If you don't want to request, make a post with the idea.

If you don't want to make a post, do not feed it into a machine and share the results like it's your work.

I have seen so many AI fics today. So. Many.

Here's the thing about AI. It doesn't know what gender a character is. It doesn't understand work shifts and how they function. It doesn't know the name of the hospital. And it doesn't know how many words are in a sentence apparently given the number of times I've seen "i love you" 'those five words meant everything' or the like.

And I don't want to bitch about it. I really don't but it's so goddamned disheartening. The amount of work put into creating is immense. Using AI just says that work doesn't matter.

Shit like this, and people stealing stuff, is why creators stop creating.

Telling creators they're "guilt tripping" people when they point out that tumblr was made for reblogging, is why creators stop creating.

Anonymous hate is why creators stop creating.

Commenting fandom discourse on people's work is why people stop creating.

afaik there’s no proof of this other than some tenuous extrapolation based on his family having registered as republican pre-trump era (which like… mass repub are gen nawwt maga, see eg m*tt romney famous rino).

but much more importantly: the cardinal sin of hrpf is EVER falling for the propaganda that a hockey player is a good person!!! listen. PLEASE. for your own sanity. the stripper does not love you. in fact the stripper barely sees you as a person, not necessarily bc they’re consciously racist or sexist or homophobic but bc they’ve never once interacted w anyone outside their tiny hockey bubble which is wildly insular and homogenous and heavily, heavily punishes nonconformity.

probably one of the most annoying and dogshit takes i see more often than id like to. i hate complaining how much mental and emotional labor it has been to do all this paperwork and do it accurately and swiftly and their response is, "well can you blame them?" admittedly im not the idea guy who comes up with a better process for this shit but certainly, certainly someone could make it friendly to us folks who barely have the means to take a fucking shower. i just spent 3 hours filling out paperwork that asked me to fill out 1) information they have admitted to me they already fucking have and 2) justifying whats so wrong with me that i deserve special attention.

do not tell me you understand this process being so rough is literally killing disabled folks and then defend it against a hypothetical straw man to be wary of in the same breath. people with real, recordable disabilities are getting denied access to this help and you think someone who DOESN'T have miles of medical records to prove said disability is going through the time, energy, and years it takes to fight for it? you really fucking think someone cares that much about getting government support that barely funds jack shit and all?

i’m hoping to move this summer so i posted in a facebook group to try to find a roommate.

just made a standard post like the others i’ve seen. what i’m looking for, some stuff about me, some photos, etc.

one person commented “cooked 💀” and another commented “no” and something about “straight pride”

i know i shouldn’t let it get to me. they’re randos on the internet. but it did get to me. and i’m fucking upset. it’s a post searching for fucking roommates. there’s literally absolutely no reason at all to comment anything mean or homophobic bullshit.

I also can't believe I'm 25, it's so strange to me how time passes. I'm definitely looking forward to my thirties, though. I intend to become the sort of person who just cannot be bothered with other people's judgemental opinions. Alas, not yet.

I'm not actually sure what you mean by "I post like I'm 14"? Are you referring to my genre of interests? My joy and whimsy? My strong opinions? Could be anything!

Anyway, you're the one who showed up to my inbox and my blog. Nobody asked you to come here. You can move right along. Why are you so pressed about my posting habits, random anonymous stranger?

My tumblr blogging choices aren't actually about you –or really any of your particular business– so I don't see why you feel the need to comment on it!

I may be "annoying" (and really, am I supposed to feel insulted? I don't even know you, why should I care about your opinion of me?) but I'm not the one showing up to other people's inboxes to spread negativity for no reason. So maybe you should grow up, and start chosing to make the world a better place instead of being rude to internet strangers anonymously (real brave there, champ).

I choose to be a whimsical creature who prioritizes fun and joy and kindness. If that's "annoying" to you then maybe you should consider why that bothers you so much.

Being negative is not maturity, being judgemental is not maturity, lacking any real passion about your interests is not maturity; it's just sad.

I may be cringe but I am free. And if you're bothered by my general disposition then it's on you to regulate your experience by going anywhere else. I don't exist to cater to you. If my blogging bothers you, there's the fucking door, friend.

The block button exists. Use it if you must but either way your feelings of annoyance are not my responsibility. My life is simply not about you, get over yourself, please and thank you.

And since you've set out to be petty for no reason let me just say: learn to spell and punctuate your sentences if you're going to be throwing shade unprovoked because some people are less polite than I am and you may just find yourself viciously roasted someday. Just some friendly advice from someone with the self-restraint to keep my unsolicited opinions to myself.

I may sound harsh right now (especially lacking any context about the exact conversation between Rose and Jade) but any choices she would have made with Jane, Kanaya or a 3th option the only plausible solution to not be abused by the public is to literary isolate Yiffy.

Like, tell me how would you have done this, to hide the dog part of Yiffy without being in some way abusive to her even without meaning too.

Jane, while showing out right physical abuse towards Yiffy after her deal with Jade is done when she saw Tavvy supposedly being kidnapped by the rebellion, I wouldn't be surprised if she showed hostility towards her by being verbally abusive so no one will figure it out, or she did something in the system so Yiffy will be discriminated against without anyone reporting anything.

Kanaya while she would have accepted the surrogacy and help in Yiffy being kept out of the spotlight (stated in beyond canon), I'll give Jade the word her because without Jane control, Yiffy would have been discovered way sooner then she already was in the comic (tho that was do to Jane being selfish). So yeah she would have suffered most likely like Jade did.

And if we take into consideration Dave, Jake, Karkat or any other possibility available, it will either break Jade image of the perfect life, would not be as efficient or she would have run into the problem of association with the enemy of your "friend".

And the best case solution for Yiffy is to isolate her from the world which is Jade NIGHTMARE!!!

And all circles back to Jade making a selfish decision, this one I'll not argue, what she did was selfish having a child with your married friend/sister of your husband which by the way express NOT wanting to have any children out of fear of fucking them up (which what she did), destroying not one, not two, four fucking relationship!!!

Dave and Karkat situationship (by trying to force a polycule and not working)

Rose and Kanaya marriage (by having a baby with Rose and not consulting Kanaya about how she is FEELING)

Her and Dave marriage (having a luck luster marriage and possibly cheating on Dave with Rose and Having a kid to represent their marriage which as I mentioned he didn't want to)

And what I can possibly speculate as straining her relationship with her daughter by being overly clingy and try to relay all her emotional support on her.

Truly makes me bang my head on the wall and yell. THATS WAY DAVE SAID HE DIDN'T WANT CHILDREN, THAT'S WHY EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T WANT CHILDREN SAY THEY DON'T, KIDS ARE NOT OBJECT TO MAKE US HAPPY THEY ARE PEOPLE WHO WILL GROW IN TO ADULTS.
