Allow me to explain. I’ve found that ao3 is a good indicator about how long a fandom will last or how ‘healthy’ it is at any given time.

For example, hit rates on fics compared to how many fics are being created. If I see less new fics on ao3 but each one has good statistics for the amount of fics present then that’s a healthy fandom (Wicked, for example). But if I see a newer fandom with a lot of fics but poor statistics (KPDH) then it’s a fad fandom and will eventually die down and become niche to a smaller handful of people.

Is this something you all have noticed? Or is it just me.

We should pray for Catholic speaker Trent Horn’s family. His wife Laura has been diagnosed with brain cancer.

Of course!

Here is a prayer for her healing:

Mary, health of the sick, you brought forth into our world Jesus Christ, our Divine Healer. In your caring goodness, intercede for Laura, who is truly in need of miraculous assistance. If it be God’s will, I ask this day that the gift of healing from all forms of cancer be granted to Laura. Comfort her during times of anguish, pain, confusion and despair. Ask our gracious Savior to grant her physical health, inner peace and patience in suffering. May God’s healing graces grant Laura a life of happiness, health and fulfillment here on earth, and one day the joy of eternal glory in His loving embrace. Amen.

Ginny stalks through the Isle’s shadows, sticking close to the half-crumbling buildings: Though not so close as to dirty her cape, that wouldn’t do.

She wrinkles her nose and pulls the fabric close, losing sight of the girl she is stalking momentarily.

Claudine. Frollo’s daughter.

The baby her mother left at the judge’s steps, cos who needs a second baby?? Surely not Mother Gothel. One baby’s fucking enough. Proof to the other Villains that she can get laid, which, Ginny imagines, is the only reason her mother kept <i>her</i> in the first place.

Well, that and fresh source of virgin blood for rituals or whatever – joke’s on her in that regard.

Ginny sneers and slips after Frollo’s daughter, another alley closer to the chapel.

Much too close for a witch's daughter to wander, normally, but curiosity killed the cat, and Anthony always tells her she's basically a cat anyway.

…She is moderately sure she is justing the saying wrong, but ask her if she's got a fuck to give. Yolo, motherfuckers.

(Just maybe don't tell Anthony. And Harriet.)

Yes. Do it

I should write an essay on the evolution of the Disney Prince, just not here. I may post it on my Substack. We'll see, we'll see.

Hi, could you pray for me? I mistakenly killed 9 chicks because I was cleaning their nursery and placed them in a box , not noticing they were stifling and felt guilty and stupid. Also pray for Winford Williams? He’s a popular Jamaican journalist and he’s been in an car accident this morning. At this moment, we don’t know his condition.

Of course 🖤

Another reason to ignore negative comments (especially on AO3)

So at work I’ve been forced to learn about “AI Agentic Workflows”. But being an AO3 author, I couldn’t help but think of how this technology affects authors on AO3 (and honestly on other social media platforms too).

What I learned was this: Agentic AI workflow software makes it extremely easy to automate, and bulk-post, HIGHLY-STORY-SPECIFIC negative comments to AO3 fics.

If you’re not familiar with what an AI Agentic Workflow is, I highly recommend informing yourself. You’ll be hearing it a LOT very soon. Basically, it’s a linked linked chain of AI prompts on one/many software platforms. Each “agent” completes a task. Then it hands off the completed task to the next AI Agent in the chain, which builds on it. Then that result is handed off to another agent, etc etc, even potentially to a final agent which analyzes what worked well and what didn’t, and changes what the other agents do.

There are a ton of repercussions here.

But let’s stay focused on AO3.

With AI Agentic workflow software, a person/group who wants to silence the voice of a community can easily scrape a tag, analyze stories by the thousands, then post thousands of highly customized, story specific negative comments, all without a human being ever seeing your words.

They could even set up AI agents watching to see if you delete your story, or delete your profile, which would be a marker of success. That success marker could be shared back to the other AI agents, and the whole workflow could be changed via automation to use that more effective approach.

I’m sure the OTF is working on ways of stopping this. I’m sure most social media companies are too.

But as usual the tools to create havoc are ahead of the ones to prevent havoc.

Anyway.

TL;DR: If you get a highly-story-specific negative AO3 comment — it does NOT MEAN it was written by a HUMAN! You were probably just story 20,031 in a scraped database of 50,000 stories, all of which were being targeted because they belong to a group/topic/tag that some shitty group or agency wanted to silence because of their horrible political or social.

Don’t let them silence you. They never looked at your words to begin with.

So while searching for another old descendants game that used to be on Disney's website I found another game that was simply tittled: Mal vs Uma

Out of curiosity I clicked on it and it's basically a platform game where you play through the events of the second movie as either Mal or Uma

However some interesting details are revealed when you pick Uma's side of the story

Namely what happened after Mal and crew got away and the events leading up to Cotillion

Now even if this game was licensed by Disney I don't think we have to see it all as canon since some details are off but there's still some fun stuff happening.

Gil was the one who found Mal's spellbook and gave it to Uma, afterwhich she sent both him and Harry out to gather the ingredients for

Gil uses the insult "dweebs"

Uma at first calls Gil a genius for finding the spellbook but then backtracks saying that may be a bit too far

Uma arrived in Auradon and was confronted by Ben but he didn't want to send the guards after her, she manipulated him into thinking she had been thinking about his offer and gave him a portion of Fish and chips laced with love potion as a peace offering
