like i'm sorry but we as a fandom have to stay firm on our anti-AI values. we cannot suddenly start giving AI a pass when it's something we "want to see" like destiel kisses. it's not suddenly fine. we're not going to start using AI to make fanfic scenes come to life or audio AI to make characters "say" stuff we want to hear. you have GOT to be firm on your anti-AI stance. if you start making exceptions then suddenly anything will fly. fandom is for real art and creations made by real people. no AI fanfics. no AI art. no AI rendered "bonus" scenes. no AI audio. none of it has a place here.

nautical terms are just a bunch of words i'll never be able to understand or remember, and when i look them up they're always referencing other terms to explain the one i'm reading about and i'm like i don't know what you're talking about zero idea no thoughts just confusion

[argentkosmos]

[argentkosmos]

[argentkosmos]

writing is so hard i have these ideas in my head and my words just,, dont do them justice!

[argentkosmos]

I figured out where I belong (But is it too late to come on home?)

Fandom: Haikyuu!!

Relationships: Iwaizumi Hajime/Oikawa Tooru,

Characters: Iwaizumi Hajime, Oikawa Tooru

Tags: Explicit, No Archive Warning Apply, Post-Time Skip, Anal Sex, Top Iwaizumi Hajime, Bottom Oikawa Tooru, Orgasm Delay, Porn with Feelings, Light Angst, Jealousy, Arguing, Love Confessions, Getting Together, Resolved Romantic Tension

Summary: It’s been months since the last time he’s had Tooru like that, so Hajime knows he needs to treasure the little time he has. He’s going to be on the other side of the world again in two days and Tooru will end up in the arms of some stranger Hajime already despises. It's not an open relationship, theirs, it’s not even a relationship, in fact. Hajime and Tooru and lines in between.

Length: 5,598 | 1/1 Chapters

i have a new iwaoi fic ready 😏

[argentkosmos]

i think my "issue" with the word "love" in english is that you use it for everything, it means platonic love, romantic love, and sometimes also as a stronger synonym for "like", it's also both a noun and a verb, whereas in my first language we have a distinction between "ti voglio bene" (I love you, platonic) and "ti amo" (i love you, romantic), the noun for love "amore" is slightly different from the verb "amare" and also we barely use "amare" in its infinitive form, we usually conjugate it so you have "io amo, tu ami, egli ama" (i love, you love, he loves) or "io amai, tu amasti, egli amò" (i loved, you loved, he loved) or "io amerei, tu ameresti, egli amerebbe" (i would love, you would love, he would love) and so ultimately when i write in english i feel like i'm always so redundant and my sentences always lack that umph!

[argentkosmos]

hate to blow my own horn but i think im cooking right now

[argentkosmos]

this thing im writing right now is an experiment because it's kinda out of my comfort zone and im like. a little terrified of it lmao

[argentkosmos]

The “oh I could definitely write this fanfic in under 5000 words and it really wouldn’t take me that long” voice in your head is actually the devil speaking

[argentkosmos]

me? writing smut again? it's more likely than you think!!!!
