Thoughts on AI?

When you enter less text than this comment, and have a machine spit out an image, sound, text or code, you can’t call it your own, you are nothing more than a slop operator, a sloperator.

Inactivity/Update for Story

Sorry for not being active lately! One of the associates at work has to have emergency surgery and they're not coming back for a good while. She is also one of the main managers of our department so I have to work extra lately to make up for her absence until she returns. I've been also trying to play catch up in other areas but I am about managed my time!

As for the story I promised some users here for art, I may have to put a hold on that or find another direction! The user I was going to get the art from is going to be real busy with school/college and said he probably won't be able to get to this anytime soon. I am hoping to find someone else to do this or maybe work on some scenes with another character instead? I may take a whole new direction itself but we'll see! I am open for some asks though or roleplays if you're bored. I can even get art made since I am in a good mood!

Fourth Wing is almost unreasonably compelling as a story (SPOILERS)

While the plot twist is something you can absolutely predict, there is a kind of joy in knowing that it will happen because you’re so caught up in the lead up and the ultimate fall out.

I’ve always thought that tropes and cliches, while treated like a bad thing, when done properly, make for excellent storytelling.

Was it immediately obvious that Xaden, not Dain, was the main love interest and she would eventually fizzle out of her childhood crush on him? Duh.

Did I get extremely suspicious each time Dain touched her face after I realised their friendship was going the wayside?? Uh absolutely. I clocked that bitch a mile away.

With all his hesitation and emphasis on secret keeping, was I surprised that Xaden turned out to be working with the gryphon fliers?? Nah.

Was it unexpected that venin and wyvern were real?? No the amount of emphasis on that damn book being just a silly little book of folktales made me realise quite quickly.

Brennan at the end was a bit of a surprise, but after never ever seeing or hearing about his dragon, despite knowing about Mira’s and knowing Tairn was the bonded dragon of Brennan’s “friend”, it made sense.

The moment I heard about big scary black dragon not having a rider, I was like yeah that’s gonna be Violet’s. then golden feather tail came along and I was like but wait why the emphasis on new dragon if big dragon??? Then she got two so that was a fun switch up.

But did any of these change my enjoyment of the story??? No. My expectations were met in the best way and I was compelled to see them through the whole way. The satisfaction of knowing what will happen and having accurately anticipated it is where half the fun is. I don’t need nonsensical plot twists for no other purpose than shock value. It’s a well written story and a tight narrative.

What I for sure wasn’t expecting was not one but TWO and I guess technically a half sex scenes. I was fully expecting a cut to the next morning or the next hour or something. But nope. Just like any raunchy fanfic I was reading words like clit and cock and immediately had to remove myself from the living room to my bed room because my mother was next to me and I can’t be reading these things in her presence. Even if I am 25 years old.

So yeah. As expected. I will be waiting for Iron Flame. My first booktok rec turned out pretty well.

“Whirlwind Flux”

---

The character shown above belongs to @whirlwindflux​. If one has not visited their blog as of yet, I would highly recommend giving them a visit!

Extra thoughts and an additional item below the break!

For those who have followed Whirlwind’s blog, they will also know there are many other characters which comprise the blog, with one of them in particular being Single Slice. Who, while also being a pony who delivers pizzas, is also a Ninja by night.

So, after some research into a few variations of turtles who have a similar area of interest as Single Slice, I figured I would incorporate some sort of foods, and a Katana which I hope will be of interest to Single Slice! Admittedly there were suppose to be twin katanas, alas, time could not allow for it.

Time determined that while though I have my reservations about the visual noise in the main piece above the break, I figured it would be best to post rather than continually make adjustments to no end, haha.

Cheers!
