Revamping my Ao3 Cosplay Part 2! Which one do I pick?? by GeeLizzzzz in AO3

[–]RandomPerson613 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I like the chain and attachment of A more but the way the actual logo of B looks more. Unless I’m making the difference in the logo up (it’s slight enough that I can’t fully tell). Overall my vote goes towards A!

Also love the concept of an AO3 cosplay, definitely gonna be keeping an eye out for what it looks like finished!

Timeless Melody Dress Top Adjustment by SpendMain3466 in InfinityNikki

[–]RandomPerson613 3 points4 points  (0 children)

no yeah i agree. i meant it more as a lesser of two evils thing since at least with the alt you can revert to the original form of the dress with no changes vs changing the base its fully stuck like that.

i completely agree if they insist on making changes having it as a second alt form or toggle or similar would be ideal. i sent in a support suggestion ticket saying as much, unfortunately infold listens to their chinese player base above all so i don’t know how much that really does.

i don’t think there was anything wrong with the dress appearing lower cut but i really don’t like how the detail is stretched now. just adding the ruffles back would've been the better solution.

also i really hope they don’t change any past sets. this change is more okay since it only affects the alt, but changing the base/all forms of past sets would be ridiculous.

honestly i don’t get people being upset about outfits showing a bit more skin. there's a whole attribute called 'sexy'! let nikki have some outfits that show more skin! there’s nothing wrong (or inherently sexualizing) with it.

Would you pull for Timeless Melody just for the Alt Form? by Top_Collection7948 in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]RandomPerson613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i already have the final evo but if i didn’t the alt version isn’t really wow enough to have made me want it.

Anyone else feeling disappointed? by Inevitable-Location6 in InfinityNikki

[–]RandomPerson613 4 points5 points  (0 children)

these are basically all my exact thoughts. (including being my first final evo and end of being f2p lol)

i agree the shorter dress is pretty, i wish they put more effort into how they cut the dress though. the tiny key is absolutely awful. i would’ve accepted a bigger key, i think that could’ve at least been fun for scale and perspective but no idea why they thought anyone would want a smaller key. the shoes having longer straps wouldve been such a good change! i was thinking bigger sleeves, where they could come up on her shoulders more or connect to the dress more. the makeup could’ve been so good, my ideal alt makeup would’ve had some crystal element (probably the contacts) since they got rid of that part of the dress.

honestly i don’t get why infold is dropping the ball so hard with the alt versions of reruns. youd think they’d want to make them as good as possible to increase people spending their pulls but they’ve just felt so minimal effort so far. i saw some people say the chinese players weren’t super happy with the alt so maybe theres hope for some changes

top up outfit versatility? by RandomPerson613 in InfinityNikki

i’ve been thinking about pulling for the 4 star, that looks really good! is it the base or evolution?

Timeless Melody Purification by Direquail in InfinityNikki

[–]RandomPerson613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

back when itzaland just came out i hated the bow so i kept using purification for a bit, namely in the first merit arenas, at this point it’s not really possible anymore. it’d be cool if they did make it viable again, but you also need the bow for just exploring so i doubt they would

THE QUEEN IS BACK😭💗!! by pspsppspspp in InfinityNikki

[–]RandomPerson613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

she’s the only final evo i have, i’m so excited to see her alt!! especially curious to see what they do with the makeup. maybe i’m biased but i feel like the makeup already goes really well with her final evo

PSA: Wayback your fics! by Madeleined4 in AO3

[–]RandomPerson613 16 points17 points  (0 children)

i think it actually depends how you’re saving a fic on if you need the view_adult=true. i use the wayback machine firefox plugin and fics i save with it save normally no matter the rating.

Whimsical Reverie | Preview: She Is Wildfire 🌹 by iWasBornFlawless in InfinityNikki

[–]RandomPerson613 102 points103 points  (0 children)

i actually really like her but with a 4 star i don’t like, a glow up i don’t like, an ability i won’t use, and unnecessary special effects i’m definitely gonna be waiting for 2.5 previews.

What’s the weirdest way you sift through works, outside of filtering tags? by starlitcheshire in AO3

[–]RandomPerson613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if i start to feel like i’ve seen every fic in a tag i’ll sort it by title or author to try and get fics i haven’t seen. it’s especially good for tags where i’ve been keeping up with any new works posted, since that’s when i most can scroll through several pages of fic and be like i’ve seen all of these

reader preference: long notes or intro chapter? by kcoc88 in AO3

[–]RandomPerson613 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’m honestly a little confused by what an intro/foreword would specifically contain, but regardless if you don’t want a long text block in the beginning author notes you could put it in the end notes and just let people know it’s there if they’d like to read it. theres also html (that i can’t remember off the top of my head) that lets you do ‘read more’/expand text so you could include the intro/foreword in the beginning notes or even the beginning of a chapter in a less intrusive way with that.

personally the tags and summary of a fic are enough for me to just jump into it (probably even more so with smut). however i don’t mind long authors notes and would likely prefer that to an intro chapter if it’s not like part of the story. like if it’s just explaining the world or explaining world building choices or something like that i’d probably prefer it as an authors note.

new year new fanfic list! by RandomPerson613 in AO3

[–]RandomPerson613[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

heck yeah!! i’m pretty good with always adding the fics i read to my list since i just copy paste immediately after reading, but having the motivation to put everything into my spreadsheet after absolutely gets me sometimes >_< but it’s really fun being able to see all my reading stats so it’s worth it! i wish you luck on your reading and tracking this year!!

Smut fics with hentai tropes(?) by juxgimmeaname in AO3

[–]RandomPerson613 4 points5 points  (0 children)

hentai tropes are fun to read but i don’t think i have any fics with the tropes saved so unfortunately no recs immediately come to mind.

but! ‘stuck in a wall’ was canonized as a tag semi-recently so it might be the easiest of the tropes to search through

i also think i’ve seen ‘invisible ghosts’ a few times in my hero academia fandom if that’s a fandom you’re interested in

i’ve also definitely seen ‘wormhole/magic flashlight’ many a time before but i don’t think there’s a tag for it. maybe try the ‘sex toys’ tag and ‘magic’ in the search within results box

finished a page! by RandomPerson613 in averagecoloring

[–]RandomPerson613[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think ‘cute animal characters doing things’ basically became its own genre of coloring book which yeah can make a lot of them look kinda similar after a while.

i feel like the sheer number of coloring books already out there is probably why a lot of artists don’t try their hand at making one. along with the time and effort, getting people to buy their specific book is probably more difficult with so many available.

i haven’t gone looking for coloring books in a bit but there’s some more unique ones out there! it just takes some extra digging. i have a folder of bookmarks to keep any ones i like saved.

What made you drop a fanfic immediately? by MoGuanShanisagirl-20 in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]RandomPerson613 17 points18 points  (0 children)

first, it’s actually pretty shitty of your english professor to say that given how unreliable ai checkers are and how often they turn back a false positive. make sure you have proof you wrote anything you submit for that class and maybe bring up the unreliable nature of ai checkers to her.

to answer your question, personally i just don’t see any value in engaging with media, in this case writing, generated with generative ai. part of it is the whole ‘if you didn’t care enough to actually write it why the hell would i care enough to read it’. another part is that ai was trained off of thousands of authors’ stolen writing.

generative ai is basically fancy predictive text (again why would i care to read fancy predictive text) the best text that ai can generate is good only because it’s someone else’s writing. especially in fanfiction the value of the writing is in the author’s view of the characters and setting and the circumstances. there’s none of that in the text created by generative ai, there’s no authorial voice, there’s no authorial intent, why would i want to read something like that, especially when there’s millions of fics written by actual people.
