Sometimes you have to write fanfics of your own DnD campaign because no one else knows anything about the characters or the plot but damn there was a lot of unexplored potential and also what if it was a coffee shop au?

Being told to stop using em dashes in my writing because ChatGPT uses them a lot and people might think it's written by AI...

If ANY of yall EVER do this shit to me, im deleting every single fic out of spite.

If I ever catch one of yall doing this to another author and I know youre a follower of my work I will block you personally on every platform

None of yall are the fic police. I DESPISE genai. I think its an insult to art, humanity, and the planet itself. But aint not a single fucking person here qualified to pick apart a strangers fic looking for a gotcha moment to make yourselves feel superior. If you think something is ai you can ask the author (most are proud of the ai use and will just tell you straight up) if they say yes you have your answer and can warn people. If they say no and you dont believe them you block and quietly keep it between you and maybe a close group of friends. Spreading misinformation is DANGEROUS. And NONE of you doing this shit are anywhere near qualified to do it.

THIS GOES DOUBLY FOR ARTISTS.

Stuff started to catch up to me in high school. I had always pretty much been a straight-A student and my “gifted kid” ability to learn in the way that schools wanted me to were only highlighted by the fact that my older brother had always struggled with school (my mom has confessed to me recently that she thought that he might have a learning disorder but that no one would listen to her when she brought up the potential for that and since that was her first kid she didn’t know what to do about it). But then my grades started slipping. Instead of straight-As I was getting more Bs and even a C here and there. Now, I know these aren’t bad at all (something I have had to come to terms with), but they were bad for ME and it wasn’t necessarily a result of me suddenly not understanding the material. In addition to being a “gifted kid” I also have pretty bad, treatment resistant, chronic anxiety and depression. Putting all those together in combination with teenage hormones means I was experiencing some pretty bad gifted-kid burnout. I recognized this (even if I didn’t know exactly what was wrong I knew something was) and did some research. I had started going to therapy in jr high for my anxiety but dropped that therapist when it turned out she was only making my anxiety worse— the point is I already knew my head was a little fucked up. So in my research I found out about 504 plans. Now if you don’t know what that is, it’s a thing put in place to help people with mental disorders get accomadations in school. I’m sure someone on here can give a better explanation of it if you want to know more, or you can try googling it yourself. Anywhomst, I brought this to my mom and we set up a meeting with my school. That meeting didn’t go well. Essentially, the school said that they weren’t going to give me a 504 plan because my grades were already good so clearly I didn’t need one. It wasn’t until much later that I learned that that’s not something they were allowed to do. You can’t be denied a 504 plan based on grades. Anyways, that year I got the worst grades of my life. I actually did fail a few classes and my depression was in the dumps. Almost a decade later and I’m only just recovering from that burnout and I hope to be finishing my undergrad this next year. I plan on giving myself a little more time after that to not be in school before diving into my PhD.

In a recent trip home from college to visit my family, I was talking with my mom about my youngest brother and whether or not he was getting accommodations for his ADHD now that he was starting high school. She told me that now all my siblings got accommodations in school and apologized for not fighting harder for me to get accommodations when that initial meeting went so poorly. I don’t blame my parents for not getting me the help that I needed, because I know that they tried. They were new parents, I was their second kid, and I was and am so incredibly different from my older brother that it was almost like they were starting over entirely with me. My parents didn’t know what they were doing and they were fought every step of the way when they were trying to get me help because I was a “gifted kid” and clearly didn’t need it. My parents have 6 kids in total. Their youngest is starting high school this upcoming fall. It’s an unfortunate fact of life that as an oldest kid I had to experience a lot of my parents’ fuck ups in order for my younger siblings to get the help they need. I’m lucky in that my parents were able to look past the “gifted kid” to see the struggling kid even though the school wasn’t willing to; I know that not every “gifted kid” gets parental support— I’m pretty sure a factor of ME getting that support is that I’m like 99% sure my mom was ALSO a “gifted kid” growing up.

people misunderstand what ‘gifted kid’ actually means but it’s ok it’s fine it’s cool it’s good

there’s this extremely kind soul of a woman on instagram that makes accessible recipes that don’t require standing, chopping, or a stove and she might just have a permanent place in my heart

"I know chatgpt is bad but you just don't really have any choice" you literally do. Don't use it. Have some moral backbone.
