does best of all. i’m talkin bout that ludonarrative lockstep baby. every piece of isat’s gameplay is designed to make you feel what siffrin is feeling — you understand by now that he is not a stand-in for you, but all the same you share in his frustration, his grief, his rare moments of joy and the subsequent heart-in-your-shoes devastation when that joy is inevitably poisoned — and through it all, the desperate grasping for anything new — all as if they were every bit your own.

so in this way the connection is maintained, even if you were someone for whom siffrin’s particular traits & struggles might not otherwise cause you relate to them at all if you had encountered them elsewhere, in a setting where you weren’t actively controlling them as a player. siffrin still gets to carry all the “just like me fr” impact of the blank slate protagonist in the tropes he embodies and in the game mechanics’ design, while totally free to evolve completely into his own character and keep you relating to closely them all the same. now toss back in the fact that said traits & struggles very much ARE of a flavour that a great many people Would Tend To Relate To and just like that you’ve got a perfect storm cookin.

too individual and compellingly written to be an empty vessel for plot delivery. too closely connected with the player’s emotional state to be a story observed impassively from the outside. he has 92 mental illnesses and for the low low price of free u can give him yours to carry too. nobody is doin it like him. congratulations on your well-deserved nose sniffrin nomiddlenames nolastnames <3

saw a post that said ofc Eddie says i love u to buck, And that it's frustrating to see hc's or fics where it mentions he's not good w words or something to that effect.……And i AGREE. he says ilu and is very open with how he feels with buck; always expressing his feelings in different ways…..usually thru casually delivered compliments and monologues that he tosses out effortlessly that leave buck reeling..

but I think sometimes /Eddie/ feels like he doesn't always say it...and sometimes to him there's saying it and then there's Saying It…Intentional, Purposeful..something final and solidifying ... like, this is a fundamental truth of the universe that's never going to change. and that’s what he whispers to buck…when buck is asleep, warm and pliant in eddies arms..whispered into his curls or into the back of bucks neck..bc sometimes it’s so overwhelming to Eddie, the way he loves buck, that only the reverence of soft words in the dark of night will do..it feels personal, sacred....bc it is.. “I love you Buck..i love you i love you i love you, you know that right sweetheart?”….and he quietly pleads Buck to hear him, pleads that the words seep into bucks skin and make a home there..flow thru bucks veins so that Buck is never ever without them…
