anyways. my final thoughts on the ai thing is that if you've used ai for fanfic writing, you can just stop. if youre genuinely just someone who's using it as a tool bc youve gotten used to it, its not too late to stop. I guarantee you that your writing will be better and all AI is teaching you is now how to write like AI. u need to learn how to write like u. and if you look, you Can find people in fandom to help you. theres someone who can help you proofread your fic, or tinker with your sentences. someone to help you with code. someone to help u find the answers to all your hockey questions. and itll be more fun this way

I’ve gotten sooooo spoiled by Murderbot Diaries fandom. TMBD fandom if you have a cool idea about SecUnit physiology or Preservation planetary worldbuilding or Corporation Rim political organization people are generally willing to go “oh cool! That’s a neat idea.” I s2g every time I post about Project Hail Mary and Eridian worldbuilding ideas I get someone going “um sweaty Andy Weir said that Erid has no problems and Eridians are perfect and anyway we don’t know how Erid works so your idea is wrong” yeah that’s why it’s called fanwork

Listen I love Andy Weir's writing as much as the next person but I think we can all agree that he just didn't put that much thought into building Erid at all. I'm pretty sure that he knows exactly as much about the place as he thought absolutely necessary to put on the page to make them seem sufficiently alien-like. "He didn't write about their complex social problems" no shit the story wasn't about that. I firmly believe that Andy Weir has no clue whatsoever about how Eridian resource distribution works or the details of how their clusters operate beyond 'seminar that's also sort of a hivemind and Reaches A Decision' or how social roles and social status operate or anything. Eridian problems being absent from the story doesn't mean 'Erid is a utopia', it means 'this story is not about Erid'.

not even joking this is one of the worst possible changes that i could've reasonably conceived of to happen to video games.

”university is turning all of our beautiful girls into UGLY transgenders!” I ☝🏾 for one ☝🏾 think it’s super fucking awesome that these guys are moving out after being held in such a tight chokehold for the majority of their developmental years and finally getting to taste freedom for the first time in their lives. and I think it’s even MORE fucking awesome that the first thing they do upon tasting said freedom is turn into men. Good for them!

important reminder that most people you follow online are significantly lamer than you think they are including me. and if you feel insecure comparing yourself to someone online: DON'T. theyre probably also lame and weird. most people on the internet are

EVERYONE STOP TELLING ME HOW OLD YOU WERE IN 2008 I DONT WANNA HEAR THAT SHIT

preschool. I meant preschool.

[ID: a screenshot of a comic speech bubble. The black text in it reads "No matter how open-minded, socially conscious, anti-racist I think I am, I still have old learned hidden biases that I need to examine. It is my responsibility to check myself daily for my stereotypes, prejudices and, ultimately, discrimination." /ID end]

antiracism is a constant process. i was raised in a racist village and it's not easy to get rid of it. i moved away over 10 years ago but those ideas are still haunting me.
