“…to me” is one of the most powerful disclaimers we have on here… is this character analysis accurate? debatable. but it’s real… to me.

I actually recommend everyone write for a rarepair once because it completely changes your relationship with fandom. Engagement stops being numbers and starts being names. You know who's going to show up. You recognize usernames. Someone disappears for a while and then comes back and you're like “OH MY GOD WELCOME HOME.” It's incredibly wholesome. It is also deeply inconvenient when all six of you simultaneously get writer's block-

WRONG. The series should be done. Fanfiction forever.

AI music has on top of anything else made it enragingly difficult to find new / indie musicians again, after a brief golden period where anyone could share with the globe and get a little bit of attention

Does this youtube video have >1000 views because it’s made by a single ordinary person without a devoted distribution and marketing team, or because it was made by a robot in 3 seconds to farm views for money? And it always sounds inoffensively more sleek and polished than the stuff people really are making in their mom’s basement so it drowns them out and the few views they were getting are now dwindling further and I hate that it forces artists to Post More online to prove they are real humans (because now I’ll do a quick search on new music before I rec it to make sure it’s Real People)

When I say AI is killing art I mean it

[xekstrin]

Statements that are both 100% true but still make me yell at my phone I ALREADY DO THAT!!!! I ALREADY DO THAT!!! I LIKE MUSIC!!!! I LIKE GOING TO BARS AND LISTENING TO SOME RANDOM OUT OF TOWN BAND PLAY TO AN AUDIENCE OF TWELVE PEOPLE!!!! BUT YOUTUBE SUCKS NOW!!!!! AND IM MAD ABOUT IT!!!!! EVEN THE ADVERTISEMENTS ARE AI!!!! ITS A PARASITIC TECHNOLOGY MADE TO SUCK THE BLOOD OUT OF HUMANITY!!! ITS EXCLUSIVELY USED TO DECEIVE!!!! ITS THE WORK OF SATAN!!!!! AND IM THROWING A CHAIR THROUGH MY WINDOW!!!!! OF COURSE I CAN ONLY ENACT CHANGE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL!

But yes, everyone, please search for local shows. It can be nerve wracking to go alone but its very fun. And it keeps the despair at bay a little bit.

I can’t take Lenore Dove seriously as a character due to her insane plot armor.

The book opens by telling us she’s repeatedly chased out of the meadow by peacekeepers, somewhere civilians are not allowed to be, as it’s past the fence line.

Then we’re told after she turns 12, reaping age, she was taken into custody twice for suspected rebellion. Never once charged, never sentenced, never more than a stern talking to. Just let go to rebel again.

She goes as far as to taunt the peacekeepers, reading a seven page document in which she leaves everything to her geese, which should have been grounds for sedition itself.

Her acts got people killed brutally twice:

Next morning, in front of a crowd, the rope snapped and Clay fell to the ground, where a dozen Peacekeeper bullets took him out.

Then Clay’s sister, Binnie, who’d been on borrowed time for a year due to a bad heart, confessed she’d done it. Three days later, Binnie died in her cell, and the uncles were allowed to collect Lenore Dove, promising she’d stay home at night.

And she continued to rebel, painting on the walls with stained fingers. Climbing under the fence, fighting peacekeepers at the reaping.

We’re told in Catching Fire the Peacekeepers were at their most brutal around this time. Katniss says it herself from stories her mother told her:

I can't remember a time before Cray, a time when there was a Head Peacekeeper who used the whip freely. But my mother must have been around my age and still working at the apothecary shop with her parents. Even back then, she must have had healer's hands.

In sotr, Haymitch says a woman was whipped for simply speaking back to Peacekeepers:

Asterid’s the town beauty and rich by District 12 standards. I used to hold that against her, but she showed up one night in the Seam, alone, to treat a neighbor woman who’d been whipped for back-talking a Peacekeeper.

And we’re meant to believe a seven page essay about how her belongings go to her geese isn’t talking back? Isn’t worthy of being punished? Of being whipped or worse when she’s already being questioned about sedition?

Not once is Lenore Dove whipped nor punished for her frivolous and deadly acts. She has insane plot armor that undermines narrative continuity.

walkable cities also means sittable cities send tweet

some people are responding to this like its a joke and im going to assume u are the type of people to say "its only a 3 minute walk" when i tell them the nearest bench is too far away

[officialspec]

also anyone who thinks "3 minutes isnt THAT bad" you will be old one day. and you will wish the bench was closer

The author's poorly disguised fetish

The author's proudly displayed fetish

The author's fetish you're pretty sure they don't realise they have

The author's fetish which they're firmly convinced everyone has and is just pretending otherwise

The author's non-sexual special interest which just sounds like a fetish because of their habitually unfortunate phrasing

The fetish the author is making a well-meaning effort to cater to in spite of clearly not understanding it themselves

The author's fetish that never quite makes it into the text because they keep getting sidetracked by the requisite worldbuilding

The author's utterly pedestrian sexual preference which the text treats like a bizarre fetish because they've got shit to work through

The author's seemingly innocuous recurring trope they're going to have a personal revelation about ten years down the road

The author's fetish you missed on a first reading because it's so far out of pocket, it never occurred to you that you could sexualise that

honestly one of my favorite things about fanfic is when you can see the canon influences come out in really subtle ways. like a canon line thats mentioned once as a throwaway is suddenly the entire premise for a fic or it influences the characterization or something. its just so cool to see how people weave their ideas around a source material, especially if its not a detail i'd thought about before

Of all the things, that hadn’t even been in her realm of possibilities for this conversation.

🫩 no i don't think those characters are siblings i think they're friends. I don't think that's their mom I actually think she's their friend. I don't think they're related actually I think they're friends with each other.
