Today in niche genres of joke that I can never get enough of and will probably still be secretly thinking about four years later
i’m going to hold your hands when i say this and i am only going to be kind about it once: ai does not belong in fandom spaces, ever. not in writing, not in art, not in video, not at all. it does not matter how bad you want to see your favourite characters kiss, or how much you need a bit of help finishing a chapter, or whatever.
make friends with artists. commission somebody. learn to draw yourself. ask for a beta read. try a writing partnership. fandom spaces are communities, so engage with them! it is about the journey and the fact that we all love something enough to create and build together about that thing.
spending 30 seconds to kill a tree and get an AI to push out some soulless empty piece of “content” is antithetical to the entire point of being engaged with fandom, and if you’ve taken to doing this you should really reconsider if you belong in these spaces with the rest of us.
Justin of the Timber Lake: A mythical figure revered in the early 21st century as the Harbinger of May, thought to be the name of a deity, or possibly some sort of messianic figure
Excerpt from A History of Pre-Contact Earth, published 2903
As I've discussed several times on this account, there's a high probability that Sigyn (with the "Sig" in her name, with the Victorious Woman/Friend of Victory, and the association with fetters, among other things) was a Valkyrie.
And as you know, Valkyries came for brave warriors on the hour of their deaths, to take them to Valhalla. So in this piece I commissioned, the amazing @boomdafunk depicted Sigyn welcoming (MCU)Loki after his death at Thanos' hands.
Narvi: How did you meet mother, dad?
Loki: Well, the day I died
Vali: ... Of course you did... ^^'
The pose from this ilustration was inspired by another of my mythological OTPs, Psyche & Eros :3
In this piece, I guess the roles are reversed, with the winged lover being Sigyn :3
AI Search Engines: Why won't you use us? 😭
Me:
i hate them. they’re so adorable

cw: Mentions of sexual violence, colonialism and sex.
He always felt a sort of disconnect with masculinity.
But also, being raised in a very patriarchal society, witnessing sexual violence and inequality targeted at women, he always felt a sort of duty to be a model man.
He was scared of his own sexual desires because he's seen sex used as a way to harm others.
He conformed with gender roles in order to ease his more progressive ideals amongst his parishioners.
He studied feminism and related those topics to his preachings.
He still had a hard time understanding sexual diversity, yet, he was a progressive priest when it came to LGBT+ rights.
When he learnt he was intersexual, he felt very confused and ashamed. It brought back that feeling of alienation with his role as a man.
It made him realize his own biases about gender identity and sexuality.
That only fuelled the feeling of inadequacy for the role he had been filling as a priest and man of god.
Before he was appointed to the clinic, he received a closeted trans penitent to his church.
He saw himself reflected on them and made the choice to be himself.
Afterwards he started doing more research about the difference between sex and gender.
He saw himself reflected on the people that were beyond women and men. Related to the detachment to one's assigned gender, and the desire to not be perceived and be limited by it.
Learning about the coloniality of gender brought him a lot of comfort and solidified his anti imperialist views.
Now that gender and sex wasn't as structured inside his mind and soul, the idea of sex didn't scare him as much-
Sex wasn't something he had to "take" or do to someone else. And he let himself indulge in fantasies and self pleasure.
He found his own gender identity very personal, something he had acknowledged with god only.
By the time he's in the papacy he's very comfortable with his identity.
He finds he enjoys challenging gender norms in his duties and his presentation. Leaving his hair long and wearing more feminine clothing under his cassock.
Pope Innocent never comes out publicly, but he makes sure the church becomes welcome of trans people.
I think a lot of what pro-AI people are really wanting is stuff that already exists but they don't know it's out there like
can't format a work email? templates
don't know how to write a resume? templates
writing a thank you card or a condolences card or a wedding invitation? templates templates templates

there's a million more like, guys, we don't need AI, we never needed generative AI
“Fyp” we don’t do that here. I mean, Tumblr the app and website tries, but we don't do that here.
“But then how will anyone see it?” peer review.
“How do you get engagement?” by talking and engaging with other people. Or making a devastating typo. Either way.
“But—” Listen, you’re not doing solo stand up anymore. This is a group improv class being held in a SAW dungeon. Good luck.
Can't believe I'm finally here! There is some technical difficulty for people from my country but I'm glad I made it🥰 I watched BBC's Sherlock 8 years ago but didn't fall in love with this adorable couple until this year when I watched it again. Then I just couldn't stop looking for more wonderful fanfics. I know it's a little late but can you please recommend some fanfics for me? Like your favorite stories on Archive of Our Own or some other platform🥹
Oh hey, it’s those two. XD I hope people still remember this movie, because it is AWESOME.
