ancient roman women whose husband keeps looking at the neighbour's boy quintus and he never looks at her that way and she can't even chainsmoke in the kitchen because they don't have marlboro blues in ancient times. and she can't even go to the club because they haven't discovered drum and bass music yet. her friend clodia's having visions of a woman named doechii but neither of them knows what that means

The two wolves inside every writer: "this is genuinely the best thing i have ever written. i am gifted. i am changed. this paragraph alone justifies my entire existence on this planet." and then five minutes later, same paragraph: "who wrote this. who allowed this. this reads like a golden retriever trying to describe grief. i need to lie down and reconsider everything." both wolves are always wrong. the paragraph is fine. you need a snack.

I felt this in my soul 🤡

[hostilecandle]

If ANY of yall EVER do this shit to me, im deleting every single fic out of spite.

If I ever catch one of yall doing this to another author and I know youre a follower of my work I will block you personally on every platform

None of yall are the fic police. I DESPISE genai. I think its an insult to art, humanity, and the planet itself. But aint not a single fucking person here qualified to pick apart a strangers fic looking for a gotcha moment to make yourselves feel superior. If you think something is ai you can ask the author (most are proud of the ai use and will just tell you straight up) if they say yes you have your answer and can warn people. If they say no and you dont believe them you block and quietly keep it between you and maybe a close group of friends. Spreading misinformation is DANGEROUS. And NONE of you doing this shit are anywhere near qualified to do it.

THIS GOES DOUBLY FOR ARTISTS.

[hodari-pavels-good-boy]

Posting this here from my main too bc I feel that strongly about it

You dont get to witch hunt and scour peoples work just frothing at the mouth hoping someone messes up so you can publicly humiliate and gang up on them. Fuck genai and every single poser and lover that uses it but if you are not 1000000000% certain that something is made with it you shut. the. fuck. up.

Pathetic loser behavior on display here

[mintedwitcher]

I'm about to get mean because this shit? this pisses me all the way off.

"hurr durr these very common writing practices are SUPER OBVIOUS AI TELLS!!!!!!!!!! obviously this is an AI invention and not the result of AI being trained on THOUSANDS OF REAL FUCKING STORIES!!!!!!! we're all very intelligent!!!!!!!"

I hate yall. I hate yall for fucking ruining fanfic with your goddamn motherfucking AI obsession. "ooh there's em dashes!" YEAH REAL WRITERS USE THOSE. "there's long paragraphs!" YEAH BECAUSE THATS HOW PEOPLE WRITE STORIES.

we're not "writing like AI" - AI is writing like us, because it fucking stole from us in the first fucking place.

I've never used AI in my work, not ever, but guess what, my fics are ALL written like that. long paragraphs, long sentences, em dashes and hyphens and other grammatical tools, because I fucking know HOW TO WRITE.

quite frankly, if you think these things are "genAI inventions" you're just telling the world that YOU DON'T READ ENOUGH.

[thatdisasterauthor]

And you don't put spaces around em dashes???

[thebibliosphere]

Right???? Like, tell me you don't read books or know English grammar rules without telling me you don't read books or know English grammar rules and are trying to use it as a gotcha for people who do know what they're doing.

Fuck outta here.

(Also, yes, you'll see spaces around em dashes in journalism, but for fiction and academia, it is the expected norm to not have spaces. Some people add spaces out of personal preference, but the expected norm in fiction is no spaces.

Now, if you're using an en dash, those should have spaces, but em dashes and en dashes are not the same thing!)

[the-real-seebs]

i remember seeing someone confidently claiming that the word "delve" was unique to llms, and my friend, you have clearly never played old-school RPGs or you'd have read grimtooth's traps at least once and you would not say that shit.

seriously, remember this: llms are trained on text that was, for the most part, written by humans. everything they're doing with em dashes or whatever is something they're doing because humans did it often enough for them to learn it.

Okay so get this: Zack thinks Cloud's hair looks like a chocobos hair, right? But then he buys a beak for him, secretly puts it on while Cloud's asleep, and then takes a picture to show Genesis, Sephiroth, Angeal, and everyone he can possibly find

(sorry it's long, it sounded better in my head)

*The day after*

Lazard: What are everyone's plans for today?

Angeal: I have to go take down the rest of the photos from the walls.

Genesis: I have to go visit Zack at the hospital.

Sephiroth: I have to go visit Cloud in prison.

Alright people, calm down. Lidia Franco just made her statement. I didn’t translate everything because a lot is them contextualizing the other articles, but I translated the important parts and I leave you the link, so you can check it out for yourselves, okay?

https://www.nit.pt/cultura/cinema/nao-foi-uma-agressao-lidia-franco-diz-que-historia-sobre-adam-driver-foi-mal-entendido

Portuguese:

Lidia: “As nossas personagens, no filme ‘O Homem que Matou Dom Quixote’, tinham de estar fisicamente próximas”, explica a atriz. “Considerei o comportamento do ator pouco delicado porque na preparação de uma cena não teve o cuidado que julgo deveria ter tido. As nossas personagens tinham que estar fisicamente próximas e, cada vez que ele se levantava com o grande ímpeto da personagem para fazer o resto da cena, a cadeira onde estava sentado tocava-me com uma certa força, o que me incomodou.”

Translation:

Lidia: “In the movie, The Man who Killed Dom Quixote, our characters had to be physically near,” the actress explained. “I thought the actor’s behavior wasn’t very delicate during scene preparation. Our characters had to be physically near and, each time he got up, acting out his character’s impulsive nature to carry out the rest of the scene, his chair would poke me with a force that bothered me.”

She goes on to say that despite her discomfort, and it being visible, Adam showed himself indifferent and kept getting up in such a way. She adds that she was misinterpreted before and that she had no intention of harming the actor’s career.

Portuguese:

Lídia: “Não foi uma agressão, nem nunca senti ou reportei que fosse essa a intenção do ator. Lamento todo o mal-entendido”, acrescenta ainda a atriz.

Translation:

Lídia: “It wasn’t assault, I never felt that it was, or that the actor was doing it intentionally to hurt me. I’m sorry for this misunderstanding.” the actress added.

There you guys have it. He got up too brashly, the chair poked her, she was uncomfortable. People could have avoided this by sliding the chair a little to the side...

I hope everyone will calm down now and please learn not to draw hasty conclusions. 

[rafaliterary]

Someone on tumblr found the longer Podcast. 

What she says on there is pretty much what the articles say, with one difference: 

Adam hurt her during a scene but she says it wasn’t scripted. She says he hurt her with a chair, claiming it was a “cloaked assault”, like, a disguised assault. 

Now, this is my opinion, she was an actress who had 3 lines. During this time, she was filming a Novela (soap opera) and travelling between cities, staying little time on-set. She might not have liked him as a person, either because of his intensity or because she caught him on bad days. 

Adam might have gone off-book in the scene, improvised or something, and ended up hurting her. Lidia is very posh and polite, she might have taken offence with Adam. She might have taken it personally. Maybe they both didn’t like each other or one of them didn’t like the other. Maybe she truly thought he meant to hurt her. Maybe he didn’t apologize. Who knows.

Lidia was given the option to leave the movie, she didn't. When the interviewers wanted to know more she brushed it off.

I’m not saying the incident didn’t happen. I believe Lidia got hurt. I’m saying: did he intentionally hurt her? I hope not, from what we see, he seems like a good person.

I hope it was just an unfortunate accident. If it wasn’t, if he truly meant to harm her, it’s sad and wrong, of course.

If anything else is revealed, I’ll follow-up and update you guys with true info.

Again, I’m not discrediting this actress or saying that Adam is a saint (no one is), but sometimes things get blown out of proportion. Don’t jump the gun, guys.

We might never know anything else. But it’s like I said before, Joana Ribeiro was the main actress, spent 3 months filming with Adam, never complained, only had good things to say after they shot.

I don’t know. I’m going to bed now, it’s 2am here. Don’t think too hard on this, guys, care about the corona virus and your loved ones.

[rafaliterary]

Hi guys, I'm Portuguese and I've listened to the podcast where the source is supposedly from. The actress mentions the movie but says nothing about Adam. Someone on here says there's a longer cut? If there is, it hasn't been released.

As for the articles, I read some and wrote this:

So. I think everyone needs to calm down.

And no offense, but in Portugal, the only time I hear about Adam Driver is either because I'm talking about him or because he was nominated for an Oscar. It's the first time I've read his name in a Portuguese article (not counting SW). Whether or not Adam kicked or threw something or was rude, things are being blown out of proportion.

Like I said, wait for a follow up if there is one.

Reblogging for the future

[rafaliterary]

[rafaliterary]

So much wasted potential... It truly hurts what they did in Tros. How can I be even more disappointed after near 4 months of grieving? 😞😞

[greyjediwriter]

Disney. Lucasfilm. We get it.

(Footage of the everyday blog reader asking what the hell I’m talking about)

You want to make sure all the stories that deal with the Skywalkers suck (the sequel trilogy, Solo & Rogue One, the Obi-Wan series, etc) so you can create brand new stories that you hope the fans will love.

And also make sure we can forget about the original movies and what they were about: the Skywalker family who is now dead by their clan’s archenemy and his granddaughter. Despite the granddaughter being innocent in the situation.

But... that’s gonna backfire on you. Bad.

People are going to think you lost your touch. People will think George Lucas shouldn’t have sold the entire company to you if they haven’t already. And people will not show up in the seats at the movies.

Especially when you keep retconning the story you want to die already.

You underestimate the Star Wars fandom. The Skywalkers are why we loved the story in the first place, and you killing the last of the Skywalker bloodline has already made you lose many fans. And you will eventually lose MONEY.

You know? The very thing you want to sit on in your bank accounts and not keep it filtering through the economy by paying many of your lower wage workers better?

You guys look disorganized and unprofessional. Those from LF who are on social media, please just back off. You’re not helping your company’s situation. And if the company is telling you to do that, take this as a complaint to your company that I want you to stop. You may be part of a lifeless corporation, but you’re dealing with people who have real emotions and want you to understand why they’re feeling that way.

Telling them to move on does no good. Everyone in the fandom has dealt with this is some shape or form, and invalidating their feelings causes you to eventually lose money because you’re losing fans one by one. I’ve already unfollowed you everywhere on social media. And I’m on the verge of deciding pass on future projects you have because I don’t trust your ability to actually create good stories. You just want cash grabs. It’s tacky and we’ve been over it since the dawn of time.

You want people to be excited for your new stuff? You shouldn’t have let JJ be an idiot and constantly change the story WHILE FILMING (!!!!!!) and end up creating the worst plot of the entire Star Wars saga. You shouldn’t have killed off Ben Solo. You honestly shouldn’t have hired Adam Driver if killing off his character was your end goal - he brought something we thought we would never see on screen and want more of it. You also should have a better social media analytics team because then you would have actually seen what the people wanted.

Oh wait you ignored your social media and paid attention to the small group of people who were trolling just for the hell of it.

Just... stop making all the stories about the Skywalkers and Kenobis a guaranteed failure so you stop making projects about them. You’re gonna end up bringing back Ben Solo sooner than later because it’s going to be fuck up after fuck up and oh look, here’s what will save the entire franchise...

So.

The Tros novelization came out. It's... not an improvement to the movie. It just poured salt on the wound.

I don't know if this has been done yet, but hey...
