a house on fire

A lot of fandom bullshit could be avoided if people just properly utilized the power of the three person group chat with a hilarious name.

shane’s a lot of things and one of them is that he’s yeah, kinda boring. and as someone who also considers themselves boring, it delights me to see ilya endeared by it and love shane for it, not in spite of it. and with how persistently ilya pursues him and how passionately he shows his attraction and interest, shane’s never left doubting that while ilya may call him boring, he’s not bored by him - that’s the distinction, that’s why ilya fell for him.

As much as I make fun of Percy for being down bad from day one what I really love is that he truly thinks this is regular friend behaviour. He’s unleashing his inner wattpad mafia boss for Annabeth, has her picture on his mirror, promises he’d burn down Olympus for her, seems offended there’s ‘another’ boyfriend and thinks it is purely platonic. And the best part is Percy is such a loverboy in all meanings of the world that that genuinely is understandable because he is simultaneously going to the sea of monsters for Grover, having Grover’s picture on his mirror, telling Grover he looks beautiful in a wedding dress, embracing Grover like the husband he presumed missing at sea and being so soulmated to his best friend that they dream together.

“i’m in love with you” except it’s a warning. and threat

What a highly specific and devastating word

AU where Shane comes out to his parents much earlier than in canon and tells them about a guy in Boston when they start asking about his love life, so when Shane and Ilya get caught at the cottage, Shane’s parents think he’s cheating on the guy in Boston. They get really upset and start lecturing Shane about how cheating is awful, and how it’s not only disrespectful to the guy in Boston but also to Ilya. They tell him how he’s put Ilya in a crappy situation, and how they didn’t raise him to be like this, and Shane has to explain that Ilya is the guy in Boston while Ilya is just like “you told your parents about me🥺”

Let’s fucking go

5. If the words are Google's, this solidifies the position of universities who demand that all answers from AI are fully cited. If all the in-line citations now have to be (Google, 2026), that's going to make it obvious when someone's trying to use Google as a source. There's still the difficulty with people who are academically dishonest by trying to pass off the AI writing as their own. 6. 91% accuracy is officially too low to use as a source of references, which means the AI can't be used as a source of references either. This makes it less legitimate for such purposes than Wikipedia of all places (Wikipedia might need date/time proof of when it was accessed for the reference to be valid, but at least it is possible to prove the link existed at a particular date and time). 7. This will help encourage the rollout of courses on how to avoid AI search for students who need academic accuracy, because it's statistically not good enough to use. 8. This strengthens the case intellectual property authors have against Google in the EU, as this is proof that an intellectual property transfer took place.

bringing back my too woke opinion that you should be allowed to change labels without the previous one being incorrect

i love how competitive shane and ilya are about things that aren't even hockey. the little race up the stairs to the door in episode two. chel at the cottage. i know that shane gets ilya to get extra vegetables in the morning by saying he can chug a mango kale smoothie faster. who can run a faster mile w/ anya. who can beat the other at ski-ball at the arcade. and it's also very important to me that they are both sore losers who will insist the other cheated
