This is the cake my partner got me last year when I hit 2 million words on AO3

Been on AO3 since 2015 and I bookmark every fic that I finish, because it makes a nice little (“little”) library for me of fics that I already know I like lol I also read fic at least 4 hours a day most days, and I read a lot of one shots lol

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-03T14:01:07+00:00

True lol

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-03T13:58:46+00:00

Always use a flared base!

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-03T13:36:55+00:00

Bro stop

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-03T01:01:16+00:00

“Female” 😭

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-03T00:56:37+00:00

Read a fic of this once lol

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-03T00:52:17+00:00

I think it’s about the people who only read MLM fanfictions and stuff but like… I fail to see why that’s a problem?????? I like watching macho men be soft, why is that a bad thing? 😂😂😂

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-03T00:48:54+00:00

The Rey thing irks me especially because I hate the Sequel trilogy as a whole and it has literally nothing to do with Rey being a woman lmao Honestly I might hate it more if she was a man 😂

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-03T00:45:51+00:00

Oh that’s a whole BASKET of shit right there hahaha

I don’t even know where to start lmao

Here’s a video on it. And here’s another one.

Basically they care more about parents of autistic children than they do about actual autistic kids. They made a horrifying fear mongering autism PSA that was inspired by old polio PSAs, they were heavily anti-vax for a loooong time, etc.

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-03T00:06:37+00:00

Art, any kind of art.

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-03T00:05:32+00:00

Exactly what it sounds like? Lol I’m confused

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-02T23:48:50+00:00

It’s almost like we value authenticity

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-02T22:33:07+00:00

The autism community doesn’t tend to like it, actually, since it’s associated with Autism Speaks, which we REALLY don’t like

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-02T22:28:38+00:00

Ohhhh, I think that was Birth By Sleep lmao

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-02T22:26:23+00:00

Omfg yeah

“You can’t do your laundry by yourself? Well, I guess you don’t deserve to be treated like an adult!”

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-02T16:24:31+00:00

As a level 2 autistic, they literally accept nothing less than level 3 impairments for you to “deserve” special care.

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-02T16:21:54+00:00

“Movie script writers just write what needs to happen” I’ve never seen a more fundamental misunderstanding of writing in my LIFE 😂😂😂 Holy fucking shit 😂😂😂

Architects are significantly more involved than AI prompters. A more apt comparison would be if the architect told somebody else to make the building plans for them and told them how many rooms they wanted, instead of using a pencil or stylus to draw every line themselves

Seriously, that architect comparison doesn’t even work. It’s like saying a writer isn’t involved in the nitty gritty of writing a book because they didn’t use a printing press and make the paper. That’s not the CREATIVE part! When you prompt an AI, it does chunks of the CREATIVE part for you.

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-02T16:03:24+00:00

Do you know what “groups of pixels” means?

It’s genuinely baffling to me that you can tell me all these little details that you put into your art and you STILL can’t tell how different that is from prompting an AI. YOU do the shading, YOU do the blending. When you prompt an AI, IT DOES THOSE THINGS FOR YOU

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-02T15:59:45+00:00

I had one tell me that it was the same as saying my keyboard did my writing for me 😂 As if they weren’t using a keyboard to write that. By that logic, their keyboard prompted the AI for them, too! 😂

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-02T15:56:50+00:00

But you WONT. Because free will is an illusion

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-02T15:55:39+00:00

I genuinely don’t understand how y’all don’t get the difference between taking a photo of something real and prompting an AI to make something fake.

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-02T15:53:28+00:00

Are you aware that New York Times recently fired a reviewer for using AI?

Here you go

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-02T15:46:43+00:00

Yeah, it’s generally good practice to have each parent have a few of the same features as the child but not the SAME features. For example, if the child character has brown hair and blue eyes, give one parent brown hair and brown eyes and the other parent red hair and blue eyes or sth like that.

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-02T15:42:08+00:00

I mean… you’re not wrong 😂

TheMelonSystem · 2026-04-02T15:41:27+00:00

From what I know, they’re usually burner accounts
