A few days later, Eleanor had fully healed from her sickness and was perched on a rooftop, waiting for Roy to arrive. She was across from the gangs front, watching the restaurant get closed for the night

(( @eleanor-wayne

He was as armed as his costume allowed, moving in the night across the cityscape to get to her. “Been waiting long?” he asked.

Well... I have some good news for you about a recent WIP...

What do you think (Movie) Mario and Luigi's last names are? I saw a headcanon the other day that it's Martinet, a reference to their OG VA.

I like that idea, except for the fact that Martinet is a French surname, not Italian.

Now, it is a long-running joke/theory that “Mario” is both Mario’s first and last name, since that was the canon of the 1993 live action Mario Movie. However, the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing website about the 2023 movie specifically stated that “Super Mario Bros.” is the company’s name because Luigi’s camera shy. So as of now their last names are a bit of mystery.

I do like “Marino” as a last name for the sake of alliteration, but if I had to make a choice right now at gunpoint I’d settle with “Martinet.” After all, just because Mario is Italian through and through doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a bit of French in him too.

I don't want to sound rude, you may have already answered this question (if so, I'm sorry, I didn't find that answer), but I'm wondering why you're so against AI bots specificly. Obviously, this is a personal matter for everyone, but I'm a little confused by such harshness. Of course, I'm not going to prove anything to anyone, but I just wanted to understand the roots of your position. I really like your work, but to be honest, your last answers have thrown me into a kind of stupor :(

i have an ideological opposition against AI as a whole to be fair. a lot of it comes down to it's environmental impact

Globally, AI-related infrastructure may soon consume six times more water than Denmark, a country of 6 million, according to one estimate. That is a problem when a quarter of humanity already lacks access to clean water and sanitation.  

but i also believe it's inherently anti-human.

In a time when global literacy rates are diving (did you know that half of american adults read at a 6th grade level or below?) , I think it's incredibly short-sighted to be essentially surrendering your ability to write your own emails/essays/messages to an AI, when doing it yourself, despite what online contrarians will say, does have value (emails teach you how to communicate professionally, messages improve your social skills, essays improve your critical thinking skills). In this political landscape, it also feels dangerous to have your ability to read critically by yourself get dampened by AIs which are, at the end of the day, owned by silicon valley billionaires many of whom attended trump's inauguration, which is a good indication of where they lie politically.

Generative AI when it comes to art is also killing culture, removing opportunities for existing artists who are the ones who can extend the ceiling for human creation and helping society devalue art even more even though it's the only thing keeping us all sane. How would you feel if all you had in your life was just school or work, leaving out music, movies, tv shows, books, art? Doesn't art bring enough value to your life that it's worth properly compensating the people responsible for it? Why should we ever encourage or normalise throwing art into a meat grinder and feeding on the approximated soulless sludge it generates?

For AI chat bots, my beef with it is that it's an inherently anti-social product. All it does is remove the need to ever communicate with another person, which is horrible for people's brains. Some people are "falling in love" with their ai chatbot, some people are using their ai chatbots as therapists. The desire for real human connection is getting lost. An AI chatbot also makes RP obsolete, which is a foundational part of fandom which, i always feel like i need to remind people, is based on community. The point is to connect with people! I just fear that the popularisation and normalisation of this technology is going to end up with people shut in their homes their entire life, lost to whatever toxic pipeline their anti-social behaviour inevitably leads them down.

i know people love to play with AI like it's a fad, and it's "not that deep bro" but i think it's shameful and embarrassing to act as if you don't have agency in your life. You can choose to abstain from technology, you can choose to find entertainment elsewhere, you can choose to be a person independent of technology. If all AI went away tomorrow, would you be able to still do your job? Write a story? Read a book and understand its meaning? AI is a product built on instant gratification and entitlement - not to get too deep on an ask about AI chatbots, but i think art, relationships, culture, all of it is worth the journey to get there.

If you're so worried about the city being unsafe while you're out of commission, why don't you ask John to fill in for you?

John doesn’t do that. He’s been on patrol with me before, but I know it’s not his thing.

And he’s already done so much for me.

QUICK messages What sweet things are coming to you?

pile i

Something creative, perhaps a gift, or something hand made. Even if it’s something you make for yourself, there’s something about the symbol of a tortoise here. They represent peace, wisdom, and longevity. So perhaps there are good things coming, maybe you feel like you spend so much time waiting because whatever it is you want takes time to develop. You’re looking for true stability & security, it doesn’t come overnight. You could get signs, messages, Angel numbers. Try to breathe, stay grounded, focus.

For some it could be a love letter! How sweet, a token of appreciation and adoration.

I’m seeing hummingbirds as a sign for this collective of something sweet.

You will be sweeter on yourself as well, I’m seeing- there are people around you wanting to be sweet on you but you are very stubborn.

Be sweeter on yourself and your life will become sweeter in general. 🍓

——————————

pile ii

Perhaps a confession, flowers, a sweet confectionary from a loved one. Something meaningful & tasty. I see hand holding, eye contact, touch and kissing. Someone who admires your mind heart & soul. Someone who craves you, who craves your sweetness! This person is coming in for you Pile 2, perhaps you’re hard to get or perhaps you’ve been feeling a bit drained. This person is quite sweet on you and you’re in for a treat 🤭

Sexy times are ahead pile 2 🤣

————————

pile iii

REST, relaxation, vacation maybe? You could be very stressed pile 3, take more time for YOU. Focus on your needs & your wants instead of others. Cook for yourself, sing in the shower, watch a good movie, hug your stuffed animal and remind yourself that it WILL be okay. This too shall pass, you could be feeling lost- depressed and confused. There is sweetness in the world around you pile 3, just be patient and wait for it to unfurl. There are so many people that love you.

Be grateful for them ✨
