So I was thinking: Why does Will rescue and keep so many dogs?

And I’ve got a few thoughts.

First of all I think this tendency relates to Will’s desire for family and connection. It was established in the show Will is afraid of creating a biological family because he is afraid of passing on the traits he fears most. Having dogs be his only family absolves him of that biological responsibility.

I also think the specific act of specifically rescuing dogs is almost an apology. I think Will recognises that his thoughts and fantasies of violence are not normal, he views them as evil, he is ashamed of those thoughts. So rescuing and taking care of dogs is a sort of penance. It is him doing something good to atone for the evil within him.

Another reason I think he chose to care for dogs specifically was that he identified with them heavily. The dogs were strays abandoned by everyone, all alone and lonely - and so was Will. Also I’m sure Will wasn’t ignorant to his true nature but simply chose to repress it. He knew he was a beast and felt he belonged among beasts.

On a similar note I think the idea that even wild and dangerous beasts such as wolves could be domesticated to kind and loving pets comforted him. Because if those violent beasts could be domesticated and made kind and normal then maybe, just maybe, he could be too. I think it gave him hope that he himself could beat his nature. Become a normal and placid dog instead of the feral wolf he was.

yes this is very important — even if you for whatever reason think you’re above plagiarism, you should care about this issue for its horrible environmental impact. GOOGLE’S GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS ROSE BY 50% IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS DUE TO AI USE. YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

“just let people enjoy things” NOPE not here because there are millions of people on the internet who write or create art or engage in fandoms you’re interested in. you can write a scenario yourself idgaf if you think you’re a bad writer/artist, everyone thinks they’re bad at it

Why is c.ai bad? Like genuine question

One of the main reasons you will see people giving as to why c.ai is bad is that much like all "generative" ai it's basically a copy/paste machine. The algorithm that runs c.ai is made by scraping the writing of millions of human authors in order to train the machine on how sentences and "romance" should be structured in order to appeal to the people using it. This is, by and large, just straight up plagiarism and authors like @/ceilidho end up having their content stolen by c.ai users in order to farm more bots.

If you don't care about the plagiarism aspect of c.ai bots then you should care about the environmental aspect of them. ChatGPT alone uses about 2.9 Wh of electricity just to run a single query, and the water used to cool the servers (again for just one question) is equal to about 3 16 oz bottles of water. Google reported their greenhouse gas emissions rose 50% in 5 years just due to ai use. 1 query can power a lightbulb for about 20 seconds, and every question is routed through a data center which uses even more electricity to answer the question. So you sending a chat to c.ai uses a massive amount of electricity, and for the bot to respond takes even more.

Not to mention data centers have to be built, which consumes a lot of resources and energy, and releases a lot of greenhouse gases. Then they have to be powered, which consumes more energy and more water, and releases even more greenhouse gases.

If 1 in 10 working US Americans asked 1 question every week for a year (52 x 17 million) that would use the same amount of energy that it would take to power EVERY HOUSEHOLD IN WASHINGTON DC (671,803) for 20 days. NPR reported on this as an "energy emergency" this is an unprecedented and explosive amount of energy being used very suddenly, very often, and by a lot of people.

Ok you don't care about that either, then let me appeal to you the person who uses c.ai. Maybe you love your favorite author's work and you really want to rp with one of their characters. Is the bot's ability to write that character really as good as the author's? Is it as satisfying? Or are you just caught up in the short-term dopamine rush of the rp?

Because I tried c.ai when it was first getting popular and let me tell you, it was nowhere near as good as the human role plays I was used to. There was no riffing, no plotting out where we wanted the rp to go, no standard reply length, I had to retry replies multiple times to get something even remotely close to something I could work with to respond to. There were filters, I couldn't use certain words or phrases. The bot couldn't remember anything past a few replies. It was BAD. The shot of dopamine I got after the first reply was gone by the time I was on the third one.

Now maybe I was just spoiled by good human rp partners, but I kept seeing people on tiktok complaining about the same problems. "How to break the c.ai filter" was a major issue. People wanted the experience of role playing or writing a fic, but they didn't want to put the effort into actually doing either of those things.

"Just let people enjoy things!" I hear you cry.

You go on c.ai because you're lonely, or bored, or because you think that finding a human to rp with is too hard or they won't like your scenario/kink/whatever. You are actively contributing to the expulsion of artists from fandom spaces and the destruction of the planet in equal measure. If all you care about is short term gratification, then go on the r/IWishIWasHer subreddit and read the rps threads there. If you actually want to roleplay with someone there are a million discord servers that do that. Hell, there are communities on tumblr that you could join and ask about roleplaying!

Relying on instant gratification will numb you to all the joys that creep towards you. If the only thing you can see is the object in front of you, then you're never going to reach for something better further away.

Not to mention none of your chats on c.ai are actually private, the server is scraping all your responses to have the ai send to other people. So if you're telling the bot some real smutty/embarrassing things that you wouldn't want anyone else to see, congrats on everyone else getting a piece of it.

HELLO YES HI HOW ARE YOU- lmao.

Ok I saw your scrumptious art of doey and I sniffed another artist who enjoys the jiggly man like me >:} I don’t know you but I’m gonna dump my own little art idea for him here because yes.

I had an alternative idea of, yk when doey starts freaking out right before he turns into mutated lizard guy? The part where he shifts through different personalities before the ceiling comes crashing down? Ok well since I hated the fact we had to kill the poor gummy ball, I had an alternative idea of where instead of the player just watching, what if the game had made us give him a hug instead- ;-;…like if a hug could have calmed him down from turning into a monster and it kinda disarms the third kid in him becoming angry so he just starts melting a little bit into some soppy crying teary dough- which would, hence, save him and it could make a cute alternative idea if he survived, he could stay with us through the end and possibly through chapter five.

also I love those drawings of doey hugs, I wanna eat it.

love, mysterious flamingo anon 🦩

GAH HELLO- ty for callin it scrumptious 🥲🥲🥲 I really like that idea too! it would be neat to have him alive. I feel he wouldn't talk much for the rest of chapter 4 out of shame or he felt uncomfortable maybe.

Hope this is good enough :,)
