#but fictional me could “fix them

[stickmeinhornyjail]

Yes, sometimes I am attracted to the just totally awful villains. Like little to no redeeming qualities. My vagina sadly does not have morals and therefore does not care.

I think Wyll is prettier than Astarion. There I said it. Astarion is more interesting certainly but mainly because Wyll is easier to look at. I just kick my legs and giggle whenever he's on screen. Mesmerized by him. Cannot tear my eyes away type shit.

I think, therefore I AM.

CW FOR BRIGHT COLORS/EYESTRAIN

FIRST FANDOM POST IN A WHILE WOW, big thanks to @egg-on-a-legg for the inspo! I saw the hate anamatic and honestly I really liked the triangular/almost bird like version of AM and I wanted to incorporate that a little! I get that plague doctors/the horseman of death doesn't really fit IHNMAIMS but I mean hey points for originality ig

Anon, this is so so sweet! I really wanted to draw something showing how Ambroys would respond to what your OC says with his, erm, characteristic humility and courteousness.

You’re right that he’d be smug about having such a loyal devotee. The time when he was dealing with Hyden was a period where most people had run out of patience and forgiveness for him. Having someone in his corner who was constantly feeding him compliments and promises of murder would do a lot to buoy his ailing ego and keep him stable when he was otherwise falling into a very sorry and sorry-for-himself state.

Of course, that’s not necessarily a good thing... for all he babbles about “appreciation”, Ambroys is an entitled and selfish bastard who takes other people’s kindness for granted. He doesn’t appreciate his “toys” until they’ve been broken or taken away. I hope your OC would stand up for themself once enough was enough!

Sometimes I will see a character utterly fuck up their relationship and it’s like. Man. Polyamory could fix you but that is never going to happen in this show

[lale-txt]

the feminism and self-respect leaving my body at light speed the very second i come across bloodthirsty villain who has either long luscious hair, pretty eyes (bottom lashes bottom lashes bottom lashes) or a deep desire to destroy the world over the loss of a loved one…

[aemiron-main]

these are literally some of the dumbest tags ive ever seen. like. there’s SO much here that’s untrue, including the empathy part. “love couldnt have fixed him as a child” have you considered he didnt need to be fixed??? Did you even watch the show???? Love would have ABSOLUTELY helped him, and he didn’t need to be fixed.

like i shouldnt be surprised that people on here are Siding On The Side Of Child Abuse but… and just like god there’s so many Factual Errors here, shitty and cruel attitude aside. “torturing animals for fun” and the kid in question looks distressed the whole time & a bunch of parallels indicate that he was trying to free the rabbit, but god forbid we look beneath our first surface impressions, right?

and also, the whole “before the lab” thing makes me insane because it acts like everything in his life was fine prior to the lab. meanwhile, he talks about how he was treated as being broken PRIOR to the lab and how his mother despised him PRIOR to the lab and how she wanted to send him away to an abusive predator scientist PRIOR to the lab and that’s just the surface level shit let alone all of the subtext about what his life was like pre-lab.

and not only is it impossible for him to have been trancing victor and killing slice at the same time & theres so much weirdness there, even if he straight up murdered virginia and alice got killed as part of it, it’s not like it happened because He’s Inherently Bad And Evil. I think he was in the right to kill virginia!!!!! Like sorry but wanting to send him away to Brenner????? She had it coming. Alice didn’t, but again, there’s so much weirdness around that AND even if he did kill her, the whole thing could have been prevented if people (Virginia) weren’t trying to send him off to the lab/fix him.

Like it’s insane to me that people will watch Dart’s arc about how creatures from the UD aren’t inherently evil and how Dustin’s love made a huge impact on Dart and yet will also go “oh yep mhm the duffers wrote this Literal Human Child to be Evil and Bad and Broken and he Needs To Be Fixed but hes so broken that not even love can fix him”.

Like. Op is the one with the real lack of empathy here & I sure hope they don’t extend this viewpoint to the abused and autistic kids/people in their life. I don’t feel bad calling the tags dumb because they ARE dumb and literally factually inaccurate and they’re cruel and contributing to the stigma around people who are low empathy (and henry isn’t even low empathy).

incredibly interesting how “leftists” on the internet decided that, now that autism is cool and trendy, making fuck of schizophrenic people is 100% completely fine and in fact, the new go to group of people to insult

[nazuna-tunnel-vision]

i love getting stupidly invested in characters. i use the whole hyperfixation as a blotch test to externalise and explore all the hang ups i didn't know i had and/or don't dare to face head-on.

[berrymeter]

sometimes i think maybe i'd like to actually write & post my writing on here but then i remember the worldbuilding i was working on needs to be entirely reworked in some parts & it's like. what's the point until i've worked all that out

[sneakyboymerlin]

The main source I’ve reblogged perelyan gifs from over the years turned out to be a vile, racist piece of shit, which means that I’m just gonna make my own perelyan gifs from now on. Gotta be careful about who you interact with ig…

Anyways, if you have any scenes or parallels or whatnot that you want giffed, I’m happy to do it.

[transboykirito]

kirito if you read this go hug asuna for me thanks

Day 1000000000000 of being romantically confused.

[jellybeansmud]

all i can say about yttd is. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

i am not completely brain rotting over it like with ronpa few years back but its probably only bc my mental state is a bit better and less dependant on something for escapism. if i saw it back then id be absolutely insane over it.

still im in love. i love the characters so much. i wamt to give them some soup and a hug and a happy au. why can't i love happy stories why do characters have to suffer in canon this much

Okay. It's time for an AI rant.

My nephew is 13 years old. Whenever he writes a paper for school, I check it over and fix all of his mistakes for him. He said to me, "Maybe I'll proofread your paper for you in exchange," meaning one of the scholarly articles I write for work. I said, "Cool," and gave him the file. And he said, "Well, this is full of errors! See, you always say you have a lot to correct on my stuff, and look at all the stuff you got wrong!" And I said, surprised, "What? Where?" Because I'm sure there are typos in the draft I sent him, but not, like, that many.

And then he pointed to the screen and said, "Look at all the blue and red lines you have."

And I said, "Yeah, but those are wrong. Like, those are blue and red lines I'm ignoring because the computer is wrong." And then I paused and added, "You know you can't proofread a paper by just looking at the red and blue lines, right?" And he gave me the blankest look, because that clearly is EXACTLY what he thinks. And it became even clearer suddenly why, whenever I correct something on his paper, his immediate reaction is, "It didn't have a blue or red line."

There's a very good reason for that: THAT'S BECAUSE THE COMPUTER ISN'T SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT IT WAS WRONG.

I am so tired of being sold the idea that computers are better than humans and so we should just outsource everything to them, which is clearly the lesson my nephew is absorbing in U.S. middle school. COMPUTERS ARE NOT BETTER THAN HUMANS. Like, maybe they are better at humans at crawling through rubble to find people trapped inside. They are also better at preserving things in a searchable format. Things like that. Very limited circumstances.

I don't want to sound alarmist but everything I hear about people using generative AI freaks me out. It's not just that I'm freaked out by people being like, "I use it to write novels!" (Although I don't see how they do, I have tried to have it write fiction for me and the output was truly terrible.) But I recognize my bias around creative writing and so no one needs to credit my views on artificial writing. But! Other things are alarming, too! "I use it to brainstorm x, y, or z." But...why? Why not just...use your own brain...to...brain...storm? The computer doesn't even have a brain to brainstorm with! And you might be like, "But it comes up with things that my brain would never think of!" So would other people! You could also brainstorm with other people! Or even through Google to see what other people have thought before you (not AI). Please don't belittle the wonder of thinking.

I just feel like the marketing around generative AI boils down to "Wouldn't it be easier not to use your own brain to think about things?" Everyone. No. It would not be. Please just trust me on this. I'm not just an old person who is out of touch with technology or something. I promise. USE YOUR BRAINS. IT WILL BE OKAY.

anyways im about to word vomit in my drafts about the inherent intimacy of being forced into eating someone's eye (leona) and the long lasting effects of it on a person who comes from a culture where eating (a) part/s of someone basically makes you soulmates (elvira) as well as the lasting effects of hurting someone you're sworn to protect and the healing process - both physically and mentally) (tanya)
