There’s a strict deadline to find or escape Whumper and Whumpee’s the only one who can give them enough details about them to ensure a victory.

Medic whumpees having to explain to the rest of their team how to treat their wounds because they’re far too injured to do it themselves but the team have no medical experience.

Powerful whumpees being the only person capable on the team of taking down the enemy, even though they’re severely injured.

Caretakers injured on a rescue mission that just have to keep pushing through because what Whumpee’s going through is infinitely more painful than this.

Magic whumpees being the only ones who know a certain spell or ability having to perform it even though it’ll likely exacerbate their injuries further.

Whumpee’s already extremely wounded and traumatised, but they still have to be used as bait to lure Whumper into a trap because there’s no other solution to capturing them. Everyone worries that if their plan went South, Whumpee wouldn’t be strong enough to fight back.

Four years on procreate… and I didn’t see the colour burn option… I… I spent the last few months going “Oh wouldn’t it be great if Procreate had colour burn?”.

hey so. don’t do this.

“coming from a place of respect” there is nothing respectful about a comment like this. this is exactly why I say witch hunt, speculations and accusations harm the writing community as much as ai does, if not more.

I am not saying “you’re an asshole if you think a fic is ai”. I have come across fics that I believe were ai-generated. but instead of asking (accusing) the authors, I make my own decisions whether I’ll continue reading for the benefit of the doubt or quietly exit the fics and look for something else to read.

because with every accusation like this, there’s always a chance of a genuine, innocent writer getting wrongly accused.

last but not least, fanfic writers do NOT owe you anything. they write for themselves and their own enjoyment. their ao3 accounts are their houses and they were kind enough to let you in their houses. for free. (you get to read things for free.) you don’t go into other people’s houses and tell them “actually I think the way you decorate your room is sus. did you actually do it yourself or did you ask a robot to do it for you?”. THEY 👏🏻 DON’T 👏🏻 OWE 👏🏻 YOU 👏🏻 ANYTHING. and I say this as someone who is not a fan of ai fics. if you don’t like what you’re seeing, quietly leave.

Fun fact about this scene! It's actually fully supervised by Asagiri, i'm not sure how much he's involved because in official English translation it sounds like he just proof read it, but in chinese translation it sounds like he instructed them, i'll need to find the original to know
