I just wanted to update again on my stance on ai, I am against the use of generative ai. I think that it kills creativity. Art is meant to be creative, whether it's drawing, writing, music or any form of art... It's meant to be creative.

I know recently I've came out with a lot of fics at once or very close together. Yes, I know thats weird, it looks bad on me. But when I have something fully written I don't like getting into the habit of waiting to post it. That's why it took me months to finally clear out my drafts and post a ton of fics around the same month.

I will say this, I know I don't use ai, I don't need other peoples validation to know that I don't. I know I've spent my hours writing, rewording, using grammarly, and cutting scenes out.

I run my fics through an ai checker before I post them, every time. And yes, sometimes they come back as maybe 30% ai... I don't know why. Oh wait, yes I do. Ai learns from us. Don't we all remember back around May, when a ton of peoples fics were scanned by Open ai? Because I surely do. It took phrases we use, words, slang, everything. It took it all and uses it to make it's own writing more 'human'.

My words are not 'ai sayings' or 'phrases', it's mine. It's everytime I've heard someone say a word and searched it up, it's when I've read someone elses fic and fell inlove with how they worded it, it's learning how I can make my sentences better.

Another point, I'm a teenage girl who will resay 'iconic' or 'ooh' a thousand times. Ask my mutuals if you really doubt that. Reusing a phrase isn't a sign of ai it's a sign of being human and liking certain words. It's a habit everyone has. I'm guilty of it, you are, your friends are. Its a human habit.

If you don't want to read my fics because they're supposedly ai, that's fine. Ao3 has a block feature, that's fine to block me. It won't hurt my feelings. Social media is fun in that way.

Thank you for hopefully reading this all and I hope that you continue to read my fics.

it comes from my 5th grade music group that happened during the first year of Covid when we were stuck at home hence the Home part, then glitch is because computers glitch. Once I left I took the name with me

zanderandtheexistentialcrisis

ooh cool. I know I wasn't tagged but I like yappin'. my username is from my character in Stardew valley, a handsome young purple twink that shares my name. The existential crisis bit comes from my almost constant crisis's.

theconfusedacorn

Okay well- not tagged, but my username does actually have a long, complicated, and meandering story behind it, so read it if you wanna:

Initially, I had called myself Kashi Draws (original. I know. Slap 'Draws' onto the end of any name and boom. Artist. It's a canon event for all of us, I swear.) on most platforms, but then, one fateful day, I had been drawing Acorn (At the time named "Kashi") and a girl in my drama class saw it, and was like: "Oh cool, is she a squirrel?"

Now, before this very moment. No. Kashi (Acorn) was not a squirrel. She WAS a wolf at some point, but eventually, I just gave her non-descript animal features. I couldn't figure out what animal I wanted her to be.

But then, that person in my drama class said that.

And everything just clicked.

So I said, "Yeah"

It wasn't all that hard for me to go from squirrel to acorn, plus I've always liked acorns.

As for the "confused" part, I just decided I was a very confused guy and made it my entire internet personality.

So yeah. There's the story of TheConfusedAcorn :p

Some tags:

strangestcase

You guys already know, from my blog theme, but I’m a sucker for The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and what better url than strangestcase?

Anyhow, tagging @lucywesternra @nemeyuko and @eksentrismi

lucywesternra

Lucy Westenra from Dracula is such an integral part of who I am as a person, so when I remade my blog I wanted to keep the Lucy Theme of the url (it used to be wildwestenra, a Lucy x Quincey ship name variant). Since I also love cowboys and country music, I decided to spell Westenra as Westernra! Just a silly little pun lol. Although it does low-key look like I just misspelled her last name KAKDKAJD

Tagging @jzzter, @s1lents4mura1, and @kronofobia !! No pressure I’m just the most curious where y’all’s usernames come from :]

s1lents4mura1

WAAAAAA SJSJJS THANK YOU FOR THE TAG, LUCCCCYYY!! ^^

awkwardrains

Thx for the tag Em!!

Let's see, AwkwardRains.

Awkward because I tend to feel that way about alot of things. I've gotten better! But at this point it's a key point to my personal jokes.

Rains. That has to due to with my irl family lol. I'll leave it at that.

I have 3 users actually for different media's depending on what it is. For video games, it's Tecknosun and Awkwardmech

Awkwardmech is also used for a few other things outside of video games.

Awkwardrains though is my artist handle (it used to be Tecknosun but I wanted to incorporate Rains seeing as it holds an irl value to me)

Christmas Eve smells like garlic and butter and wine.

The table is a mess in the best way—crumbs everywhere, an empty bottle tipped on its side, the good bread torn apart with hands instead of knives. Lando is laughing about something dumb, something about Carlos would say the pasta needs exactly two more minutes next time, and Oscar is warm in that loose, boneless way that only happens when he forgets to be careful.

The doorbell rings.

Lando stands immediately. “That’ll be it,” he says, already moving. “I ordered something last minute, don’t yell at me.”

Oscar huffs. “You’re impossible.”

“Yet beloved,” Lando shoots back over his shoulder.

The door opens.

Oscar doesn’t hear anything strange. No bang. No shout. No sound at all, really—just a heavy, wrong thud that rattles through the floorboards.

“Lando?” Oscar calls, smiling, still seated. “You okay? Did you trip?”

No answer.

He stands, mildly annoyed, heading toward the hall. “If you spilled wine on the—”

He smells it first.

Iron. Sharp and thick, like a coin pressed to the tongue. Under it, faint but unmistakable: burned powder.

I love ur dark / angst (with a happy ending) fanfics! Have u ever written any noncon-centric angst? I feel like u would write it well tbh I would even read it if it had a sad ending if it came from u

i don't have any plans to! but i do have a fic called 'lost in the fire' which is a cnc roleplay!

He wants his mum to be right here, now, immediately.

A car pulls up across the street.

Not a taxi.

Black. Clean. Too quiet.

Oscar doesn’t look at it at first. He keeps staring down the road in the direction Mum is supposed to come from. Traffic hisses by. A bus passes without slowing.

Then the car door opens.

Footsteps move through the rain.

Measured. Unhurried.

Someone stops in front of him.

Oscar looks up.

The man is tall. Dark coat. No umbrella. The rain beads on his shoulders like he doesn’t notice it at all. His smile is small, polite, practiced.

“Oscar,” the man says.

Oscar’s stomach drops.

“…Yes?”

“I’m a friend of your mother’s,” the man says gently. “She asked me to make sure you weren’t waiting out here alone.”

Relief and fear hit at the same time.

“Mum’s late,” Oscar blurts. “She was supposed to be here already.”

“I know,” the man says smoothly. “Something urgent came up. She’s on her way, but she didn’t want you standing in the rain.”

He gestures to the car behind him.

“She asked me to drive you home.”

Oscar hesitates.

He’s been raised well. Don’t go with strangers. Don’t get in cars you don’t know. Don’t talk to people who already know your name when you don’t know theirs.

“What’s… what’s your name?” Oscar asks quietly.

The man’s smile deepens just a touch.

“J.P.”

Prequel to ‘the grudge’ 1/1

Lando studies Oscar for another second, then glances at the discarded number on the floor.

“Eighty-one,” he says aloud, testing it like a placeholder. “That’s what I’ll call you for now, yeah?”

Oscar stiffens.

It’s safer than a name. He nods.

“Alright,” Lando says evenly. “Eighty-one it is. For now.”

The words shouldn’t matter. They do anyway. They slide into the empty space where Oscar’s real name used to live and settle there uneasily.

Lando turns toward an adjoining doorway. “Bathroom’s through there. Shower. Hot. As long as you want.”

Oscar doesn’t move.

Lando notices immediately. Of course he does.

“I’m not locking you in,” he says calmly. “And I’m not bringing the medic in while you still smell like the floor of an auction house. That’s just rude.”

‘i’d wear your heart’ on ao3, 3/3 🩷

The lights dimmed just a little, candles flickering across the cake as someone started the familiar tune. It was off-key, chaotic, more shouting than singing—but Charles’ smile made it holy. He leaned over the cake, his curls catching the candle glow, and blew them out in one breath.

Applause followed, whistles and cheers bouncing off the walls. Pascale dabbed at her eyes discreetly; Arthur clapped him on the back with enough force to jostle him; Lando nearly knocked over a wine glass trying to get closer.

Logan stood a little behind the crowd, his phone up, filming. The screen recorded the moment, but Logan’s eyes didn’t leave Charles himself—the ease in his posture, the quiet radiance he carried even when the world had done everything to try and dim it.

Here was the man who played piano until the strings ached, who brewed two espressos in the morning without asking which one Logan preferred, who somehow always knew what Logan was feeling before Logan had the words for it.

The man who’d lost so much—his father, his godfather, Jules—and still, still had never let the grief calcify into cruelty. Logan couldn’t picture Charles being cruel if he tried. Even when Ferrari broke his heart on live television, even when the internet twisted him into a caricature, mocking him for being too soft, too emotional—Charles never lashed out. He wore kindness like armor, and it never seemed to crack.

Charles cut into the cake with steady hands, passing out slices, his smile bright and tired and real. The camera caught the moment, but Logan barely looked at the recording. He just watched. And somewhere deep in his chest, something both hurt and healed at once.

They slipped out into the morning air, cool and damp, the stones of the house darkened by rain. Charles traced his fingers along the walls, where ivy crept upward in twisting patterns. “It looks like it’s been here forever,” he said softly.

Max shoved his hands in his pockets. “Most things in France look like they’ve been here forever.”

Charles wandered further, toward the apple tree just outside the fence. He hesitated for a heartbeat before climbing over.

“Charles,” Max warned, already sounding exhausted.

Charles grinned, reaching up and plucking an apple with an easy twist. “They won’t miss one.”

“You’re stealing.”

“Borrowing,” Charles corrected, already biting into it. Juice dripped down his chin, and he laughed—bright and delighted. “Mon dieu. It’s the best apple I’ve ever had.”

Max just shook his head, but the corners of his mouth twitched.

Further along the path, they discovered it—the hidden dining spot. A little oak table, chairs tangled with wildflowers creeping up their legs, tucked away where the path curved near the sound of running water.

Charles stopped dead. “Max.”

Max looked around once, slower, quieter now. Even he had to admit—it was beautiful. Intimate. Like the house itself had secrets.

Charles turned to him, voice low. “Logan has no idea what he’s given us.”

The rain had thinned to a mist, the kind that clung to their hair and jackets. Charles dragged Max along the garden path, fingers brushing the ivy curling up the stone walls, before they looped back toward the apple tree.

“He’s… quiet,” Charles said finally, voice hushed like Logan might overhear through the glass. “Too quiet, maybe.”

Max kicked at the damp gravel. “A week out here alone will do that. But it feels like more than that.”

Charles glanced at him, curious.

Max exhaled, admitting, “I watched some of his old stuff. Prema days. He was—different. Loud. Smiley. Like he couldn’t sit still.” His brows knit, restless. “Then I looked at this year. Interviews. He barely looks like the same person. It’s like he just… faded.”

Charles slowed, stopping under the apple tree. He bit into the fruit he’d stolen, juice dripping down his thumb, and studied Max like he already knew where this was coming from.

“Max,” he said softly, “we can’t psychoanalyze someone we’ve only just invited into our home.”

Max frowned but didn’t argue. His gaze lingered on the house, curtains shifting in the breeze of an open window. “I’m just saying—it’s like he stopped expecting anything good to happen. That’s what it looks like.”

Charles slipped his free hand into Max’s, the apple still warm in his other palm. “Then maybe our job isn’t to pick him apart,” he murmured. “Maybe it’s just to remind him what good feels like.”

The stream murmured somewhere beyond the path, unseen but constant. Max squeezed Charles’ hand once, hard, and for a moment neither of them spoke.

By the time they stepped back inside, the warmth of the house was almost tangible. Rain had stopped entirely, leaving the air clean and soft. Both of them were tired—the early morning walk and restless pacing along the garden path catching up to them.

Daniel tilts his head, smiling faintly. “You can ask me anything, mate. Doesn’t matter if it’s silly, or small. I’ll answer you straight.”

Max doesn’t look up, but the tip of the pen presses harder into the paper, like the words he wants to write are heavy.

Max’s hand trembles slightly as he writes, the scratch of pen on paper loud in the quiet apartment. He presses down hard, the letters uneven and cramped, like they fight him on the way out.

He slides the notepad toward Daniel without looking at him.

Were you scared of your dad?

Daniel blinks, caught off guard, and leans back slowly. His throat goes a little dry. “Blimey, kid… you don’t pull punches, do you?”

Max’s jaw tightens. He doesn’t look up, but the pen taps against the margin, sharp, anxious.

Daniel runs a hand through his hair, exhaling. “…Yeah. Sometimes.” He doesn’t soften it, doesn’t sugarcoat. “Not all the time. My dad was a good bloke, but… he had a temper. Yelled a lot. Thought being tough was the only way to raise a kid. Scared me, yeah. Didn’t mean he didn’t care, but… I remember that fear more than I’d like.”

He lets the words hang there, doesn’t try to fill the silence.

“Call it a gift,” Logan said, crouching to pluck up a potted plant from the row of glossy green leaves. He held it out. “Logan.”

The guy hesitated just long enough for Logan to notice — like he was deciding if he should give his name at all. “Alex,” he said finally, taking the plant. He held it gingerly, like it might explode.

Logan tilted his head, studying him. “City boy?”

Alex gave him a sideways look. “…Is it that obvious?”

“Painfully. You’ve got ‘I don’t own flip-flops’ energy.”

Alex huffed something between a laugh and a scoff. “I own flip-flops.”

“Lemme guess,” Logan said, “they’re the kind you bought for a vacation and wore twice.”

Alex’s silence was all the confirmation he needed. Logan grinned. “Tell you what — I’ll sell you this lily, and throw in a surf lesson. One day in the sun, my treat.”

Alex blinked again, like the sentence had been in another language. “I’ve never surfed in my life.”

“Even better,” Logan said without missing a beat. “You’ll learn fast. You look like you’ve got balance.”

“And if I say no?”

“Then you’ll never know if I was right,” Logan shrugged, “which, personally, would haunt me forever.”

Alex stared at him for a long second — then, almost reluctantly, smiled. “One lesson. And if I drown, I’m suing.”

man i really miss seeing logan on the grid

Hi! I just wanted to update since I’ve seen a lot of discussion about AI ‘writers’. I’d like to say, they aren’t true writers. Writing comes from a place of inspiration, care, and love. AI can’t do any of that. And some might say that if you give it inspiration, or prompts or anything, then it is true writing. It is not. Writing it watching your shitty drarry fanfics evolve into amazing references and quotes. It’s working since fourth grade, it’s learning the differences in ‘there’, ‘their’ ‘they’re’ and having to learn where to put commas. AI is lifeless, it’s flat, it’s not even good. People who use things like chatGPT, are not writers.

#ai writing

Hi! I loved your recent fic about Logan being a mentor! I was just a bit confused about the ending; I get having it happen over the phone because pretty much the whole story that’s how they interacted but I figured Logan would have been there in person to see him win and am confused why he wasn’t. Sorry if this comes off rude I’m just curious😅

I didn’t want him there because I personally went in to this thinking of the ending. Logan never wanted his ‘failed’ career to overshadow Alex’s. It’s just the boundaries Logan himself has set. And I was going to include a scene of Logan trying to get a last minute plan ticket there to surprise him but it just didn’t make it in.

Also it wasn’t rude at all! I’m totally open to questions like this for example if people who ask aren’t rude. (Of course you weren’t though!)

do you use ai to help with your fics ?

Lmao no I’m very against ai. If there’s mistakes in it it’s because I don’t read over it. But no I don’t use ai and I hope people don’t think that
