"I can't believe humans would hunt the thylacine to extinction, humans are fundamentally evil" Hey, did you know that extinction was long thought to be impossible, and within 50 years of humans realizing that extinction via overhunting was a possibility it practically stopped happening? Did you know that humans are so desperate to prevent more losses that they're funneling millions of collective hours and billions of euros into helping other species? Hours and euros that could be spent on humans, being spent on species on whom humanity's own survival does not depend? Did you know that due to an accidental introduction of rats, the Lord Howe Island stick insect population was brought down to 24 individuals and now there are tens of thousands of them?
This bug. This bug that, to most humans, is utterly useless, relatively gross, and completely foreign. Humans saved it because humans do not want to cause another extinction ever again if they can avoid it.
Senshi facts
- he is 112 years old
- he’s considered feminine for a dwarf in dungeon meshi canon
- he spent most of his life living off of the ecology of the dungeon (monster food) after (insert ptsd inducing backstory) happened when he was just a youngin
- he doesn’t have kids and I genuinely think he’d be a bad parent because of how oblivious he can be at times, but he would try his hardest to keep them well fed
- he assumes that all halflings are children because they are small
- he doesn’t wash his beard and this makes it hard for magic to be cast on him
- he hates magic and sees it as a shortcut to getting things done the hard and right way
- he explains EVERYTHING he does when cooking so that those around him can learn from him
- he would make a great teacher of some kind of dungeon survival skills class
- he has a mithril cooking knife
- he turned a perfectly good mithril shield into a large wok he takes everywhere
- the fact that he is hot without his helmet is initially treated as a gag because of how silly he looks with it on
- he can be very careless outside of his obsession with cooking monsters (ignoring directions from his party members and not taking proper care of his supplies) (so real. adhd representation. not caring about anything but your hyperfocus. I understand king)
- one time he gave the birds and the bees talk to Chilchuck because he thought Chilchuck was a child (he’s literally just a young looking 29 year old halfling with three children) (eventually he realizes that Chilchuck as a halfling is essentially middle aged and they get closer bc he gets over his prejudices)(chilshi shoutout)
- he deeply believes in only taking what you need and giving back what you can. Don’t over harvest. Don’t destroy an ecosystem for your own gain. The ecology of the dungeon is important for everyone.
- again his hyperfixation is cooking monsters and he is in canon the best monster food chef in the world
- (MANGA SPOILERS) he tells a character who was (spoiler spoiler spoiler) and is left feeling like the scraps of food left behind on the plate that vegetable scraps can always be used to grow something new and should never be thrown away 🩵
VOTE SENSHI!
Also shoutout to chilshi everyone get more chilshi pilled right now

Woah dude
I'm 400k words deep into my current fanfic and it's for a ship where I am the single-paddling kayaker (AKA, no one else ships it and maybe never will). I figured that people might show up and like it well enough, but I also believed that I would not get much more than a handful of kudos and less than ten comments. I understand it's a huge commitment to read something about— *checks notes* five normal books long (oh god) featuring a pairing no one else had brought up before. I knew no one shared my vision.
That is, until I gained a dedicated reader, who, without fail, visits every new chapter with extreme furor and excitement. It makes my day every single time seeing that little "(1)" next to my inbox. I was losing motivation to post updates until she showed up somewhere around chapter 35 like a lighthouse in the middle of a raging seastorm. My fic has 70+ comments now, and they are mainly just me and her for the most part.
This gif is how I feel when I'm editing now. The fic is for her... Only 12 chapters left... We're going to finish this journey.
If there is an on-going longfic you're reading right now, please leave a comment telling the author how much you are enjoying it! I promise it will make their day!
UPDATE!
It is done!! AFTER AN ENTIRE YEAR I DID IT!!! I COMPLETED THE LONGEST FIC I'VE EVER WRITTEN!
Onto the next~
first in my bloodline to read and write gay fanfiction
i got a fucking. advertisement on youtube. from google ai. saying. without sarcasm and with complete sincerity. "if shakespeare is too hard for you, you can always have our ai explain it to you." im gonna throw up. im gonna throw a molotov cocktail. if i see that ad again im reporting it for hate speech. how fucking dare you. i will kill you with my bare hands. with my exit pursued by a bear hands. i will tear google headquarters down brick by brick. im going to start biting people.
And now's a good time to remember and remind that even old plays and poems are not actually arcane and incomprehensible ancient riddles that require a massive IQ to 'get'. They're literally mass entertainment made to be enjoyed. You can read them and you can 'understand them' because they are not a problem to be solved, they are entertainment. You might miss some stuff because they're old and we live in a different culture, but if you want to read shakespeare, you can literally just go read shakespeare. An ai doesn't have to read shakespeare in your place because you won't even gain the entertainment factor then, nevermind the nonexistent arcane ancient high iq puzzle prizes, because there are none.
Goes for everything other than that too.
Honestly, a lot of Shakespeare is him writing jokes and using wordplay, so his stuff is a lot of fun once you get into them.

HAPPY 3️⃣RD ANNIVERSARY TO FFXVI !!! 💖💖💖
i really wanted to do a triptych for this year 😊
to be clear, I believe younger artists and minors can write good fics (not to say “fanfic must always be good” either because it is a hobby and I still believe that as long as it’s done with love and the artist’s joy, it is good) and I believe it’s good when younger artists and minors start making art at young ages.
that said, a lot of fanfics out there that you read and love are done by adults with kids, jobs and responsibilities. adults who have years, decades of practice under their belts. adults who don’t let life and responsibilities take away their joy in creating.
someone’s love and passion don’t suddenly go away the second they reach a certain age. so if anything, I feel sorry for people who say “adults shouldn’t write fanfics or make fan art” because what these people really say is that they expect themselves to stop having fun and finding comfort in things that bring them joy and comfort the second they reach a certain age. it’s sad that they put an expiration date on their own fun and source of comfort.
Also... Who do they think makes all the TV shows, movies, books, etc. that they like? Adults made those. Adults are allowed to be whimsical and creative and have fun just as much as kids are. Adults are allowed to discover fanfics well into their 30s and learn how to draw in their 50s. Nobody stops being human or learning new skills or finding new fandoms after their 18th birthday.
And to the surprise of absolutely no one, fandoms that are predominantly packed with teens and children are absolutely flooded with drama and complaining and non-stop issues. No thanks. I had my full of that 20 years ago.
okay, i’m curious. let’s play a game. reblog this post and put in the tags the name of a fictional Indigenous character.
No headcanons, no ‘coding’, only CANONICALLY Indigenous characters. You have unlimited time. Go.
if another FUCKING person mentions the fucking werewolves from twilight I'm going to burn this whole site down and take you all with me
looked at so many photos of people hugging cows for this one
