"U can't be naked & glowing in my ER" 🤣

Every time i see a Cliff clip I think about how he wasn't cast as the main character cuz he "looked like he'd fucked everyone" XD

Skill issue tbh

3rd person has never prevented me from inserting myself. Either as the main character or just an extra comic relief.

I've been the main character, I've been the omnipotent observer, I've been someone gathering gossip about the proceedings.

& diversity has never stopped me

I look forward to your novel told entirely in 2nd person plural

The medium string was a string of pearls, larger than pearls on a necklace, shinning in the light of the playroom.

"If you'll permit me to get a little artistic," Pete explained, putting down the longer strings. "I have a fun idea."

Pete held the three strings up for them all to see and admire. The longest and shortest strings where both designed like a string of gold coins, just like the 'pieces of eight' and 'dubloons' found in old pirate movies.

"I bought you some treasure." Pete announced, taking three strings of sex beads of different lengths. The crowd cheered as they realised what Pete had planned out and Izzy had to admit that he liked it when there was a bit of a theme in an event, event though he was usually terrible at improv.

Pete blushed a little and smiled shyly, placing the box, which Izzy could admit looked a little like a pirate's chest, beside his head. When he opened it, Izzy could see glints of gold out of the corner of his eye.

"Can't believe I haven't been sketching the whole time, letting all these amazing moments go to waste." He mumbled to himself.

"Well?" Izzy prompted, "Let's see the vision."

Izzy was a little spaced out but still could manage to raise an eyebrow at him.

"Trust the vision, babe." Lucius told him, giving Pete a kiss on the cheek as he moved a chair over to sit near them, opening his sketchbook with an excited expression on his face.

While the rest of them had dressed up like they were the stage acts at the biggest BDSM festival of the year, Pete was wearing what looked like a cheap pirate costume, carrying what Izzy recognised as the Nosferatu coffin popcorn bucket.

Black Pete shuffled up, looking a little nervous, with Lucius at his side.

I love that man's shenanigans

Like yeah, people are being weird about it & there's a lot to be said on how people see & treat those who make the "content" they consume (I think Lockdown & like social media have really hurt us)

But also trends happen all the time. This, too, will change & we'll be back to 3rd person.

Like trends are in everything
Like remember when game of thrones got popular & so many novels were called "a (blank) of (blank)"?

1st & 3rd person narration are like the only good narration so they're gonna "take turns" being the most popular narration for a time.

I have 2 thoughts
1 - JHC what is wrong w people who say stuff like that
But
2 - literacy has already gone through these phases before

When Arthur C Doyle & Agatha Christie were writing, it was the trend to write in 1st person cuz people wanted the narrator to be recalling the story to you

I can't write 1st person lol
But also literacy has gone through phases like this before, right?
Like when Arthur C Doyle & Agatha Christie were writing, it was common for the narrator to be someone who was recalling a story to you.
1st person & 3rd person just trade places every now & again

LLMs & GenAI are built on 2 ideas:
1 - predictive text basically fancy autocorrect/autocompletetion based on every piece of text or image ever created (even if they're not legally allowed to be fed into the blender)
2 - keep people talking no matter what. The user must keep talking for the revenue.

Simple: "I think therefore I am" means "I am aware of myself & that I am separate to others around me who not only metaphorically but physically see the world differently than I do"

I highly doubt Claude is even aware that they exist let alone that we exist.

LLMs are fancy predictive text models.

The toe scene was literally shot like a sex scene

They invented love

They're like Bugs Bunny & Daffy Duck: dating, married, divorced, separating, fucking, killing each other, falling in love, & falling out of love all at the same time every minute of every day 🤣

Me: I'm feeling so much better, I can just get back to it: writing, school work, slowly set up my new space, work through my "to watch" list, it'll all be fine

My mental health:

I mentioned it to my mum & she told me that when I was a kid she was worried there wouldn't be any white rhinos in the world by the time i grew up.
We can fix the issues we created
Hope is real, we just have to punch anyone who tries to stop us

Good things are possible
The world can be fixed if we try
Conservation is not only possible but important
Maybe it's because I'm looking for it but I feel like we've been having some good years for endangered animals having babies.
There was a baby white rhino recently

I need AI to burst so I can buy a steam deck

Oh my god

I will never stop thinking about the bowling footage of him just carrying Con in one arm & picking up a bowling ball with the other

I need to see how he bowled like that

Record the names of them all
Hold them accountable by any means necessary

* sobbing*

See I'm ok with like 13 episode seasons if it means filming isn't hell for the cast & crew

Like 13 episodes a year or 20-24 every 2 years
It works for everyone

Now half shows get canned with no warning & like 10 episodes in and the rest are stretched 5 times passed the actual end

Omg I should burn like Welcome to NightVale on to CDs
