âhow to recognize AI in fanficâ â hey so this is another not-gentle reminder that AI stole from us. itâs using OUR words and OUR sentences and OUR styles.
writing âlongâ paragraphs is not a sign of AI â itâs 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. itâs a stylistic sentence choice thatâs 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.
âYA narrative breaksâ? i donât 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 itâs 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 âsounds like AIâ â IT DOESNT! AI STOLE FROM US! AI SOUNDS LIKE US! â 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 âcall them outâ 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 havenât, and they will (rightfully) stop writing for spaces that attack them.
anyway. fuck ai.
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.
reminder to those of you contemplating watching the new Stranger things cartoon, they said you were noise to tune out. If you have to watch that do it not on netflix
Here is a compilation of Netflix Stranger Things queerbaiting examples that I found (and there's probably more)
They have a lot of fucking nerve telling us it was never even hinted at, that we were always just noise to them.
i love the idea that conformitygate isnt what we think (duffers writing the story) but the crew (hair, wardrobe, set designers, editors, ect) loving byler so much they just fucked with the finale to make it look like its all a delusion
the GA when bylers create nonship plot theories with clues from the show: omg you're so right
the GA when bylers use the exact same clues to prove that mike is queer: go kill yourselves
Why does the guy always get the girl and the girl always get the guy (or at least like 90% of the time) but all queer people can do apparently is love themselves ?
it is actually hilarious watching the GA complain about conformitygate not being real and saying âbut there were so many cluesâ along with asking âwhy did nobody speak on it or anythingâ âbut the parallels and the writingââŠâŠ. like does that not sound familiar? it sounds familiar but I canât put my finger on itâŠâŠâŠâŠ.
new reaction meme just dropped
i'm sorry but if you have to fucking explain multiple scenes and aspects of your show to your viewers through interviews you're NOT a good writerđ«©âïžđŹđŹ
Will occasionally gets postcards in the mail.
No name. No address. No matter where he is.
Always of art.
Postcards of paintings from all around the world.
He likes researching them and learning about the artist, what the paintings mean, where the paintings hang now.
He knows she wouldnât be there if he went, but he still looks into the cities that the galleries are in. Reading about the history and imagining her telling him about it. Imagining her exploring. Learning. Existing freely.
He doesnât tell anyone because he knows she trusts him not to. Trusts him to not try and find her.
He likes to think she still checks in with him as occasionally the meaning or subject of a painting will hit too close to home with him and whatever the current thing that was bothering him.
He wishes he could write back. Wishes he knew how to check on her as she checks on him.
But since everything ended, his powers lay dormant. Only evidence they still exist are the small âelectrical faultsâ that are perfectly timed with big emotions and always end in a nose bleed.
i genuinely cannot overstate how baffling it is to watch a creator hand wave away âthe noiseâ when that so called noise is, in fact, a substantial queer audience articulating their own lived readings and a lead actor who is himself gay and openly drawing from personal experience to shape his performance. in any foundational media studies course, youâre taught that audience reception isnât an inconvenience, itâs part of the textâs life. itâs the ecosystem a story breathes in. when your work intersects with queer identity, queer history, and queer longing, that responsibility only intensifies.
to dismiss all of that as irrelevant chatter isnât just tone deaf, itâs narratively negligent. it betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of how meaning is made, how representation functions, and how performance and authorship interact. when an actor with lived queer experience is telling you, explicitly, that he relates to his characterâs arc, thatâs not ânoise.â thatâs a primary source. thatâs embodied knowledge informing the text from the inside out.
and when your queer audience, the people who have carried your story, analysed it, defended it, and found themselves in it, are pointing out the emotional and thematic resonance youâve built, brushing them off isnât neutral. itâs cruel. itâs a refusal to engage with the very people who understand your work most intimately. itâs a failure of craft, of empathy, and of basic narrative stewardship.
at that point, youâre not just being careless. youâre being a bad storyteller. and worse, youâre being a storyteller who punishes the very communities your work claims to represent.
this is lowkirkenuinely going to send me into psychosis
reminder:
if you rate episode 7 of season 5 one star, it'll show netflix that the audience doesn't want to see any form of queer representation, and the chances of byler level queerbait happening in their future projects (even the ones in the near future like wednesday and maybe ginny & georgia) will be SO much higher. if you rate that episode one star regardless of what you thought of it, it's YOUR funeral.
BUT!!! if you give episode 8 of season 5 one star, it'll show netflix that the worst way to end a show about outcasts and 'screwing conformity' is by showing us that each character ended up as a conformed version of themselves. they'll see that the cast and crew were VERY wrong for choosing to go down the path of queer erasure and bowing down to harmful stereotypes.
so yeah, review-bomb episode 8 all you want, but please, whatever you do, don't let episode 7 be the lowest rated episode of the show.
because at the end of the day, conformity is killing the kids, not representation.
You know whatâs extra fucked up about the tower scene?
Mike trying to apologize for being so shitty to Will. And the writers not even LETTING Will accept the apology.
He is self deprecating until the very end. Insistent that Mike shouldnât have noticed his pain or been there for him. That it was better for him to suffer in silence until he managed to get over his feelings. Because how dare he inconvenience Mike with his gay feelings?
Heâs excusing all of Mikeâs shitty behavior so the audience can, too. Heâs stating that he was always meant to get over Mike, so the audience can too. And heâs furthering the homophobic narrative that sympathizing with a gay person as a straight person is uncomfortable and confusing work, so it shouldnât be expected. The audience can nod along with that, too.
Some self acceptance arc, Duffers. We can really tell that Will has grown into his sexuality from how much time he spends apologizing for being gay. And telling the straight people in his life that they shouldnât bend over backwards to be considerate about his painful lived experience. Fantastic job, really.
i'm going to be sick. "i started bringing it up again and they told me "noah shut up. it was one. it was one time."" that's them having to be begged for the queer character's storyline to have closure. then noah, someone that's actually from the queer community you should at least pretend to want to represent correctly, tells you it's still not right, not enough, and you shut him up because you allowed it one time already.
the duffers are so fucking evil goddddd
Words cannot describe how heart broken I am for Noah. I donât care about your opinions of him with other shit but that is a whole ass gay man who has said himself he found understanding in himself through will and he loves will so much. And he shipped Byler so much and he says everything too and he was just like us, he wanted it so bad, he knew it was the only thing that would make sense. The fact that this poor gay man had to beg just to get a somewhat âsatisfiyingâ ending to Will and mikes story is so heart breaking and then add on top of that the duffers telling him to shut up when he mentioned it again?
Duffers brothers I hope you rot in whatever form of hell is most torturous for you for not only doing this to the queer community, but to directly hurt a young queer male who loved the queer character he played so much.
worst part is that they genuinely ruined a character that was loved by many queer, self repressed people (including me!) and gave him the saddest ending of all. even will has a happier one, despite not getting the love of his life in the epilogue. mike is just. left there. all alone and sobbing.
it honestly feels like such a slap in the face. taking a very much canonically suicidal, emotionally depressed boy and making him end up away from his friends, all alone in the basement and sobbing as he thinks about the most important person in his life slipping through his fingers.
such a slap in the face for every fan whos loved him so much.
