Best video game villain?

Feed your dashboard by answering my question, blogger.

Joker in the Arkham games. I LOVE the Arkham games so much 🙌

Or maybe if you count Dutch Van Der Linde as a villain, it’s him.

But I think Joker still might take the crown as best villain even if Dutch is a better written character.

Here’s a reminder to everyone that when y’all bookmark a fic on ao3, the author can, in fact, see what you write.

(no hate to this person, just reminding everyone that you SHOULD read wips because that’s how they get finished!)

Do you think AO3 should ban AI generated works?

Yes

No

I don't use AO3 / I don't know what AO3 is

Well, no. But not because I endorse AI at all, but because this kind of undermines what exactly Ao3 is. It’s an archive. It’s not a library, or a social media site, it’s not even strictly about fanfiction - it’s literally just an archive. In the same way you would never ban things from the internet archive, you shouldn’t ban things on Ao3.

Ao3 is literally just a place for writing to be kept online. It’s like a little community box. You don’t control what goes in the box, okay? The box is there to keep things, not to regulate them. In an ideal world, no AI would be on Ao3, not because they banned it but because nobody is dumb enough to use it. That’s literally it.

Also, the Ao3 staff have way more things to work on than detecting AI. A reminder that they are ran on donations and are full of volunteers. They do Gods work, they shouldn’t have to wade through AI bullshit.

Main point; Archives hold everything, even the sludge AI produces.

Me : I write for own enjoyment, I don’t care if people read it or not — it’s personal to me and therefore good enough already.

Ao3: Someone commented on your fic saying they had found their new favourite fanfiction—

Me : LIFE IS WORTH LIVING - IM IN LOVE WITH EVERYTHING OMG SOMEONE ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT MY SILLY LITTLE STORIES THIS IS AMAZING - BEST THING THATS EVER HAPPENED TO ME HOLY FUCK

[prophetic-writer]

When you've been a writer for long enough, commas become more of a spiritual practice than a grammatical one.

Could I explain the actual rules of how they’re used? Absolutely not.

Do I rely on sensing a tremor in the force to tell me where to use them? Yes and this has never failed me even once.

Presenting to you my writing cycle

[sarcasticsciencefictionwriter]

"I sort fics by kudos and only kudos on stories with high kudos counts, why aren't there more stories with high kudos, I ran out of things to read." You're part of the problem.

"Authors artificially inflate comment counts by thanking people, I can't find anything with a real comment count to read." No they fucking are not, they're grateful for engagement.

"I can't read anything under 100k." That's the majority of fics you're ignoring, most novels aren't even that long.

"I don't have time to look for the incredibly rare diamond in the rough, so I won't read anything below a certain amount of kudos, comments, and hits." Those fics are popular because people gave them a chance and then snobs like you found them.

"I won't read anthing with a single typos." You made typos in that sentence, get off your high horse.

"One singular author didn't thank me for commenting, I'm never commenting on any fic again so I don't get burned." You're punishing people because someone didn't give you engagement they don't owe you that they might not have seen.

"This fic is three months old, it's so old, it doesn't matter if I comment or kudos, it's old." Fics do not have expiration dates, comment and kudos.

You're killing your fandoms with your snobbish behaviors.

[ao3statss]

There are currently 414,472 fics without a single kudos.

2,948,374 under 10 kudos

If anyone was wondering.

Do you think the Gotham Rogues plan their Arkham escapes to be at different times the way fast food chains plan their advertisements?

[waywarrdsunshine]

not enough love in this fandom for Genya Safin killing her rapist by putting poison on her body so all he needed to do to avoid death was not come to her room in the first place.

Not my friend telling me she's "disappointed in me" for saying English people suck

[oifaaa]

Hot take i know but I dont think it counts as racism when it comes to a group of people that ruled over you for over 800 years (still ongoing) and who still weirdly hold anti Irish sentiments

[idk-tbh-im-just-here]

Real, like it doesn't mean I'll hate someone instinctively for being English however they did try (and succeed in many places) to beat the culture out of the people of my country so I think I can say they suck. Especially when they're doing something stupid.

[oifaaa]

I do think I was a wee bit of a dick for laughing when she told me her English mother got verbal abuse when she brought a house in Dublin 20 years ago which no no one deserve verbal abuse but also your English mother brought a house in Dublin

[oifaaa]

Fuck it let's start some discourse on this Monday im board

Does it count as being racist if its against white English people

Yes

No
