Let Paimon Bite People

Still figuring out how'd I like to draw him. Stole a couple catalyst ideas from the other canon catalyst users. Isn't he adorable? My headcanon is that Polar Star can be transformed into any weapon, like a catalyst or a polearm, but often he just slings it on his back and uses his hydro weapons.

I’m gonna assume writers know whether or not their own works are ai because they either write them themselves or have ai write for them.

but as for readers (or writers who read other writers’ works), no, you can’t tell unless the writer themself says their works are ai generated. anything else is witch hunt, speculations and possibly wrongful accusations — all of which harm the writing community as much as ai does, if not more.

so if at any point you think an untagged work is ai and if that bothers you, quietly click away. but you can never know for sure based on vibes. because everything ai writes, a human writer does. that’s what ai was trained on and what it was trained to mimic.

every “ai telltale” is something humans write before, otherwise ai wouldn’t have been able to mimic it in the first place. because it needs human-made works to mimic on.

Spot art I did for @/_Cavalierious_ 's fic in the @transcenderzine

Go read the fic right here titled, Death of a Girl

Below are some extras for the illustration

childe, la signora, scaramouche, alrecchino, and now il dottore

and i just realized that every one of them has had the fatui motif woven somewhere into their boss themes, except il dottore

these themes have always been biographical in nature, and anyone who listens deeply can follow all of the major beats of a character's story, learning as they go how the character feels about those defining aspects of their past

so, with this understanding, it is extremely revealing how the fatui motif doesn't even get so much as an homage in dottore's theme

the harbingers never mattered to him, even though they saved him. their mission never impressed him, despite allowing him to pursue all of those discoveries that would have otherwise alluded him. why, it's likely that he never even considered himself to be part of their membership, only wearing the title like a mask because it provided the most convenient means to achieve his own ambitions.
