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

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?

I needed this drag. Let’s change guys and not look back

working out your brain is a must!!

• hydrate it by drinking lots of water

• eat dark chocolate and blueberries and walnuts and salmon and other foods high in antioxidants!!

• play little brain games on your phone; I like wordconenct! anything that makes you think!

• read books. It’s simple but necessary. Even better - join a book club, or read with a friend, so you can have discussions after. This will improve your reading comprehension.

• do puzzles - it doesnt have to be sudoku, I love playing Beat Saber on the Oculus Rift because it makes my brain have to match colorful patterns to physical movements very quickly!

• learn a new dance - even a tik tok trendy dance. Learning new dance moves are proven to strengthen synapses!!

• go bird watching, or foraging, or anything outdoors that requires you to explore pattern recognition and visual searching

• watch a movie with the intent of analysis - this is best done with a cinephile friend!! talk about tropes and symbolism and character growth

• cross stitch, or sew, or do anything that requires matching nimble hand movements to patterns

• play or learn an instrument!

• develop a consistent sleep schedule (or as close to consistent as you can get!)

• when eating, try to identify the ingredients and flavors you’re perceiving!

I hope this helps :)

I like how this went from me feeling like “hm why is this attacking me 🤨” at first, but feeling grateful seeing an added guide on a genuine expansion on a “ how to” work out the brain. This genuinely helps a bunch. People find solace in doing activities that get them through life by doing said activities of phone/tv or if that’s all they’ve ever known in their life to get them through things + etc tho. However, this was very impt to point out. Slowly beginning incorporating things to work the brain in ones own time.

fandom etiquette as a whole died when people who didn’t grow up on fandoms became stans during lockdown, yes, but why am i seeing people openly mocking fics on twitter. why am i seeing screenshots of fics with captions like “bro what is this 😭.” why am i seeing people mock fic writers for not knowing how sports or theater or college or any other organization operates in the real world.

“college is absolutely nothing like this” “why are we writing four people on the team scoring a hat trick in one game” “so tech work is nothing like this, hope that helps!”

if you don’t like a fic, and if you can’t suspend your belief enough to enjoy a fic that exaggerates or ignores real-world orgs, you don’t have to read it. you don’t have to screenshot it and put it on blast for twitter. you don’t have to post a link to it in the replies. the back button is literally there on your phone. it’s not giving baby’s first fandom anymore, it’s giving entitled asshole and it isn’t as cute as you think it is.

Wattpad: pay me monthly 🤩 and we will remove ads for you. also free offline stories I guess as long as you keep paying me. but we have censorship so keep your kinks to yourself. what we don’t have is tagging systems, so good luck trying to find what you want or avoiding what you don’t want to read lol

meanwhile AO3: so everything is free in our house. read whatever you want offline. also no ads. no capitalism. no censorship. be as wild as you want with your fics. also we have tagging systems so you can search or avoid any specific tags, pairings, relationships or characters. whatever you want.

I’m sorry but if you’re still complaining, you don’t realize how good you have it with AO3, one of the last platforms on the internet that is free of capitalism and censorship. just artists and writers creating and sharing their works with the community for free and for fun. just authentic love between artists, their works, characters, stories and audiences.

So true....

WRONG. talk about it. shout about it. yell about it. scream about it. so what if it’s a fanfic? it’s done with love and passion. it’s art created by a fellow human being who, despite life and lord knows what battle they may or may not be going through, probably stayed up all night writing it before they shared it with the world for free. they’d probably spent months or years writing it. it’s as much a piece of art and literature as any other art and literature that aren’t fanfics. and unlike artists who make profit off their works, fanfic writers truly write for free, because they are that passionate about their stories. the least we can do is show them our love and appreciation.

The longer the Batfamily takes to find out Danny's previous identity, the funnier it'll be. Because we're setting up a situation where the Red Flags in this relationship are

Wes: Likes to stalk people, and go through their belongings, and take pictures of them while they're asleep. Top-notch investigative journalist, though.

Jason: Crime lord with a four-digit kill count. Makes really good food though, and GREAT with kids.

Danny: Seems to have grown up weirdly adjacent to Occultist shit, has three children who seem WAY too old to be his kids, has a sister who supposedly works as Arkham Asylum but they haven't met her, nothing comes up when you google his name that's older than five years ago, and puts maple fucking syrup in his coffee for some god forsaken reason. Though he's a fucking AMAZING mechanic. Like. Way too good to have been working in a garage mechanic's chop shop. Must have learned this somewhere. They do not know where.

Gives the opportunity for Danny to just drop fucking insane life lore outta nowhere.

"Ah. Reminds me of that time all the cardboard boxes in my town gained sentience and tried to rise up against their overlords."

"Ohhh, like the Ghost Prison riot."

"A hydraulic press? Yeah, used to have one of those in the basement."

"What do you mean I have to wear a hazmat suit to hang out near radioactive materials? I used to play with radioactive isotopes unsupervised all the time, and I turned out okay!"

"Hey, at least you don't have to fight your dinner again before you can eat it."

"Jason, what are 'safety goggles'?"

"Ah, Satan. I'm familiar. Kind of a dickhead though. Singed my eyebrows off."

DCxDP Fenton/Nightingale/Constantines

So, there's some DP fanon about the Fenton/Nightingale bloodline being blessed/cursed by their historical ties to the supernatural (whether that's as witches or witch hunters).

In DC, the Laughing Magician is a bloodline title, and Constantines have either amazing luck or terrible luck. Also, a history of magic users.

What if the Fenton/Nightingales are an offshoot of the Constantines? They started in England as a magically gifted bloodline, which evolved into the Nightingale witches and the Fenton hunters when they reached America.

Equally blessed and cursed, all three bloodlines are susceptible and receptive to otherworldly influence.

Jack Fenton can see ghosts no one else can, which leads him to his career as a ghost hunter and creator of anti-ghost weaponry. He saw something that scared him, something he couldn't touch but could still hurt him, and he invested his life in making himself safe from his personal tormentors.

John Constantine can reach for magic easily, naturally, reflexively. He can instinctually understand summoning circles, he understands demon psychology and learns to manipulate it to his own ends, he summons flames to light his cigarettes because it's easier than finding a lighter. John saw the same monsters Jack did, but he learnt not to fight them, but to manipulate and use them.

The Fenton children carry these traits too. Jazz struggles with normal weaponry, but if someone trained her in magic, she'd be a natural. She has the potential to be a second John Constantine, naturally understanding the psychology of otherworldly entities. If she had more training and less strict morals, she could easily manipulate her way into some very favourable contracts.

Danny, on the other hand, has inherited adaptability and raw power. He doesn't need to analyse his opponent, he can see them in action and steal their moves and return the fire a hundredfold. Danny has learned some skill and refinement, but his ability to adapt is his real strength. He can weaponise anything like his dad, and he can strike precisely like his mum. Also, his luck fluctuates like a Constantine's.

Jazz is a hidden blade and silver tongue, Danny is a nuke.

In a fic, this all could become obvious when John takes in the Fenton children after a Bad Ending. He relates to them too much, but chalks it up to projection. After he introduces them to the JL, Batman somehow gets blood samples. He tells John that they're related, and John realises the Constantine blood is what lead these children to the supernatural, and likely what drove their parents to their profession.

saw someone say they feel bad and awkward ‘contributing nothing’ to fandom (“no fics, no drawings, no theories, just gluttony”) and to anyone who feels inferiority about this i gotta say us creators, doing things for free, love nothing more than your unbridled spiralling greed in our notifications aka genuinely be more unapologetically gluttonous 24/7 there is nothing wrong with enjoying something insatiably because us writers and artists feel empty and despairing without a passionate audience and feral surroundings so please and thank you and we love you

draculastarion

yes!!!! you CAN contribute something!!!!! if you feel guilty, you can:

reblog art instead of just liking it! not only will you increase the amount of people who see it (more cool people seeing cool art!!!!) but then you can also leave some nice comments in the tags about how cool the art is!!!

no theories??? you can reblog the ones you really like, or even question the ones you don’t! fandom thrives on engagement! i’m not saying yell at someone for having a different opinion, but there’s no harm saying “oh, i didn’t see it that way. can you tell me more?” if you know of someone who has cool/interesting theories, please encourage them to talk more about it!! they probably held back the first time!

COMMENT ON FIC!!!!!! please, we are begging. literally just a heart emoji as a second kudos feels like the bare minimum but damn… sometimes we out here getting NO comments. one single emoji in the inbox might MAKE SOMEONE’S DAY.

if you feel guilty, if you feel greedy, ENGAGE WITH THE CONTENT

athenadark

as someone who was once the core of a rarepair in a dying fandom

create content - it doesn’t have to be good, it has to be THERE

you think your art is crap - the fans of that will not care

you go into one of their spaces and go “hey, I have a thought” and say it

talk to people, engage with them as well as the content

some of your favourite fancreators were once nervous little fans scared to dip their toes, and now they’re stomping in like godzilla to the delight of tokyo

you are the best part of fandom, you are different and have different ideas and yeah, we all start as tiny little fans scared to speak up, and now, we’re the ones being asked for content, every one of us dropped fics we’d like to scour off the internet, or art, or amv or whatever

don’t be afraid to speak up, we want to hear it, fandom isn’t reddit, there are no wrong answers
