Never for me to plunge my hands in cool water on a hot day. Never for me to play Mozart on the ivory keys of a forte piano. Never for me to make love.

I was in hell, looking at heaven. I was machine and you- Were flesh.

Many lgbt teenagers and young adults growing up on the internet today have socially conservative beliefs that they voice at all times that they got from their conservative parents which they’ve never challenged because they think the life experience of being gay or trans makes them politically progressive

[stantler]

This is why I hate it when people say something homophobic and then go “so you’re really accusing me, a whole ass lesbian, of being homophobic 🙄” like yeah

[crownofstardustandbone]

Just because you’re part of an oppressed party does not mean you cannot hold bias against other groups or members of your own group. Bias is learned and ingrained through society and family and it takes real work to unlearn it. No one is perfect, no one is without bias and you are in fact going to fuck up now and again—what matters is if you learn from it and grow.

this is what people are talking about when they say "do the work"

Behold! My New Favourite Fanfic!

So if ya'll are into Constellations, I have found the perfect fic for you!

(Slight disclaimer being that it's a Hollow Knight fic but you don't need to know the game lore because the fic is based around that exact premise)

You like Benevolent Eldritch Gods?

You like weird belief/worship≠existence/power mechanics?

You like Outsider POVs that are hilariously wrong because of biased viewpoints and deliberately manufactured interpretations?

You like Eldritch Gods who are actually panicky overprotective dumbasses full of unresolved trauma?

You like a main character who is simultaneously imposter syndrome, 'protect ALL the babies', Oblivious Dumbass, selfless philanthropist, and “I’VE GOT THE POWER OF DENTISTRY AND SEXUAL FRUSTRATION ON MY SIDE. I WILL GNAW YOUR FUCKING LEGS OFF YOU FUZZY CUNT!" (Yes, this is an actual quote from the fic)?

You like slow burn romance that only ends in fully requited pining because they're both Oblivious Dumbasses burdened by negative self-image/identity, past identity trauma and differences in culture and societal standing/expectations? (Oh don't worry, there's a sequel)

You like navigations of different cultures and diplomatic and political drama?

You like an OC main character that is well written and characterized(I swear, she is one of the best written ones I have ever read, the perfect blend of defined person and relatability)?

YOU LIKE HAPPY ENDINGS?

Behold!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Hoops, String and Other Placebos

also known as the Belief and Strings series.

The romance isn't the focus or a subplot, it just starts growing naturally partway through. There's miscommunication but it never drags or becomes stale or painful. Healthy friendships everywhere, and those that aren't are recognised as such and managed. Angst is perfectly seasoned in. Worldbuilding galore! People who don't know what the fuck is going on but give their support anyway because they unconditionally love their Designated Oblivious Panicky Dumbass.

Also, fistfighting god through the sheer unbridled power of 'Hold My Beer'.

[the-cephalon-weave]

Loved this story so much, and the dayglow saint au is just. I love everything that has come from this series. One work will make me sob over hollow, another will make me care about a character who's whole schtick in the base game was dying off screen, and another makes me wanna fist fight hollow in a Denny's at 3am

[leolithe]

oh.... that's lore.......... lore of my comfort character ..............

Oculous Imperia got fucking copyright claimed by an ai slop warhammer lore channel that uses David Attenborough's stolen voice

What in the everloving F U C K

Yeah, so, AI slop channels are (as we've all seen) on the rise. Producing content by automating as much of the video creation process as possible in order to get money as cynically and flaccidly as possible.

It is, of course, not enough for these channels to coast along on doing basically little more than creating glorified slideshows; they've now taken to attacking other (actual) content creators to bully them and leech revenue.

How do they do this? They abuse YouTube's famously lazy, hands-off copyright claiming system by saying that a piece of media in the video (typically artwork or a footage clip) is theirs. YouTube automatically assumes this is true and copyright strikes the video. The result of this strike varies. If the video is monetised, because the person makes a living from their content, money now goes to the AI channel. Perhaps the video is blocked in certain countries. Perhaps multiple copyright strikes are levied against a creator in succession, to get their channel banned. Perhaps it's simply to inconvenience and stress them while they get the strike overturned.

The whole thing is foul. It's a swarm of talentless hacks who, not satisfied with the revenue they get from doing fuck all, are trying to parasitise from and harm hardworking people, often people who they've stolen information from in the first place for their shitty AI models.

So, then, who are these channels involved in this particular event?

Imperial Iterator is the AI slop channel; a spineless, cynical little cretin who runs their sham of a lore channel through a channel management agency in Los Angeles. They pump out AI-generated scripts in an AI-generated voice whilst taking money from more deserving people. Just constant dogshit content being passed off as media. This person/people are actual trash. Block them, blacklist them, reject them.

Oculus Imperia is... Oculus Imperia. A longstanding, respected and high quality 40k lore channel run by an extremely lovely and hardworking guy. His videos are easy to listen to, thoughtful, and well-researched. Great for both active listening and throwing on when you're doing something. I highly recommend subscribing to him if you haven't already. Like his videos, if you like them. He and his channel are a delight all round.

Support actual content creators. Put these AI cunts in the garbage where they belong.

[alfabusa]

I recommend going to the AI slop channel and reporting it as spam.

Because, y’know, that’s what it is!!!

If enough people do, perhaps, PERHAPS, it will be blasted into death and defeat.

We like plurality depictions (and plural-adjacent characters) in Warframe not because they're very realistic or accurate, but for how varied are the dynamics in each case, showing how varied can be the needs for different systems to achieve cooperation/functionality and how varied can be the presentation. We got Flare & Lizzie, who benefit most from co-fronting (and a romantic bond, which is a pretty rare thing in mainstream plurality depictions), but we also got Operator & Drifter who literally are unable to co-front most of the time or Lotus, Natah & Margulis that had to pick a host to function. We have whimsical and cute Otak & Necraloid, but we also got The Zuud with Chatter being a depiction of more blurred lines between selves (like, how many sisters are there?). And there's Ordis and Ordan... Well, we still wait for this story to develop further.

We also got less literal depictions. Like Duviri, I mean, "distressed and traumatized kid manifested a living and thinking people to deal with their emotions" is kinda relatable to our DID ass, ngl.

We theoretically could go further with the mindspace that the Necralisk part of Entrati family has, especially with how there are parallels drawn between them and Xaku, which also are kind of designed to feel plural-adjacent.

None of these are flawless (like Flare and Lizzie being described as "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" once by Reb was a bit icky), most of these on its own are just okay, but grouping together all this into one universe is what makes it way better.

Because for each system plurality will feel different. Each system will work a bit differently. What dynamic is good for you, may be completely inaccessible for another.

And also it was a good idea to let each depiction have a different tone. We got deep and emotional stories (literally one of Zuud's voicelines during the Exploiter fight almost made us cry the first time), but we also got Otak being Otak (best mission control in the entire game) or Lizzie's pizza topping choices (which actually weren't that bad, just the matter of cocoa% in the chocolate).

Like, whatever someone tries to represent in media, it gets instantly a bit better if there's a bit of variety inside said media in how this thing is presented.

[the-cephalon-weave]

Honestly we can hella relate to Flare and Lizzie. We've actually got a Hunhow fictive and I love and appreciate the man but he is obsessed with garlic salt

[leolithe]

Pre apostasy Lotus: no, tenno. I do not have " identity issues " . I am the lotus. Yes I look like margulis with a helmet but that doesn't mean anything. Yes I'm sure. I'm not natah either . please just get to extraction

Post new war Lotus: hey tenno. i think you have three moms now.

[wiregore]

its 3 pm post natah being comfy

[flaymemaybe]

She’s just like me fr (except my Hunhow doesn’t apologize)

[leolithe]

Will you still love your mamas even when they freaking ❓

[runningwolf62]

I think we need to discuss what The Hex looks like from The Scaldra side given they have no clue of anything regarding Warframes.

January 12th 1999, Viktor Vodyanoi is baffled that 50+ new members joined The Hex litterally overnight.

He has no idea which of them, if any, are the Drifter Nightingale keeps talking to on the coms.

I call character assassination on Striker

So I'm going to do like I usually do and just work with my favorite bits of Striker when I'm able to reignite my motivation to write his origin story

[the-cephalon-weave]

Honestly I think striker would be willing to work with royals *if* it can fuck over other royals. Both because it's an acceptable target and because it gives him legal plausible deniability

[anonymous-harpy]

Im talking a little more about him being played as stupid. I kinda wished he lingered a bit or we saw some thinly veiled anger at The Frostcock and Even Satan himself especially after that whole "I created Imps to serve"

EVEN JUST A SHORT LITTLE CLIP WOULDA BEEN FINE

But yes I do see him picking and choosing when to "play nice" with Royals especially since Stella and her brother can ALWAYS throw him under the bus, but I just wanted something from him since he showed up but nope. I got false hope. Actually that whole moment woulda been perfect for bigger drama- Striket coulda gone out in a blaze of glory possibly killing Satan himself-

But the shows shifted into this interesting but strange romance between Stolas and Blitzo. I'm not complaining. I'm just a fanfiction writer.THE POSSIBILITIES

[the-cephalon-weave]

Hmm. Honestly I don't think it was him being stupid. More just wanting the killin to get going instead of a court he *knows* is a sham. Doing the bare minimum for what he sees as a waste of time. And as you said. He's not stupid. He wouldn't risk this opportunity. No, I can see him "working his way up" one royal at a time. After all. Petty squabbles will always happen. And with squabble comes opportunity. He's a coiled viper biding his time
