soooo... this chapter of ttmd;ttms healed something in me I didn't even know needed healing

I didn't really finish Super Soaker because personally it was not my cup of tea, but I feel like I just need to say one tiny little thing before moving on with my life...

I understand and I agree with everyone that somehow felt betrayed by the author. I also agree that AI should stay out of fandom spaces, we should be critical of it.

Having that said: I must urge you to be careful with your reactions. I'm not on X, only on Tumblr and on Tiktok, but I suppose the comments online have been increasingly heated throughout the day over all of these platforms. I've read some pretty extreme ones.

Even though Super Soaker (and some other fanfics I found) are very likely AI generated, there are still real people behind it. Claude AI is not posting that stuff on AO3 on its own. The real people behind it made a mistake, and I think we can criticize them without being mean. I worry we're turning this into a witch hunt, specially because these authors caught using AI are deep in the fandom environment, they're probably reading every single thing being said.

We must be critical, not harmful. Be careful, always 💛💙

Max: "So you simply never bothered to speak to Will about any of this?"

Mike: "Had I had the opportunity to, I would have. In fact-"

Max: "You had every opportunity! For years! Admit it: you've been smitten with Will ever since he first came to Hawkins and agreed to be your friend on the swings! There have been countless clues! And you certainly can't deny you were beguiled by him at dance practice, even though it turns out you were secretely courting a mystery debutante, who you had the temerity to step out with at the fair with no word of warning. Then you show up at Lover's Lake after exams, demand to know how Will feels about you, and give him all of 30 seconds to decide his entire future! And worst of all, you callously ignored Will's letter, even though he told you he loved you-"

Mike: "What letter? Max, what letter?!"

ABSOLUTE CINEMA

[lycheeeejelly]

MIKE WAS LITERALLY LEANING IN

[alwaysintobyler]

this scene has its own soundtrack ever since that edit was created

[alwaysintobyler]

still not over the buzz i felt reading chapter 14 of ttmd;ttms

[whatmakesgreen]

MIKE THINK ABOUT THAT FOR TWO MORE SECONDS

[alwaysintobyler]

no but seriously though this is so sad that his mind goes to the worst possible conclusion, which is "i'm greedy and i'm never satisfied". like booooy, you're not greedy, you're in loveeeeee!!! wake up, sunshine!!!!

[alwaysintobyler]

me: there's only one certainty in life.

you: death?

me: no, Mike Wheeler opening his mouth and somehow finding the worst possible thing to say.

[alwaysintobyler]

can we stop for a moment and acknowledge thesweetestdream said they wake up every morning and write before going to work?

like sometimes we forget fanfic writers have actual lives and jobs and bills to pay... and they still find time to write. i'm so beyond grateful for their existence!

[alwaysintobyler]

I am so happy to live in a world chapter 14 of ttmd;ttms exists

[miwiheroes]
