#The AI makes sense too

[lionwoman]

Reminder for those who thing SV’s plot looks weird on Scarlet

Professor Sada is not a cavewoman. She didn't just discovered fire. She's a brilliant scientist that is just obsessed with the past. She just dresses like that beause she's a fanatic but she's just as brilliant, techy and intelligent as Turo. She uses actual technology (Turo uses actual technology too) and such to bring back past Pokémon a la Jurassic Park. Why is that weird?

(And if go this way then) On the other side the lost world crater makes more sense with past Pokémon if we take into account the Scarlet book since it kinda could have worked in a similar way as the The Lost World book but that's another issue that has not been resolved in the games yet.

HEY

NO SELF DEPRECATION ABOUT YOUR ART SKILLS IN THIS HOUSE

That viral post that's going around about how people who write "book quality" mlm fic are too "normal" to publish and have real jobs so only "weird" people publish their "shitty" fanfic is so completely out of touch with reality and I am giving a massive side eye to everyone reblogging it.

Not only is it completely, easily verifiably untrue (you cannot enter any professional writing space without tripping over a dozen grizzled scifi writers who got their start by filing off the serial numbers and publishing their Star Trek fanfic even going back decades ago??? it's a whole thing?? plus how can you look at the mlm category on Amazon right now and say with a straight face that people aren't publishing shitty Spirk and Stucky fanfic??? Oh, honey...) it's also the perfect example of this kind of sneering elitism that true artists would never sully themselves by seeking profit, they do it only for the purity of the thing that always somehow leads back to, "no one should be paid to make art, actually."

The only reason you're seeing more published fanfic right now has nothing to do with the idealistic purity of your hypothetical government employee written smut of the past vs the debased scribbles of those awful straights of today and everything to do with the fact that a) self-publishing has created a voracious readership that wants a ton of content so it's become a viable, flexible income stream for many, especially disabled people b) anyone can publish now with self-publishing tools so there are less gatekeepers and c) lockdown got a lot of people into fandom and therefore writing who never tried it before.

And if you really think there's no "shitty" published mlm and no "book-quality" m/f writing out there that started as fanfic, then you are clearly not a reader so why are you even talking about this?

lies are love!

I've always thought it was interesting how she lied to love, not lie to be loved.

On Wednesday before I gave my presentation I confessed to a new employee that I was worried it would be too long and she brightly told me her life hack was to just let AI rewrite things for her. She said I should put in all my talking points and ask ChatGPT to give me a five minute exactly presentation. I was like....how is the most polite possible way (since this is a new colleague I shouldn't get off on the wrong foot with) that I can express that I will Not be taking this advice. Ever. I told her that I didn't think we were allowed to use ChatGPT at this job (we most certainly are not, it is a nightmare for any type of protected information) and also that I prefer to write all of my own work. Despite my best efforts the last part of that was still passive aggressive, lol.

Something about being a writer makes it so that it's almost offensive to me for someone to suggest I use AI to do my work instead? Like, the day I reach the point where I let AI write something for me is the day y'all need to be checking me for brain damage because clearly I'm losing it

i dont want to make a big deal out of hl2vrai not being hl2vrai since it is waynes channel and such and he can do whatever he wants on it but i do kinda wish there wasnt so much buildup to it with a half life themed trailer along with "hlvrai" tags.

You mentioned the deal w seeds in the plane au — what IS the deal w seeds in this au, if you don’t mind me asking?? 👀

bwah okay its not that much different from canon. they were still a deep space colonization fleet but in this au their mission was technically a success

seeds established an research outpost on no mans land to study the planet and test it for potential permanent habitation in the future. basically the fall doesnt happen. or at least not when and how it does in canon

vash and nai were born when seeds began constructing proper long term facilities on the surface

2 years later the research facilities have turned into small cities, terraforming projects kicked into gear and a decent human population was slowly being woken up from cold sleep. the colonization mission for this fleet was deemed a success

the twins were part of a project testing independent plant capabilities and the utility potential of reality bending (the ability to both power and control machines and expanding the storage capacity of small fast aircraft for transportation efficiency), later named project gemini in their honor. during that time the jets g-01 and g-02 and their prototype engines were constructed

at some point nai found detailed info on the project and noticed the discrepancy in their unit numbers, their engines being numbered 02 and 03 in the blueprints. more digging led to the discovery of tesla and her fate as an integrated part of the fleets onboard ai, knives went mad and began plotting the downfall of humanity. over a few weeks he secretly gained control over the local aircraft fleet and one of the production lines and launched an assault on the main ships in orbit

the one man war against seeds (and poor vash, who was caught in the crossfire, not wanting to fight either of them and trying to stop them from fighting each other) lasts a few decades and only ceases when nai shoots his brother out of the sky by accident

by then little was left of the original seeds project, losing the battle in the end. the sky and desert are a graveyard of ships and aircraft a century later. most of humanity doesnt remember the project or know what happened. a majority of the population abandoned seeds and fled the facilities to establish their own settlements during the war

and thats the deal with seeds! i think? did it explain anything? i got so caught up in writing this that i wrote down some of the early plot dhgfjhdfg

well apparently 伏魔御厨子 (fukuma mizushi or malevolent shrine) being translated as malevolent kitchen in the latest ep is not exactly a mistake bc 御厨子 (mizushi) is a very old, archaic word for kitchen or the emperor’s eating area so that's that

Really curious to know where in the heck people got this "Caine is an old man" thing from

[r0bita]

If you think about it, the final torture in ihnmaims actually kind of makes sense when you consider that AM is also a thing that has no mouth and wants to scream. It's meant to mirror itself.

One last "fuck you" to humanity was to make a human, the last human on earth, in the ai's image.

And they're both stuck like that for all eternity.

Thinking about my unfinished poe party guest swap au where lenore dresses in a gothic Victorian era dress and Poe is a sarcastic ghost..

I never finished the other swaps but it was something like this

Lenore < - > Poe

H.G < - > Anabelle

Oscar < - > Ernest

Charlotte < - > George

The Charlotte and George swap was mainly due to their pen names both being mentioned within Poe party at some point. But given their personalities it’s probably my favourite of the swaps I did make.

[doroinoue]

since the moment i finished the manga ive been like "dorohedoro is literally just undertale but with gore and nudity and swearing". so i had to crack some stupid art abt it

my ass is not making it in on time for valentine's so here

tl;dr it's barbiesmashing and legoclacking hours when my turtles and @the-kingpen 's turtles (nsfw work and blog, mind your fucking manners and pay attention to the tags) meet in a crossover AU (and the other 40+ AUs)

anyway, in time (way before) valentine's, I'm touching on our Buffy Musical arc from our first crossover AU where our bales ended up serenading/pitch perfect songfight each other

King's Raphie sings this

at my April, and she perished on the spot. Naturally, April has a song locked and loaded that I'm still drawing
