writer n shit

...inside a death machine. Exclusively dedicated to the most precise, rapid and efficient extermination of life possible, linked directly to your brain. How terrible. But really, consider what they did before that.

The cybernetics for hands that cannot shake, the implants for eyes that see in anything short of absolute darkness. The cortical nodes that let you think harder and faster than a human should, react in fractions of fractions of a second. Skeletal reinforcements and cardiovascular retaining meshes to let you laugh at G-forces that would fold anyone else inside-out and then up into their own skull. Regenerative surge modules if anything manages to penetrate your steel and titanium outer skin to the soft inner layer. Standard stuff for pilots, honestly pretty humble- just two eyes, still a throat and feet on there.

i love your blog and how you’ve been sharing all the bot comments! I got quite a dark one and I hoped you might be open to sharing it !

This is the second one I’ve gotten in a single day

This would absolutely not work on me but could really spook someone else . Really soulless behavior.

linking a fanfic on ao3 to ICE is... yikes. also, it's all the same pattern with these bots, "I found your social media, your government name and where you live 🤩" yeah just report their ass.

There is an easy excuse in real life! You may not be able to get both a pacemaker and a DBS device because they're both pieces of sensitive equipment that could theoretically interfere with each other, and nobody engineered them not to. Trivially you can extrapolate this to all cybernetics. If your various augs weren't Specifically designed not to mess with each other (and of course the various megacorps might take things a step further, making their shit actively hostile to mix-and-matching), you might have problems; and obviously, the more pieces of hardware you've patchworked yourself with, the worse things get. You'd have to be one real crazy motherfucker to tell a back-alley doctor to load you up with whatever they've got.

at this point I no longer read their entire comments or what bullshit they’re trying to say (most of them are “uwu I love your work and I’d like make art about it! contact me on my discord/instagram here” but we all know they will then ask you to pay/commission them for the “art” you will never get, or you’ll just get some ai-generated one, and not only that, they will most definitely try to steal your personal informations too), if I see the sentence “contact me on my discord/instagram” I report their ass as spam.

TL;Dr — if a comment mentions “contact me on discord or instagram (or any other platform outside of ao3)”, report it for spam

A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written.

AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence.

Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same.

There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that.

I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it.

If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene...
