Vertical CDrama Trope:
Spoiled spouse (and family and possibly lover) abuses their partner XYZ ____ on the assumption that they won't face consequences because the XYZ family protects and nurtures their family.
Is completely blindsided when XYZ family turns on them.
The fact that the partner is a member of the XYZ family seems to escape them entirely. And I know unrelated people share the same surname, but you'd think they'd at least start getting a clue when things go south for them.
I have an idea.
Your honor, I love them!

I got another spam comment today on AO3, and I want to share it as a PSA. But before I do, I want you to understand that you SHOULD NOT DO what this comment is asking. Ok? Ok.
See that bit at the bottom? Don't do that. Insert ParamedicGuy.gif going "Don't."
Other malicious spam comments I've gotten seemed designed to make an author question their writing, or outright encourage them to delete their stories from AO3. This one is different, in that it tries to get you to destroy the work on your own computer.
If you ran that command, it basically locates your Documents folder, then deletes everything in it, including all subfolders. It also does it without any prompt, so you have no chance to second guess your actions.
This is just fucking trolling.
Coincidentally, we just did training on a cyberattack similar to this, called a ClickFix attack. You can read about how that works here.
As a general rule, if ANYONE or ANY WEBSITE tells you unsolicited* to do anything in Powershell, CMD RUN, command prompt, shell command, or something similar, DON'T.
*There are legit reasons for running commands in PowerShell or the command prompt, but in those cases you are likely seeking out a solution to a problem you are already experiencing. Don't just run random commands on your computer as recommended by some unlogged-in guest on a fan fiction site.
Always think and consider before taking action, and get a second opinion from a trusted source. When I got this comment I was pretty sure what the command would do, and it took me about three seconds of googling to confirm it.
Be safe out there!
if you see a command with -force or -f, and you do not understand what the command is doing (and honestly, even if you do!), do not run it. -f/-force is saying "execute this, do not prompt me to confirm that I meant to do it, I know what I'm doing".
Every year, doctors at a hospital in the Yunnan Province of China brace themselves for an influx of people with an unusual complaint. The patients come with a strikingly odd symptom: visions of pint-sized, elf-like figures – marching under doors, crawling up walls and clinging to furniture. The hospital treats hundreds of these cases every year. All share a common culprit: Lanmaoa asiatica, a type of mushroom that forms symbiotic relationships with pine trees in nearby forests and is a locally popular food, known for its savory, umami-packed flavor. In Yunnan, L. asiatica is sold in markets, it appears on restaurant menus and is served at home during peak mushroom season between June and August.
i love bizzarely specific hallucinogens
The hospital treats hundreds of these cases every year. All share a common culprit: Lanmaoa asiatica, a type of mushroom that forms symbiotic relationships with pine trees in nearby forests and is a locally popular food, known for its savory, umami-packed flavor. In Yunnan, L. asiatica is sold in markets, it appears on restaurant menus and is served at home during peak mushroom season between June and August. One must be careful to cook it thoroughly, though, otherwise the hallucinations will set in. "At a mushroom hot pot restaurant there, the server set a timer for 15 minutes and warned us, 'Don't eat it until the timer goes off or you might see little people,'" says Colin Domnauer, a doctoral candidate in biology at the University of Utah and the Natural History Museum of Utah, who is studying L. asiatica. "It seems like very common knowledge in the culture there." [...]
He and his team are still trying to identify the chemical compound responsible for the hallucinations in L. asiatica. Current tests suggest it is not likely related to any other known psychedelic compound. For one, the trips it produces are unusually long, commonly lasting one to three days after an onset of 12 to 24 hours, and in some cases even causing hospital stays of up to a week. Because of the extraordinarily long duration of these trips and the chance for prolonged side effects such as delirium and dizziness, Domnauer has yet to try the raw mushrooms himself. These mega-trips might help to explain why people in China, the Philippines and Papua New Guinea do not seem to have a tradition of purposefully seeking out L. asiatica for its psychoactive effects, according to Domnauer's findings. "It was always just eaten for food," Domnauer says, with hallucinations being an unexpected side-effect. There's another curious factor: other known psychedelic compounds also usually produce idiosyncratic trips that vary not only from person to person but also from one experience to the next within the same individual. With L. asiatica, though, "the perception of little people is very reliably and repeatedly reported", Domnauer says. "I don't know of anything else that produces such consistent hallucinations."
I'm really intrigued by the fact that the hallucination is shared. The question is, does someone entirely unaware of that particular vision get it? If not, it might be due to expectations. If so... why?

Sometimes stuff comes into the message box, and all I can do is sit and shake my head at it, and delete. But sometimes I troll back a bit. And I haven't had my tea yet this morning, and I'm feeling just a little bit edgy. So...
This person has kindly offered to help me market and sell my books. While also having, in their profile, an egregious and truly rookie-level error of English usage... the sight of which immediately rendered me about as likely to ever let them near my prose, as, well, the Most Unlikely Thing You Can Think Of.
So here's the exchange so far. Let's see how this goes. If they redeem themselves somehow, I will not reveal their identity. But if they don't... well, might as well warn people what they're getting into if they team up with them, yeah?
(And also: this may indeed be just a bot [and for all we know, the innocent-looking front end of what may be one of the increasingly common indie-publishing-flavored "pig-butchering" scams. Or an AI-prompt scraper]. Well, I've seen my kitties have as much fun with mechanical toys as with real rats...)
Anyway—
Grammar problems already. And no punctuation. Tsk tsk.
...I'll edit this post later and add screenshots if there are any further developments. :)
"you are the one that supposed to tell me about your books" no. i am a wretched little raccoon living under a porch.

Pondering with @capriceandwhimsy what the KPop Demon Hunters basic premise (demon hunters who are also singers whose magic song maintains the barrier to protect humans from the demon realm) would look like in other countries, i.e., America.
While there are obvious parallels to be drawn between the Saja Boys and the Spice Girls, I pointed out that there ought to be at least some measure of religious connection (since the original Hunters were clearly mudang, a type of priestess who performs ritual songs and dances.) Perhaps the american Hunters would be more likely to turn up in gospel choirs? Perhaps jazz is the ultimate conduit to driving away demonic forces?
Imagine the Calloway Brothers as demon hunters. Supernatural is in this extended universe too, except Sam and Dean have to sing and dance everywhere they go.
The series is an old one and hard to come by, but...
Manley Wade Wellman's Silver John comes to mind.

Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.
AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.
well…darn
like to charge reblog to cast financial ruin of the AI industry 🔮
hi!!!!! i’m an actual librarian who has encountered this very situation before!!!!! and while i commend & admire op’s willingness to help another patron, this is why you really really should have a library worker, not another patron whom you don’t know, assist you with tech & information related issues in the library!!! because we are trained in how to handle this exact sort of thing
tl;dr: use proton mail. i’m not gonna gatekeep this info. it does not require a cell phone number, so it’s my go to for patrons in this situation!!! while i am acutely aware of the harm done by the digital divide & how many people are getting left behind as our world gets increasingly tech dependent, the situation is not hopeless. there ARE provisions in place to help the people most affected, and those provisions are usually wearing glasses & cardigans & sitting behind the circulation desk
librarians are not glorified bookworms!!!! we are information professionals who are highly trained in how to handle these sorts of seemingly impossible binds!!!! ask us for help!!!!!! as i always tell my patrons, that’s what i get paid the big bucks for
The excerpt paragraph made me look up and stare at my wife for three solid minutes waiting for them to return to the couch. I couldn’t move on with my life. I had to read it aloud to them to their audible disgust and then they read all the comments with unbridled delight.
Now we keep repeating “Like Zorro.”
Im so sorry to subject everyone to this
But genuinely, cure your imposter syndrome guys. Look at what passes for publication. And realize that you are, in fact, better.
Queen you surely did cure my imposter syndrome, but I also miss the person I was 3 minutes ago
Nobody seems to have pointed out in all of this that at one point she apparently has three hands???
She is grabbing for his cock while ALSO deeply scratching his back at the same time??? like he clearly says AS SHE GRABS FOR HIS COCK, so like, happening concurrently as she is grabbing for his penis, she ALSO scratches his back deeply with the nails of both hands.
Is there a third hand going on somewhere? Is she grabbing with her mouth, somehow? With her vagina? I don't know.
This is worse sex than I have seen written on Vampire: the Masquerade IRC chats, and that's saying something.
Okay, the sex alone was bad enough but...
Is no one going to point out that that's a run-on sentence from hell?
