Lumine: You know what's the hottest thing a Harbinger can do, Doctor?

Dottore (Interested): Mhm?

Lumine: Leave the fatui, become playable and let me pull them during their first banner <3

Dottore: 😐

Dottore: Would you still love me if I were a worm? Pantalone: I consider myself to be a reputable partner, but, even so...

Dottore: What if I were a lizard? Would that be better? Pantalone: Really, Zandik. I hardly see a point to this line of questioning. Would you like me to say I'll build you an terrarium filled with tiny little insects for you to perform experiments on?

Dottore: Hm, acceptable. I'll hold you to it. Pantalone: You do say the strangest things sometimes. Hundreds of years later, Pantalone begins renovating his office to fit an elaborate reptile enclosure after taking a mysterious trip to Sumeru.

Haikavetham and Dottolone have the same secret ingredient that makes people love them: pushback.

It's the back and forth, the subtle competitiveness, the way both parties can dish it and take it. There's affection in there somewhere but it's covered with layers of history and complications. Both of them have people questioning why they'd hang around each other in the first place.

The difference is; Kaveh and Alhaitham are in a slice of life, second chance story. Their hearts know the truth. It's just a matter of walking through life side-by-side and growing into each other.

Whereas Dottore and Pantalone are attached at the hip through a series of debts and favours. Yet, their relationship is probably more genuine than 90% of what goes on within the Fatui. Their affection for one another seems to grow stronger with every contract and deal.

During the quest I love how Pantalone is insinsistent on Dottore's humanity. Dottore always viewed himself as a monster wearing human skin but Pantalone has seen all of Dottore. The good and the bad and despite all Dottore's evil deeds he sees Dottore for what he is. Human.

Omega being a segment of the original Dottore makes him feel more disconected from being a human. He says that he is Dottore. Not Zandik. Seperating himself from the original.

But clearly he still sees himself as Zandik. For example we see he signs using that name. He even admits he is Zandik at times. He sees himself as Zandik but he walks around fully admitting it. For him Zandik represents being human. He struggles with his humanity and identity just in a different way then the other Dottore's did.

But in the end when Dottore is dying Pantalone asks him what he would like to be called. Pantalone will use whatever name he wishes. Dottore gives Pantalone the choice and Dottore says goodbye using Pantalone's real name. He sees Pantalone as human so of course he uses his name and Pantalone as someone who sees Dottore as human uses his real name in response.

They see each other for who they truly are and they wanted to show that to each other. Thats why Pantalone gives him the choice.

And when Dottore is talking to Nahida he finally admits what none of the other Dottore's could and sturggled with. That he is human.

“how to recognize AI in fanfic” — hey so this is another not-gentle reminder that AI stole from us. it’s using OUR words and OUR sentences and OUR styles.

writing “long” paragraphs is not a sign of AI — it’s a common narrative choice many writers make both in fanfiction and in traditionally published novels, and AI stole it from us.

using an em dash is not a sign of AI. it’s a stylistic sentence choice that’s been an option in place of commas and semicolons for a very long time, and AI stole it from us.

long sentence structures are not a sign of AI, but are yet another stylistic choice writers often make to create a cadence and tone that mimics the flow of poetry, and AI stole it from us.

“YA narrative breaks”? i don’t even know what the fuck this means, but i can guarantee that AI stole it from us.

italics are once again a stylistic choice that many writers love to use to create emphasis, and it’s a more stylistically acceptable and traditional form of emphasis than bold or underline text. oh, and just to be extra clear: AI STOLE IT FROM US.

stop creating fandom witch hunts over AI when you know fuck all about what it means to sit and write a story, and to spend hours fiddling with sentence structure and dialogue to get the exact right tone. writers will stop writing out of fear that their work “sounds like AI” — IT DOESNT! AI STOLE FROM US! AI SOUNDS LIKE US! — and after a while, all that will be available on AO3 is shitty AI-generated fanfiction.

because yeah, people are going to continue to use AI to write fanfiction whether you “call them out” or not. but making a laughable thread on X that uses asinine criteria is not going to fix that problem. it will just push the real writers out because people will accuse them of using AI when they haven’t, and they will (rightfully) stop writing for spaces that attack them.

anyway. fuck ai.

totallyjustabunchofhocuspocus

I can definitively prove that every single "marker" of AI has been present in my writing since the year of our Lord nineteen fucking ninety seven. Fuck AI.

I love how Dottolumi content it's a spectrum from the most wholesome, cute domestic scenarios of them being the most clingy and sweet couple that cuddles at night like kittens sleeping next to each other, to the unhealthiest, violent and most toxic marriage you had ever laid your eyes on where they're in constant war and their psychologists are begging them to divorce but they would rather put poison on each other's drink, and I'm eating it all.
