Being a fanfic author is spending two hours fact checking every detail of a real life assassination that happened 80 years ago for a Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel chapter that you know damn well absolutely no one will care about.

Just finished Wolfsbane on Webtoon (Ryan Cady and Morgan Beem) and came to Tumblr to find the fans.

Where are yall at???

Send help and emotional support. Also go read Wolfsbane on Webtoon.

Sorry to all my readers on Ao3. I'll come home to you.

My brain will just create new WIPs against my will, it’ll just start going, I have no say in which one I work on, in fact, WIP actually stands for Writer in Peril, help

“fun fact: as a DV survivor i cannot register to vote because doing so makes my address public. anyone who is fleeing or hiding from an abuser is automatically disenfranchised from the political process and this is a feature, not a bug”]

Y'all I know that when so-called AI generates ridiculous results it's hilarious and I find it as funny as the next guy but I NEED y'all to remember that every single time an AI answer is generated it uses 5x as much energy as a conventional websearch and burns through 10 ml of water. FOR EVERY ANSWER. Each big llm is equal to 300,000 kiligrams of carbon dioxide emissions.

LLMs are killing the environment, and when we generate answers for the lolz we're still contributing to it.

Stop using it. Stop using it for a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. We need to kill it.
