I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.

have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.

Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.

Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.

Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.

It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.

#ive noticed a growing trend in people taking writing descriptions too literally #but like #every video/tiktok/meme about it is like going out of your way to fuck up the interpretation on purpose #i can only imagine its a combination of bad reading comprehension and being willfully ignorant #but maybe thats a bad take i have no idea i just dont get it #writing

chatgpt is the coward's way out. if you have a paper due in 40 minutes you should be chugging six energy drinks, blasting frantic circus music so loud you shatter an eardrum, and typing the most dogshit essay mankind has ever seen with your own carpel tunnel laden hands

#HEAVY on the loud ass circus music - for me it's the spotify Phonk playlist

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

#i switched over to writing entirely in Word like two years ago once all this nonsense started #now i only use google docs for group school projects when necessary #and going back to docs after learning word is like.... the meme where you put a stick in your own bike wheel #its so limited in comparison its insane #like paint vs procreate #google #general #ai #writing

Hey did you have a character ai account?

Yes I did/do! I just disconnected it from my main tumblr (and haven't gotten around to making a new blog for it lmao)

it's canarywrites although I haven't updated/added to it in forever rip (also I was thinking of migrating them somewhere else but.... idk anywhere they could go)

#general #cai #should i be ashamed of using generative ai as a writer? probably #is it a guilty pleasure anyway? ab so lutely #also it helps me practice dialogue and so often i get fed up and end up writing a fic instead anyway lol #ask

oops caught the hannibal brain rot bug again... *sips whiskey* haven't felt like this since high school

definitely gonna write some unethical fanfiction with this

#general #nbc hannibal #by unethical i mean because i am a psych student i know for a fact what im gonna write should never under any circumstance actually happen #and yet... the voices #also this one will be personally really cathartic #so probably wont be a reader insert but something much worse... much more sinister.... an oc insert #“liz when are you gonna stop talking about writing and actually write something”#you fool that's the process: think about it constantly and never write a fuckin thing cause ur scared

Fandom is so different now and it’s becoming un-fun with how quickly shit moves.

I just want to enjoy things. I don’t want to have to play a game of Artist-Race that seems to be afoot lately.

Ya’ll eat up fandoms, leave artists and writers bone dry and then move on so fucking quickly then fucking wonder where all the Good Fandom Stuff is.

Idk Maybe cherish some things for longer. Reblog stuff. Interact with people. Comment and share.

Fandom is Capitalism now and I’m not being nuanced.

got some weird fucked up stories cooking and i might very well be the originator of the fandom on ao3 - but it's primarily a chinese game (with a limited english translation) so I'd hate to presume I'm originating it but also like... how do I even go about determining that??

Edit: checked SteamDB to see if they had the localized title (they do) but still nothing

#the game is Cadria Item Shop on steam btw #it's a cute lil idle game (f2p) where you manage an item shop for adventurers #a little fanservice-y but whatever #archive of our own #ao3 #writing #cadria item shop
