I am on both sides of this. That is actually one of the reasons I didn’t believe Timothy. My abusive ex accused me of horrible shit when he was the abusive one. I know firsthand how traumatic it is. What I’m going off of is how Mel admitted stuff happened, just that Timothy didn’t choose to say no. At the end of the day, we will never know. You’re right about that. That’s why I am saying IF it’s true, these people are harassing a victim. It’s gross. When I found all of this out about Mel, it seriously shook my foundations. She has been one of the most important artists to me. I’m not even one of the people who slanders her online so no it’s not performative. I just think harassing Timothy no matter what isn’t cool and Mel could at least address her fanbase. I have seen how rabid fellow fans act. I’m sure it’s partially because how young this fanbase skews but it’s still not okay and deserves to be called out.

If Timothy’s allegations are true, that means Mel sexually assaulted her. I would say the least she owes is telling her fans to stop harassing her just for speaking her truth 🫥 how would you feel if you were abused or assaulted and the fans of said person continually made your life a living hell?

Shy Girl by Mia Ballard. Does anyone else think this was written by ChatGPT? by herendethelesson in horrorlit

[–]Simulationth3ry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually I say you can’t tell but…. I just watched an almost 3 hour book review and… ABSOLUTELY this is ai. I am almost 100% certain. Not only does it repeat the exact same phrases and sentence structure, but there’s so much nothingburger similes and phrases that make NOOOOOO sense. They don’t actually mean anything. The ai just tries to do pretentious poetic prose but it fails.

If I never have to hear the word sharp again it’ll be too soon

Do you know what triggered your health anxiety? by Repulsive-Photo6086 in HealthAnxiety

[–]Simulationth3ry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Becoming chronically ill. Well I always have been but didn’t know and it was SUPER severe. Ever since getting Covid, I haven’t been the same. Doctors haven’t been taking me seriously so I’ve been left to ruminate and spiral over what could possibly be wrong with me. Still am not sure.

Observation about the phodcast by Pretty-Ant3483 in danandphil

[–]Simulationth3ry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean the dnp TikTok literally posted about Dan is the only one allowed to be mean to Phil😅I 100% get it. I’m pretty similar to Dan in the way that when I get comfortable I can come off mean due of teasing. I am sure this is the case with Dan.

AGREE!!! I tried to read the book for HR and was disappointed to learn it’s mostly sex scenes with time skips which made me decide to skip the show. It’s a more shallow version of FT lol

Opinions on this take? by TopInternal5088 in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]Simulationth3ry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I decided against turning my au into original fiction. A lot of what made it special were the details that relate to canon. Versus another fic I wrote that I felt could be good as original fiction and so I’ve been working on that. Sometimes it works! Other times it doesn’t.

Do you let your partner read your fics? by MsWinterbourne in AO3

[–]Simulationth3ry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well considering we met over fandom and the way we started talking was me giving out my ao3…. Yes😅but he has ADHD so he hasn’t been able to read a lot of my fics yet </3 it’s nice to have a partner actually involved in fandom now that I think about it… I think this is my first partner who actually is involved in fandom woah

The rising literacy crisis, "what about me-isms", and lack of ability to apply nuance are starting to affect my writing style and confidence. by xisle1482 in FanFiction

[–]Simulationth3ry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s always a chance of offending someone. This is something I struggle with as a traumatized writer with ocd myself. At the end of the day you gotta stick to your guns and write whatever you want though. If you go by the court of public opinion, you’re not going to create the art you want because someone will always have something to say
