yippee.... @torabdos - Tumblr Blog

hi i have a fallen london sideblog now

I'll start posting arts from there instead and reblog them here

OKAY. Um. I'm not sure how to ask this but my interest has rotated back to original content writing, and i've got a decent chunk written up. Problem is it's written in (traditional) chinese, so i'm wondering: if i post it somewhere (current idea is ao3) without directly translating (there's quite a lot to translate including subtext), would anyone want to take a look with say. Google translate or something better?

Honestly it started out as an experiment on hey. What would happen if the stacks incident (anfroy) happened to someone else in a different setting and spiralled into something very different, so relevant tws apply (+tw for vomiting. Happens at some later point of the story, in the draft it's currently right near the end of an arc so there's around 10k words or so cushioning time)

i. might have finished writing it from start to finish within a week.

i've decided to start translating it to english. Hopefully it'll take like. A month ish

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.

there’s this term i coined in my friendgroup i call “the charizard effect” and it can apply to anything and everything, but it was born from me explaining my feelings about the pokemon charizard. the term is basically about how overexposure to something be it by corporate shilling or fandom prominence drives me away from really enjoying something bc i’m exposed to it so much against my will i become tired of it. it came to me bc i was ranting about how tpci does not, and cannot stop reinventing charizard, and how it is popular and obtusely included in almost every region, merch, etc in every way possible and it’s highly commodified.

i dont dislike the pokemon charizard, in fact i really like its X form, but i am exposed to so much charizard in my pokemon consumption that i cant be bothered to care for it in any more than in passing. this applies to a bunch of other stuff i’d otherwise be ok with, but i always just call this aversion phenomena “the charizard effect”

blxnc

making this term has done numbers for me being able to concisely express how i feel abt something. like. its not charizard’s fault i feel this way, im sure i’d feel normal abt it if it was stripped of all this over commodification, but i cannot. hence the name

If you ever think there's no good in the world, remember that if a mouse finds a friend unconscious then they'll perform a type of instinctual CPR, and it works.

Three studies show that a mouse will try to rouse an unconscious companion

I wish Americans fucked with more foreign music. You don’t have to know the language to appreciate a good record. Folks in other countries listen to our music and don’t speak a lick of english. Music needs no translator

You can try Radiooooo.com - The Musical Time Machine!!

choose a country, pick a decade, and GO!!

you’ll get an endless streaming of songs (ad free!).

I personally found myself loving 1970s Ghana, Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire! Also 1920s and 1970s Japan for sure! Cambodian music: spectacular. Love Armenia and Mali as well. I’ve been told 70s Germany is weird and 30s Algeria is cool but I haven’t gotten around to those yet. Italy’s 1960s is bomb ofc but I’m biased ;)

Hey i'm dipping my toes into nsfw writing

ingramposting

i think (suggestive+general personal lore)

one important thing that i rarely touch on because i'm constantly struggling to try to write nsfwly but he's used to bedding/getting bedded (the latter moreso than the first) first the developing feelings (maybe) afterwards. This includes his spoumses, and as for the other two people he has been confirmed to have had actually liked: the once-dashing smuggler as most people know he literally has been doing the whole pseudo/actual flirting/courting so early game Anfroy who kinda needed someone to latch onto just did exactly that, whereas the occurence mentioned also applies to the clay highwayman.

So to realise he has feelings to someone he personally feels/thinks is at most a trustworthy and cool person and also has literally never seen him like. Anything beyond maybe the other not having a jacket is quite the novel experience

backporting additional stuff (not really that suggestive but personal + general firmament lore)

aristocrating

its 2026 i cannot handle any more fucking "author A obviously ripped off author B" discourse by people Who Have Only Seen the work of author B and admit themselves that they have no further knowledge of the literary landscape they are moving in. like.
