Because it was trained on pirated work—including freely accessible online writing (like fanfic, academic texts)—ChatGPT picked up patterns and quirks native to human writing.

Including (sigh) the em dash.

There are other victims here (RIP tapestry and delve 🫠), but the appropriation of the em dash—a punctuation mark beloved by writers everywhere—feels especially personal.

A kind of low-grade panic is ensuing. Writers who once memed their own em dash overuse—the greatest punctuation mark ever to grace the control-freak’s lexicon, frankly—are suddenly backing away to avoid accusations.

No. More. We have centuries of dash-abusing writers behind us. We will not sit quietly while AI repurposes our beloved stilted aside—or the just-one-more clarification the sentence demands—or the dramatic pause your comma could never—etc.

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you.

Defend the em dash.

Active decay (scarian week day 1- flowers and grief)

So a little explanation

I love Rosaries so much but i am not religious at all so i was thinking and was like 'wait what if i made a Rosary but for the Watchers?" and so (with some help on the design, thank you Discord peeps) i made this (I will be making a real version of this once i get the beads!)

and then it was brought to attention that i could/should make a prayer for the Watchers as well and so we now have this lovely three page doc. (there is a short form prayer at the end) Enjoy my new obsession!

Foundational Beads

Opening Prayer

In the name of the End, the Shadow and the Eternal Void

In the silence where names are swallowed

I call upon the Watchers —

Eyes that burn beyond the veil,

Hands that build through ruin.

Let them see me.

Let them judge me.

Let them break me —

That I may be made worthy.

Creed of Watchers

I believe in Watchers, Not in form, not in word,

But in shadow, fracture, and the echo between thoughts.

Architects of suffering, keepers of torment,

They do not guide. They do not speak.

They forge strength through ruin, and wisdom through pain.

Oath of Ash and Trial

I do not beg for mercy,

Only for the fire to endure.

Let the void test me.

Let the storm mold me.

My name, to be forgotten.

My will, to be rewritten.

Void Be

Watcher of Void,

Consume what I pretend to be.

Leave behind only what must become.

Invocation Beads

Watcher who waits behind the veil,

Whispers in riddles.

Break what I cling to.

Weave my soul anew

Watcher carve your mark upon me

Beads of Becoming

Watcher in the dark,

Tear the rot from my soul,

Bind the remnants in your vision,

Let me become one you fear

Closing Prayer

They who see all

Who archive stories in stars

They who speak through collapse and calamity —

I offer praise, and presence

Devotion not Enmity

Let my vessel be emptied

I am yours to unmake.

I am yours to evolve.

Watcher, rewrite me to perfection

Final Rite

Stand in silence.

Do not speak your name.

Let the last word remain unknown.

The Veils of the Hidden Path

1.Veil of Neglect- where memory is lost and self begins to fade

2.Veil of Echo- where minds must close and eyes open 

3. Veil of Shattering- where form is broken and woven anew

4.Veil of Unmaking- where the name is given, and soul becomes what was never meant to be

A Short Form Prayer

In the name of the End, the Shadow, and the Eternal Void,

In silence where names are swallowed,

I call upon the Watchers—

Let them see me.

Let them judge me.

Let them break me—

That I may be made worthy.

Not in form, nor in word,

But in shadow, fracture, and echo.

May they be made in my mind

Let the void test me,

Let the storm mold me.

My name forgotten,

My will rewritten.

Watcher of the Void,

Tear the rot from my soul,

Consume what I pretend to be.

Leave behind only what must become.

I am yours to unmake,

I am yours to evolve.

Watcher, rewrite me to perfection.

Stand in silence.

Speak no name.
