the benoit blanc movies show really beautifully how to write a queer character whose story is not centered around their queerness. it's shown that benoit blanc is gay married (to hugh grant!) it's shown that he participates in queer mediums like musical theater and fashion, but none of those things are ever explicitly remarked on. he doesn't have a big coming out scene because he doesn't need one; and the subtle details about him not speaking to his mother, the way he associates a church with homophobia, allows us to draw conclusions about how his family felt about his queerness without making that the sole conflict in his story. the conflict in benoit blanc's story is not that he exists in the world as a gay person, it's that he's always trying to wrangle a bunch of 30 somethings into not confessing to crimes they didn't commit

you mean that you show that the church that we enter is devoid of faith by having the cross (the cross that grace destroyed) (the woman controlled by her father that still believed in her father's word) (because he was a man of faith) (and was betrayed in the end because dressing provocatively is a sin not as easily forgiven as is lying) (and so faith is long gone from that church because grace is gone) (that poor girl) be empty and the shadow of it clearly visible in the wall that has to bear it?

you mean that you show when a character is showing grace (like the name of the character that was wronged and why this all happens in the first place) (that not once is shone with that light because she was forgotten by the very god that her father worshipped) (that poor girl) light shines upon them like god themselves is guiding the shone-upon character?

and that this is the only moment that benoit doesn't solve a case, at least officially, because having grace (the sun dims every time benoit talks) (only shining when he realizes he's being selfish) (when he understand that this is bigger than himself) (that this is not a game) is more important than being right.

you mean to tell me that when father jud carves a new cross (bringing faith back into the church) he carves the figure on it in a way that can be understood both as jesus and as grace (a woman he has never met) (but a woman that looks so much like himself) (pointed at as a sinner just for being human) and that in the heart of the statue he puts eve's apple (returning it back to grace) (the rightful owner) (the only way he can) (righting a wrong he didn't cause) bringing grace finally into the church as a revered and not a hated figure (because his purpose is not to fight the wicked) (but to serve them and bring them to christ) (and where finally, finally, the light of the sun shines upon her)?

yeah i guess you could say i thoroughly enjoyed the imagery of wake up dead man. it was pretty neat.

chatgpt is the coward's way out. if you have a paper due in 40 minutes you should be chugging six energy drinks, blasting frantic circus music so loud you shatter an eardrum, and typing the most dogshit essay mankind has ever seen with your own carpel tunnel laden hands

[sharpth1ng]

Most of my job is marking essays and I will tell you this:

1. Most of the time it's painfully obvious when you're using AI because it spits out the most generic takes possible, and it often attributes statements to people who did not make those statements.

2. An AI paper fills me with a vitriolic rage the likes of no other. It makes me viscerally angry that you're wasting my time and yours this way. School is expensive. There are so many people who would love to be here, who would love to actually be learning but they cant afford to. Have some respect and actually use the education you're privileged enough to be able to pay for.

3. An AI paper will get you reported to the academic integrity office, because it's plagiarism. This is not an opinion of mine its a school policy. An academic integrity violation will follow you for the rest of your academic career (if you're even able to get anyone to give you a second chance) and beyond. Its not worth it.

4. A half assed, insane, incoherent paper that I know you wrote the night before? Relatable. Endearing. Ive been there, I can see you trying. You'll get the best mark I can reasonably give you- it might not be a great mark but it won't be as low as a chatgpt mark. You won't get an academic integrity violation on your record and you might actually learn something.

As a TA im always willing to help people if they ask for help. If you're confused or behind in a class I'm paid to help you keep up. Most schools also have writing centers, where you can access free tutors who will help you with outlines and editing your work.

There is no shame using those resources. The students that do use them reliably end up with better grades at the end of term, and they also save time because its a lot harder to spot your own mistakes than it is to have someone else point them out to you.

Ok rant concluded, carry on.

University tutor/TA here and I can second ALL of the above. Red Bull will destroy your evening. AI will destroy your academic career.

Writing a 40-minute paper on energy drink fuel is a time-honored tradition and infinitely more valuable to you as a person. We don’t assign essays for the purpose of gathering essays—we’re trying to teach you how to think critically and argue for your observations. There’s no point in having a degree if you don’t have the skills the degree confirms you were trained in.

Currently having a hot mug of homemade chicken stock on a cold and rainy Sunday and having fresh hot bread to dip in it. I feel like someone cozily dying of consumption in 1880

some days, those times when no food will pass these lips, a scoop or so of mushroom stock dissolved in hot water is what we need to keep us going.

“You asked me, and before you say if you did say indeed words, whether in writing or in speech that simply never reached my ears, I take this moment then not to be certain, for I need you to hear this knowing that I am uncertain of the world that awaits me when I finish speaking.

“You spoke to me of honor, honor to me means something deep and profound. It is the pursuit of what is right when circumstances are against you. It is the doing of what is good and noble when the world conspires to prevent you from it, and in that sense I have never lived an honorable day. Every service I have done has been the path of least resistance. Every suffering of mine has been because I feared and feared greatly: to disappoint, to earn scorn. Each day I have been a coward. And seeing you in this Bloom, I have seen true bravery, without which there can be no honor.

“So, if you would let me, act with honor for the first time in my life, I would ask you for your hand, and for a kiss.

“You are beautiful beyond words, braver than the morning sun which dispels the night. There is one injury of yours that must be amended. You said that you felt alone. Never here. Not while I draw breath. I renounce the Goblin Court in its entirely and foreswear all oaths of loyalty to king and kin. If you are orphaned, then so am I, and you will never know a lonely day again, as long as I draw breath.

Grabalba is in the woods after the theatre and spots a familiar, abandoned military jacket and halberd, and then spots a naked Hob making out with Rue

She punches her fist in the air and whispers a quiet, “Go Hob!”

I’ll be 18 in September and I’m petrified.

You're 17 and 4/5ths right now, you're not aging up a full year, you're just gonna be a few months older than you are right now. Time moves on, the numbers keep going up, the numbers are meaningless.
