day 174

before I start, I want to clarify that I’ve only just started using ellipsus, so there may be things I don’t know or maybe things I got wrong? basically these are just what I experience so far since I began using it for the past couple days. so fyi I am definitely not an expert on how the platform works.

“what convinced me to move from google docs to ellipsus? / what makes it better than google docs?”

from what I hear people say, google docs apparently uses ai to 1. train their ai model 2. scan what you write — so that they can delete your works or ban your gmail account if their ai deems your works violated their terms of service, aka if your works are too explicit, if they’re smut or if they’re too taboo.

though I must say that I’ve never had any issues with google docs and I write a lot of smut, explicit, taboo fics on there. so this is entirely what I hear other people say. so I decide to move from it to ellipsus anyway because I don’t want to risk losing my works or my account.

so… “why ellipsus?”

as I’ve mentioned earlier, I don’t want to risk losing my works, or my gmail account, because google’s ai allegedly gets to decide what I can or cannot write.

from what I hear, ellipsus was built with the purpose of being 100% ai-free and 100% writer-friendly. so I believe my works are safer here.

“how’s ellipsus compared to google?”

so far I prefer ellipsus’s ui. it’s more convenient, easier to navigate, it has themes you can choose. it makes you feel less “writing is a job that you have to do” and more “writing is fun, look at all these themes and cool tools you can play with!”

that said, the only thing I have to adapt is that ellipsus blocks all autocorrect and text prediction. granted, I understand they do this because, unlike other platforms, ellipsus’s core is that you as a writer write everything yourself. I’m still used to google docs, and pretty much every other platform, where I can somewhat rely on autocorrect to fix my typos and text prediction to help me so that I don’t always have to type down every single letter of the word I want. but it’s no big deal. I can correct typos when I proofread my works, and it’s not like I rely on autocorrect and text prediction that much to begin with anyway.

“would I recommend ellipsus?”

The aesthetics and styling of the video are space androgyny at its finest. Janet’s shorter, edgier hair and heavy eyeliner... Michael’s cunty ass poses/ expressions combined with his commanding demeanor. Janet has just as much of a strong presence as Michael, and Michael isn’t taking on a performative hypermasculine role to show his power either. He does the same sharp poses as Janet while also serving long curls, lashes, and eyeshadow. He has this effortless confidence and attitude. Janet doesn’t try to be “soft” or “lady like” as society often demands for women. She grabs her titties, flips the camera off, and pretends to use a toilet standing up.

Lots of fierce screaming, guitar breaking, and futuristic cunt. It’s art that protests media scrutiny and refuses to conform to the personas expected of them. Also: they’re both wearing skin tight leather, crop tops, and do the most ionic dance break of all that time also awakened many things within me. Their unapologetic empowerment is legendary, especially since the industry demands so much of black artists to behave a certain way. Even though it’s in black and white, the message and impact are quite loud. Truly the video of all time.

Do people not realize that immature shippers don't like when any character gets in the way of their ship, regardless of gender combination?

Just as an example, Cloud/Tifa vs Cloud/Aerith is one of the most infamous shipping wars of all time. Another infamous shipping war is Kataang vs Zutara. One that continues to this very day, which shocks me.

And the Suletta/Miorine shippers, before The Witch from Mercury ended, tended to hate any male character they thought might get "in the way" of the main pairing.

So needless to say, I find it rather odd that M/M shippers get singled out for this when it's not a phenomenon exclusive to them by any means.
