saw this on Insta and the idea that people who are anti-AI are just using it anyway like... willing to give it up? I ACTIVELY AVOID THAT SHIT BUD! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT?

ALSO

I can’t he is so funny in that puritan outfit 😭

Thank you for tagging me @ladyvaderpixetc and @atariakana, you are both wonderful! 🥰

Last song: Well, last one was my alarm clock, which today was Duality by Slipknot, but actual last song I listened to yesterday was Vindicate by Black Veil Brides.

Currently Watching: I just put on Swapped but had to pause to run some errands. Otherwise I'm between rewatches of Vienna Blood and Funny Woman for editing purposes (and because looking at Matthew Beard brightens my mood).

Currently Reading: nothing for fun, sadly. I'm trying to revise for uni exams but life keeps getting in the way.

Currently working on: at least 3 different fics and actually getting some rest before fall comes and brings with it all the Not Fun responsibilities.

Personal (one of the posts I was tagged in had this query too, feel free to ignore. Also, orange is the colour I dislike most lol): I've been having a very rough time health-wise recently so I hope I can get to go on some real vacation very very soon.

Last Google search query: serious one: "[uni name] [dept name] exams September 2026" bc my department has the worst webpages and you can never find the news updates you need.

unserious one: "men's underwear early 1900s Europe"

Last song: The Sinner in Me by Depeche Mode.

Currently Watching: Last night I finished Twins of Evil with Peter Cushing, which had more barely legal nudity than I wanted. My maximum for this is 0. Peter, as always, is amazing, but I ended up fast forwarding through a lot of it. Next up, probably more Peter Cushing.

Currently Reading: Nothing but fanfic at the moment. I've got several I want to start, but while I'm writing, something else fun has to give.

Currently working on: professionally implementing an approved research proposal; funly, 4 fics with two so close to being finished.

Personal: working on endurance for running and adding back weight training days; also, prepping for the fall semester.

Last Google search query: serious one: [locally specific] 5k.

You wanna write create some fantasy creatures but don’t know where to start? Go check out some videos The Weird Creatures Earth has Had.

Want some inspiration for your Super Evil Villain’s Villanous Deeds?

Or maybe you want some weird locations to kick start your Fantasy World Terraforming?

Or maybe you need knowledge of bunches of historical places and cities and cultures?

But maybe you’re basing fantasy on the modern world?

Okay but lets say you want to start from the same inspiration as GRRM? (and part two!)

That’s just the stuff I could quickly grab. Things I’m subscribed to, that I know offhand. There is So. Much. Stuff. Online.
