Happy Moon Day Monday! We choose to go to the Moon not because it is easy, but because it is the hottest club in town.

Pearls: Dance Party on the Moon a fanvid of 32 films set partially or fully on the moon other streaming options and subtitles on AO3 here

Okay. I was on my beloved AO3 and I saw something that made me do a double take. So, now I really want to know…

What is your AO3 user ID?

I’m an OG user 5 digits or less

Six figures baby!

I’m in the millions…

Remaining time: 1 day 4 hours

I’m so curious to see how long people have been on AO3! I know some people have been on there since beta/invite only, but I would love to see what the number is on tumblr!

My maybe outdated old person unpopular opinion is that podcasts have no business being video instead of just audio

[bigstripeylie]

I just need to more people to be aware that there’s a Taskmaster video game that contains this absolutely insane soundbite

[autistichare]

[GREG: Well I don't believe it. I think the entire Taskmaster enterprise is just an excuse for you to get prurient thrills from being punished in public. And you've finally gone mask-off.

ALEX: And do you want to tell me off for that?

GREG: No, you little deviant! I want to get on with the scoring. /end ID]

is this anything

[takofukkatsumi]

Reblog this and tell me what was your biggest crying over a piece of fiction. You can be vague if you don't want to spoil.

in betweens

i have been fortunate enough to live a life in the arts, creating things and following hallowed footsteps. its something many buckaroos dream of, and as someone who has done it, THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS i received are the moments in between. if you generate with AI, THAT is what you rob yourself of

anyone who has done theater will know this, because it lives in the energy backstage. anyone who has played in a band will know this, because it lives in the late night diner afterwards. anyone who has written a book will know this, because it lives the coffee shop where your plot point locked in

in other words IT IS NOT THE PRODUCT. yes, it is cool to see your name on a marquee or your book in a store or your face on a poster, but the REASON this is cool is because it tethers you to the BETWEEN TIMES. the between times are everything. the PROCESS of creation is a gift to yourself

i think this is REALLY difficult for these ai goofballs to understand, and why the things they make dont resonate. anything you create without the in between is just a hollow shell, a movie poster without small talk at crafty or an album without eating burritos on the studio rooftop

we have ALWAYS had the ability to NOT make something and pretend that we did. the difference now is theres an algorithm built for convincing people whove never stepped outside the theater door for a smoke break on opening night that they actually have. they have not. there is no ai for that.

because the only way to conjure the unfathomable magic of those in between moments is to live them, and when you get a hit of excitement from a prompted movie or book or song without a journey of creation, you rob yourself. you curse yourself to exist as a cardboard cutout who thinks they are whole

omg it’s FAN FICTION FRIDAY

Reblog and promote a fic of yours <3

[twwings]

My 115k human-au-that's-not-a-human-au fic is pretty great, I think! It's called a grain of sand and I honestly think it has some of the best writing I've ever done. Good Omens, Crowley/Aziraphale, E-rated, post-S2 reconciliation fic. Now complete!

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

the phrase "Honor Princess Detective is a tour de force" would not leave my brain until i drew this

[ID (copied from alt): A three-panel comic depicting Murderbot, Sofi, and Farai from the Murderbot Diaries in a simplified style.

In the first panel, Sofi excitedly says, "SecUnit!!! The season finale is about to start!!!" while adorning Murderbot's head with a tiara. Murderbot responds on the feed, "Yes, I see it."

In the second panel, Murderbot and Sofi are seen from behind while Farai walks past carrying a basket. She says on the feed, "You don't have to indulge her."

The third panel shifts into a more detailed and intense style in a close-up of Murderbot's serious face. It says, "Honor Princess Detective is a tour de force." In the corner, a simple style Farai resembling the nervous smiling emoji says, "Okay." /end ID]

“they’re just looking at each other” you could not begin to understand the complexities involved in looking at each other

they both have their "I just got turned into a vampire and I'm gonna go visit my mom" glasses on

[nerdyqueerandjewish]

My job had a training on AI and I was surprised how honest it was about AI’s limitations and problems, and we spent our activity time finding errors and issues with responses made by AI. But it did beg the question, why would I use this

[nerdyqueerandjewish]

The trainer was like, think of AI as an intern, student worker, or new coworker! They can do tasks for you, but be sure to carefully check their work.

We just established that this “new coworker” is racist, sexist, and can’t do math - why would I ask for their help??

[twwings]

interns, student workers, and new coworkers all belong to the same category: people who are in the process of LEARNING to do a job. genAI is never going to improve; it is incapable of learning. if you hire a human to be a new coworker and they literally never get better at doing anything, you fire them.

like. good lord. think about your metaphor for one second

fic: a grain of sand (now complete!)

I have now posted the last chapter of my epic Good Omens fic, a grain of sand, so if you were waiting to be able to read the whole thing, here you go! I am very soft and tender about the ending and I hope you love it as much as I do. If you're so moved, I really hope you'll reblog/rec it around, now that it's done!

Pairing: Aziraphale/Crowley

Words: 115k

Rating: Explicit

Summary: To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour. - William Blake, "Auguries of Innocence"

Or,

Crowley and Aziraphale are having an argument. They figure it out eventually.

Tags: Human AU (concept of), Falling In Love, First Kiss, Kissing, so very much kissing, the E rating is for Eventually, Existential Dread, Amnesia, Repressed Memories, metafic, set post-s2, mostly written post-S2, finished and posted post-S3, feels surprisingly relevant to S3 tho, fixit, ineffable divorce, ineffable reconciliation, ineffable husbands, Ineffable Wives, multigender Aziraphale, multigender Crowley, gender is a human construct and these two fuckin love human constructs, supernatural beings will do anything except go to therapy

Read the completed fic!

[twwings]

Reblogging because I'm really proud of this fic and I think it's really really good and I wish more people would read it! idk can I recommend this fic to you? It is every kind of good omens human AU while also being a S2 fixit? The ten people who have read it seem to like it a lot?
