My mental health really gave up the good fight when I started writing about fire emblem characters engaging in heterosexual gay hookups at the republican national convention

FE3H Timeskip Event | September 1-14, 2025 @fe3htimeskip.bsky.social · Sep 11

Day 11 of the #fe3htimeskip!* It's gonna get crazy today because the prompt is "Your Most Unhinged." Crack taken seriously, bonkers AUs and crossovers, self-indulgence, and general wackiness ahead!

* Yesterday was actually Day 10. I'm good at math but bad at counting.

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Probably mostly the latter

purple_bookcover @purplebookcover.bsky.social · 1d

Completely agree. Published books shouldn’t operate like fanfic. They’re different things with different goals and needs.

purple_bookcover @purplebookcover.bsky.social · 1d

Romance readers have destroyed their own genre by having way too much power over and access to the authors who write it.

Imagine admitting this out loud in public and not Sylvain Jose Gautier-ing yourself out of embarrassment.

purple_bookcover @purplebookcover.bsky.social · 2d

I just read an actual, real life author's newsletter in which they describe spending $4500 to learn FROM A HUMAN that even if they give AI their *entire fucking manuscript* the most efficient thing they can do is MAKE A GOD DAMN SPREADSHEET THEMSELF WITH THEIR HUMAN FUCKING BRAIN.

Sometimes the conservatives are right about us. Like when we don’t let people drink on a dancefloor. Woke dei at work. They got us.

I saw a cute and sexy Ashelix on here and my immediate reaction was pain. That's so upsetting. That ship just exists in a different time, a different part of my life. It comes laden with a lot of baggage right now, to the point I can barely look at it. Damn... That really sucks.

Donate your blood and I will write anything. Not to a bloodbank. Donate it to me personally. I have a P.O. box.
