Apparently some people still need to hear this so: using an 'ai checker' is still using ai. If you are feeding someone's fic to one of these checkers, you will still not be sure their fic is ai because they are not 100% accurate, but you can be 100% sure that you are using ai. For fic. Furthermore you are doing the work of an ai scraper for them. You are, personally, feeding the machine. There is no actual excuse for using an ai checker on fanfic as a hobby. YOU are the problem.
If you think a fic is ai, mute it and move on. That's it. That's all you do.
Um. Yikes
read the fic i posted after ignoring it for 7 months out of embarrassment, and oh my god????? its GOOD?????? WJAT?????? IM A GOOD WRITER?????? HUH???????? EHAT DO YOU MEAN

Live reaction and analysis OooooOo

OH MY GODDDDD Started reading then realized what i was reading and got so excited The joy of joy Im also eating cinnamon rolls yum yum!
SOLEUM DONT EVEN KNOW HE DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT HAMMER IS ABOUT TO HIT HIM IN THE FACE HAHAH Are they still in the security area you think or did we have a lil time skip
Knowing smth ahead of Soleum is so fun its like Yk that one writing thing Where the example is theres a bomb under a desk. And you can either tell your audience theres a bomb under the desk and create a sense of suspense as they wait Or you can NOT tell the readers and have it be a big surprise when suddenly a bomb explodes Yeah Rn the story decided to tell us about the bomb and build suspense Sorry random tangent anyways
Damn nearly everyone was wiped out holy moly 😭 Wheres my goat Nasol Did they find them and put them here? Maybe
Not the only one left! Youre not alone! Nasol should be here too ☝️
Didnt even clean up tsk tsk Also gonna be kinda hard to hide him with so few workers remaining Or maybe it'll be easier! If you pretend he's dead, But if hes found now theyre gonna know hes special enough to be hidden so
Hard to take Soleum seriously acting like he knows everything when I for once know more than him 🥀 Its actually quite a fun character flaw of his. Always assuming he knows everything. Rlly failed him at the end of pt1 ✊ Buddy….
Where the hell is Nasol Soleum where did you put her 😠
The War ain't over yet buddy 🥀 Im glad hes getting some rest tho Also thats the second time hes fainted in like what 20 ish chapters? Compared to the 1 time he fainted in part 1 in like 65 ish chapters
There's my girl 😊 Hi currently unconscious Nasol hiii 👋 Shes definitly gonna be even closer to him after this If there was any risk of her abandoning you before I dont think there is now. Not when she owes you this much now. Yayyy more hope of the duo sticking together Soleums never rlly been in an actual duo before huh Except Braun ofc
"Assistant Manager Jin Nasol and I survived safely" yayyyy
Not even a bonus paycheck 🥀
The gaslighting goes crazy bro
What about Nasol, where is she 🥀 Shouldn't she have been found out there too
Andddd there goes his reputation 💀 Brooo You finally were improving it only for it to go downhill again as someone crazy/untrustworthy 😔
Crazy things like he saw people melting…. yeah… crazy…
Back to square 1 dawg Corpses in the bedroom and a reputation where nobody likes you NOW WHERE IS NASOL 😠
HAHAHHA
All in one week too Worse then Daydream era 🥀
"Um, its been so hard and scary 😣…." "What do you want me to do about it 🫤? Get lost 😠." No this is actually so sweet Like ik its part of his Z999 act but it is rlly sweet that he feels safe enough to say stuff like that and not feel threatened by her reaction or anger. And also look at him visiting her! He didnt visit people before (mostly cause he was always on the grind of going home). Maybe he even felt like having some company. Yayy And look shes annoyed but its… shes still fine with him being here and being like that despite his annoying attitude. Instead of driving him away or snapping further. They rlly are closer :3
Also she okay ik im yapping too much but the way she responded with what do you want me to do about it? Instead of attacking his manner of speaking or attacking any part of his actions at all she asks a question. Like maybe if she could do smth about it she would. Like shes still annoyed But yeah :3 Its nice
Awww he came to see her as soon as work ended ❤️ Also do they have her off painkillers Im assuming theyre keeping her here to make sure she dont melt? Or maybe just to treat her hand.
Immiedatly running off to see her hehe He was probably in need of companionship He likes having an ally. Usually he found that in Braun. Maybe hes finding it in Nasol now? Or maybe im just crazy
Yeah look look I was right! I forgot my sources so I was wondering where I got the he doesnt like to be lonely but he just reminded me He doesnt like being in scary situations alone! He hates it! He likes having someone with him. Usually its Braun but rn its Nasol! Yayyy!! :D
And this whole world is usually a scary situation so he doesnt like being alone. So hes with Nasol :3
Beg her to please come back quickly:" hehe :3
Why are 3/5 relevant woman characters missing apart of their hand at some point in this story 💔
Hehe hes bitter she has to go through it all missing a finger and cant get a potion to get it back He feels bitter and angry on behalf of others! Yayy!! This is wonderful! What improvement! Also more angry Soleum 🫵
Youre pissing her off haha 😭 She wanted some peace and quiet Giving not so subtle hints for you to go away HAHAH Too bad hes scared of being alone so hes staying But look at that! Shes dropping very obvious clues to get him to go away! And while yeah she is snapping she isnt actually forcing him to go away! She wants him to! But wont force/threaten him to do so! Wowee!
Like she clearly wants to kick him out/yell/threaten/smth to get him to leave But she isnt! She chooses to let him be! Despite her clear annoyance! She cares! Soleum is saying its because they mustve given her painkillers but I think hes wrong Considering that even when her pains fully gone shes never rlly let things slide and always is very forceful. My example is Tamra train
My goat Nasol spitting straight facts Thats what ive been saying too 🥀 What if they straight up don't let you leave
Aw and she continues chatting with him To plot if you will Cause they're a team! They need to discuss things! Yay!
Oh okay Soleums thought of this too And realized researcher is a lil TOO attached to his golden egg laying goose
Id be pissed as hell too if my team partner insisted on staying despite how annoying I find it, then when I try to plot and discuss he responds in the same annoying ass tone of voice with zero additions to the discussion Shes in quite a good mood with Soleum rn. So patient
"…is that so 🫤"
Oh wait or is he actually communicating through subtle clues
Okay unless you talked to her about this which doesnt seem to be the case this is way too subtle of a clue to pick up on But hey maybe shes smarter then me and picked up on the fact that him saying he must be able to leave after a week must mean he has a way to even if they dont let him leave. Its possible!
Pls leave together and stay together okay you two 🥀
Lover probably gonna come back and get us but for now its future Soleums problem mhm
"Assistant Manager Jin Nasol needs to recover anyways" HEHE YAYYYYYYY YAYAYAYAY SHES APART OF HIS THOUGHT PROCESS! SHES A NESSRCARY PART OF HIS PLAN! YAYAYAY! SHE NEEDS TO RECOVER BEFORE HE MOVED FORWARD WHICH SHOWS SHES APART OF THE PLAN YAYYAYAYA Usually he always treats everyone as quite independent indivuals and only worries about them when they're potentially about to die. But look! Look here! Nasols an active part of his plan! Of his mindset! Hes worrying about her and caring for her wellbeing even tho shes fine on her own! Yayyy! Even Braun never got to be apart of his plan (mostly cause he always assumed Braun would be there automatically to the point he dont even mention Braun 😭) I dont think hes even lying to her about anything rn. This is so wonderful. Hes actually apart of a team…
"Forget it. 😒" "Just a moment 😊!" "Hey 😠!" I do genuinely believe this relationship is so good for both of them I dont know for sure but I think its valid to assume Nasols self worth is in the dirt for how she was basically useless and a dead weight and an active lialbility in the last adventure. Which is why shes being so accepting of Soleum doing whatever. And she doesnt want him to do even MORE for her??? Maybe? She probably ain't feeling very good about being so weak and pathetic and useless But I do think its good for her to have Soleum show her theyre apart of a team and he'll support and help her Maybe Soleums mindset will rub off on her. Just because youre useless doesnt mean you deserve to be left behind. And Soleum just acknowledging and worrying for someone whose probably fine on their own is rlly good for him too. As someone who hasnt rlly cared for others wellbeing or feelings all that much. Because he was so focused on his goal that he didnt rlly care for anything else (unless it was a fatal situation) Yeah
Imagine he gets bullied on his way to get food Or taken by the researcher Or Saheon arrives or smth
WAS I RIGHT
AWWWW She hates being helped. Shes proud. She doesnt like admitting it. But shes not so proud She wont admit it. Shes well aware and she makes Soleum aware that shes aware of it. Which carries a load of implications that shes too proud to actually say. But she wants to make sure Soleum knows. Nasol ❤️
Nasol im confused too what is he talking about Soleum what do u need to be thankful for Her company? If that was just a comment to add onto his Z999 persona then he shouldve added onto it no? Not left after mysteriously adding he should be thankful too Is he aware the only reason he escaped the lover was because he tripped over Nasol? Was that why? Maybee He definitly seemed to mean it or he wouldn't have just left withoit explanation right?
AGGHHg AGGH AGUYYYU HE LIKES SAVING PEOPLE HE LIKES HELPING PEOPLE HE AGGGHH FEELING BETTER THAN BEFORE BEING ABLE TO FEEL A SENSE OF WORTH MADE HIM FEEL BETTER AGGGHHU Hes mentioned this feeling before, after mermaid palace. Immiedatly slapped himself out of it because he cant be feeling those things or he might actually want to stay! And now look at him :3 Awwww ty Nasol you made him feel better Hes growing more attached too How's his self worth rn? I cant rlly tell. Better than some other eras but tbh I dont know Maybe guilty? For abandoning everybody? My source is what the lover was yapping about but other than that I dont have much to go off.
Its not doing too bad I think
He rlly does feel comforted with her Like its not been very long but everytime hes without her he seems to be anxious and keeps mentioning how hes alone.
THEYRE MAKING THEM PAY FOR NASOLS TREATMENT OH HELL NAH 💀
More angry Soleum…
He mad AF!!
They sending him back to his room 💀 Oh hell nah!!!
Any crashout from this point onward is completely valid
Are they trying to like convince him to stay through like opposite means? Since bribery isnt working maybe its reverse psychology. Have him in horrible conditions so he feels motivated enough to start doing good enough. Make him feel like hes unwanted so he can start putting in more effort to be more valued Ruh roh
His reputation is rlly in the trenches rn huh People feel happy to see him fall damn
OH HES HIDING HIM THIS IS HIM HIDING HIM AS THE MOST USELESS OF THE BUNCH SO SAHEON WONT NOTICE HIM Too bad he might because he knows this guy 💀 OH MY GODDD Nasols gonna be out of the equation probably Being in the med room
Did the bullies die? Maybeee
Cheong…. scary… Little does he know…
OH HELL NAH ITS THE BULLIES NOOOO Imagine Saheon finds him getting bullied
Imagine Saheon thinks the agent went home and Soleum somehow ended up here Further proof of them being two different people Ehhhh its a stretch
SLAMMED INTO THE SINK HOLY MOLY THATS VIOLEMT HE DODGED BUT HEAD STRUCK REGARDLESS
Nasol helpp
No one here to defend him and no one here to see damn Ig theyve been wanting to do for a hot minute
People keep grabbing his head… stop it… leave him alone…
Oh shoot! They've beaten him before! Ig them helping him with the water was just basic human decency But they seem to actively psychologically and psychically torment him Holy moly No but fr who was controlling his body before he came along? Who is the original Z-999?
How was he dying of dehydration tho? Quite strange! Maybe the real horrors were the bullies we met along the way 🥀 Now ghost stories ain't the only problem damn Nasol can you beat their asses later thanks I feel.like Saheon might walk in tho or smth but eh
"Should I do it?" He felt real eager to get revenge for a moment
He'll try a little bit of acting to feel extra victimized… Oh Soleum… I rlly like pt 3 Soleum. Always trying to look on the bright side lately
Either theyre rlly mad or Soleums not giving as much of a reaction as they want
YOUR reputation and personality cant fight back but ik someone who cannn! Nasol go!
"This wont do. 😠"
Soleum got tired of your bullshit! To the point he just straight up broke the act! Haven't seen him do that before! Acts wear down and sometimes fall off But I havent seen him straight up break it! He mad as hell!
He genuinely mad af damnnn
He wants to make this guy suffer He just missed two opportunities to continue the act Missed opportunity to make it seem like Z999 just snapped and went crazy which could make sense! Would protect him! But nah hes tired of this. Acting. Hes genuinely mad and taking his anger out. Valid! May regret this in a few but come up with a solution/bright side
Or maybe he can play the role of the insane guy with these two Damn Soleum never seen you this mad before Well Maybe but I dunno
Oh pkay he let his anger out and backtracked back to Z999 act. With the addition of Z999 is actually just insane
Well thats one way to stop being bullied!
Top tier scream… he rlly was mad.. happy at their fear… Remind me of a certain goat… Who he also relished the fear of… Though the difference is the guy you bullied is insane and might snap at any moment versus your superior who you have to please because hes a psychopath
Hey maybe Saheon wont recognize you now that youre all beat up! Tho you might draw attention for being late And having the two other late guys exit the same room screaming in fear and with signs of strangulation
There seems to be more emphasis on physical injuries in pt 3 and the affects of them
Maybe because theres no magical healing potions anymore
OH SHITTT SAHEONS BOUT TO WALK IN OH SHITTT
SCREAMING OH MY GOD OH MY GOD
AHAHAHAH YEAA YEAHHU OH MY GOD TOMMOROWS CHAPTERS GONNA BE GOOOD THANK GOD IT ENDED THERE IM RLLY BUSY TODAY
Overbearing black suit… Both going quiet at seeing each other… OH MY GODDD
My guess for next chapter is the researcher or whoevers with Saheon is gonna start yapping before Soleum or Saheon can say anything. Gonna try and treat Soleum like hes nothing and just useless to convince Saheon hes not worth headquarters time. Little does he know…
Well first its gonna start with a yap session on Saheon Then its gonna go …. from both of them. Then researcher yaps. Thats my guess anyway
My best friend & I made a deal: to each read other's recommended webnovel/webtoons.
I, of course, recommended her GSGW part 1 (Too many chapters so I needed to make a compromise) & my best friend recommended me Naver Webtoon "JAKDU: Shaman's Blade" and I need to read until the most recent chapters (about 110 chapters).
Just finished the whole webtoon in one sitting, it's based on Korean shamanism & has such a stunning background music with a traditional Korean tune mixed in it. EVERY FIGHT SCENE has the ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK FOR EACH RESPECTIVE ARCS.
The MC's name is YongYong. My favorite character's name is Lee Ja Hyun (not Heon).
It is an ongoing webtoon on Naver & there's an official English translation. Promotional Video, the official animation, is ALL CREATED BY AUTHORS & PAIDED BY THEIR EXPENSE (NAVER WEBTOON JUST PUT THEIR LOGO, & DID NOT PUT EXTRA EFFORT THAN THAT.) Below is that animation.
I see that "learned helplessness" is the hot new psychological term getting wildly misused. the phrase you're looking for is "weaponized incompetence," babes
weaponized incompetence is when your partner does chores shitty on purpose so that you stop asking them to do chores. learned helplessness is when you've experienced so much trauma that you've developed the mindset that you can't meaningfully change your situation and have become accordingly passive.
if your partner is exhibiting learned helplessness they aren't manipulating you, they're displaying a trauma response.
I think something that makes Project Hail Mary resonate with audiences is that the movie takes your hand and says, “you are never as alone as you think”.
And in a world filled with dystopian or depressing sci-fi stories that argue for individualism and cynicism, it was incredibly refreshing to see something that says no, humanity is at its best when we are one.
That we are at our best when we are a collaborative effort, and that cooperation and hope are necessary for our survival and for our advancements. Nothing can be done without the love we have for eachother, the curiosity we innately have, and our desire for connection.

I still reference this post today. And yes, when I say I reference it I mean I sing it.
Daydream Inc. and the Skeleton in its Basement (CRI), an Analysis
Spoilers for parts 1 and 2 of the novel!
I’m so happy bds-nim has complex characters with strong personalities and consistent characterization, to the point that rereading is really fun and I understand dialogue the more I analyze
There are some actions/dialogues/themes that I don’t understand. I try to figure it out so much that it’s lowk agonizing. Sometimes it’s to the extent that I’m like “why am I putting so much effort into understanding a fictional character ??? It could mean nothing. It’s fully possible the author hasn’t put this much thought into it. I mean, there’s plenty of media where I can’t think too much about the characters, because a motivation or trait doesn’t actually mean anything outside of how it moves the plot, and getting my expectations up will only disappoint me.”
Go back to point 1.
there’s definitely meaning. It’s worth it to analyze because it makes me enjoy the characters and the story more, and I don’t think bds-nim will let me down.
reread this entire post.
I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought “why do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff,” so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? It’s alright if you can’t because apparently I fuckin couldn’t either
Cutting something out of your life because you think you don’t need it any more only to realize that it was in fact working as intended and preventing a problem that will return should you stop doing this is a good experiment to run periodically with something small like dandruff shampoo, lest you start to think it would be a good idea to do this with like let’s say public health and the social safety net and vaccines
I had a liver transplant when I was 14 and like six months later I was chatting with my surgeon and he said “there’s gonna come a time, probably when you’re a teenager, where you’re gonna think, ‘I feel great, why am I still taking all this medication? I haven’t needed it in years.’ and you’re gonna want to stop taking all this medication. Guess what’s gonna happen then? You’re gonna go into rejection and your liver is gonna start failing, and you’re gonna be dying again, and we’re gonna have to find you another liver. So don’t do that.” And I said “why the fuck would anyone do that?” and he said “people are stupid.”
every once in a while when I get annoyed by a pharmacy or don’t wanna get out of bed to do my drugs I think “ugh, this is dumb, why do I do this?” and that conversation slams into me like a truck and I remember that I am, in fact, stupid
#you are not immune to the recency bias(via@arrows-for-pens)
Every person on earth needs to read this post. It will make people’s lives a lot better and lessen the crises everyone faces in day-to-day lives.
I reblog this every time I see it because I am not immune to the recency bias
do u think omegaverse acknowledges covid-19 and the generation of people who permanently lost their sense of smell like how are they all scenting each other now is the omegaverse economy in shambles
actually pheromone sensing works differently from normal olfaction, since humans in our world don’t have a functioning vomeronasal organ (VNO), we don’t have any data on how covid-19 would affect a functioning VNO in omegaverse AUs
Actually there is evidence that covid probably would affect the VNO and it stands to reason would accordingly impair its function. Briefly:
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes covid, can only infect cells expressing a certain protein called ACE2
ACE2 is expressed widely in nasal cavity epithelial cells but not in olfactory sensory neurons.
Seo et al. (2021) studied potential nasal targets for SARS-CoV-2 using golden hamsters as a model organism (commonly used as a proxy for humans in virology studies)
They found ACE2 expression in the main olfactory bulb epithelium (MOE, your “normal” nose organ) as well as the vomeronasal organ (VNO)
Several cell types in the VNO were able to be infected and they also found significant inflammatory activity (macrophage activation, apoptotic cells, etc)
The specifics of how covid actually causes dysosmia are not known for sure but epithelial damage by local inflammatory immune responses likely plays a role, especially because sensory neurons themselves are not affected (Bilinska, & Butowt, 2020). Therefore I would suggest a potential similar effect of VNO dysfunction as we see in the main olfactory bulb
From Seo et al.: “Considering the function of the VNO, infection and subsequent pathologic changes may affect the behavior of Syrian hamsters”
If it stands to reason that omegaverse individuals have functioning VNOs similar to members of the animal kingdom, then it is more than reasonable to conclude that covid may cause them to lose not only their main olfactory function, but also their VNO function as well
References: (1) (2)
In conclusion the omegaverse economy IS in shambles.
OP this is very well-written but im still hung up on how you came onstage dressed as a clown only to tear off the costume and reveal yourself as a biologist
I saw this one panel on twt and I couldn’t help it… seonghae is a sweet gal but if it’s saheon maybe she’d just tell him bc he’s kinda dumb like that-

awesome that you can form a bond through gay sex which neither of you are engaging in, you're just both thinking about it really hard
There's worse to come, folks. Strap in and stay strapped.
Fascists get months and these guys get decades....just incredible how far the USA has fallen.
From PM Press on Instagram:
Activists who didn't plan the protest and left when asked still received 50-year terms.
The crackdown on anti-ICE activists in Texas reflects a pattern of intensifying repression all around the country.
