what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?
would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?
Idgaf if you don't want to write essays for school. I don't care if you don't want to write corporate emails yourself. I don't care if you can't draw well, I don't care if you can't write well, I don't care if you just really really want to talk to your favorite fictional character but don't want to RP with a real person because you have social anxiety or whatever
If you're still regularly using generative ai, chatgpt or midjourney or character.ai or literally whatever the fuck, im personally blaming you when my utility prices start going up.

20 questions for writers.
1: How many works do you have on AO3?
11, as of yet.
2: What's your total AO3 wordcount?
212,620. I have three WIPs that are swap AUs or other AUs that are rewrites of a show/manga's entire run, so it's gonna get even larger.
3: What fandoms do you write for?
Different ones. Demon Slayer and Fullmetal alchemist get the most attention, but there's also SCP, The Owl House, Alice and the Nightmare, and a couple others. How do you think I got a wordcount of 6 digits?
4: What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Cleaning off the Blood (Demon Slayer), Hallow Mind (The Owl House), The Bastard and the Naukara (Hellsing manga), The Jaws that bite, the Claws that Catch (Alice and the Nightmare), Soul Armor Alchemist (Fullmetal Alchemist).
Of course, that's with the kudos bot, so once you get rid of those, it goes,
Cleaning off the Blood, Hallow Mind, The Bastard and the Naukara, Soul Armor Alchemist, Happy Hotel (Hazbin Hotel),
So about the same.
5: Do you respond to comments?
Yeah. When I comment on other fics, I like it when the author replies to my comment, So when others comment on my fic, I reply to their comments.
6: What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I generally don't like fics with bad endings, but I'm in the process of writing The Hodgson Expedition, a fic about the Hodgson expedition, which you find the remains of, literal and otherwise, while playing House of Ashes, a videogame about vampires and the Iraq war.
7: What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
It's unfinished right now, but Soul Armor Alchemist the same ending that the manga it's based off of has, so it'll have the happiest ending.
8: Do you get hate on fics?
A few bot comments. Thankfully, that's it.
9: Do you write smut fics?
As of yet, only one, Caramel Creme. It's got a lot of tongue play and caramel sauce, as you might expect.
10: Do you write crossovers?
No.
11: Have you ever had a fic stolen?
No. I think I'd be somewhere in between flattered and livid if that happened.
12: Have you ever had a fic translated?
No. Hablo un poco de Espanol, so I've floated the idea of translating my works myself, but that's a far off project if it ever happens.
13: Have you ever co-written a fic?
No. I can get territorial with my ideas, so I don't think that I would be a good writing partner.
14: What is your all time favorite ship?
This is why you don't multiship, kids- You can't answer Tumblr questions like these.
15: What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I don't have those, because if I don't finish a fic, the idea of it will rattle around in my head, faster and faster, like ricocheting bullets, until I give in and complete it or go mad.
16: What are your writing strengths?
I'm good at thinking ahead, so I can plan out a story well in advance.
17: What are your writing weaknesses?
I'm good at thinking ahead, which means I spend a bunch of time fantasizing about what something will look like instead of making it look like that.
18: Thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in fics?
I don't trust Google translate, y yo hablo Espanol, pero soy muy gringo, so I don't trust myself either. If I could, I might.
19: First Fandom you wrote for?
Demon Slayer.
20: Favorite fic you've written?
Cleaning off the Blood. It was horribly written when I started, because I was 14, but now, it's something I can be genuinely proud of.
holy shit y’all should watch this one, what an admirable person
Yes, you saw what you saw. Yes, he did what you thought he did. Yes, they aired that with their whole chest.
The next thing they will do is deny that it happened. (you saw wrong, it wasn't what you thought it was, etc) After that they will try to downplay it (it was a joke, he didn't mean it like that, it's a "roman salute," etc) They will try to claim it was the work of AI. (its a deep fake, it's a smear campaign, it's hate speech, etc) They will do everything they can to sweep it aside. Then they will try to bury it. Then they will distract you with meaningless bullshit.
You saw what you saw. He did what he did. And we need to make sure that we do not forget.
Same on AO3. I try to publish something, either a new chapter or work, twice a month.
