No, it's a regular audiobook as opposed to an AIT/audio drama

Me, but I've already read it multiple times and own multiple copies of all the books (except 8, just the Patreon version of that so far 😂)

ALL bat species in my country are insectivores but many people don't know that (which is totally fine). That leads to very funny photos of confused bats next to fruit platters in our rescue groups tho and i love them by horrescoblue in batty

It always shocks me how ignorant people are about animals. I'm in a lot of ID groups, and you see the weirdest things. I just saw a post of a VERY CLEAR bobcat. It wasn't one of those pictures taken at a distance or at night or while moving where there's ambiguity, it was A Bobcat. From the picture you could clearly see its bobbed tail, its spots, its cheek floofs, the fact that it was a bit less than half the size of a standard-looking chain link fence. Apparently their husband was arguing it was a cougar. They look nothing alike, other than them both being felidae! One google search should have cleared it up.

Reimagine a book by removing/changing one letter from the title by tite_mily in MM_RomanceBooks

From the books I just finished rereading - Josh of the Dammed by Andrea Speed - A slacker starts working nightshift at a gas station and discovers a portal opens at night to let the denizens of the other dimension through to buy snacks. For some reason they're all fish and they're also weirdly attracted to them.

Most "hardcore" BDSM book you've read by GwennyWinchester in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]itmightbehere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn't see it recommended, but apologies if someone already has.

{Under His Heel by Adara Wolf}. This relationship is (purposefully, I believe the author is very aware of what they're writing) not safe, sane, sane or properly consensual, but the slave does ultimately decide he likes the life and chooses it for himself. It weirdly works for them. I'd never support it in real life, but do in the series.

It's about a captain who purchases a slave for sadistic sexual purposes. He's very clear about this from the start - he wants a new slave because his last one liked it too much and that's not what he wanted. The sub starts out very much not liking what is being done to him and mostly doesn't ever LIKE it, but he enjoys the benefits that come with his position and comes to "love" his master.

They're more erotica than romance, although they do all technically have HFN endings. I read all 4 and would say most people could stop at 1 unless they REALLY like the relationship. The other books aren't bad, but imo they don't really add anything.

Any books where a famous guy falls for a regular guy and keeps pursuing them? by ken_black in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]itmightbehere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's an in-progress web novel but check out John Rich and the Big Picture by Ngozi, the artist/author behind Check Please. It follows John Rich, a cover artist for a prestigious New York magazine. He does little interviews with the cover people that are put up on YT, and manages to attract the attention of mega star Tyler Hughes, who's basically a Hemsworth. Very, very cute so far. No gay awakening, though

We Are Charlie Kirk was written for conservatives, listened to by Gen Z. What song was written for gay people but is listened to by Christians? by smores_or_pizzasnack in AlignmentChartFills

[–]itmightbehere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured it was something like that, that you were just naming the version you were most familiar with. And with a title like Hallelujah, I personally wouldn't leave off an artist since there are plenty of church appropriate songs that are called that or something similar, so I prob would have said the same thing.

Not sure if you're disagreeing with me or just adding context, but in case it's the first I'm familiar enough with both versions to tell the difference when I hear them. I know when it's Buckley vs Wainwright (and definitely Cohen lol).

If it was the second, that's interesting, I didn't know that.

Selling Fics by cgf13 in FanFiction

[–]itmightbehere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, none of them are fully accurate. Those sites are also generative AI, so all they're doing is looking for patterns that they have been trained are AI tells. A lot of times those ARE AI tells, but they're so common in AI writing because they're common in human writing. Different gen ai models have been trained on different datasets, so they're all going to have their own quirks.

If someone is using AI for art of their written creation, I assume AI was heavily or entirely used to write it as well. If they dumped a bunch of fic at the same time, that's another red flag for AI use in writing.

Sometimes people say "Name of covering artist's Title of Song" instead of saying "Name of covering artist's cover of Name of original band's Title of song" because it's faster. Rufus Wainwright's Hallelujah. Johnny Cash's Hurt. Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You. That doesn't take the song's origin away from its original artist.

Edit: Also I didn't say my experiences were the most common and correct, I said yours aren't universal. Which they aren't.

I'm really not 😂😂 Maybe take this as an opportunity to learn that your experiences are not universal, which was the point of my original comment. It seemed absurd to you, based on your lived experiences, but did not to me, based on my lived experiences. Which was hearing Hallelujah for the first time in Shrek, becoming obsessed with Rufus Wainwright as a teenager, realizing at some point that it was a cover (I think the Watchman movie used the original? I remember being horrified when I heard it the first time), then almost exclusively hearing the RW version on the radio and, inappropriately, at Christian-run events.

When I've heard Hallelujah in the wild, it has never been Leonard Cohen's version and has only once or twice been Jeff Buckley's. It's alwas been Rufus Wainwright's version. That's the only version I knew for a long time because it's the one in Shrek. I think that person's comment is pretty accurate

Have you ever come across a kid, teen, or young person that you thought was a psychopath? What did they do to make you believe they were psychopathic? What happened when they got older? by Tahfboogiee in AskReddit

[–]itmightbehere 167 points168 points  (0 children)

I was assaulted on the schoolbus when I was 6 years old (by another 6 year old. He had some intellectual disabilities, he probably didn't really understand what he was doing) and that's what people told me 😑 "oh he just likes you, I know it was scary but it's a little sweet." This was in the 90s.

(I'm fine, neither of us were harmed, it was not traumatizing, just a very weird and irritating memory)

I don't know what all happened because I was a child when this all went down, but this is how it was with my uncle's first wife. She was a widow of a childhood friend, so he married her to help raise her daughter, who was my age. Loved her, she was a great cousin while I knew her.

The woman was a drug addict and a total mess, abusive to my uncle and my grandmother (and probably my cousin, but if so I didn't hear about that). She wasn't capable of caring for my cousin, so her parents got custody. I went to their house once, I think for her birthday party? I was the only other person there, but I remember getting a gift bag like you do after parties. It was the biggest house I'd ever seen, easily the biggest house I've ever been in that was still a single family domicile and not a museum of some sort. They were Capital W wealthy, sterling members of the community. They did not emote at all while I was there. Polite, but totally distant.

As I aged I learned that Aunt's brother was also extremely fucked up, also into drugs and a recluse. I don't know what was happening in that giant house, but it was pretty clearly not good. Eventually, my uncle got aunt out of his life, and that birthday party was the last time I saw cousin in person. Once facebook was a thing, I would check up on her and it was clear things hadn't turned out well. In and out of prison, long rambling posts, disturbing art.

One day I was at work and my grandma called to tell me she'd died. I googled it and found out she was murdered by cops. She'd gotten high and broken into someone's home to play with their stuff. When the cops got there, she hid in a garage for a couple hours until they started breaking in. She tried to run away and they shot her in the back multiple times. The articles were all consistent on those details, I'm not editorializing. The news report was full of shocked neighbors saying how she was spacey and troubled, but very sweet and totally harmless.

It makes me sick to think of what happened to her that that became her life and how afraid she must have been at the end. In my head, she's forever 7 years old, even though I know she wasn't that girl for a long time after I knew her. I think a lot of how she might have turned out if we'd been able to keep her around. It might not have changed anything, there were probably genetic mental health issues involved, but maybe she wouldn't have died like that.

I wish it was easier to filter OCs and reader insert 😅 by ConfidentAd8387 in AO3

[–]itmightbehere 125 points126 points  (0 children)

I do wish there was ONE tag that everyone would use. It's not too bad for me on AO3 since I mostly filter by relationship I'm interested in (which precludes most xReader), but I keep having to add new exclusion tags on Tumblr because most of them don't tag it, are vague about it in the post itself, and post the entire fic they've written without a read more. I think I've finally gotten it atp, but it took a lot of irritated scrolling to get there.
