in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

I was literally just manifesting this to myself lol.

I'm always taking myself so seriously, especially when it came to my writing. I had let go of my publishing dream, stopped writing books and found a format that actually suited me. So where was all this pressure I was putting on myself?

Verdict: I was trying to write like Shakespeare. I was trying to make my weird, wonderful ideas sound poignant and profound and appeal to everyone. Yes quite a terrifying thought.

So yeah. I've always said write the hell you want. A lot of us are getting a bit too sad especially with the rise of AI and the constant stream of bad news that feels like were experiencing everything everywhere all at once so I feel like everyone should take pen to paper or fingers to keypad or, heck, stick to sand and write whatever the hell they want.

there’s just something so awesome about a character you love getting really badly hurt

[clytemnestraaa]

hi this drives me crazy

canon is what happens in the text. e.g. merlin tries to poison morgana

a headcanon is a fact that you have personally made up as an elaboration of canon. it is your invention. e.g. i think morgana and gwen had a teenage lesbian situationship before the events of canon. or, i think modern morgana would love evanesence.

an interpretation is how one reads the existing text. it is not an invented fact nor is it a headcanon, it is a reading. e.g. i think merlin tries to poison morgana out of misplaced self-hatred. or, i think that one line was delivered with suppressed malice and shows a nuanced relationship.

fanon is the general fandom’s accepted headcanons and interpretations that elaborate or recontextualize canon. e.g. merlin is a badass waif and morgana is a bitch.

these are all different words with different meanings.

There’s an episode of Sesame Street (on Netflix! you can watch it easily!) where Elmo attends a toy-swap, where you offer up old toys you don’t play with anymore and receive someone else’s toys that are new to you. Cute!

But Elmo, after cheerfully surrendering his old toys, sees that the children who swapped toys with him are playing with his toys “wrong”! They’re imagining entirely different make believe scenarios! They’re pretending the football is a dinosaur egg instead of a rocket ship! Aaahhhhh!!!! And this is so distressing to poor Elmo that he does the unthinkable: He does swapsies-backsies and takes all his toys back!

This being Sesame Street, he learns that you can’t control how other people play pretend, but you can join in if you want to! And if you don’t want to, that’s ok, you can just play pretend your own way by yourself or with someone else who wants to play that way too. You can still be friends with people who play pretend differently than you (and aren’t being mean/harmful/etc, do not bad-faith-read this 🤨).

Anyway this is a post about fandom.

Apparently some people still need to hear this so: using an 'ai checker' is still using ai. If you are feeding someone's fic to one of these checkers, you will still not be sure their fic is ai because they are not 100% accurate, but you can be 100% sure that you are using ai. For fic. Furthermore you are doing the work of an ai scraper for them. You are, personally, feeding the machine. There is no actual excuse for using an ai checker on fanfic as a hobby. YOU are the problem.

If you think a fic is ai, mute it and move on. That's it. That's all you do.

[ahsoka-in-a-hood]

Um. Yikes

Seeing people I know and like using AI is making me understand the protagonists of those old time sci fi dystopia's.

"Oh I don't normally use AI, I just wanted it to plan my trip"

You lived on this planet for decades, you know what you like, there are hundreds of websites where you can type into any search engine " things to do in [area]" and have at least a hundred different options.

"Oh I only use it so I can figure out what to make during the week with what I have"

The most popular website as you type in "recipes" into google have sections where you click dinner- quick and easy and those usually rely on staples + 1 or 2 items. I found 30 recipes on chicken alone.

"I had a writing idea, so I typed a few sentences into Chat GPT and I was able to write 20 pages with it."

Writing Notes: Unrequited Love

Unrequited Love - occurs when a person falls in love with someone who does not return the admirer's feelings (in psychology).

The object of affection rejects the would-be lover's pursuit or

may be unaware of the admirer's romantic interest.

Unrequited love is associated with:

idealized notions of romance, but

it inevitably ends in heartbreak.

Would-be lovers struggle with unfulfilled yearning, while

beloved individuals must discourage unwanted advances.

The unreciprocated attraction can hurt an individual's self-esteem.

Unrequited lovers can cope by:

accepting the reality of the situation,

acknowledging rejection, and

limiting communication with the object of their affinity.

Unrequited love is an enduring theme in literature. Popular examples include: Cyrano de Bergerac, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Gone with the Wind.

There are 2 sides to unrequited love.

The unrequited lover harbors romantic feelings for a potential partner. Admirers long for the object of their affection and indulge in romantic fantasies. They hope one day that the pair will start a relationship.

However, the beloved does not feel the same way, turning down the admirer. Some recipients never know the unrequited lover's true feelings.

The concept of unrequited love goes back to ancient times:

In the Egyptian civilization's writing system, called hieroglyphics, the symbol for love translated to "a long desire."

One of the most famous examples of unrequited love in history involves medieval Italian poet Dante and his muse, Beatrice Portinari.

Dante fell in love with Portinari at first sight when she was only 9 years old, but the poet was promised to marry someone else.

After Portinari's death in 1290, Dante chronicled his secret love for her in La Vita Nuova in 1295.

She also appears as his guide through Heaven in The Divine Comedy, completed in the early 1320s.

Unrequited love can manifest itself in different ways.

It can start as a crush,

which develops into a long-standing infatuation.

Admirers may desire someone from a distance, never telling the individual about their romantic feelings.

Conversely, unrequited lovers may relentlessly pursue the object of their affection, making their intentions known.

There are 2 main paths to unrequited love.

The attraction can be based on an existing connection or

the pursuit of someone more desirable.

Most often, unrequited love grows out of platonic friendships.

One friend may feel an underlying attraction toward the other.

It can develop in the workplace when a coworker has feelings for another employee.

It can spring up when a former flame wants to rekindle a romance.

Unrequited love can also occur during a mutually satisfying relationship when a person decides to leave, but the other individual is still in love.

Admirers may encounter unrequited love when they find someone more attractive than they are.

The person may possess physical qualities or personality traits that appeal to the would-be lover.

Pursuers may be drawn to the individual's beauty, sense of humor, or intelligence.

Unrequited love is quite common.

According to a 1993 study by psychologist Roy Baumeister, 98% of the participants said they had experienced unrequited love.

Men are more likely to fall for someone who does not return their affection, the study found.

Unrequited love is full of emotional highs and lows.

The experience can be painful for both admirers and the objects of their devotion.

Unrequited lovers sustain their passion for their beloved through hope.

They are optimistic the objects of their affinity will one day love them back.

Eventually, however, the admirers become disillusioned, realizing their efforts are fruitless.

The failure to pursue the one they love can leave unrequited lovers feeling hurt, humiliated, and depressed.

The stinging defeat of rejection can erode their self-confidence.

Most stories about unrequited love focus on the agony of the admirer, but the recipient also suffers:

At first, the objects of unwanted affection are initially flattered by the would-be lovers' attention.

However, as time goes on, the beloved must deflect unsought advances.

The recipient may become frustrated by the unrequited lover's persistent pursuit.

Recipients of unrequited love also feel guilty for wanting to reject their suitors, but they are afraid of hurting their feelings.

Instead of spurning them outright, the beloved individuals may avoid telling their pursuers the truth—that they do not share their romantic interest—and hope the infatuation fades.

To lessen the blow during rejection, the beloved individuals may also sugarcoat their words, saying they are not interested in a relationship at the current time.

However, this strategy can backfire:

The appeasing language may give the would-be lovers just enough hope to hang on to the possibility of a future romance.

In extreme cases, admirers' unrequited love can turn into obsession and stalking.

Unrequited love results in unhappiness and heartbreak. Admirers can cope with doomed relationships in 3 ways:

First, unrequited lovers must accept the reality of the situation. Pursuers must admit the objects of their devotion do not love them back. It does not mean the unwanted suitor is undeserving or unattractive.

Second, admirers must acknowledge rejection and the feelings that accompany it, including sadness and loneliness. They may realize they were not the right partner for their beloved, and vice versa.

Finally, unrequited lovers should minimize contact with the recipients of their affection. They are mourning the loss of a relationship they never had, but keeping in touch could keep the hope of having one alive. A clean break allows the admirer to move on from the infatuation.

Unrequited love is a common theme in literary works.

French dramatist Edmond Rostand's 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac follows the noble soldier Cyrano, a gifted poet in love with his beautiful cousin Roxane.

Cyrano, ashamed of his large nose, helps the handsome cadet Christian woo Roxane by writing romantic poetry to her under Christian's name.

In The Hunchback of Notre Dame, written by French author Victor Hugo in 1831, deformed hunchback Quasimodo falls in love with the stunning gypsy Esmeralda after she shows him kindness.

After Esmeralda is hanged, Quasimodo kills the priest responsible for her death.

American writer Margaret Mitchell's epic 1936 novel Gone with the Wind follows selfish Southern belle Scarlett O'Hara, who is in love with the mild-mannered Ashley Wilkes.

Ashley loves his cousin Melanie, but he does not fully reject Scarlett's feelings, which she hangs on to despite her many marriages.

The romance was adapted into a cinematic masterpiece in 1939.

Unrequited love is a phenomenon that almost everyone experiences. As people search for true love, they will likely encounter unrequited love and the heartbreak it brings on the way to finding a lasting relationship.

Look, it’s a weird hill to die on, especially when I don’t really explain, but children deserve to experience fear, disgust, and discomfort in safe scenarios where they can process those sensations.

Media for children used to be scary and that’s important.
