Be Still My Fantasy Loving Heart @starkmaiden - Tumblr Blog

❝That, Beatrice, is how I will love you even as the world goes on its wicked way.❞ — Lemony Snicket.

For @starkmaiden ♡

No, like, I know we all get it but that scene where they're heading to the cottage is actually so insane because they've had seven years of hotel rooms and bottling up their emotions and only ever spending time together long enough to hook up and, even then, only when they happened to be in the same place. Now suddenly Ilya is here and he took a plane with the express purpose of seeing Shane and they're in his car and it's a two hour drive so for the first time ever they are just talking without sex being the immediate goal or what just preceded it. That's two hours of just existing in each other's company. That's two hours more than they've ever had before and it's just the prelude to two weeks and Ilya takes his hand and admits that he's nervous because this is so new and they've both wanted it for so long and, you don't understand, I'm going to cry.

things I won’t let ai take away from human writers

em dash

“not x, not y, but z”

short sentence stacking as a stylistic choice

none of these belong to ai. these are all what human writers have been writing since day one, way before ai was invented. ai was trained to mimic how human writers write — so em dash, not x not y but z and short sentence stacking would never have been used by ai at all if ai hadn’t learned and mimicked them from human writers.

no, you are not “fighting against ai” by accusing every work that has em dash, not x not y but z or short sentence stacking in it as ai-generated, you are helping ai harm the writing community by engaging in witch hunt and scaring human writers away from creating/sharing their works for fear of being wrongly accused of using ai.

speculations, accusations and ai witch hunt harm the writing community as much as ai does, if not more.

"don't assign human morality to non human things" is so true except when it comes to printers. they know what they are, they understand dilemmas and ethics and morality. they choose to be how they are, they choose to be evil, at their very core they are rotten

"I like you" isn't just a stepping stone to "I love you" - it is a distinct narrative beat in its own right.

As the audience, we already know that Ilya loves Shane because we heard him say it in Russian. But we also know that love is not enough - Shane loves Rose but they weren't compatible. Sometimes love isn't enough, for a variety of reasons.

This is why Shane and Ilya are terrified of coming to the cottage. Because we still don't know if they're compatible beyond the incredibly hot sex and psychic level hockey passes. The tuna melt date was nice before Shane crashed out, but that was just one afternoon.

"I like you" is the missing piece in their relationship. I know that I love you and I desire you and we play good hockey together, but do I like you?

The cottage scenes answer: yes. I like playing with you and I like cooking with you and I like talking to you and I like sharing space with you and I like sleeping next to you and I like waking up with you. I like you.

I like you and I love you and I still have no idea how we can possibly make this work but I really want to figure it out.
