I think the best way to fight this AI shit is just to support actual creators. The cat's out of the bag with AI; our data's going to be taken and used without our consent whether we like it or not, so maybe we should put efforts into holding up those who create their own stuff. Comment/interact on people's writings and art. Make it worth them posting; make it clear that what the people are interested in isn't generated stuff, but things that people have actually done themselves. It's a drop in the ocean, but showing creators that it's them that deserve the support at least serves to cut off a tiny bit of oxygen to these AI hogs - and make a difference to creatives who are trying against hope to share with a community.

#what saddens me about this is that the ai cat didn't have to be out of the bag #we could have just decided to not use it #but i've seen several book kickstarters lately with ai generated art #and it disappoints me so deeply that people would choose to do that #throwing creatives under the bus because ai isn't quite threatening you yet? #it makes me so angry

People used to comment on web comics.

People used to comment on fanfiction.

People used to comment on fanart.

People used to comment on OCs.

I hate "content" culture.

I hate "consuming content" and scrolling immediately to the next thing.

People used to be excited about the art that other people created.

People used to want to share that excitement with creators.

I hate this future.

I’m so sorry but in the nicest way possible do yall actually read books or just read words??? Cause I’ve been seeing that trend of people not understanding how “snarled” and “eyes darkened” and “eyes softened” etc. was used in a book and like…

Genuinely, do yall just not have imagination?? Or not understand figurative language??? Also eyes do literally darken and soften have you not lived a life??? How do you read with no imagination? Is this how you get through so many books in one month - you simply don’t take the time the understand the words as they are read?

#when people say ´what does growl mean is he a dog’ i literally want to fight them lmao #do you really need everything spoonfed to you #and then they’ll post a video from somewhere and go ‘is that what they mean when they say he growled???’ #and like OBVIOUSLY YES #WHY ARE YOU SO SURPRISED #’omg authors use words that have meaning because they want to express that meaning’ #…it seems like that post hit a nerve #oops #also i’m seeing people talk about aphantasia to explain this #i mean i have it and can’t picture things for the life of me #but i have seen people interact lol #it’s not the issue imo #btw i’m not directing this towards people who actively struggle with picturing things obviously #but towards ppl who make fun of it and act like it’s impossible to understand these words when they have a clear and obvious meaning

voted yes with the caveat that i mean erotica rather than, like, porn lol. i can't do porn in french but tactful erotica is fine imo.

with that being said, some common kinks in smut just fully do not work in french lol. i once had a conversation with a friend that more or less concluded with me saying "how can anyone have a daddy kink in french? what are they going to call him? papa????" ("comment on peut avoir un daddy kink en français même ? il faudrait l'appeler comment ?? PAPA ???")

The other day, my bestie and I went to the bookstore looking for romance books that include smut. We only read books like these in English since we cringe a little too much if the smut chapters are written in/translated to our first language.

Now I am curious if you relate to this. Feel free to share this post so more people see it and share your thoughts with me in a reblog/comment. 💚

Felix Navidad || Felix x Reader

Pairing: Felix x f!reader

Summary: You keep seeing Felix around. First he falls in your courtyard on Christmas Eve, then you see him hiding chocolate eggs in a park, and then he appears on the staircase behind your apartment, in the middle of the night. It’s unusual, and you have no idea what it means. What you do know, though, is that you’re absolutely fascinated by him, who he is, and the light and joy he seems to bring with him everywhere he goes. Even if you have no idea who or what he is, all that you want is to find out more — and get to spend a little more time with him.

Word count: 16.4k

Genre: Strangers (to Friends) to Lovers, Christmas Evel!au, fluff, angst.

Warnings & Tags: a number of references to a dead parent, sfw, kissing, language, mentions of insecurities, some anxiety on the part of the reader, hypothermia (don’t do what OC does!), everyone makes a cameo.

A/N: Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate, and happy holidays to everyone! So this little Christmas-themed piece is what I’ve been working on this non-stop (not really, but close enough) for the past two weeks. It’s my first piece for Stray Kids and for Felix, and it’s been a lot of fun to do. I would love to get your feedback, and I really hope you’ll enjoy your reading ^-^

The first time you see him, it’s the middle of the night, on the 24th of December.

Well, technically, it’s late enough that it’s the 25th, but your mom used to say that the new day started at sunrise, and since this is her favorite time of the year, you follow her rules for once.

Was. Was her favorite time of the year.

You keep forgetting.

It’s three am, and you’re throwing out the trash. You’ve been cleaning up your apartment, because tonight is as good a night as any to clean, especially since you don’t have to get up in the morning. You can see the colored lights of the Christmas decorations that have been set up in the street flashing on and off against the buildings, but you can’t admire them, because you’re standing in this sad courtyard, frowning in disgust, just wanting to throw your bag in the already stuffed dumpster and get it over with. When you get back into your apartment, you’ll probably watch movies until you pass out.

That’s the best use of your time you can think of on Christmas night.

For now, though, you’re trudging through grayish, melted snow, and bitterly regretting that you didn’t bother to put on shoes before going out. You’re probably ruining your slippers. You’re also freezing cold, the air icy on the tip of your nose, but you only need to be outside for a few seconds, a minute tops. You’ll be good. You’ve thrown a coat on, but you’re only wearing your pajamas underneath, which is fine, because it’s not like you’re going to be meeting anyone outside on Christmas Eve at this time of the—

And then there’s a scream.

Yeah, I can't see your reblogs, but I do see your posts if I check your blog :') I still think your best bet is to keep messaging Tumblr support, every couple of days until they reply. They're usually pretty reactive for me but it probably depends on the problem unfortunately :/ I hope you manage to fix it!

I still can't fucking comment and message. Even the posts that I reblogged that I thought were properly posted doesn't show up. I can see it here on my page but when I look at the post's reblog it's not there.

This is so frustrating. I thought I was just probably banned for a certain amount of time with how much I comment and message people (I'm messaging people before blocking them).

But it's been weeks. I tried clearing the cache, clearing the data, uninstalling the app and then reinstalling, restarting my phone, deleting more files from my storage but nothing.

I don't even really understand how Tumblr works before that much and now I am completely lost. I've already gotten over a flu and now I'm almost cured of a UTI and I STILL can't use this app like before. Fuck.

[candlewaxandp0lar0ids]

I don't know if you'd gotten my message on the subject, but I think you might have been shadowbanned and you should try contacting the support about it! This post has a link to reach the support and explains the issue pretty well. I hope you manage to get it fixed, it sucks that this is happening and you're such a precious presence on this website :<

“Why does the third of the three brothers, who shares his food with the old woman in the wood, go on to become king of the country? Why does James Bond manage to disarm the nuclear bomb a few seconds before it goes off rather than, as it were, a few seconds afterwards? Because a universe where that did not happen would be a dark and hostile place. Let there be goblin hordes, let there be terrible environmental threats, let there be giant mutated slugs if you really must, but let there also be hope. It may be a grim, thin hope, an Arthurian sword at sunset, but let us know that we do not live in vain.”

people who try to get more attention on their fandom posts by separately tagging all the main characters regardless of each character's presence in the post are my worst enemies. if i want general series posts i will go to the series tag so if you specifically promise me images of my specialest little guy and you are lying to me i will be very upset

[candlewaxandp0lar0ids]
