My Reality & Fantasy

Listen, I've been here since 2009, so no, I won't share my age because none of you need to know. I seen all the drama, and nothing is going to stop me from going on this hell site until the day it dies.

No chance, no way, I won’t say I’m in love. Does the Aphrodite have a statue of Gabrielle in her temple?! Yes. Honey, we can see right through you.

Hello, I’m back from Tartarus and this artwork is inspired by the “I Won’t Say I’m In Love” scene from Disney’s Hercules. I was going to post this on my birthday a couple days from now, but I couldn’t wait! Lol.

remember when writers had to be all like: “omg omg lemon starts HERE” y’all are lucky that ao3 has tags and filters you can set

[domicileensnared]

Sometimes shit was marked “lemon” and it’d just be them making out, and sometimes they’d just start pissing on each other

No rules, no laws, you took your life into your hands opening fics

A/N: please don’t sue me, o anime overlords, I’m not making any money off of this! I’m just a broke student! I don’t have any money!

A/N: I totally wrote this while high off 10 Red Bulls wheeeeeee!!!!!

“I get this feeling that I have loved you before. I swear I’ve loved you before.” Dr Covington × Mel from “The Xena Scrolls”. I titled this “On the Way Out”, started on December 14th, finished a couple hours ago. 600+ layers after et voilà! I wish they had explored these two more.

Invisible rope?

[argumate]

no, Lucy Lawless can actually fly, which greatly saved the effects budget.

reblog if you're corny and insufferable

[supreme-leader-stoat]

[lynati]

Yes, but typically we're all TAKING TURNS at being corny and/or insufferable. We don't all hog the ball.

if I had a nickel for every time I loved a witch named agatha

I’d have two nickels.

Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

“how to recognize AI in fanfic” — hey so this is another not-gentle reminder that AI stole from us. it’s using OUR words and OUR sentences and OUR styles.

writing “long” paragraphs is not a sign of AI — it’s 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. it’s a stylistic sentence choice that’s 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.

“YA narrative breaks”? i don’t 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 it’s 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 “sounds like AI” — IT DOESNT! AI STOLE FROM US! AI SOUNDS LIKE US! — 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 “call them out” 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 haven’t, and they will (rightfully) stop writing for spaces that attack them.

anyway. fuck ai.
