reminding me of that post abt AI making me believe in the human soul because now I know art made without it.

you can't have good FANfiction from a bot that has no emotions or connections to media - something that literally cannot be a fan

AI is the byproduct of content culture and is being used to actively kill two things central and implicit to being human... art and storytelling.

There are currently ~2300 works in AO3 tagged with "Created Using Generative AI"

I'll be upfront with my opinion, which mirrors my opinion in regards to my field: using AI will only hasten your own obsolescence. The point of fanfiction is not to crank out fics, but rather to enjoy the hobby and communities of writing and fandom.

Edwin and Niko in a nutshell...

i feel like this is what Midnight Mass got right, everyone who is transformed desperately clings to their humanity and their beliefs, but the animal drive ultimately takes over for almost all of them.

Modern vampire fiction: Vampires are scheming masterminds whose plots cannot be fathomed by mortal man.

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897): Most people become mindless animals when they turn into vampires; Dracula is exceptional in that he retained any intelligence at all, but he's still dumb as hell, and his schemes literally only work because he's rich.

merlin fandom brainrot is hitting me again and yes these fics are all incredible (ESPECIALLY ones written by OP oh. my. god)

We're TRENDINGG for no REASONN just like god DECREEDD, so here are 5 fics that would steal your breath away:

1. My breaths are run by your compass by regulusrules. [T] [20K+] [post-camlann fix-it] [golden age but merlin stabs arthur in his heart first].

Not because it's my fic and it's genuinely so insane you won't believe it, but honestly, it's the best idea I've ever come up with, even better than the widely beloved my heart is readily yours. For me, it's the perfect continuation of their story, and the most unhinged plot twist you could find in a fic.

2. Half of my soul by @clockwrkpendrxgon. [G] [2K] [MCD] [golden age growing old together]

This fic is half of my soul, or what the poets say. It's so much better as an ending than what they've given us. At least this is filled with such golden love it makes you ache. At least this makes sense.

3. from hearth and ashes, we’re reborn by @remuscariad. [G] [5K] [canon era magic reveal].

This fic is so good you'll be on your knees from it. The prose, the characterization, the tropes used... it will linger in your mind and fester there from how beautiful it all is. And the art in it by @onepeppercorn... stunning.

4. Our broken pieces by @aramblingjay. [T] [10K] [canon era established relationship]

You can pry this fic from my cold dead hands. I will never stop recommending it until it gets the fame it deserves. One of the most beautiful fics ever written about them, and genuinely encompasses their characters so perfectly.

5. gentle as an early spring breeze by @prattery. [G] [2.5K] [canon divergence golden age]

They are alive and in love and we're all living in this fic because it's what they righteously deserved. The way their life was written here and the love between them... I swear this author could write anything and I'd kudos it before even reading it.

I'm curious. Reblog this if you know how to cook

I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat.

Some people are always like "You couldn't make Blazing Saddles nowadays because of woke" but that's silly. Clearly they didn't watch the same Blazing Saddles as me cuz the one I watched was a slapstick summer comedy about how racism is bad. Hell, if they made Blazing Saddles today those same assholes would be whining about how "racism is bad" is part of the woke Marxist agenda or whatever.

Y'know what you couldn't make today? Shining Time Station. If they tried to make Shining Time Station today those same assholes would be like "Hmm, this George Carlin guy said bad words and doesn't like Jesus. We don't want him around our children." And that'd be it for Mr. Conductor.

does anyone think that Steve ever took the party to go watch Dune (either when it came out in 1984 or at a drive-in some other point in time)

and they had to leave early because the mouth of the sandworms looked a little too much like the demo-creatures from the Upside Down...

VERY important for ONE person on this website I can no longer find

idk someone asked for the jacket Sloane wears in Ferris Bueller's Day off and I bought an amazing one from LeatherCult (also linked is ferris's jacket)

#ferris bueller's day off #sloane peterson #yes its kind of pricy but usually leather jackets of this quality go for 250+ (more for replicas) so its really not too bad #anyways if anyones seen this account tag them!

literally everyone needs to see this

I might've added the BG3 Art Book to my dnd assets stash

It' 100% does not have things like the 5e players' handbook + 5e’s character sheet, several gm guides, critical role's explorer's guide to wildmount, baldur's gate and waterdeep city encounters, 101 potions and their effects, volo's guide to monsters, both of xanathar's guides, a bunch of other encounters, one shots, and class builds

In no way are there any pdf’s relating to any wizard who may or may not be residing on any coast

(Edit that I’ve moved the folder to the new link above! So if you catch a different version of this post that link won’t work anymore!)
