FUCK AI
a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted
their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"
"Every writer"?

I want to make a big character analysis post about garroth because not only do fans who hate him mischaracize him, the show itself does as well. Garroths betrayal during the end of season 1 AT ITS CORE is out of character and it was that out of character action that led us to the almost more egregious on of his blow up at aphmau at the end of season 2. Something even jess herself says she regrets because garroth wouldnt do that. And then in rebirth they make him significantly more angry and that's just NOT garroth romeave okay that's not him.

One thing I cannot stand is whenever people act like Laurance is significantly better morality wise then Garroth (even before the sk transformation) or vise versa.
Many of the icky things they do are quite comparable despite their heavy personality and flaw differences.
I don't think it's a problem not to include stuff like their entitlement over Aphmau in your rewrite and headcanons, it's fiction and we don't always want to think about real life stuff like misogyny. Especially when they're more then that and they have so much flaws outside of that.
But idk, it ircks me when people continuesly give one of them the benefit of the doubt where they don't give the other. It's frankly hypocritical.
Ofcourse you can be a Garroth fan and criticise Laurance, or vise versa. But I personally just cannot stand it when people act like one of them is objectively much better then the other.

Not to be that friend that too woke, but is anyone else annoyed at how mcd aphmaus whole thing was taking in the strays, being a mother to children with no home despite not sharing blood. Only for Alina to come along as aphs biological child, and suddenly she's the most specialist, most important kid of all of aphmaus children?

okay i know its sort of cursed but i'm haunted by the idea where aphblr makes an MCD re-write on ao3 but every new chapter has a different author and you just have to roll with whatever the previous person wrote, like the ultimate exquisite corpse story.
it would be like a NIGHTMARE to edit but I can't say the idea doesn't compel me

Writing Notes: Active & Passive Voice
Tumblr media
The action expressed by a clause can often be viewed in either of two ways:
The dog chased the cat.
The cat was chased by the dog.
The above contrast is referred to as voice.
The first type of construction is known as the active voice.
The second, which is far less common, is the passive voice.
Most verbs which take an object (transitive verbs) can appear in both active and passive constructions:
kick, jump, eat, break, etc.
There are just a few exceptions, such as resemble and most uses of have: "I had a car" does not transform into "A car was had by me."
The passive is infrequent in speech.
In writing, it is more common in informative than in imaginative prose, especially in contexts which demand an objective, impersonal style, such as scientific and official publications.
When it is overused, it tends to attract criticism, especially from those campaigning for clearer forms of English in official documents, and many writers have been influenced by their arguments.
But passives cannot be dispensed with entirely:
They give writers the option of an impersonal style, which can be very useful in contexts where it is irrelevant to state who actually carried out an action.
That elements X and Y were mixed to form compound Z is usually the important point, not that it was me, Mary, John, or Dr Smith who did the mixing.
How to Form Passives from Actives
Move the subject of the active verb to the end of the clause, making it the passive agent. Add "by".
Move the object of the active verb to the front of the clause, making it the passive subject.
Replace the active verb phrase by a passive one – usually a form of the auxiliary verb "be" followed by the -ed participle.

imagine you’re a tiny thing. your mama is big and strong so you follow her everywhere. she’s very strong, which is why when she falls asleep on the floor you sit with her. you sit with her until she starts to fall apart. but its ok because she’s strong. and then you get really, really, really thirsty, and you think if you sleep it’ll be okay. and then you wake up surrounded by water and you see a face beyond the water and its blurry and you dont know how to feel about it so you go back to sleep and then you keep seeing the face beyond the water and they talk to you in soft words you dont understand and you’re still so small and confused but you know the face beyond the water is helping you. maybe it loves you. but you’re a tiny thing. and then one day you decide you’ve had enough water, and then you start to move. and you see the face beyond the water, who is so happy to see you and they do something you’ve never seen a face do, their mouth curls at the end in a smile and youve never seen it so you do it too and you keep doing it because you love the face beyond the water so much and they love you too and they’re strong like mama and they feed you and pet you and love you and one day you grow so big they can ride you. and they make you a hat and goggles to protect your eyes and they show you all sorts of wonderful things and YES this is about the happy ghast from minecraft im OBSESSED

Minecraft Wiki is independent again!!
Tumblr media
Yahoo!!! No more FANDOM wiki!!! Find the new minecraft wiki at minecraft.wiki!!
I thought it would be good to make a little PSA post with summarised information on why they moved from FANDOM!
Why did they move?
FANDOM is notoriously a bad wiki for both readers and editors alike. This is due to the insane amount of ads, the site layout, the lag, the fact that FANDOM can just take your wiki from you, etc has made the minecraft wiki decide to move
Because of the lack of agency the minecraft wiki has over its own wiki, they had a long discussion and vote with the community on what wiki platform to move towards. You can view both discussions here and here
By moving to a more independent wiki, they can provide a much better and friendlier service.
What's improved with the new wiki?
New site look, lacking the ugly FANDOM yellow sidebar and removing all other unnecessary bloat! This also includes a dark mode option and other custom settings.
Faster load times! I have incredibly good internet, and even I notice the STARK difference between the load times of FANDOM and the official wiki!
Less ads! At the moment they have no ads, but they do intend to have at least one. The placement of which will be discussed with the community to ensure minimal disruption to the user.
Better search functionality! FANDOM's search is notoriously bad at giving you the answers you need. Now they can have a more robust search function that more accurately brings users to what they are looking for.
No age popups- Unlike FANDOM this wiki does not need to know if you're a child or adult.
Anonymous editing has returned! Users can now once again anonymously contribute to the site!
HOWEVER. THE MINECRAFT WIKI NEEDS YOUR HELP!
FANDOM refuses to close old wiki's that have moved away, and so they will continue to show up in search domains. The old domains such as minecraft.gamepedia.com and minecraftwiki.net are also permanently attached to the FANDOM wiki.
In order to help the new wiki be successful, you can help out in the following way:
Spread the word!
Don't interact with FANDOM links. The less people interact with FANDOM, the more google knows that people are looking for the official wiki and not the FANDOM one!
Dont use the old links, again for the same reason as above!
And of course, improve the wiki :D! Since you don't need an account to make edits, see what you can contribute!

List of describing exercises to help you improve your descriptions.
As I try to improve my technical writing skills, I've noticed my describing skills are pretty lacking. So, here is a list of description exercises.
Setting Description
Pick a setting and describe it in a way that evokes a positive emotion, then describe the same setting negatively.
Pick a setting and try to describe it by using all of your senses.
Find a setting you've written before and write 500 words of pure description on it.
Describe a tree from the point of view of a character that's feeling a strong emotion, whether they're depressed, frustrated, or excited.
Character Description
Pick one of your characters and write a 500 word description of them.
Write a 500 word description on how your character feels about different people.
Pick 3 different characters and write 200 word descriptions for each of their voices.
Write a 500 word description about how your character looks at different people.
