"If you use em dash in your works, it makes them look AI generated. No real human uses em dash."

Imaging thinking actual human writers are Not Real because they use... professional writing in their works.

Imagine thinking millions of people who have been using em dash way before AI becomes a thing are all robots.

REBLOG IF YOU'RE A HUMAN AND YOU USE EM DASH

I’m sorry I was talking with someone about the AP lit prompt for the third essay today and said that I used the Dracula novel and the character of Jonathan to write the essay, Yknow, cuz it fit. And they straight up said “Are you kidding me, isn’t that a movie?”

Literature and composition.

Partner: WHY on earth do you have 'Check on Johnathan' and 'Listen to Dracula' on today's to do list? Right next to make tea/cut pineapple/fold laundry, what does it mean?

Me: *gazing off into the distance* Our dear friend Johnathan Harker is in peril, yet again, but there is nothing we can do... [ proceeds to explain the whole plot]

Partner: Oh, well ok thats fine I guess, I hope his day gets better

Me: It will absolutely not be getting better

Weird question but is anyone doing anything special on May 3rd aka the Day Our Good Friend Jonathan starts sending us updates on his travels? I'm attempting paprika hendl, if I can find the right kind of paprika in time.

Writing isn't the hobby. Being insane about little fake people is the hobby. Writing is just the only outlet i have for that

my favourite thing about 'Dracula' is how Mina Harker is the cleverest strongest icon out there: girly can write shorthand, learn train timetables by heart, keep a diary daily (my procrastinating arse could never), retype and organise a ton of written information AND a literal audio diary in like a day (????), and deduct the randomest niche stuff like it's nothing?? QUEEN behaviour period. Which is why, while I definitely love the cinematography and the cast in the 1992 film adaptation, the plot absolutely pissed me off. Of course the og misogyny in the novel was very unnerving and impossible to ignore (for me personally) but I bet even Mr Stoker himself would have had a stroke if he'd seen the way they reduced Mina's character to a mindless girl obsessing over the count. Tbh some ooc fanfiction I've read had more 'in character' figures than whatever the hell happened to Mina. Which is fine as an artistic interpretation of the og material I guess but explicitly calling the film 'Bram Stoker's Dracula'-- the audacity lol. The vibes were on point though very reminiscent of the book

its almost may u know. what that mean/s

Happy Dracula daily day, praying for Jonathan Harker and his queer dreams <3

Jonathan is like obviously I picked your new house because it was the creepiest, shittiest old place in town and Dracula is like hell yeah brother
