AI is being widely used for "creating" art and writings nowadays. I get that generating images and texts out of nowhere is a lot of fun, but can I just say how much I hate what it does to actual creators?

I put creating in quotes because imo, AI doesn't create. It regurgitates. To me, those who call themselves "AI artists" aren't artists at all. How can you look at something a machine has spat out for you and feel any sort of joy? Don't you know how rewarding it is to truly write/paint something with your own mind and hands? To have an idea and build it from the ground up, pouring all your heart into it?

Please don't let this whole AI thing become normal. It's the death of passion. That genuinely gives me a kind of creeping anxiety. Can't we just all stay creative? Creativity is the best thing we do.

me: I don't want to write a book with a Chosen One; there are just so many of those... I want to write about some normal, regular people, who go through some shit, and there's found family involved. that's it. no more.

me, two years later, two books deep in my "you thought he was the chosen one, that it was all a coincidence, but turns out there's an actual, valid reason behind everything, and he was not chosen for anything. in fact, he is ruining everyone's plans" story: oh boy.

I'm beginning to be okay with the idea that my life will not be "special" in the modern sense. There will not be documentaries made about my pain and how I somehow turned it into a triumph. My struggle will win no tangible reward. My writing might never make it outside of my desktop. I may never feel it on paper, not even for myself. The most I will have accomplished is outlining different things over and over as I try to take my own advice.

Slow down, stop being so hard on yourself and just write. If you can. If I can somehow beat the blossoming tree of rot inside the thing I call "my brain". Even though I pull myself out of bed everyday and try to do the most with what I have. The fight to get out of my own bedsheets will never be more than my own personal struggle.

I'm starting to feel okay with simply surviving the day. Even if no one notices and nothing comes of it. Even if I do end up losing the war to the mysterious organ in my head. Even if I never make it out of my mother's house or have a family or fall in love. I'm still proud of myself for just making it to therapy every day. Even if it's all futile, the way my brain says.

I have always written out of necessity, but why can't I write now that I need to?

I think it’s annoying how on ao3 if you post a new chapter of a fic in a new year, the entire word count will be added to the new year taking away from the word count of the prior 😭

How am I too properly track my word count now? 🥺

Writer Confessions:

I no longer write to music, but when I did, I would usually just listen to a Playlist composed of differently sped versions of Light of the Seven by Ramin Djawadi.

Writer confessions to make other writers feel better because imposter syndrome is a biiiiiitch:

I don't have drafts. Whatever I have published on AO3 is the first and only draft of my stories. (I only read over for spelling/grammar errors and because i enioy reading the story).

Don't think you have to spend weeks redrafting just because someone said so. If you're happy with it, then great, leave it as it is. Don't change something you like because others said that's the rule. Who made them the authority on how to create art?

Win (amatonormatovity lose): Realized well after the fact that there's only 1 canon ship at the end of my fic.

Lose (amatonormatovity win): Cannot stop queer-platonically shipping my aroace character with the sweet person who had a crush on them.

I know aroaces can want and do have qprs, but the problem here is that some aroaces don't want them at all (non-partnering), my character being one of them who has never considered that option.

Sure, she can be one of those who's okay with a qpr, but she's perfectly happy without one and has never indicated otherwise throughout the story.

It's only my brain that wants them to be like a married couple without being married, because that's a trope I like.

I can write my character to want a qpr (I can do what I want) but it just won't make sense for them.

So you can see my dilemma.

Had a nightmare about me, my non-existent brother and a benevolent witch (who was also related to us somehow) being chased through a labyrinthine forest by a variety of horrifying entities.

All in the artstyle of Over The Garden Wall.

There was background music and a plot twist at the end and everything.

I wonder what that says about me.

so does anybody else have that one fandom their brain randomly is illegal to write fanfic about

Like I have happily and remorselesly committed word crimes against every fandom under the sun, but my brain has convinced me that God will personally yeet my ass into the underworld if I act on the Edgy Inspector Gadget AU that just popped into head

I have gleefully committed bloodlust against Blorbos from Power Rangers, DuckTales, Darkwing Duck, basically every Transformers series (mostly rescue bots) and the Bumblebee movie, Mario, Kirby, Sonic, eight different Spider-Men, Bat-Family, FNAF, Teen Titans, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, The Flash,

AND LIKE A MILLION MORE, JUST WITHIN THE PAST YEAR, SOME WITHIN THE SAME GODDAMN DAY,

But brain decided "NO, BAD, JAIL FOR YOU IF YOU WRITE EDGY INSPECTOR GADGET FANFICTION, BAD WRITER, NOBODY WOULD EVER WANT THAT"

does anybody else so this or am I just weird

ngl one of my favorite lines i've ever written is:

"After all, what right did a tower have to rise above the roses?"

like with all the politics happening in the reach during the dance and the tyrell-hightower/lord-vassal tensions i was giggling behind my hand when i typed her

I'm currently planning a slow burn just for funsies and it's torturous. Stop being silly and give me the good stuff! Currently gripping my sheets and screaming. My idea is giving me full body chills. Shaking sweating and crying.

I want to be that person.

I want to be that person

Who do you talk about to others

brag about, think of fondly..

I’ve tried not to be a thing of

inconvenience, not to be a bother

Knowingly or unknowingly.

I thought of it as something I am

protecting you from,

all the while making myself invisible

enough to be forgotten conveniently.

So psychology says, you accept the love

you think you deserve

And this cup of tea isn’t what I meant

to serve

I wanted to be useful but not bothersome

I wanted to love you but with freedom

I wanted you to remember me…

Like a sweet, little memory

But I remained a total mystery

While others seized the chance

even when I booked my seat in advance

unfair it was, totally is still

she caught and you just broke the deal.

I wanted to be that person you talk about

To your near and dear,

I guess, I’ll never be and that’s better. I’d

rather be a secret than a mere

pebble you stumbled upon, liked and kept

for you, so showy, so inept

and then replaced it with a bunch of

flowers

at least pretty to see even if they just

last for hours.
