I think I might have similar tastes? Some of my favourite bits of AP's are when there are digressions into why choices are being made, how we imagine certain things happening, "above the table" conversations etc. that interact or exist alongside the fiction level.

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!
A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

I’m l not gonna lie, these questions suck but you should let them know how and why. We all need to tell them that this is mostly a grift. It is obvious by the way the questions are framed that they don’t know.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.
wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you. You people couldn't hang with real slackers. finn wokeupchic • 4d It's fuck Al till your homework due in 25 minutes
