Reblog if you're a writer who doesn't use AI.

I have never used AI and I never will.

Never used AI. Never will.

Never have, never will. I write my own words by my own self, as I always have and I will NEVER allow my words to be fed into that fecking Plaigarism Bot so long as I fecking live and for 75 damn years afterwards.

Jesus wouldn't be shipped with Judas ANY damn way. Jesus was in a polyamorous triad with John the Beloved and Mary Magdalene. I thought EVERYONE knew about that. For crying out loud. It's in John's NAME after all. "John, whom Jesus loved". And in Mary's case, if you look at the original sources, the speculation is that the wedding where Jesus turned the water into wine was actually *his* marriage to Mary. There's a line in one of the Apocrypha about him kissing her on the lips.

All this. I argue with multiple choice questions and "rate your response on a scale of" questions ALL THE DAMN TIME. Like, there's NUANCE to some of these circumstances.

Slowly being pushed to the edge of the bed by my 10lb dog.

I pushed her back into the center of the bed to reclaim some space and she gave the loudest most annoyed sigh, like “great, now I’ve got to start over again.”

Once more being slowly pushed to the edge of the bed by my 10lb dog.

The people who don't ever even CONSIDER, just, not letting the dog on the bed in the first place have no reason to complain when said dog hogs the bed, even the tiniest titch of a dog will endevour to expand to encompass the entire surface, OP, I have to ask, WHAT exactly did you expect?

To get pushed to the edge of the bed by my 10lb dog.

This is why I taught my 10lb furbaby to lay across my ribcage when we slept. She got to be as close to me as possible AND I wasn't pushed off the bed at night.

@jennyislander? possibly @madgastronomer or @ms-demeanor?

I have been using LibreOffice and OpenOffice for like fifteen years, which includes when I was on Mac. I've used it for RTF files with no problems many times. What difficulties are you having?

I wish you all the luck with it!

Artists are of course allowed to have preferences, but there comes a point where an artist's erotic body of work gets to be concerningly cisgender. I'll be going through their archives like, okay, in twenty years and two thousand pieces you've literally never drawn a guy with a pussy or a girl with a dick? Not even once?

Meanwhile, I'm over here as a writer and the characters of mine that DON'T manage to straddle the biological sexuality boundary run few and far between. The rampant existence of body-modifying magics mean that there are a LOT of characters that might start out cisgender... and they might still PRESENT as such... but that doesn't always mean that it matches what's in their pants.

Grand Old Boars can of course cast spells as a 17th level sorcerer

As an aside, I happen to really *like* the word "gruntling" for an infant pig. Something in that word just feels right.

If you had to sing a child to sleep RIGHT NOW what would you sing and it CANT BE a lullaby it has to be a regular song

Depending on whether I could remember it in the moment? Hymn of the Fayth from FFX. Bonus points for working without needing to remember words 'cause it's all about the melody.

I like how half the suggestions for Damian are just “give Bruce a heretofore-unmentioned nephew and damn the logistics”, and the other half are stuff that would be even more objectionable by 1960s broadcast television standards than Bruce having a kid out of wedlock.

Not a nephew. There'd be arguments about where that sibling WAS when Bruce was a very young orphan. A recently orphaned *cousin*, though, from an estranged sibling of one of his *parents* on the other hand, is much more feasible. Everyone knows someone with Estranged Family.

ao3 comments will be like “i like this line of your fic” and my reply will be like “fantastic thank you here’s my entire thought process about how i ended up with that particular line and also an outline for another fic i have and fifteen resources i used to research 1980s politics” and nobody asked for that chill

i asked for that

No we 100% asked for that.

Definitely asked for that, and also here’s the other three dozen lines from your fic that I liked and the outline for the fic they inspired me to write plus some extra character meta that at this point is only tangentially related to your fic but was definitely inspired by those 1980s politics resources and -

Yep.

This is literally how I made most of my fandom besties.

The only thing I love more than getting comments like that (and they ARE one of my favourite kind of comments ever because bestie I got lore in every line and it feels good as headpats), is getting a reply to a comment like that which I’ve made on someone else’s fic. If I liked the line so much I was compelled by the forces of screaming uncontrollably in the enclosure to comment about it, I WANNA KNOW. I WILL EAT. SERVE ME THE DESSERT.

In my experience, the possibility that he repeatedly did it by accident isn't terribly unlikely. There are a lot of authors who really are just trying to write about how humanity inherently sucks, but their view of humanity is so parochial that they genuinely can't tell the difference between "human nature" and "American popular culture", so they end up writing an indictment of the latter without ever meaning to.

It's also notable that none of the Fallout games were a one-man-job. Just because someone at the helm doesn't know where he's going doesn't mean no one's navigating.

I need this NAO!!! The whole pan, in front of me, gimme the spoon. I don't EVEN care. I NEED IT!!!

you ever get a comment that makes you want to reread your fic ?? it’s like ‘dang u liked it that much?? lemme go look’

Why you gotta come at me like this? What did I ever do to you to deserve such a cruel callout? I try to be nice to people. I try to be compassionate and understanding and accepting and here you are, calling me out with such a cruelly personal attack...

Having your main anxiety response be Avoidance is crazy cause you'll think you're chillin and then one day you're like waitttt I've been paralyzed with fear this whole time. Damn

Was anybody else playing dead the whole time they were teenagers or is that just a me problem. Like I'm 20 now and I'm like Oh shit I didn't do anything. Because I'm scared

Yup, my whole life, in fact. And now I'm damn near 50 and have accomplished exactly nothing except, somehow, fighting off Death 'cause I'm not done here. (She graciously let me dive out of the boat and swim back to shore.) It bothers me like you wouldn't believe. I have stories to write... and yet I can't seem to find the damn words.
