This morning I was reading a fanfic (ao3) and everything was fine until in the comment section the author answered a question about the writing AI she was using. I felt such visceral disgust at that. I dropped the story like it was acid.

To those that use AI. How dare you? How dare you to have the audacity of using a program that steals people's creativity? How dare you feed it, taking that which was granted with love and passion and then transform it into a soulless program? How dare you bend yourself to these corporations that only seek to exploits us further?

I would 100% prefer to read a fic that has mistakes but that has care into every word and a person behind it with immense love for the fandom, than to read Shakespeare vomited by a code that it was written by a thousand cunts that wank themselves at a picture of Mark Zuckerberg.

If you're doing mental gymnastics to justify art theft and exploitation, then there's no mistake. You are wrong. Nothing will change that.

This is not gonna be a nice post, I'm going to be extremely blunt.

If you're using AI in any creative fashion like Art, Voice replication or for roleplay you're hurting the industry you claim to enjoy. There are better alternatives. I understand why people use them, if they were around when I was younger I'd use them too. I even used the voice AI thing for a short while but I recently cancelled my subscription due to seeing the strikes against it.

It sucks to hear but its true.

Wes Johnson said it better than I can. Take the time to read what hes been posting. If you love the VAs and writers then stop it.

I just saw on Minnie Bruce Pratt’s website there’s an update that she’s in palliative care currently, her sons set up a google doc for people to send her words of encouragement and I think this is a great opportunity to send love to our queer elders! Her website is her name .net

thank you for letting me know ♥️

The thing thats consistently bothered me the most in the fallout show is the racism. I would hesitate to recommend it because of that alone. And there was obvious love that the set and prop designers, actors, costume department, and even maybe the writers put into the show! There are themes and characters in fallout that i'm certain would resonate with fans of color!

It KILLS me that so many of the fallout entries are damn well unplayable/watchable in this regard because the writers simply Don't Care how the people in their work are presented. That this like hugely popular world with a lot of worldbuilding and thought behind it does such wrong to so many people, fans and otherwise, that you cannot find any game in the series that does it right or well. It alienates a lot of people who might've been fans just because the majority white creators and fanbase don't give a shit, and I'm sick of it.

it's not enough to say "in the fallout in my head that racism doesn't happen," you actually have to put some things into PRACTICE. Allow space in your head, your games/show, your fan spaces for people of color! notice and say something when you see racism coming from media, yourself, and others!

#like its not AS bad as other fallout media but isnt that the fucking kicker. that its not AS bad #and in fact the games im thinking of that are most egregious in their racism ARE interplay/obsidians games. #bethesda is NOT free from criticism or racism. just look at the elder scrolls. #all of the fallout games have been terrible to different extents to their black characters #the games are TERRIBLY sinophobic. the great war being pinned on china allows for SO much racism in the writing and in fan spaces #but fallout 2 and new vegas specifically have awful and degrading representations of indigenous people. to the point where i wont play 2. #and now this show treating maximus nearly one to one with how star wars writers AND fans treated finn? its not okay #personal / #fallout show #fallout blogging #racism #antiblackness #colonialism #fallout #if not for this i would have thought that the show was GOOD. surprisingly compelling. anti capitalist messaging. but its just. all the time #and this is coming from a white person! i can only listen and imagine how painful it is to play these games or watch the show #and be the butt of the joke every time!!! or the villain or the fool or the one who dies or the nameless entry. #maximus gets to have Some time in the light as a protagonist but for the beginning half of it he's treated SO awfully by the writers #and the latter half does not do enough to make up for it #EDIT: I JUST FINISHED THE SHOW AND THEY FUCKING MADE IT WORSE.... #taking max out and having lucy leave him. for what exactly. why did they have to undermine him and make him look stupid at every opportunit #AND. two of the more major black women being evil capitalists juxtaposed by some white guy who opposes? ......................... #like im glad moldaver was there. i guess. but even she is posed as the villain for the good majority of it and kills innocent people #for no reason and. UGH

(excuse this jumbled post lol I was on a roll and I didn't wanna put it off in case I forgot any of it, enjoy some miraak x ldb)

don't think about the last dragonborn learning about being dragonborn and what that means from tales hundreds of years ago, being told by others who would benefit from their service and sacrifice what their reason for being is.

don't think about the quiet nights the dragonborn would spend out in the wilds of skyrim, sometimes accompanied by a companion but always lonely, as the companion and the dragonborn could part ways at anytime, and the companion could go back to whatever simple life they had before, but the dragonborn could never, always bound by a fate they could never escape, from a destination so important and grand it could mean the complete destruction of the entire world as they know it if they failed, but the path towards it is vague, obscured by conjecture, opinions, and fears of those who's lives hang in the shaky balance of the dragonborns ability.

don't think about the dragonborn constantly fighting with themself between their dragonic and mortal nature. Their dragonic desire for power being justified by their mortal desire to save the people they care about. Their mortal insecurities being exacerbated by their dragonic pride. As their quest continues and as they absorb more dragon souls, taking the memories and knowledge of the dragons they have slain, the more they are unable to discern where they begin and the dragon within them ends.

don't think about how isolated the dragonborn becomes after their identity from before their quest becomes completely overwritten and glossed over by being dragonborn. Nobody knows about who the dragonborn was before they were dragonborn because why would anyone ask? Where's the fun and excitement in learning about someone's humble beginning when they are the world eater's prophesied killer? As the people begin to idolize, they also start to fear the dragonborn's unbelievable power. Inns go dead quiet when they enter, markets no longer bustle with chatter and the laughter of children playing in the streets, instead replaced with murmers, some in awe, and some in terror. All further separate the dragonborn from mortalkind as they desperately try to hang on to their own sense of self as a mortal.

don't think about the first time they ever met miraak.

don't think of the terror they felt knowing their so far unbeaten dragonic power had a rival, or the relief they felt knowing their lonely mortal heart had a ally who's soul was completely like their own.

don't think about the fear they felt looking up at the one person in the world who could match their power and possibly surpass it, who spent hundreds if not thousands of years perfecting the power they had only begun to learn existed within them a few short months ago.

don't think about the pang of understanding they feel tugging at their bleeding heart when they hear the desperate tremor in his voice when he asserts that he will be free. How they can see their own reflection in his actions, the fear of imprisonment they both share and understand.

don't think about the despair the dragonborn feels knowing that out of all people they would be fated to kill, to ensure the safety of world, it would be the one person that could ever truly understand them, to truly look them in the eye and feel what they do.

don't think about the unimaginable anger the dragonborn feels at the aedra, daedra, fate, whatever entity that decided to force their blade at the heart of their soulmate.

'Then, after what felt like a lifetime riding the waves over an abyss of my own thoughts, feelings, and fears, a woman came to me. She stood with the moons hovering over one hand, the sun in the other, and her brow was crowned with a diadem of gold and silver stars. Her hair had the ebony darkness of a raven’s feathers, and all their moonlit sheen, and her eyes were the vibrant flaming amber of a cloudless sunset over a still ocean. She smiled at me, and the smile she wore was my mother’s.'

Concern

Taliesin was not one to feel concern very easily. In truth, the only people he’d ever truly felt any level of concern for were his sisters, but that was when they were young. Of course, then he became a Thalmor, where emotions like concern were trained out of him. He’d truly thought he would never feel concern for another person again, and frankly, he did not mind - things were less complicated when you only cared about yourself. 

That was all before he met Louis, though.

At first, Taliesin viewed Louis as an enigmatic fool - after all, who saves the life of someone you are supposedly morally and ideologically opposed to? Not only that, but who then decides to travel with said person, especially after they basically promise to someday betray you? Only a fool would make such decisions.

Taliesin would quickly learn, though, that Louis was no fool. Perhaps someone with a bizarre judge of character and a death wish, but certainly not a fool. 

As Taliesin saw it, Louis had a bit of a saving people thing, regardless of who the person might be. Louis simply couldn’t help himself when he saw someone in peril - he had to help them. It was almost endearing, if it weren’t for the fact that it put him in danger on more than one occasion. Louis wasn’t one to shy away from danger anyway, Taliesin would realize - if anything, he was known to lean into it. 

The first time Taliesin witnessed Louis charge into battle, blade in one hand, sparks in the other, he’d thought the smaller Altmer was going to get himself killed. It was also the first time Taliesin felt a slight nagging feeling of concern for Louis, watching him nearly die by a group of bandits before he’d even had time to react. Louis came out of that battle a winner, if only barely - he was bruised, bloody, beaten, yet still smiling. “Come on, Talie, keep up!” he’d said jokingly, apparently not noticing the horrified expression on Taliesin’s face. 

Those feelings of concern would only increase the more time he spent around Louis. After all, Louis had habits aside from his fighting style that also concerned Taliesin. He would never eat, unless he was on the brink of starvation. If he got injured, he’d often leave the wound to heal on its own, rather than using a quick healing spell or potion. Worst of all was probably his sleeping habits: Louis would go for days at a time without rest, to the point that he would be on the verge of collapse. Simply put, Louis was horrible at taking care of himself.

All of this led to Taliesin’s present state of anxiety, as he watched his companion limp ahead of him. The two of them had just been attacked by a group of wolves, one of which got a good bite in on Louis’s leg. Rather than stopping and healing himself up though, Louis pressed on.

“Maybe we should stop for a bit…” Taliesin suggested, his tone betraying his anxiety.

Louis paused, turning around to give Taliesin a concerned look. “What? Why? Are you okay?”

Taliesin blinked, not expecting to be questioned himself. “I…I’m fine, yes…”

Louis nodded slowly, before looking Taliesin up and down, as though to make sure he was telling the truth. Satisfied, he nodded, “Good. But why did you want to stop, then?”

Taliesin shifted awkwardly. “Louis…”

“Because if you are worried about me, don’t be,” Louis said, raising his eyebrows. “I’m fine.”

“Fine?! You have an open wound!” Taliesin couldn’t contain himself any longer. 

“And it will heal, just like all my prior injuries have,” Louis said, in an attempt to pacify his companion. 

“Right, all your prior injuries that you also just left to heal on their own, no healing spells, no potions,” Taliesin snarked. “Tell me, are you a masochist or something?”

Louis’s eyes widened, before he choked out a shocked laugh. “Wow, do you really want the answer to that question?”

“If it would give me a satisfying reason for why you don’t take care of yourself, then yes,” Taliesin said, crossing his arms stubbornly. 

“Why I don’t…” Louis repeated, eyebrows furrowing. “Where is all this concern for my wellbeing coming from? You’ve never acted all that worried about me before.”

Taliesin felt his face warm, and he shifted on his feet. “D-don’t change the subject!”

Louis looked quite pleased that he had managed to fluster Taliesin. “No, really, I’m curious. What’s changed, Talie?” Louis froze, then, as a thought occurred to him. “You care about me.”

“I…what?”

Louis pointed an accusatory finger at Taliesin. “You care about me.”

Taliesin blinked in confusion. “…We’ve been traveling as companions for a little while now, of course I care about you. It’s…not as easy as I would like, to remain detached from people I am around a great deal…” Louis’s expression was one of pure shock, as though this were all brand new information for him. It made Taliesin think… “I don’t know why this is so surprising to you. Do you not care about me?”

Taliesin made sure to steel his heart for whatever Louis had to say, completely prepared for rejection. Louis, however, looked almost offended when he replied. “Of course I care about you. I just…I didn’t expect…” Louis trailed off and looked away, suddenly self-conscious. 

Taliesin was able to fill in the blanks, though. “You didn’t expect me to care about you?” Something in Taliesin’s chest twisted a little. “Is it because of my past?”

“Your past- no, nothing like that,” Louis quickly reassured him. “It’s just…I never expect anyone to care about me, ever. I’m just…not used to it, is all.”

Taliesin’s eyebrows furrowed a bit at that. “Well, you better start getting used to it,” he said firmly. 

It wasn’t only the man’s tendency to not take care of himself that worried Taliesin - Louis’s mental state was also something that very much concerned him. Taliesin honestly did not know much about Louis or his past, and since Louis did not pry too much into his own past, he did not pry into Louis’s. He had to wonder though, what could have happened to Louis to make him care so little about himself, to believe that no one around him should care for him either? It broke his heart, just a little. 

“Come. Sit. Let me take care of that wound,” Taliesin suddenly demanded. Louis opened his mouth like he was going to argue, but instead, he merely sighed, before following Taliesin’s directions.

Taliesin knelt down beside Louis, hands reaching out to gently position his leg so he could see how bad the injury was. Louis’s pants were bloodied and ripped where the wolf had bitten. Taliesin hesitated, before ripping a strip of fabric from his robe, beginning to wrap it around the wound to stop the bleeding. Once that was done, he placed a gentle hand on the bandaged leg, casting a strong healing spell. 

A bit of the color came back to Louis’s face and he breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you.”

“You would probably feel even better if you ate something,” Taliesin pointed out.

“I let you heal me, don’t push it,” Louis warned. He pushed himself to his feet, testing the steadiness of his leg. Satisfied, he began walking down the road again. Taliesin got up, following after him. 

The two walked in silence for a bit, both seemingly thinking about the conversation they had just had.  Eventually though, Taliesin could stand it no more and he had to break the silence. “Can I ask you something?”

“Sure. Maybe. What do you want to ask?” Louis asked carefully. 

“Why is it that you don’t take care of yourself?” Taliesin asked in return.

Louis snorted slightly. “Well now, that is a loaded question, isn’t it?”

Taliesin shrugged. “It’s something I am genuinely curious about.”

“So you think I don’t take care of myself. Do you have any examples to back this up?” Louis asked.

“Plenty,” Taliesin said blandly. “Besides the fact that you never heal yourself when you’re injured, you also hardly ever eat or sleep, you consume substances that are bad for you, and you fly into battle like you have a death wish. You have to admit, Louis, it makes it seem like you are-”

“I’m not suicidal, if that’s what you’re implying,” Louis interrupted Taliesin. 

Taliesin held up his hands placatingly. “I wasn’t necessarily implying that, but I was going to say all of this stuff makes it seem like you are harming yourself on purpose…”

Louis did not respond right away, continuing to walk down the road like he hadn’t heard Taliesin at all. Eventually though, he spoke in a low, warning voice, “I wouldn’t go there if I was you.”

“Self harm can come in many different forms-” Taliesin tried to state calmly.

“What would you know about self harm?” Louis snapped, blue eyes fierce as they glared at Taliesin. It was clear a nerve had been struck, as it was rare for Louis to get genuinely mad like he was in that moment. 

“...” Taliesin struggled to find his words. Eventually, he settled on, “More than you might expect.”

Louis’s glare seemed to melt away in an instant. “You used to harm yourself?” Louis asked curiously.

Taliesin sighed heavily, avoiding Louis’s gaze. “Well…yes. Not a time I remember fondly. Self hatred is a nasty, evil thing - it works to destroy your very soul.”

Louis nodded in understanding. He swallowed hard, before saying, “I’m sorry I made you so concerned about me. I’m…fine. Really.”

Taliesin felt skeptical, but Louis’s eyes were practically pleading with him to take his words at face value. 

So, he did. “I’m glad,” he said, hesitating, before reaching out to grasp Louis’s shoulder firmly. “You’ll tell me if you ever become…not fine, right?”

Louis nodded, smiling a tender smile towards Taliesin. “I promise.”

For all the imperfect elder daughters

As a human, I have so much empathy for my father but as a daughter, I have so much anger. The anger I bottle up as to not betray my dearest, world-deserving mother is concerning. I think it has the capacity to burn me inside, just that I don’t let it. Because that’s who I always was. The eldest daughter. My role is to suppress my feelings to make everyone’s lives easier.

There is also a stereotype that all older daughters are perfectionists. They are good at everything. Academics, sports, and life in general. And, hey, that stereotype doesn’t come from nowhere. I personally have seen older sisters being the perfectionists, whether in my family or in my friends’ family.

But it’s okay if you’re an elder daughter and not all that. It is okay. Let that sink in. You will have some responsibilities and pressure on you, but it’s normal to be confused sometimes, to get only decent grades or to suck at sports. Nobody is 100%.
