15 questions, 15 mutuals

Tagged by: @thewolvesof1998

1. Are you named after anyone?

Not to my knowledge, no. My parents purposefully selected unique names to us and I don't have a middle name. (I love my dad's though, whose middle name is Cyriak, for his grandfather and that name just SPEAKS to me)

2. When was the last time you cried?

About uh... An hour ago. Cause I'm sick like a dog rn now with a cold and a colleague at work thought it was a good time to start shit. That man is a bike human being who likes to play power games and I'd just had it in that moment. I took a walk, calmed down and am on my way home to bed now, it's a "he"-problem, it's all good.

3. Do you have kids?

Nope, not on the agenda and happy that way.

4. What sports do you play/have you played?

I ran track for a hot second until my knees said "uh, yeah we don't like that". Ballet as a child, Irish Dance for a bit as a teenager, as well as show dance for carnival. Also went to the shooting range for a bit (not the American way). Yoga these days and walking in the woods.

5. Do you use sarcasm?

Whatever gave you the idea?

Yes, sarcasm is awesome and essential.

6. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Uhhh,... I decline to answer on the grounds that it might incriminate me.

7. What’s your eye color?

Green/Grey, with a dash of brown in the middle.

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Scary movies with Happy endings. Why lock myself down to one or the other, I'm a sucker for hurt/comfort.

9. Any talents?

I consider singing a talent. I've worked hard on my technique, the way I'm able to listen to a piece of music and sing along within one or two run throughs is definitely a gift.

10. Where were you born?

A small town not quite inside the Black Forest.

11. What are your hobbies?

Reading, writing, art making, composing meta essays about my obsession du jour at length that I never share. Singing and musical theatre.

12. Do you have any pets?

I consider our family dog my pet even though she lives with my parents and I don't anymore, because I raised her from when she was born (just like her mom and her mom before that).

I have a clan of door mice living in the ceiling above my bedroom, I'm not sure that qualifies, but I do talk to them when they're especially rowdy at night, telling them to keep it down.

13. How tall are you?

172cm

14. Favorite subject in school?

History. Which I ended up studying among other things.

15. Dream job?

Ooof... Writer, if someone agreed to pay me without ever expecting to publish anything.

Not telling y'all that you should be able to identify AI slop (but it is a valuable skill, you totes should), but if you're to be accusing artists of being AI left and right at least go and do your homework, or at least do the bare minimum and use AI identification tools like Hive Moderation, so you 1- don't ruin someone's lifehood 2- don't make a clown out of yourself maybe

Like, i get it, AI slop and "AI artists" pretending to be genuine is getting harder and harder to identify, but just accusing someone out of the blue and calling it a day doesn't make it any better.

The AI clowns shifted to styles that have less "tells" and the AI arts are becoming better. Yeah, it sucks ass.

They're also integrating them with memes, so you chuckle and share, like those knights with pink backgrounds, some cool frog and a funny one liner, so you get used to their aesthetic.

This is an art from the new coming set Final Fantasy for MtG. This is someone on Reddit accusing someone of using AI. From what i can tell, and i fucking hate AI, there is NO AI used on this image.

As far as i can tell and as far as any tool i've used, the Artist didn't use AI. which leads to the next one:

they accused the artist of this one of using Ai. the name of this artist is Nestor Ossandon.

He as already been FALSELY ACCUSED of using AI, because he drew a HAND THAT LOOKED A LITTLE WEIRD, which caused a statement from D&D Beyond, confirming that no AI has been used.

Not to repeat mysef, they're accusing the art above, that is by Nestor, to have used Ai.

REAL artists are not machines. And just like the AI slop, we are not perfect and we make mistakes. The hands we draw have wonky fingers sometimes. The folds we draw are weird. But we are REAL. We are real people. And hey, some of our "mistakes" sometimes are CHOICES. Artistic choices are a thing yo.

If you're to accuse someone of using Ai, i know it's getting hard to identify. But come on. At least do your due diligence.

What if Shen Yuan gets a petty princess boyfriend because the universe (I) said so.

-wrote a little ficlet about them under the cut ✨-

Shen Yuan's (very confused) POV:

You know, there are days you wake up and think, “Wow, life is weird.” And then there are days you wake up and there's a beautiful, irritated, probably-came-from-a-period-drama man sitting on your couch like he owns the place, glaring at your toaster like it personally offended his ancestors.

Yeah. I’m talking about that kind of day.

It started, as these things always do, with a thunderclap, some suspiciously glittery mist, and the next thing I knew, there was a very angry, very elegant man standing in the middle of my studio apartment. He looked around my humble little man-cave—okay, fine, it was a bit of a pig sty. I wasn't expecting visitors—and sneered so hard I thought his face would stay that way forever.

“This is your abode?” he asked, with the same tone I use when I accidentally step in dog poop.

“Uh,” I said intelligibly. “Yes…?”

He hissed. Hissed. Like a very angry, very pretty feral cat. It was alarming. And a little hot? No, stop that, Shen Yuan. Bad. No petting the murder kitty.

So. A quick summary: the stranger introduced himself—begrudgingly—as Shen Jiu.

A handsome stranger.

And he was in my house.

Living in my apartment.

Breathing my air.

Criticizing my instant ramen choices like he wasn’t literally eating all of them.

“You eat like a beggar,” he said yesterday, sipping tea he made himself after complaining my kettle was ‘barbaric’. “This isn't sustenance. It's punishment.”

Okay. One: accurate. Two: rude.

But we fell into a rhythm after a few weeks, somehow. Like a weird little odd-couple sitcom. Every morning, I’d wake up to Shen Jiu curled in a pile of throw blankets on my futon, looking like a disgruntled Persian cat. He hated the TV but would still watch it with a kind of horrified fascination. He especially hated anime. That was… a problem.

The turning point came when he caught me watching some over the top shonen anime and heard me make a passing comment about the protagonist’s abs.

“You like that?” he asked, voice tight. “You like him?”

“What? No, I—” I laughed, awkward. “It’s just anime—”

He made a sound like someone dropped a piano on his pride and turned off the laptop with a single disdainful poke of a button.

“You’re not allowed to look at other men,” he said, eyes narrowed.

“…What?”

“You heard me,” he said, as if that explained anything and then settled on my lap.

Then he stole my glasses.

He literally plucked them off my face like a bully on the schoolyard and perched them on his own perfectly arched nose.

I stared. Squinted, really. “I’m legally blind.”

“Good,” he snapped. “Then you can’t ogle those fake men anymore. Who draws them like that anyway? It’s obscene.”

“Jiu-ge,” I said gently. “Um… Can I have my glasses back please?”

“For what? To look at other men? I don’t think so.”

Never—and I mean never—has anyone been so furiously jealous of fictional anime boys that they physically robbed me of my glasses. It was almost impressive.

And I let him keep them.

Why? Because the alternative was him going back into Feral Mode™ where he hisses and threatens to set my bookshelf on fire with qi that I still don’t believe exists in this universe.

Besides… I didn’t mind the glasses thing so much when he was situated on my lap like I was his personal throne.

“You’re warm,” he said, nonchalant, like this was normal. Like he didn't came from a completely different reality.

“Cool,” I wheezed, not cool at all.

“You’re flustered,” he added, smug.

I was. But I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of admitting it. Instead, I tried to focus on the dead screen of my laptop, even if everything was blurry.

So now I’m trapped in a never-ending loop of being lowkey bullied by a man with cheekbones sharp enough to commit murder, who eats all my ramen, hoards my glasses, gets jealous of anime characters, and has absolutely no concept of personal space.

And you know what the worst part is?

I think I might like it.

Please send help.

…Or not.

Please stop sticking things inside your body cavities that are not meant to be there, please, im begging you all. Please stop. I'm not fishing anything out, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not. Yall I can't do that. My hands are a size that is not great to remove things from an orifice, okay? It's going to be really awkward for everyone involved. I need you all to stop

Totally has nothing to do with what's going on at work

Nothing at all

I'm literally begging everyone to spread this. Nobody should be sticking anything in an orifice, okay? Nothing except for what is meant to go there and is clean. I am begging you all

I'm tired

Obsessed with the sudden shift in Cas' willingness to say insane romantic shit to dean in season 8. A couple of seasons ago, he would tell dean that they had a profound bond to his face. That everything he did, he did for Dean. Now? He's hesitating. He clenches his fists to avoid hugging Dean back in purgatory. He stutters and looks away before saying he stayed away from Dean to protect him. When asked what broke through heaven's brainwashing, he looks away and says he doesn't know. It's so interesting to me

something bad might have happened and I’m really freaked out right now.

[sachermorte]

the way they sometimes introduce fish to lakes cracks me the fuck up because they literally will just drop a bunch of them out of an airplane

imagine that happening in the warrior cats universe. dudeheart, respected warrior of riverclan is trying to chill and enjoy the five minutes of peace he has today. his new apprentice is a dipshit. the deputy is on his ass. thunderclan is up to something weird. he just wants five minutes. five goddamned minutes to himself to sit and organize his thoughts.

and then a giant metal bird screams by and dumps a fuckton of fish into the lake

what do you even say after that. what do you even do. it never fucking ends for dudeheart. it's always fucking something
