Let Paimon Bite People

my AO3 the ship names I tag things with have nothing to do with top/bottom or D/s dynamics

I can't believe I have to say it but radfems—and any other kinds of transphobes—are NOT welcome here. Go away.

Still figuring out how'd I like to draw him. Stole a couple catalyst ideas from the other canon catalyst users. Isn't he adorable? My headcanon is that Polar Star can be transformed into any weapon, like a catalyst or a polearm, but often he just slings it on his back and uses his hydro weapons.

This, admittedly, took too long for a simple sketch. Sigh... maybe next time, I'll put him in a mirror

I often wonder what happened to authors of unfinished fanfictions.

Reblog if that unfinished fic haunts you to this day

I’m blindsided by authors using ai in their works. how can readers and writers tell if the writing is ai generated?

I’m gonna assume writers know whether or not their own works are ai because they either write them themselves or have ai write for them.

but as for readers (or writers who read other writers’ works), no, you can’t tell unless the writer themself says their works are ai generated. anything else is witch hunt, speculations and possibly wrongful accusations — all of which harm the writing community as much as ai does, if not more.

so if at any point you think an untagged work is ai and if that bothers you, quietly click away. but you can never know for sure based on vibes. because everything ai writes, a human writer does. that’s what ai was trained on and what it was trained to mimic.

I’ve already talked more about this here, here, here. and more on my other blog @writingdose here and here.

You can notice certain telltale signs in some of the writing, such as short sentence stacking and usage of "not x not y but z" structures. But you have to be familiar with AI writing styles to be able to notice that.

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

I’ve been writing “not x, not y, but z” way before gen ai became a thing. I’ve read works that have “not x, not y, but z” in them, and I’ve read those works way before gen ai became a thing. I’ve also been using em dash way before gen ai became a thing, and I’ve seen em dash used in so many written works way before gen ai became a thing. I know for a fact some human writers actually prefer short sentence stacking too.

every “ai telltale” is something humans write before, otherwise ai wouldn’t have been able to mimic it in the first place. because it needs human-made works to mimic on.

when I say ai witch hunt, speculations and accusations harm the writing community as much as ai does, if not more, “not x, not y, but z” and em dash are one of the main things I’m talking about.

you know, we've fought 5 harbingers now in-game

childe, la signora, scaramouche, alrecchino, and now il dottore

and i just realized that every one of them has had the fatui motif woven somewhere into their boss themes, except il dottore

these themes have always been biographical in nature, and anyone who listens deeply can follow all of the major beats of a character's story, learning as they go how the character feels about those defining aspects of their past

so, with this understanding, it is extremely revealing how the fatui motif doesn't even get so much as an homage in dottore's theme

the harbingers never mattered to him, even though they saved him. their mission never impressed him, despite allowing him to pursue all of those discoveries that would have otherwise alluded him. why, it's likely that he never even considered himself to be part of their membership, only wearing the title like a mask because it provided the most convenient means to achieve his own ambitions.

anyway, that's just a little food for thought from someone who listens to way too much of this game's soundtrack

Dottore, changing into his boss fight form: You know, I was always something of an atheist, but it turns out all I needed to do was believe in myself.
