#even shit like character ai

[puhpandas]

seeing ao3 works tagged as AI generated or "i asked whatever to write this for me because i cant write" sucks so unbelievably bad. like yes the fanfiction archive definitely needs something written by a robot. very valuable and needs to be saved for safe keeping next to all the fics written with love by real people.

you literally CAN write. everyone can write. you can pick up your phone and google docs or your notes app and do it right now, you just dont want to. you CAN write what you want to see yourself. its better to view fandom/fanworks as ART instead of CONTENT. you can put your hyperfixation aside to not feed into AI. i promise you dont have to be that desperate.

theres literally no repercussions to writing when you dont have the 'writer' title. you dont need any title to do things. you can write and not be a writer. you need to understand the importance of art instead of complaining about unfinished ao3 fics on tiktok and forgetting the reason you like that unfinished fic so much is because a human person put love and passion into it.

obviously if youre posting AI fics on ao3 youre secretly interested in writing. just do it. you CAN be a writer, you just dont want to put effort into it. i promise effort does not equal stress. working hard or putting effort into a story is always more rewarding than satisfying your hyperfixation for 5 minutes by asking an AI to make something shitty by frankenstiening together real artists writing

im just saying you SHOULD care about how harmful AI is

also, another thing, nobody should ever be embarrased or ashamed of being a beginner of something and making something 'bad'. literally EVERYONE ever who is an artist sucked at the beginning. improving is apart of the joy of creation. ive noticed and im sure its no secret that tiktok specifically is hell on earth for every art form and barely anyone on that app 1. respects it and 2. has a filter. theyll say awful shit but every artist knows that those people shouldnt be listened to. any beginner should too. please dont be discouraged

Seeing people constantly put HAL 9000, GLaDOS and AM in the same character group or drawing them together or next to each other in any context is so funny to me because... bro, do you really know these characters, no seriously do you really, do you realize how utterly innocent those first two are compared to the sheer embodiment of pain and petty hatred that is AM?

Of the two at least GLaDOS does happen to have a cruel and sadistic sense of humor, and even then I don't believe for a second she and AM would vibe with each other at all, at least not for long. As for Hal... Do not put my man in the same category as that psycho, he didn't do shit! Free him!

naw whos the crusty ass bitch who thinks its cute to take my ocs cause what is this

[meowsticmarvels]

still makes me crazy months after playing about aitsf's insane familial relationships. date who took mizuki in and raised her as his own where renju and shoko couldn't. mizuki who still loves shoko and renju dearly, but they can't provide what she needs. but she's able to find that parental love in date. hitomi who raises manaka's daughter like her own, and who means so so much to her she can't bear the thought of losing her. she'll go to great lengths to stop that from happening. mayumi who just wants the best for her son no matter how hard it is. ota who loves his mom so so much but doesn't really realize how much effort she puts in for him until her dementia's getting worse. saito who lacked the proper support system and any love or care from so sejima at all. ryuki who still can't get over his twin brother's death, like he lost his other half. komeji who's falling on hard times as a comedian but really just wants the best for his family and allows himself to get into dangerous situations for shoma's sake. shoma who, really deep down loves his dad, despite everything, but can't express that until it's too late in the true ending. bibi who cares so much about mizuki and is deeply protective of her even when mizuki's too young to really know it. kizuna who only really knew bibi for a few years as her foster sister but that time meant so much to her. shizue who took bibi in and just kinda lets her do her own thing, once she's grown. jin who was born out of an affair, and adopted by a different family, but his birth parents still going to great extremes to get rid of the tumors on his body. uru who was abandoned and kidnapped and used as a glorified organ donor, imprisoned and secluded away from the outside world, but longed for maternal love from tokiko, and resented jin for receiving the love he didn't get. tokiko who taught uru the teachings of naix out of pity. amame who's been forced to choose, forced to deal with the terrible hand she's dealt, wishing that if things had gone differently maybe her father would still be alive.

Details that make me FERAL

[einsatzzz]

Hello ❤️ I have some meta asks for your ocs

Kana: What controversies/drama would your character incite in fandom?

And (yes she gets two because I am biased and looking for crumbs)

What is the quote between your character and their love interest/whoever they might be shipped with that their fans would latch onto?

Kurumi: What would be the ‘incorrect but wildly popular’ interpretation of your character in fandom?

Yui: If your character had a breakout show/film/comic, what would the plot be? Who would be in their supporting cast?

- 🍎

Hello 🍎Anon 🫶✨👀 Thank you for sending this over and enabling me to yap more about my blorbos 🥰🥰🥰 I only know what to talk about when I draw them, but for pure text posts I often blank out on what to say, so I love asks! I will try my best to give you Kana crumbs too!

🍎Kana: What controversies/drama would your character incite in fandom?

If Kana were a canon character, Kana and controversies/drama are like blood brothers, like soulmates. They are a set package. It wasn't there at the start or perhaps there will be initial discourse about her gender. But fandom will find out eventually that they have bigger fish to fry. As more and more layers of her character gets revealed, the more fandom discourse there is. She is certainly not a character for people who view things in a black or white manner or those with low reading comprehension 😭🤣😭🤣 *looks at those gear grindingly loud mfs on twi//ter*

On the surface, she would prob be reduced to either a some kind of siscon (memes included) or straight-up a cruel/heartless character with ulterior motives ("maybe her love for Kurumi is just a facade? and she has ulterior motives?"). If you peel off the first few layers, you will see that she really does genuinely love Kurumi and her family, for better or for worse. If you peel off more layer, you will see an asshole. If you peel even more layers, you will see an even bigger asshole banned from hell.

Also do you know that one meme where they keep putting Oi\\kawa (from Hai\\kyuu, a VOLLEYBALL series) in a line up of actual villains/war criminals?

Kana would be there, except she kinda deserves to be there. People who don't get the joke would complain about why Oi//kawa keeps getting included in these fuckass lists that includes Kana and other messed up characters lmao (truthfully i didn't get it at first when i saw it and was lowkey pissed since im an oi//kawa oshi lmaooo now it's just funny every time i see it. still crazy to see him lined up with characters like d//io or aiz//en or gri//ffith like damn wwwwww)

Did you know? My favorite character from Monster is Joh//ann Lieb//ert hahahaha nothing important, just wanna say it haha,,,hahaha,,,,, pls ignore if you don't know Monster sdkjfsdhvfsd

🍎Kana: What is the quote between your character and their love interest/whoever they might be shipped with that their fans would latch onto?

The least spoilery thing I can come up with on the spot on is Hibari telling her "You're so stupid (affectionate & relieved)" after she does (and says) something objectively very stupid that could even give YuiRumi&family a heart attack & a stroke simultaneously.

Short, simple, effective. ME, personally, I will lose my mind and latch onto it even on my deathbed.

If you want something that could potentially come from a Kana POV, I do have a quote like this saved:

🎀Kurumi: What would be the ‘incorrect but wildly popular’ interpretation of your character in fandom?

For Kurumi, I think modern fandom would focus too much on her gender? There would be a divide in the fandom based on how they interpret the "Gender: ?" in her profile lmao We can see a lot of people insisting that she's non-binary. That's fine and all, everyone is free to interpret characters as they like (except if the creator has reiterated clear rules and boundaries for it). The problem is that we can also see people say that you can't refer to her as anything else but non-binary sjdgbhjsdfvhjsbfd

🤖Yui: If your character had a breakout show/film/comic, what would the plot be? Who would be in their supporting cast?

My understanding of this question is that it's asking for a Yui spin-off where he's the MC! It would be in a light novel format under the romantic comedy genre (with some sci-fi, perhaps? because he loves making robots hahaha inb4 it becomes a mecha story). The story's main couple would be him and Hiyori, because that's what Yui would've wanted. He is delusional and down bad.

In terms of shipping, we actually have three main ships we've committed to. It's just that I often end up posting about the two CanonxOC pairs more sjkdfjskdf but the third one is an OCxOC pair between Yui and Hiyori (YuiHiyo). Sowwwwyyy Yui! uwu Hiyorin is holding me at syringe-point and telling me to shut the fuck up about it.

god this is so. so upsetting to me

I'll never understand how people are still using character ai type sites. It's very often people who are otherwise all "ai art sucks because it's stealing art!!" too without realizing that SO DOES EVERY GENERATIVE AI. ALL LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS ARE STEALING COUNTLESS AMOUNTS OF WRITTEN WORK. this includes character ai. Just because We'll This One's Just Silly And Fun doesn't mean it's not doing the same thing.

"But you have to give it character dialogue and talk to it to train it!" Do you honest to god think that's the only data those sites use. Yknow how chatgpt scrapes a good chunk of the entire internet's worth of data and is still dumb as fuck? Yeah. That shits the bare minimum to even get it to be able to hold a conversation.

What you give it by feeding it dialogue and interacting with it gives it an idea of how it should talk, but without scraping tons and tons of stolen writing it wouldn't be able to really hold a conversation.

Not to mention just how bad all generative ai is for the environment. Just because it's cute and quirky doesn't change that.

"Just let people have their fun" a lot of you wouldnt say that to people making ai art or using chatgpt because for the exact shit I stated above. But because this is fun and nerdy and is a little less open about how much it's stealing you're ok with it.

If you (rightfully) didn't like it when this site decided to announce that it was selling blog data to midjourney but youre totally ok with character ai, you're a hypocrite.

Go read a fanfic or roleplay with a real person. Go support a real human's hard work, not a website likely scraping your fellow fandom-goers writing from ao3 just so you can sext the Plagiarism Machine.

okay i just marathoned the entirety of ATLA live action & i might do an actual review of it explaining my thoughts more in depth, but the TLDR version basically boils down to this:

if you want to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender, just go watch the 2005 cartoon
