#i'm a garbage human

[vamporilla]

I'm just getting into Mouthwashing, and I have a take that I haven't seen anyone make yet.

I don't think Jimmy deserves to die. Don't get me wrong, I loathe that pathetic little prick as much as the next person and I wouldn't mind seeing him getting beaten up (which, thankfully, there is no shortage of on this site), but he doesn't deserve to die.

Death's too good for him.

He's constantly refusing to accept responsibility for his actions throughout the entire game, up until the very end. Him killing himself is his ultimate cowardly act, his ultimate refusal of being held accountable for any of the harm he caused the other four, especially Anya.

Jimmy doesn't deserve to just die like that. He shouldn't get to shirk responsibility and then get an easy out without facing any real consequences.

Jimmy deserves to be the sole survivor, not Curly. He deserves to make it back to Earth somehow and be held accountable for what he did. Remember when Daisuke made that comment about the crew possibly ending up on the news? Yeah, Jimmy deserves his wrongdoings to be publicized. He deserves to be tried and imprisoned, for his already shitty reputation to plunge even deeper into the gutter. He deserves to realize the full weight of his actions. He deserves to live with that guilt. He deserves to reckon with the fact that, no, he couldn't fix it. He couldn't fix anything.

He'd finally be forced to truly take responsibility for his actions. And that? That would be the greatest form of retribution he could possibly face.

Sorry if this came across as heated or sadistic, I just watched Jacksepticeye's let's play and I'm very emotional right now. Scrolling through Mouthwashing stuff is helping me cope a bit, but I just had to get this off my chest.

I'm not in eclipse path of totality, but my area of Texas is going to get around 99.2% coverage (or so staff at our state park say...)

It's cloudy as all hell, but it did make for a pretty cool picture.

The worst part about reading in a genre where you have low expectations (in this case, Christian historical fiction) is that when a book impresses you, you have no idea if it's actually good or if you're just overly impressed because it was a fraction of a degree better than the usual garbage.

chronically online malding but sometimes a post will go around where i'm like ok i am also very unwelcome in most dead dove spaces. lmao

Over the last two years, I have spent hours upon hours sitting at my computer and writing, expanding, and sharing my fanfic ideas. I sit with an idea, I love the idea, and then I write the idea. I structure it, I put my blood, sweat, and tears into it, and I then post it.

I don't do this hobby for anybody but myself. This is all self-indulgent, every last bit of it. I join challenges because I enjoy a writing challenge. I join holiday exchange things because I want to gift a person some art or writing about one of their favorite pairings or some of their favorite characters.

At no point have I used AI. I refuse to use generative AI for anything. I think it's cheap and shitty and pointless.

If you're using generative AI for fandom purposes, you're lame and a loser. You choose to love something made by humans—something that took hours upon hours, months, and years—and force it down an AI's gullet, watch it choke on words, and then mama bird regurgitate it into your fucking hands. And then what?

You post it? You post it with a generative AI tag? You post it with excitement? You share something that desecrates not only the source material you based it on, but the characters you apparently love?

Give me a fucking break.

If you love characters or a pairing, you create for them. You create an AU, you revive them, you make them hold each other, you spin them around in your head at all angles until you could describe them to a T. If you love a source material, you put your heart and soul to show how much you want to praise it, how much you want to love it, how much it means to you.

Generative AI has no place in fandom. Not at all.

Also, you can't make a statement in a fanfic about how you hate generative AI, how cheap and stupid it is, and then turn around to generate AI for a character's dialogue—even if they're a robot that speaks with generative AI. What you do instead is view what other people have posted about AI, you hobble together what could be shown off as something similar to how a generative AI program may speak, and you write the dialogue your-fucking-self.

Imagine picking up a hobby full of creativity and fun and going, "Wow, I really don't have the time for this," and instead of commissioning somebody or sending a fic idea to somebody, you turn around and shit on the hobby by generating it. Instead of loving your fandom friends, instead of loving the showrunners and the authors and the directors and the actors, you turn around and let man-made horrors amalgamate the semblance of love in the shape of smears and six-toed feet and stairs that wrap and curve and disappear into utter nonsense.

You're a fool and a phony and a complete fucking coward for not even trying to be creative on your own.

You do it bad. You do it pathetic. You do it shitty. And then you learn and you read and you get better.

It may have taken me two years to get to where I'm at, and I may have posted some terribly written bullshit, but at least I fucking did it. At least I took the first step towards being better, and that was trying. I tried and I'm better for it.

AI is horseshit and has no place here. Go fuck yourself.

honestly had no idea mspec lesbian exclusionism is still a thing on tumblr. maybe bc a bunch of its believers have blocked me? i still think there's more acceptance for it here than on twitter but damn. must be quite a sad existence to hold onto pointless hatred most people moved on from years ago

[firstworldbank]

billiam will scurry up the walls to chew on light fixtures sometimes. it freaks people out. she’s also quite stealthy. houston SHOULD like them but he doesn’t….

what if hous has an arc where he warms up to strange child

she's straight up moving like an invasive species-- quick and silent. and oftentimes in places he should not be. billiam please get down from there... buddy please get off the chandELIERRR

i have hope in my heart that houston could learn to tolerate his weird niecephew under the right circumstances. like tht'd be unironically cute. but it's definitely a real slow process
