one genre of fanfiction that seems to have mostly disappeared since i became an adult is shenanigans-type fics. like not exactly crack but just "the gang goes to 7-11" type, extremely low-stakes plot stories. the beach episodes of fanfiction. i just feel like i don't see those around so much anymore. whered they go. i miss them :(

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Remaining time: 6 days 7 hours

[odyver]

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Remaining time: 6 days 8 hours

[odyver]

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

46-60, less inclined

over 60, more inclined

over 60, less inclined

Remaining time: 6 days 8 hours

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

Jackal and Dahlia fascinate me as per usual... other day was talking with Charles because I had suddenly gotten really sad Them Thoughts.

The topic was sort of their relationship and what they truly mean to each other. Sure, they both grew up in Westwood and were best friends. I think their friendship probably began and grew from the basis of both being mages and having magic, seeing as they were the only two who actually Got Each Other on a deeper level, being the only mages in the area.

Jackal eventually disappears one night and Dahlia is distraught and frantic, wondering where the hell he could have gone overnight when she had just seen him yesterday. She asks his family, they provide no answers and shoo her away because they are basically the only family in Westwood who hates the Diminished (but they're pleasant so long as you avoid that topic), and they also played a direct hand in his disappearance too. She asks her parents if they know anything, they don't.

Part of me thinks maybe this is when her and Zori either begin to know each other or get much closer. Eventually Dahlia 'moves on', where its more a lingering thought in the back of her head than immediately on her mind.

However in Jackal's case, I think Dahlia is sort of a lifeline for him. He's with strangers who he was willingly given to by his parents. They want to use him. He is just a vessel, a body that can use magic for them. He eventually escapes the group years later, evidently changed both physically and mentally but his first stop is Westwood. Not to see his parents, but to see Dahlia.

As he asks for directions, slowly traveling over to Westwood he keeps hearing rumors or stories of how that area has been abandoned and avoided for years now. He doesn't let it show on his face, but internally he's like, 'What. What the fuck do you mean.' He goes to Westwood only to find it completely obliterated and missing, wondering if Dahlia is dead.

The thought of Dahlia having somewhat 'moved on' while she was always on Jackal's mind and his guiding light in scary, hard times. Kind of hurts. Dahlia doesn't think much about Jackal these days, mostly because her life has been wrought with other things (losing Westwood, losing the lover who helped her pick up the pieces of her life post-13th). Still hurts thinking about the dichotomy of how important they are to each other (or how important they appear to each other).

this is yearly trend for me to ask this here, so which one's the best summer fruit?

watermelon

mango

Voting ended onJun 2

[wingkink]

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

[elexecution]

there are too many things happening this summer that i'm thinking we are going to need an extra 6-12 months of june and possibly another 3-4 months of july. probably no extra august as the problem should hopefully sort itself out by then. we are also looking into extending the day night cycle to 55 hours and extending the human lifespan to 10000 years.

[shambl]

might put blorbo thoughts on here more often.. I have some DMs with elle and also with Charles... so I might start posting them here... I could talk about Harper... I've been rambling to elle about him lmfaoo

constantly trying to see the inherent good in people is a humiliation ritual that i continue to willingly participate in

[czesca]

characters who are so inauthentic. characters who only show what they want other people to see of them. characters who simply must have control over every part of themselves. do you even get it

[gallantblade]

characters who are inauthentic even to themselves. characters who cannot allow the mask to slip. characters who struggle to have an identity past what they project out to the world.
