My friends fics... they inspire me...

Mace's cybertronian mode is really just described as 'purple' and that's. It. But I thought it'd be cool to add some gold on it too. I don't like Anakin as much but here's my attempt at him.

additional info:

-> “why wasn’t this book listed?” probably because it wasn’t black sapphic-centric, the author isn’t a black sapphic themself, or i just simply haven’t heard of it! so feel free to add on if it meets those two criteria

many of these books require trigger warnings, especially some of the older ones that are more likely to feature racial struggles of the time. please do your due diligence and search for tws if you want to read them!

please feel free to add onto this list in the rbs or comments! happy black history month

I close my eyes. I enter my Mathemagical Mind Palace. I see the object before me. I'm working out the differential equations. The derivative of the function with respect to time is equal to a constant times the second derivative of the function with respect to distance from the origin. A billion vectors rendered in with ray-tracing. I see the phase portrait. I see the three-dimensional manifold in a four-dimensional space. The shadows on the wall and the ancient beings who make the shadows. I peer into the amethyst eyes of the unyielding serpent. I have done my calculation.

Out of the suggested cooking time of "18 to 20 minutes", I will be cooking this pizza for: 19 minutes.

Remember when Ursula K. Le Guin called JK Rowling a nasty basic bitch back in like, 2004? We should have listened

[legok9]

“This last is the situation, as I see it, between my A Wizard of Earthsea and J.K.Rowling’s Harry Potter. I didn’t originate the idea of a school for wizards — if anybody did it was T.H.White, though he did it in single throwaway line and didn’t develop it. I was the first to do that. Years later, Rowling took the idea and developed it along other lines. She didn’t plagiarize. She didn’t copy anything. Her book, in fact, could hardly be more different from mine, in style, spirit, everything. The only thing that rankles me is her apparent reluctance to admit that she ever learned anything from other writers. When ignorant critics praised her wonderful originality in inventing the idea of a wizards’ school, and some of them even seemed to believe that she had invented fantasy, she let them do so. This, I think, was ungenerous, and in the long run unwise.“

[ileolai]

i found the specific quote i was thinking of x

Q: Nicholas Lezard has written ‘Rowling can type, but Le Guin can write.’ What do you make of this comment in the light of the phenomenal success of the Potter books? I’d like to hear your opinion of JK Rowling’s writing style

UKL: I have no great opinion of it. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the “incredible originality” of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid’s fantasy crossed with a “school novel”, good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.

damn gurl :’]

I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation.

A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written.

AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence.

Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same.

There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that.

I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it.

If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene...

then it's real.

Coworkers are bitching about teenagers coming to the park during school hours. First of all you do not know that they are supposed to be in school. School is not prison. Second of all who gives a shit. We are in Baltimore and I would much rather these kids come hang out in the woods than. Like. Literally anywhere else. Do not make them feel bad for being outside.

Coworker: We gotta do something with all these Spanish kids hanging around the grounds.

Me: Great idea! :) Maybe we can get one of the bilingual staff to find out what kind of activities they would like us to run in Spanish. :)

Coworker: That's not what I meant. These kids don't want to come to our programs.

Me: Then we should really try to figure out what kind of new programs we could offer instead! :)

Coworker: They just want to do drugs!

Me: Oh dang, is that what they said when you asked them? :)

i really wanna know which marketing clown convinced so many companies that their employees need to be constantly trying to talk to customers because 90% of the time it just makes me feel like a trapped animal. if i walk into a store and someone approaches me like "HI CAN I HELP YOU" i am gonna say no thanks and probably awkwardly leave without buying anything. the fixed smiles on your cashiers make me feel bad for them. i surely cannot be alone in this. you are losing customers. good job idiots.
