The average offline person thinks AI is a harmless gimmick. My manager was showing me photos of herself that she'd AI'd today and I just... nodded along.

And the final #Whumptober collaboration. Beautiful #TereDio artwork by @brilcrist.bsky.social. Prompt, Finding Old Messages. Rated Mature. Terence centric. Post-game. Terence returns home with the letters left by his lost love. #FFXVI

Resharing my ongoing arc of #teredio fics because I’ve always subscribed to the young queer longing.

My ongoing interconnected arc of Final Fantasy XVI #teredio fics. Ratings vary. Includes canon typical violence, religious imagery, and general weirdness. An adult fairy tale of love and loss with a hopeful ending. Each fic is tagged accordingly.

Ah yes. The fuckery. How could I forget.

Maegraeth @maegraeth.bsky.social · 2d

That is so fucking rude. Do people not think before they speak?

Maegraeth @maegraeth.bsky.social · 2d

Exactly. I may be newer to fandom spaces but I can still grasp the concept of respect and appreciation.

Maegraeth @maegraeth.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, exactly. People have been brainwashed & peer pressured into thinking calling out 'problematic' shit is activism when fandom is not fkin activism.

Maegraeth @maegraeth.bsky.social · 2d

And when social media is enabling the worst kind of people to be vocal about decrying content that they don't like, rather than simply adhering to the old ways of 'don't like, don't look'... I can see why people would be reluctant to create on their terms.
Which is so fucking sad.

So people are reluctant to put their ideas & themselves out there for protection, rather than being confident in their own creativity.

When people are being attacked left right & centre on social media for having ideas & opinions that 'aren't right' I wonder if we haven't been forced into shells, worried about making 'mistakes' for fear of being mobbed for them.

Maegraeth @maegraeth.bsky.social · 2d

It's permission, of sorts & as someone who has always struggled with 'doing something wrong' it's like 'okay, I can go all-in with this because I'm "not wrong" Which has me wondering if the modern shift is to blame for this, as well.

Maegraeth @maegraeth.bsky.social · 2d

Mmmm. I do wonder about the shift. My exp with fandom hasn't been traditional, I was late to the game. And on one hand I can understand how validating it can be when your own ideas then become 'backed' by canon.

Maegraeth @maegraeth.bsky.social · 2d

I’m retaining an open mind & looking forward to new ideas. But I’m also braced for the fuckery lol
