They really wanted there to be seven. It had a nice ring to it.

STOP. moment of gratitude for those precious times of breathing from your nostrils when you don't have a stuffy nose

Everyone who doesn't have a headache right now, stop right now for a moment and appreciate how good it is not to have a headache.

During the New Moon, cats all around Alliance Lake go pay their respects to the dead. Sometimes it's a vigil, some cats will bring flowers, stones, feathers, and other tributes to lay on the grave of the buried loved one.

Missingfoot keeps the memory of his best friend alive by telling stories and visiting Whitebelly's grave with Spottedshadow and Goldenpelt often.

Oh yeah the WC fandom is fucking insane.

There's a very popular fanartist who has an OC that's a villain and people were harassing her because her villain is a white cat in a clan of black cats, and she was bullied and abused by them for her fur color.

People were literally accusing her of being a racist because "The white cat is being abused by the black cats, the artist is clearly saying that black people are evil and violent and want to victimize white people!"

The artist literally based the dynamic on how crows will ostracize birds in their flock that have albinism and people were going, "Why did she have to do this story with cats? Why not just do it with crows? Kind of sus :/"

Like,,, hello? What? It's fine if the story is about birds, but if it's about cats, it's racist? How does that make any fucking sense.

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

[proship-culture-is]

proship culture is never posting a selfie or any identifying information on your blog even if you'd like to, because an anti with too much time on their hands might dig up some random post about a ship you've made years ago and decide to doxx you

just saw a fanfic on ao3 have a dedication for chatgpt... that section is meant for your horny perverted mutual who proofread your work, you violated sacred law and you will be torn apart and laid bare btw

[willgrahamscock]

anyways, if you feel the need to use ai to do your work for you, consider this: get a new hobby because this one isn't for you

[jerryiothy]

Consider this. Not everyone has that time, or energy. Again, I just don’t understand this whole thing of “effort is important”

if it were, capitalism wouldn’t work.

[willgrahamscock]

not to point out the obvious but capitalism doesn’t work or people would have the time and energy to sit down and put effort and even enjoy their hobbies?

ai gets trained on real people’s effort and most of these companies are stealing content that was posted online, for you to just sit there enter a shitty prompt and bam, you get a picture of a big titty girl with 8 fingers or a story that is made up of cliches and patterns.

answer me this what do you get out of doing nothing to achieve a mediocre result from ai when the joy of creating comes from the act of figuring it out and doing it yourself, honing your skills?

[willgrahamscock]

“Not everyone has the time or energy to” ok that’s a you problem my favorite author posted a 30k word chapter after their house burned down and then got the bubonic plague. ur just not built for it

[clottedcreamfudge]

My wife, who doesn't even go here: if you're not writing it yourself, why are you there?

[followthebluebell]

If someone didn't care enough to write it, why should I read it?

[nartothelar]

seriously!

happy twin day

I guess I'll also share it here... A design for Ingo when he finally gets out of Hisui and back to modern times. Not all that different or original, but I still wanted to do it as a future reference for myself at least.
