Idk who needs to hear this, but talking to blorbo on the plagerism machine is crossing the picket line.

talking to blorbo accounts for over 50% of AI use

A screenshot of a table from the study linked above, it shows that currently 52% of use is for roleplay

"You have to use AI."

...why?
People keep saying that AI is inevitable. Like Bartleby, I'd prefer not to... We "have to use it!" My response to that is simply... WHY? Why is it being pushed so much and into so many things? Once you've gotten people to cede their decision making to an algorithm, eventually they'll stop thinking for themselves. Why would I outsource thinking for myself to a machine? I have a brain.

For his art did express
A quintessence even from nothingness,
From dull privations, and lean emptiness;
He ruin'd me, and I am re-begot
Of absence, darkness, death: things which are not.

epic will pay for every game that gets claimed this way so yes, you are still giving money to rowling (and by extension an international campaign against trans people) by claiming this

there are other, better franchises - let this one go

Repost your creative works. Seriously. Idk who needs to hear this but I’ve seen the topic coming up of people worrying they’ll be “cringe” for reposting their art, writings, gposes, (ect) and you should NEVER be ashamed of wanting to repost what you make. Be proud of your creativity! SHOW IT OFF! 🫶

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

You know, for a people called "Keepers of the Moon", you'd expect that one of the moons literally falling out of the sky and all the calamitous events that followed would have resulted in a MAJOR cultural shake up and crisis of faith.

Not that squenix would write about it, but still.

i use the "fluff" tag in such an arbitrary way including on a fic my oc almost died so i maybe don't understand the assignment. but
Facets archiveofourown.org/works/619175... and Subtlety archiveofourown.org/works/64644655 are probably closest (both wolaymhien)
ao3 screenshot: “Ah! You’re awake! We just thought we would get some sparring in before the day started. Did we disturb you?” Hien is smiling as they approach him; Aymeric looks sheepish, as though he can anticipate the complaint waiting on Lysander’s lips. He leans in to press a kiss to the corner of his frown. “Forgive us,” he murmurs, “I thought it best not to waste the day.” Lysander purses his lips, but it is difficult to maintain his feigned irritability when the two of them look so at ease, happy in each other's company and glowing with their recent exertion. Once again, he reflects that he feels nary a shred a guilt for this plan to drag the two of them away from their duties for a moon, to give them a taste of his own—considerably less structured—lifestyle. “And I have a rather unique one, I am noticing. Do you exclusively dance with Aymeric?” Lysander pouts. “I hate leading.” “You cannot expect me to believe there are not others here willing to unburden you of that role. There are in fact more than I expected, despite what you have both told me of Ishgard’s progress.” “Hm?” “Men with men, and women with women.” As if to illustrate Hien’s point, a pair of women sways past them, an Elezen and a Hyur, the Elezen nodding in acknowledgement as Lysander accidentally catches her eye. “Ah, yes. Well, this is Emmanellain’s party. I suspect he encourages such things, to cultivate his modern image.” “Would you refuse a man who asked, then?” “…I also hate following.”

For today's #fanficfridays, are you a fan of writing fluff? Or is the tag rarely seen on your fics?

Hien proposed to Fafnir! Fafnir initially ran away before Yugiri hunted them down and made them talk about their feelings. They had an elopement with Yugiri and the (Doman) priest and Fafnir conveniently forgot to tell anyone for an age.

After EW, they have a formal affair to help bolster spirits+

Since finals week is kicking my ass and I need some serotonin:

For the married WoLs out there, how/when did your WoL propose? Or did their love interest(s) propose to them? Was it a spontaneous decision? A carefully planned ritual? Where/When was the wedding?
