We're Not Weird, We're Eccentric

Bludgeoned by a mangaka

with a magical girl staff

and thrown through a window

from twenty-five stories up

What a way to go

In romaji it says: Sonokata o hottoite kudasai.-Sō shinai to, buttobashimasu.

Translated, it roughly means: Leave that person alone. If you don't, I'll fucking kill you.

some of y’all will be engaging in witch hunt, accusing writers left and right and then wondering why more and more writers take their works down and don’t share them with you ungrateful losers anymore.

“this fic looks like it was created by ai” yeah that’s because ai was trained on human-made works and it was trained to mimic human-made works.

you claim you hate ai because ai harms real artists, yet you are out there accusing and harassing artists because “their vibes just aren’t right”. at this point, you are the ones who cause more harm — to art and the writing community — than ai does.

you are the ones killing art and writing community, the community you want to “protect against ai”.

so at this point, you’re killing the community faster than ai is. good luck when the community you want to protect has no human-made work left because you accused and harassed genuine artists/writers away and the only things that are left for you to read are actual ai-generated fics.

A distinctive personal feature or quirk. IE, "Have you noticed how that new guy is always eating bell peppers?" = "Peppers", or "That chick has a massive forehead" = "Forehead".

An embarrassing thing you said or did. IE, "Did you seriously call Dale "Dad"?" = "Junior", "Baby boy", "Sport"

Irony. IE, calling a tall person "short stack" or a particularly dour person "sunshine".

A batman-style origin story but not in a cool way: "One time she hit a deer with the company car and when she called the boss to tell her she was crying so hard we thought she was dying" = "Bambi"

The incredibly rare 'admiration' nickname, bourne only once a millennia under the light of the blood moon: "We saw him lift a truck once so now we call him 'iron man'"

+ How Nicknames Stick:

Your fate is determined by The Counsel

You hate it

Turns out it’s herding cats. Half of them are on fire, and the other half are narrative choices I don’t remember making.

I can see into a myriad of possibilities

Many of them too outlandish or extreme to expect would happen

And yet

This is the reality that the future has collapsed into

Truly

He wasn't.

So passes Eleanor.
