Yes, that's a good analysis.

So, a simple way for me to explain it.... How about this?
You know the colors you get in your vision when you stare at something bright?

That experience used to be the only way my brain could make mental shapes exist.

Today I ask
For Lin to be the
Indulgent gremlin
She refuses to be.

Bring your impulses closer
To your actionable thoughts
Forget dignity today
Embrace excitable ferret-hood

Yeah. It's very easy to dismiss AI narration for Genshin tutorials with "oh well at least it's not a character" but work is work. That's the issue.

Voice acting is already a shallow pool. Draining it further hurts everyone.

It's not just the characters with prints and con invites. It's the job.

Two years ago they probably would've got Yuri Lowenthal to narrate this. Now it's just a job that could've gone to a VO artist, but didn't! It's degrading the quality for the fans, and disrespecting the work of voice actors

Clown Of Evolution

a glitch in time
stuffing our mouthholes
with organic matter
hoping to survive
while grasses
would chuckle about
human hubris
us — accelerants of decay
destroying what feeds us
clown of evolution

The Unassertive

I have found much
In the way I've been
Seems the #key to my heart
's now frayed and thin

From what you say
And what I hear
Now's a good time
T' give in to fear

So give me reason
A sharpened spear
Prod me forward
If your assertion's clear

Paradox of Undesired Rewards

Everyone tells me to stab
To struggle and grab
And fight for the right
to be me.

But I am me.
I want what I have
Have what I need and
Only need what I want

Why should I fight
Through fear and despair
For the promise
Of a distant sea?

After much uncertainty
I can tell you free

If I were truly all alone
There would be no me

Loops Again

All this chatter
Ever fatter
Does it even
Really matter

When being scored
On each new floor
Just to push
Through further doors

At each new score
And every door
A metal gate
To the killing floor.

Red lights chatter
Ever madder
Once more we know
It's time to scatter

I’ve admitted
I need you
more than
a million
times,
it should
be safe
to need
love,
affection-
yet you
spurn me
over and over,
twisting
my needs
against me
until I’m
pretzeled
and start
to believe
I’m broken;

I’m the
empty hole
and you’re
the shovel.

Grant us eyes
Grant us lies
Grant a solemn sent surprise

Grant us might
A will to fight
An ever-going right

Grant us light
And grant us night
For our slowly fading sight

The Tale Unwritten

Why should I be
A story told
As everyone
Wants of me?

A quiet tale
Of work and struggle
And selling
Three for three

I'd rather sit,
Let it all unfold
Than chase
forever,
A quarry sold.
That I can
Barely see.

My monster says
It's all a cage
Just give in to
the growing rage

Stop playing games
Upon their stage
Why be contained
For points on a page.

What does that say, "The coming storms make us all lay still"?
That's good.

The coming storms make us all lay still
As we obsess over keeping our fill
While the false messiah proclaims from the hill
And the deceitful replace our gold with their swill

An effort given
In preference
Has no less
meaning
Than violence

Unbeholden
To a
Virtuous signal
Is raising the land
My nephews
call home.

I help
Where I can
By helping
Where I want
I'll save
My fellow man,
But still
Care for myself.

Trying to work my way through all the #Emoetry prompts I've missed today..

Not particularly happy with this almost #TerzaRima but it's... well...
It exists...
Hopefully I'll warm my words up a bit soon...

You were my calm,
My home, my nest
Was built in your arms,

I could sleep,
I could finally rest
Lost in the deep

Warm comfort
Of you
And the scent of your shirt.

So what do I do?
You were my calm
The safe space I ran to

It was always you
So what now if we're through?

In You, I Now Hear

Another hidden word
In the dialect of souls

Another blessed symbol
I refuse to comprehend.

Another missing turn
In the dialogue on whole

Another competition
Of disparate sought ends

Another dissolution
Of what I thought was love

Of You, I Still Hear

But I need that trace
For the little that I know
Still needs help to grow
