Hi,

It’s your friendly neighbor fanfic author here. In the light of this apparent new trend of people feeding unfinished fics to AI to get an “ending,” and some people even talking about “blanket permissions,” let me just say this:

I EXPLICITLY FORBID ANYONE TO FEED MY FICS TO AI. DUDE, THAT IS ABOUT THE LEAST RESPECTFUL THING YOU CAN DO. IF YOU DO IT, SHALL YOU BE EXCOMMUNICATED FROM YOUR FANDOM AND WALK ON LEGOS BAREFOOT TILL THE END OF DAYS.

That is my anti-permission.

Thank you for your attention.

#AI theft #fanfic #I only have 4 fics #one of which is an ongoing multi-chapter #it's hard work #I don't think any author would appreciate getting their fics fed to AI #I may not be a BNF #and there's a small chance my fics will get scraped #or fed to AI #but that's not the point #it's about respect #which some people don't seem to have because they're just greedy and selfish #I hope you guys feel the sensation of stepping on legos even when you're off your feet

A creative design from Shaoxing Huajie Wenfang. This kettle and wind stove incense burner set features a honeycomb briquette actually made of compressed incense powder. Lighting it turns it into a fun and playful aromatic experience. (cr 花街文房文创工作室）

Do you have an internal monologue

I am monolingual and have an internal monologue

I am monolingual and do not have an internal monologue

I am multilingual and have an internal monologue

I am multilingual and do not have an internal monologue

Infinite nuance (please tell me in the notes)

Voting ended onJun 6

An internal monologue being defined here as "the voice in your head that your thoughts are thought in." And for the multilingual internal monologue havers - which language do the thoughts appear in?

Please reblog for reach, etc.

#interesting #wait a sec #are you saying not all people have a voice in their head that their thoughts are thought in?#I know 2 languages so my internal monologue is either language or a mix of both

There are so many unrecognized skills rolled into writing:

knowing what kind of feedback helps you most is a skill

assessing the quality of the feedback is a skill

wrangling the emotional complexities of sharing your writing is a skill

not letting the nice comment happy chemicals unbalance you is a skill

and none of those things are even writing

(text above was originally tags from @the-very-darcy - ty for letting me turn them into a new post!)

Be kind to yourself when you're navigating these issues and remember that each of these is a skill separate from writing that maybe you haven't developed yet.

Give yourself the grace and time you need to improve on these areas too.

And forgive yourself if you find these things difficult. You're not born knowing how to do them. You get better at them with practice and with time. 💗

I wonder if being bullied as a kid has any inoculating factors? like "I can do this now, because I could do this at 4 feet tall" type stuff. or does it just permanently make you into a quivery little prey animal? much to consider.

oh yowch.

Not to generalize

but this is a lot of Gen X.

We grew up letting ourselves into our own houses, running around unsupervised and making our own fun (because if we didn't our parent would find something for us to do and that was a threat)

which was GREAT!

Except it meant we had to learn how to be self sufficient early and without any safety nets. When we had a problem, we were expected to 'figure it out'. No one was going to show us - a lot of times no adult was there anyway. So we got really good at figuring out how to make things work even if it wasn't the right way to do it.

Great again, right?

Well yeah. But we never learned how to ask for help when we couldn't figure it out. We honestly never even expected there to be help to ask for. If our parents taught us something it was usually random 'here's how you jump a car battery' and it was never something you asked to learn. Just now and then an adult would show up and teach you something - and then it was back to no adults and 'figure it out on your own' again. And if you couldn't figure it out, you just learned how to do without it. Help, the rare times it came was unexpected - and so unreliable. No one is going to save you, you have to save yourself. At seven. At twenty. At fifty. Why ask for help? It's not there to start with.

Just - figure it out yourself.

Maybe it's naive of me, but whenever I see portraits like this, with just a father and daughter, it restores my faith in humanity a little. Because people seem to love this idea that fathers never loved their daughters in the past and only saw them as bargaining chips for marriage or whatever, but look at the guy in the first portrait on the left, he loves that little girl! And the dad trying to do his work while his daughter bothers him with an Old Timey Barbie. The man teaching his daughter geography, his expression is so soft! The way the man in the last portrait holds the little girl's hand! And none of these are incidental, these aren't photographs, someone (probably the father) paid good money and sat down for hours so that they could have a painting of themselves and their daughter. Probably because they loved their daughter.

From left to right: 1795 Michał Jerzy Mniszech with his daughter Elżbieta - Marcello Bacciarelli; Christopher Anstey and his daughter Mary Ann by William Hoare 1776; A Musician and His Daughter by Thomas de Keyser 1629; The Geography Lesson (Portrait of Monsieur G. and His Daughter), 1812; Jean-baptiste Isabey And His Daughter; Portrait of a Young Girl and Older Man by William Harrison Scarborough

(this is probably somewhat related to my other favourite genre of painting, Husband With Multiple Kids Making Come Hither Eyes At His Wife)

oh I love those! People being people is one of my favourite kinds of paintings and an important reminder that people in past times were not all that different. There were dads who loved their daughters fiercely. There were fathers who happily looked after their babies too. The German reformer Philip Melanchton for example had a cradle in his office. His wife was busy organising a household for 20 people- she was out and about, he mostly worked in his office, it made sense for him to look after their babies too babies while she dropped by at snack time.

in fact often if it was kind of safe dads had the babies in their workshops for just that reason as we can see in these paintings:

The left is “the busy father” by Theodore Weber, the right one is “At the china repairer’s “ by Wenzel Tornoe. All dads who are actively involved in childcare and a painter who thought it was a cute topic rather than anything ridiculous.
