If you don’t let go of your prejudices and past grudges, your heart won’t blossom. 2013 is coming, let’s make a change. We only have one planet so let’s show each other some kindness.

im realizing very fast that people do not in fact know that sometimes things in stories suck on purpose and it sucking is the point

Sometimes you get a brief glimpse into the American worldview and decide that you don't want to know.

I cannot stress enough that this meme is entirely literal. there's no reference or subtext you don't know. these are simply the objectively most popular works of art from each denomination.

You can notice certain telltale signs in some of the writing, such as short sentence stacking and usage of "not x not y but z" structures. But you have to be familiar with AI writing styles to be able to notice that.

As I saw someone say recently, when you start declaring "obvious tells," from punctuation to sentence styles, to be proof of AI, what you're actually spotting is trace amounts of the original source material.

another history making marvel post I never see anyone talk about is “so is nobody helping blade kill all those vampires”

There are many fun reasons to have a character avoid using guns, but I think "this otherwise-awesome fighter is a really terrible shot" is an underappreciated one. Yes, they're available in my setting and would work against my enemies. No, I don't have a moral code against them or a power that makes them redundant. I just can't aim for shit!

In general IMO the more badass and hypercompetent a character is, the more they're enriched by having one skill they're just absolutely hopeless at. Terrible shot, terrible liar, terrible dancer, no poker face, no sense of direction, can't drive, can't swim, can't cook, can't read, always broke, always late, always falls for a certain trick...

no nuance friday. i wish ai was a person who i could turn into a flea. a harmless, little flea. and then i’ll put that flea in a box, and then i’ll put that box inside of another box, and then i’ll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives i’ll smash it WITH a hammer!!

I was a phm movie fan first and I thought the aroace grace headcanon was because of how the movie is so much about friendship and unlike so many other pieces of media doesn't put a focus on romantic relationships and shows that you don't need that to be a complete person, but I just finished the book and, without spoilers, I gotta say, wow, there's so much more to this theory because grace really is just Like That

NO ONE GETS THEIR ASS BEAT IN A POLL LIKE GASTON
