i'm a big sucker for a diegetic piece of art/literature serving as a mirror to the story's characters, so naturally the illustration of the poem about a silverleaf tree falling in love with a star from chapter 47 of WHA *had* to be redrawn as Qifrey and Oru āØš
tip jar!
aaand a rotated version under the cut for easier Oru appreciation!

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
under 18, AI is a net positive
under 18, AI is a net negative
18-29, AI is a net positive
18-29, AI is a net negative
30-45, AI is a net positive
30-45, AI is a net negative
46-60, AI is a net positive
46-60, AI is a net negative
over 60, AI is a net postive
over 60, AI is a net negative
Question 2/3
How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?
Frequently (multiple times per month)
Often (multiple times per year)
Occasionally (a couple times per year)
Rarely (once every couple of years)
Never :(
Question 3/3
If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?
under 18, more inclined
under 18, less inclined
18-29, more inclined
18-29, less inclined
30-45, more inclined
30-45, less inclined
46-60, more inclined
46-60, less inclined
over 60, more inclined
over 60, less inclined
Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

I'm going to throw just a little nuance in here, based on that last question.
Generative AI being used to do things like develop exhibits, create marketing materials, etc.: bad. Do not want. I will not go to that museum.
Analytical, specialized AI used for research methods: totally fine with that. It's what AI SHOULD be used for. Counting cancer cells, identifying areas of interest in thousands of satellite photos, organizing mass amounts of data, etc. The sort of tedious mass tasks that are too extensive for humans to do on their own due to sheer volume.

"Fuck, Rozanov, did you send me a box of rocks?" Shane complained, holding his phone to his ear with his shoulder as he carried a package into his Montreal home.
"Yes," Ilya deadpanned from the other end of the line, so flatly that Shane could nearly hear him rolling his eyes. "Rocks from Boston beaches. A gift from me to you, Hollander."
Shane snorted. "Your beaches are rocky as shit. But what is it, really?"
"Yes, you need me to tell you, because you cannot...I don't know...open box and find out?"
Grumbling, Shane wrenched the tape off and opened the box, revealing what looked like some sort of bedding. "A...blanket?"
"Pick it up, solnyshko."
He let out a little grunt as he did so, taken off-guard by the weight. It wasn't heavy, especially for someone who regularly spent hours lifting weights in a state-of-the-art gym, but it was certainly not light and airy like a normal blanket, and Shane frowned as he flexed his arm, testing it. "It's...heavy."
"Yes. Twenty pounds. Internet said to do a little over ten percent of your weight," Ilya explained patiently, as if waiting for Shane's approval.
But Shane still wasn't sure what was happening. "Um..." he lifted the blanket completely out of the box, "what's it for, though? Besides, like, warming?"
Ilya chuckled. "Go sit on your couch and put it on your lap or around shoulders."
Feeling a bit silly, Shane obeyed again, gathering the slightly-stubborn blanket in his arms and plopping on the couch, spreading it on his lap.
Instantly, tension he hadn't realized was in his neck, his back, his shoulders, released. He let out a sigh of relief as he relaxed, body sinking into the cushions, eyelids fluttering a little. The stubborn ache that seemed to never fully leave the spot behind his eyes after a long day disappeared.Ā
"Fuck," he murmured, groaning. "That's..."
Quickly, he put his phone on speaker and cocooned himself in the blanket, smiling.
"Is good?" Ilya's voice asked, a smile in his tone.
"Yeah."
"Good. Teammate's son sometimes gets upset like you. When there is loud noise or bright lights. He said that this helps, so I sent it to you. I will get one for my house, too, and send one to cottage," the other man explained softly.
"You don't have-"
"I want to. You sound sleepy now, sweetheart. Go rest. Call me later."
"M'kay. Love you."
"You too, solnyshko."
Imagine with me now:
Ryland Grace: ok, if your alterations to the radio work, we should be in range of Erid soon so you can contact them
Rocky: of course fixes work! Rocky very smart, and very excited to talk to Adrian again!
Grace: I'll let you guys have a moment and to explain the situation while I check on the Talmoeba.
*connecting ping*
Rocky: ā« Hello! this is Rocky! Eridians there question? ā«
Adrian: ā« Mate Rocky returned home! home home home!!! so worried and now home! Oh Adrian have BIG surprise for mate when Rocky land. Why Rocky not land question? what ship is Rocky transmitting from question? signal not recognised as Eridian ship. ā«
Rocky: ā« Rocky also have BIG surprise for mate! it is why Rocky is calling from a different ship. Rocky found way to save star! But Rocky had help saving stars. Rocky met an alien! First alien! Amaze Amaze Amaze! He calls himself Grace, he is a Human from the Sol system. ā«
Adrian: ...
Rocky: ā« Friend Grace gave up going home to save Rocky. to save Erid. But human biology weird. Gross. will not survive on Erid unless home is made. It is why Rocky call first and not land. It will take time to build, Rocky and Friend Grace know, but Grace is savior of Erid! And first alien contact! Amaze! ā«
Adrian: ... ā« sooooo about that first alien contact thing. ā«
Rocky: ...
Adrian: ...
Rocky: ā« Mate also found human question? ā«
Adrian: ā« Adrian also find human, yes statement. About 6 years ago now. ā«
Rocky: ā« hmmmm FINE! Mate Adrian can have first contact title. Rocky still gets Star Savior title anyways. ā«
Adrian: ā«of course love. now, Adrian will send Rocky and Friend Grace coordinates where to land for Human Habitat and Adrian will introduce Friend Simon. ā«
I mean we probably should have seen this coming you gave me an easily aroace-interpreted highly likely touch starved probably ADHD man who somehow manages to win over project directors bodyguards dignitaries and aliens alike with his swagless cringefail slightly desperate yet somehow still charming rizz that lightens the air of every room he walks into because he learns everyone's names and gives credit to people for their contributions no matter how small and uses government funding to buy everyone on site their own bag of skittles as the world is ending while also maintaining a level of humility that is really just a window into how little he really thinks of his own abilities importance and himself in general to the point where he cries because he wishes he was more than he is and then you send him to space and gave him a genius engineer/inventor alien best friend with severe PTSD and survivors guilt who reached out first and got severely co-dependantly attached to him instantaneously due to how long he was isolated to the point where he prioritizes this man's comfort over his own literally making him an atmosphere he's safe in that is actively hostile to himself and then had them both individually almost die for each other save each other and then they save the literal stars because of the force of how much they care about each other and that relationship is platonic the whole time yet it's importance is never downplayed it's celebrated its the reason they succeed what did we expect to have happen this is my brand of everything

Did a little screenshot study and then turned it into a phone lockscreen.
and oh hey! you can use it as a phone lockscreen too!
I haven't seen anyone do this yet and I think it is a painful void in the Project Hail Mary fandom. Guys. Put Grace in a space ball on Erid and have him break down Rocky's door and roll around knocking things over. Cmon guys.
"Wow Rock you live like this? Junk all over the floor and parts everywhere? Very messy."
"Rocky is not enjoying Grace's games, Statement."
Red this time
my long lost husband returned from space obsessed with and devoted to some kind of extremely fragile alien blob. which is fine, i guess. building it a biodome was kind of fun at least.

the best fanfic is the one the author had fun writing actually.
the second best is the one the author used to work through some issues.
the third best is the one the author wrote out of spite due to some really dogshit discourse going on in their fandom
