don’t you ever forget my WORTHLESS PRIDE

Liam and Theo, part two

Hello Tumblr! My name is Irissa Cisternino, and I'm a PhD candidate recruiting research participants for my doctoral dissertation study on fandom & generative AI!

I'm interested in understanding fans' perspectives on and experiences with generative AI (text and image generation software). That means perceptions both positive and negative! However you feel about genAI, I'm interested in hearing from you.

[EDIT 2/13/24: fixed one small error; if you filled out the survey in the last hour and responded "yes" to being contacted for an interview but there was no option to put your email in, please email the research team directly if you'd like to schedule an interview! This has been corrected now.]

If you're over 18, can speak/understand English, and are interested in participating you can learn more information and take the survey here. I've also made a FAQ post about the study that I've pinned to the top of the blog, and you can see more info on the shareable flyer below:

Feel free to reach out via dm or email (email address is on the flyer!) with any questions! The study is anonymous and voluntary, and you'll be asked about your fandom background, attitudes towards generative AI, and demographic information. The survey should take about 15-20 minutes, and you can skip over any questions you want. You can also elect to participate in a follow up interview, if you want to. The full details are on the consent form, which you'll be able to read before taking the survey!

I signed up earlier this year for the @summerdaze-bkdkbkreversebang event, and drew two pieces. Here is one of the drawings, which is a sort of regency/secret admirer AU. I got paired up with the incredible @maqnusbae (popcornpearl on Twitter), and it's been fantastic working with them! The things they shared with me has been fantastic and I can't wait for you all to see what we've come up with!

Part 1 Part 2

More Quirkless!Izuku + ProHero!Katsuki Recs:

1. six degrees of separation by gravitates

gravitates never misses with this trope! this one hurt so good T.T It is angst with a happy ending though so everything will work out dw! Anyone who has been in an LDR, you will probably relate ;-;

2. homecoming by gravitates

this one has some cw for self-harm and suicidal ideation so make sure to check the tags before you dive in. That aside, beautifully done, as always <3 bit more of a slow burn but it pays off in the end

3. orange chrysanthemums for love by gravitates

Beautiful, bittersweet but hopeful! Also we love a Kacchan who's manly enough to go to therapy <3

AU/Canon Divergence Recs:

4. Of What ifs and time machines by Maru_Chan

I happen to be a sucker for time travel AUs so I definitely enjoyed this one. Check it out if you like the premise!^^

5. (chemical) equilibrium by aspyshoto

cw for bullying and homophobia ;-; it's a refreshing take though, and a satisfying journey to see these boys bridge the gap between them and come together in the end. also smut warning for the end

6. Come Straight for My Heart by archivedthoughts
