A Blog For Being Silly And Slightly Self Indulgent

Trying hard to pass as a human being. Scattered interests include Deep Rock Galactic, The Dragon Prince, Smg4, and Animator Vs. Animation 💚🤍🖤 Working on my drawing skills and writing… eventually.

Writing a fan fic where someone is in a time loop, but it’s also the first fan fic I might publish in a long while, so of course I’m judging my writing style heavily this time, going “ugh! It sound so repetitive!”

… which is the point??

[byoldervine]

Finishing the fic and writing something else is gonna give you the same flood of relief to have escaped the time loop as the characters who are actually in the time loop itself

[dark-krispy-dove]

That’s such a good point goddamn 😭

Notability, weird enough.

It was a program my school had us download for note taking during class, but a lot of us also used it for drawing (myself included) since we had highlighter and marker features, plus a lasso tool which meant we could move certain lines around.

Anyway, after I graduated, I redownloaded the app and now I take advantage of its subject dividers to organize my sketches and my fanfic documents.

My newest hell:

Being put on hold for business purposes, and the stupid bot stopping the music every 30 seconds to remind me I'm still on hold

STOP EDGING ME LIKE THIS

[dark-krispy-dove]

I already know there’s no representatives available right now! I know this because I’m not talking to them right now!! Shut your stupid bot mouth already and leave me in this repetitive hold music limbo you piece of shit program—

PSA: NEW SCAM ALERT

AO3 team will NEVER contact you via your fic’s comments section!!!!!!!!

if you get a comment from someone claiming to be from AO3 in any way, shape or form, IT IS A SCAM.

if you get a comment from someone claiming they work with AO3 and that your AO3 account has been compromised or restricted somehow and that you must contact xyz or open a link they give, IT IS A SCAM.

they want to hack your account and/or steal your credit card/personal information (because the link they want you to click on will require your login info and/or your other sensitive information!!!!)

*the same scam tactic can be seen on tumblr where these scammers claim to be someone from tumblr team too

DO. NOT. FALL. FOR. IT!!!!!!

here’s AO3’s official statement about it

here’s the post I made that covered other types of bots

[writingdose]

protect em dashes.

protect “not x, not y, but z” format.

protect short sentence stacking as a stylistic choice.

protect fanfic writers—who are kind enough to share their works with people to read for free—from ai witch hunts, speculations and accusations.

“don’t like don’t read” also applies to any fic that is ai-generated and any fic you think is ai-generated by the way. if you don’t like what you’re reading for any reason, you can always stop reading and exit the fic at any point. but harassment is never ever justified. no matter if you think you’ve found a noble excuse to do it. and also…

witch hunts, speculations and accusations harm the writing community as much as ai does. if not more. I don’t want to see another innocent writer get driven away from the community because someone decides to harass and accuse them for using ai just because their fic happens to have “ai telltales” — the same telltales ai got from having been trained on millions of human-made works to mimic how real humans actually write.

"oh i really love xyz character-" really? outside the context of shipping?

what r ur kinks

I'm consumed by grief

[maswartz]

[fractally]

This has been my main argument against "AI" from the very beginning.

OpenAI scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us.

And worse, they're trying to destroy the free sources that they stole from. It's destruction of human knowledge on an unprecedented scale. The burning of the library of Alexandria has nothing on this.

[ralfmaximus]

It's self-defeating, too. These LLMs are still getting trained on fresh internet data, but now, in 2026, a lot of that stuff is AI slop.

So these LLM crawlers are hoovering up the output of other LLMs and folding that into their datasets. Slop eating slop. Which means they're getting dumber and more prone to hallucination than ever.

And it is accelerating as AI bots outnumber humans on the web.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO BE PERCEIVED?!

(lighthearted joke)

I dunno. As someone who’s had trouble with their words around people in the past, I try to leave compliments when I genuinely like something. It sometimes means I get really nervous when someone else reads them.

Why do I give in to humor 😂

(for context he has the fire power-up)

[3rror-detected]

Bingewatched a few SMG4 movies and noticed something in IGBP. I guess I maybe never really noticed or just completely forgot, but whatever.

The scene where Mario, Meggy and 3 were being pulled by the red tentacle thingies into death, 3 was having a full blown panic attack.

The way Meggy looks at him while he spirals is so damn heartbreaking... Igbp was probably the first time he's ever been that vulnerable in front of anyone, the first time he ever showed how he truly felt about everyone and everything. Seeing probably one of the most (supposedly) cold hearted and meanest people in the crew break.

Then, 3 realized, that this may be it. That this is the last time he'll ever see SMG4, Mario and Meggy, but especially SMG4. That maybe, just maybe, he should slightly lower the walls he built around himself, just slightly, to reveal whatever he hid for so long under his mask, just so reach to SMG4, to maybe snap him out of it before it's too late.

So he did.

The way both Meggy and Mario look at him.

They didn't know that he felt like this. They didn't know he felt like this. They didn't know he grieved as much as them, but was too afraid to show it in fear of being mocked and rejected.

Then, 3 decided to just screw everything and pour out even more. Admitting that yes, despite everything, he considers himself 4's boyfriend and will always be by his side, no matter what happens.

Anyways bye lemme go bawl my eyes out.

What if I were a lawyer and you were a comic bubble… and what if we were both girls…

oc brainrot. is real

[dkpsyhog]

You managed to give expressive posing to an abstract shape what the fuck

[thatglitchfan]

I just realized.

Spoilers for smg4 movie: it's gotta be perfect.

Mario had his special day. He wanted to highlight his best friend, SMG4, on this day, Mar10 day, with his best friend award. Not only did SMG4 ruin his day but he then proceeded to lock himself away on a stream for 99 full hours. Look at this from Mario's perspective. His best friend loses it and goes out of his room for the first time and days and destroys your party that you worked really hard for, and he looks a total mess. Then he locks himself up for days. Then he finally completely loses it on a stream and looks half dead. Then you go in to help him only to end up almost dieing by his hand, and being saved by the person he used to hate. Then he comes out of the place that meant so much to him for so long that is now being destroyed, only to find that the best friend he thought he saved is still in the sinking building, along with the person who saved you. After this we all think about how SMG3 and SMG4 feel. Some even think about meggy. But not many consider Mario. This must have messed him up so incredibly badly. The utter trauma this must have caused must have been horrid.

Anyway, thanks for coming to my Vain talk.
