The Cat and I – Wohltuend – Zauberwort

The Cat and I – Wohltuend – Zauberwort

Wir haben so viele Ideen, Pläne, Visionen. Was wir nicht alles tun wollen, müssen, können, könnten … Menschen erzählen von ihren grossartigen Projekten und Vorhaben, die sie anpacken werden, oder wenn sie sagen, dass sie dies und das nicht kaufen, sondern selber machen können. Könnten, wenn … “Mache mue mers!”, denke ich oft und sage es selten. Die Worte bleiben mir im Hals stecken. Aber das ist…

I am awaiting the time when illustrations of this couple hit harder when they finally get together. Because enemies to lovers is usually not my cup of tea, but damn this one got hands. I just know the art that the artist keeps dropping is going to strike me down with an arrow to the heart.

Dusk hangs her head a bit, seeming defeated.

“I hope so.”

She absentmindedly hugs Jessy.

*Icia feels a small bit of success as she looks at the two.*

.. maybe things won't go back to the way they were. But they'll eventually go to a way we can all live. We'll have our good days and we'll have our bad. But we'll be content.

We just.... *she looks at the sky and starts talking to herself.*

We can't give up. Otherwise all of this... all of this is for nothing. You can't give up, or else all of this damage isn't good damage, it's just damage..... [/ref]

*She snaps her attention back to Dusk.* We'll be okay. Not now, maybe.... but eventually. Eventually everyone will be okay, in one way or another. Things will.... go on. No matter what, everything goes on.

.... what was that thing Jessy talked about... inertia...?

The midjourney stuff just reminds of when we were trying to find a new platform to host the ao3 donation form, and companies kept trying to tell me about all their "ai" features that would track donor engagement, and figure out the optimal pattern to email individual donors asking for follow up donations, and all the ways they suggest we manipulate people into staying on our websites. It was a great way to filter out who either wasn't listening to us when we described our ethics and donor base, or just didn't believe us.

Now granted ao3 is a unique case based on a) the amount of page views we get in any given time period and b) the fact that most donors absolutely do Not want to be identified as such anywhere, (the default "list of recent donors" module got nuked Immediately) but it surprised me some that the concept of "donors who value their privacy and would be furious at even the whiff of AI" is unique. Some of us really are just existing in different worlds.
