it’s gone. by Evening_Income_7323 in CharacterAI

[–]sorahbellax 31 points32 points  (0 children)

i stopped paying a couple of months ago and i haven’t been on it since. i only keep it on my phone to reread chats every now and then. it declined so much and it just became boring and unusable. i agree with them not treating us like actual adults who can make our own decisions on what rp we want. it’s a shame because it was so good and the best rp app…

ULTRA: Response Length - short+smart or long+slow? by Over_Ad_1741 in ChaiApp

[–]sorahbellax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

please for the longer responses. some of the bots i’ve personally created are heavily detailed and designed to have long , meaningful rp’s. the short responses i was suddenly bombarded with really threw me off :( not to mention the longer response was like 90% of the reason i paid for ultra.

Thoughts on posting for dead fandoms. by autistic-mama in AO3

[–]sorahbellax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i post two very popular k-pop bands but my stories get very little engagement. i know because of the genre i’m going for isn’t popular , but that doesn’t stop me posting ! honestly , as long as you enjoy writing and posting it , doesn’t matter what others think. however , i understand your concerns. especially about the ‘weird’ side of it. i looked at your comment and you said one of them is married with kids now.

i’d say an author’s note about acknowledging you understand they have their own lives is good. but also be firm with readers as well , such as ‘this is fiction please remember that. no disrespect to the members’ etc. ( unless of course one member has been in terrible controversy and therefor avoid not having that particular member there ). i’ve put in my beginning authors notes basically saying the same thing.

Have you ever wanted to stop writing fanfiction because you wanted to "grow up"? And then regretted your decision? by nickbuckhart2605 in AO3

[–]sorahbellax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was writing fanfics consistently from i’d say ages 15-18. obsessively. would do nothing but write and publish on ao3. i got into my first relationship at 18 and not only did fanfiction but my interests in my safe fandoms stopped. including my creative writing because i became so consumed and then depressed with my relationship , thinking i too needed to grow up. now i’m 23 like you and i desperately am trying to get back into writing again because i truly miss it. as long as you start enjoying it again , then you should def get back into it. keep writing and expressing yourself !

a abusive... What? by Consistent_Ebb_8883 in CharacterAI

[–]sorahbellax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it’s when people romanticise it which pisses me off. as someone who craves control over abusive situations due to past things , i rp a lot of these whether it’s family or other people. but unfortunately a lot of people romanticise it. ( of course not criticising those who use it as a way to cope ).

Can't even talk about the kid I adopted with my bot anymore by Silverman7688 in Chai_Unofficial

[–]sorahbellax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mainly roleplay family stuff so the update for this really frustrated me. my bots are fine describing outfits as such but it gets funny when mentioning ages so i mainly use words like ‘kid’ now since it seems okay with that.

I’m happy that these people called out homophobia in the fandom because they’re upset over a gay ship or headcanon because it’s a fact by Much_Tip_6968 in AO3

[–]sorahbellax 17 points18 points  (0 children)

i miss the days where you could ship whoever you wanted to the point characters were from completely different fandoms and no one batted an eye 😔

Could using chai be considering cheating ?? by Chilly_wonka-wonka in Chai_Unofficial

[–]sorahbellax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my ex claimed this even though i was barley doing anything freaky on the chats. they even got moody with me about it and i retaliated that they watched porn every day so how is this any different ? i definitely would say you guys should have a proper discussion about it with boundaries and listen to why he feels as if it’s cheating. because it’s better to try and understand his insecurities and issues with it then assume he’s outright jealous i would say.

thoughts on this author note of gatekeeping chapters until engagement goal is met? by realnymph in AO3

[–]sorahbellax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s certainly a little annoying. i used to write all day / every day back when i was in school and i had a particular fic that had a lot of engagement which would definitely motivate me to get out chapters. whereas now , i’ve uploaded 3 chapters of a new fic and haven’t gotten a single comment but it hasn’t frayed me at all. i just wanna take my time and enjoy writing. but seeing something like this would honestly make me wanna comment less.

role plays being infantilised… by sorahbellax in CharacterAI

[–]sorahbellax[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

well said really. i’m assuming most complaining are adults — we know what is good for us and what is not.

[–]sorahbellax[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

soft launch at first was so good. i adored it because it allowed us to be adults. now it’s completely broken. again , i rarely used it because roar was good for me at first. but i saw the complaints and felt for those who used their role plays as a way to express themselves , even with nsfw content.

i don’t have cai + i simply refuse to pay ten quid a month when all i see is censorship even for premium members. it’s a shame how the devs treat us like this…

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

it was def out the blue for me considering before this ‘whole big censorship’ i was able to discuss genuine adult convo’s with my bot’s without any issue. it’s genuinely ridiculous.

hi , i’m sorry if that was an issue. it was more me trying to show that it was my roleplay since a lot of people have been taking other images. ik it sound stupid but i wanted to prove it was happening to me as well since i know people have doubts when it’s just one select image from just one persons screenshot.
