Let me know if you want reader insert with name and ethnic/gender background.

If you have any questions before making a full request, please do feel free to ask, I only bite in fiction LOL.

Writing Resources to use instead of AI

For coming up with character names:

Behind the name (my absolute fav)

Allows you to choose the origin of where you want the name to be from, whether you want a more feminine vs masculine vs androgenous name (as voted by users), random surname generator, and clicking on the name gives you important info like if there are any famous people with the same name, where it’s from, how common it is, and how people tend to see it, etc.

You can also search their name database by letter or meaning or origin, so if you know you want a character who has a name/surname that starts with an A from Ireland, there’s a whole list for you to choose from.

Census sites

Especially useful if you’re looking for a name from a specific place and/or time period. Just search “(country) census (year)” and you’ll find a database of real people who lived in that place at that time. No one can ever call your names unrealistic again.

For coming up with place names:

Fantasy name generator

This site can basically come up with any name for any person, place, or thing you might ever need. There are also specific generators for different fandoms if you’re looking to make an OC in an established world.

For finding that one word on the tip of your tongue:

One Look Thesaurus

This is my go-to. Not only can you find synonyms like a regular thesaurus, but you can also describe words like “unhappy smile” or “quiet laugh” to find the more specific word you’re looking for.

For coming up with ideas:

Word cloud

When I need to inspire a new idea, I write down all the things I’m interested in (hauntings, academia, lesbians, etc.) and put them into a word cloud to shuffle them next to each other. Sometimes seeing a concept in a new context can spark new ideas!

WWF Discord

This is my discord channel (shameless plug) for when you need to brainstorm off other people but don’t have anyone irl to talk to. We’re also happy to read and give feedback on writing, answer writing questions, or just chat!

For visualizing places and characters:

Pinterest

Pinterest can at times be a bit too sterile for my tastes, but if you use the right words, you can find more realistic photos of places. For example, adding “aesthetic” after basically any word will bring up a more broad collection of photos to help you flesh out places.

This is also a great way to find photos of people and fashion to help visualize characters. I’m bad at describing clothes, so I usually collect photos of outfits to help me know what my characters are wearing. Searching up “character inspiration” will collect more interesting photos and drawings of people who might not exactly be of our world.

(However, to make Pinterest not show you AI results, you have to go into your settings and check the “reduce AI” box. Luckily, it does mostly work.)

Death to Stock

Like pinterest but completely AI free (hooray!) Only drawback is that you have to pay a monthly subscription (about $20 CAD).

Cosmos

Very similar to pinterest but slightly more "artsy". I'm not super familiar with this one but I believe all the photos are human and you can save them and create collections with a free account.

Dupe Photos

Royalty-free stock image site with very Pinterest-core photos!

Minecraft

If you haven’t built your entire fictional city in Minecraft instead of writing, why not? It’s fun.

The Sims

This one is dual purpose because you can not only create your characters in Create a Sim, but you can design their houses. If you really want to go for it, you can bulldoze all the lots in your town and build your world from scratch.

For checking grammar:

Grammar Girl

Easy to follow definitions and examples, and if you learn better by listening, every article comes with a podcast to follow along with instead.

Grammar Monster

This one is my favourite for checking grammar rules because there’s tons of examples in graphics that helps for any situation.

Reedsy

Among other things, reedsy can connect you to professional editors within your budget.

For writing advice:

One Stop for Writers

This one was recommended from my discord channel and has all sorts of tutorials and resources for the writing craft.

My Blog Directory

Another shameless plug, but if you need writing advice on something specific, you can search through my directory to see if it’s there. If it isn’t, you can always send me an ask about it!

For an alternative to Google Docs:

Ellipsus

Think google docs but without AI. Yay!

(will update this list with any more suggestions or resources I discover 😊)

BREAKING: Trump Administration Orders Dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service

The headquarters is going to Utah. Every regional office is being shuttered. The research program is being destroyed.

“More than fifty research and development facilities across thirty-one states. Gone. Consolidated into a single location in Fort Collins, Colorado. And ‘consolidated’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence, because what it actually means is that decades of place-based, long-term ecological research—the kind that literally cannot exist anywhere else because it depends on specific forests, specific watersheds, specific ecosystems studied over generations—will be snuffed out.

You cannot move a thirty-year watershed study. You cannot relocate a decades-long old-growth monitoring program. You cannot box up a forest and ship it to Colorado. When these facilities close, the experiments die. The datasets end. The partnerships with universities that took generations to build collapse. And the institutional knowledge of the scientists who ran those programs walks out the door, because the administration damn well knows most of them won’t follow a forced relocation to a single consolidated office that has nothing to do with the ecosystems they’ve spent their careers studying.”

The U.S. Forest Service, Dismantled

Nine regional offices. 57 research labs. 193 million acres. An interactive map of what was lost.

[aetherograph]

Call your senators. Both of them. Tell them the Forest Service reorganization is proceeding without the congressional approval required by Section 716 of the Agriculture Appropriations Act and Section 421 of the Interior Appropriations Act. Use those numbers. Say them out loud. Staffers write down what they don’t recognize, and these are the provisions their bosses voted for.

If your senator is a Republican, the question is simple: you voted for a law that requires USDA to get committee approval before reorganizing or relocating any office. USDA didn’t get that approval. Their own lawyers declared your law unconstitutional. What are you going to do about it?

If your senator is a Democrat, the question is just as simple: the legal basis for stopping this already exists. Where are the subpoenas? Where are the hearings? Why is USDA’s general counsel allowed to declare a duly enacted law unconstitutional by internal memo and face no consequences?

Make them answer. Make their staff write it down. Call back next week and ask what happened.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Remaining time: 5 days 15 hours

[odyver]

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Remaining time: 5 days 15 hours

[odyver]

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

46-60, less inclined

over 60, more inclined

over 60, less inclined

Remaining time: 5 days 15 hours

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

the great thing about the pitt is that it's a show of infinite nuance where every character has moments in the right and in the wrong and no one is irredeemable but also no one is unassailable. the terrible thing about the pitt is that you have to watch people raised by the bad faith no nuance everything-contains-a-moral-failing social media landscape of the 2020s interact with it and enough of that will make you want to join robby and abbot on the roof

[faxcollector]

I was joking a little bit here, but imo the most unsettling aspect of the discourse surrounding the pitt is that there seem to be a not-insignificant number of viewers who see a character do something not good (i.e. lose their temper, express bias towards a patient or colleague, abuse substances, react emotionally to a situation that requires logic) and decide that one failure or a series of related failures makes that character irredeemable as a person

there is ofc a natural impulse to be like well it doesn't actually matter because it's fiction, except for the particular attitude I'm talking about aligns strongly with a view I've seen a lot online, especially among younger people, that one moment of moral failing means that a person is Bad and that they will be Bad Forever and there is nothing that person can possibly do to redeem themselves. the social media panopticon has fried our brains and we have to remember that fucking up once, or even fucking up a bunch of times, does not mean that a person is incapable of improvement or not worthy of empathy in the meantime

at the risk of sounding overly sincere, the pitt asks us to believe in the complexity of each person and everyone's ability to improve with care and patience and decency. to watch the show in the opposite spirit is to miss the point entirely

[ashewintersnumber1fan]

everyone start using your queues more theyre the best goddamn feature on tumblr. imagine if you could post consistently with no effort. imagine if instead of passing around the same new art like a blunt you put it in an indeterminate purgatory where it would come out at random because you shuffled the queue like 5 times to disguise the fact that you went buckwild over your blorbo and went through their whole tag

[silurisanguine]

[rusticfurnace]

keep it up!

[angieflynns]

Look man, the ONLY valid source on who Noah Wyle is as a person and what he was intending with Robby is cast interviews from people who actually know him.

No, your Twitter thread based largely on your feelings is not a genuine source. No, I do not think you throwing around scary words makes it less anti-semitic. No, articles from websites that seem to have a bias are not a source. No, you do not speak for any of the cast members about how they mean the opposite of what they say in interviews. No, any source on how Robby, the fictional character, acts is not proof of anything about who Noah is as person.

And well, the sources from people who have actually met the man, including actresses all think he's funny, thoughtful, kind and lovely to be around.

No, matter how you spin it I think you're just spouting a hate campaign against a Jewish man...often using rhetoric that is famously anti-semitic. And I do think you're weird and deeply parasocial towards a man who has no reason to know you even exist.

This is really the cleanest Sweethearts Dance I’ve ever seen in my life. I am in love! I am transfixed! Footwork smooth and strong like a mfin mountain river! Incredible! 🤩 😳 🥰

Oh my God this is incredible to watch!

[behold-my-squees]

Found the credit, from the Great Plains Dance Company. This is Jocy Bird and Trae Little Sky dancing in the Sweetheart Special at the Seminole Tribal Fair in Hollywood, Florida.

Jocy Bird and Trae Little Sky are married and apparently an adorable couple and I am loving their beaming grins as they dance so smoothly together. 💖

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈 Be normal about queer Jews or else. 🫵

[monowritestoomuch]

Do you know how hard it is to not only find a JEWISH character, but one who says a prayer ON SCREEN(accurate), wears a STAR OF DAVID AROUND HIS NECK, AND KNOWS YIDDISH????

Do you know how hard it is to find accurate representation like ever for Jewish characters?

And to the people who go “oh well you get representation”—not always accurate bud. Please try again. Plus, many times is it offensive and using Jewish stereotypes.

So Robby just being Jewish and his Jewish background showing through and shining on The Pitt really means a lot to me. Thank you Noah Wyle, truly.

[commander-writergirl]

I assume you’re the friend who is always there with advice, a shoulder to cry on, or a funny story to make people laugh. 💜
