Roast Your OCs Tag!

Thanks for the tag, @urnumber1star (here)!

Rules: boil your OC down to their barest, most cliche, stereotypical essentials, and phrase it like a headline

Let's go with some of the cast of Grim City Chronicles, my Victorian/Edwardian historical fantasy WIP!

GRIM CITY CHRONICLES

Willem - Anxious seventeen-year-old indentured servant with severe self-esteem issues and a heart of gold, got involved with an insane sorcerer and now doesn't know what to do about the ✨consequences✨

Jesse - Sprightly little boy way too good for this world and who radiates Oliver Twist vibes in the best way

Vince - BREAKING NEWS: Angry local Victorian Era prostitute pretends he doesn't care about anyone other than himself and his cousin. But cares IMMENSELY

Peggy - Seemingly bubbly adorable girl whom everyone thinks is a historical version of a manic pixie girl but is actually much more than that. Also, she loves macabre, gothic things and has a bug collection.

Ilya - Chaotic con-man who also happens to be a musician - loves a good measure of troublemaking chaos and makes it everyone else's problem

Dasha - Hyperactive teenager obsessed with explosives and inventing new machines with clockwork. Will blow something up if too bored.

Gemma - American thief who moved to London and just wanted to have one normal day but ended up caught up in a whole conspiracy with a bunch of other young weirdos instead.

Character Voice Tag

Very belated thanks for the tag, @kaylinalexanderbooks! I have a habit of collecting a million of these before doing them all in one go, so I'm pretty sure most people have already forgotten about this one, lol. Regardless, here it is!

My Prompt: “I don't think that's a bird or a plane.”

Luna: "Huh. Y'know what? I don't- I don't think that's a bird OR a plane..." Iris: "That's... not a bird. Not a plane, either..." Claire: "No, no, it's... fuck. Actually, what IS that?...Shit. I've no idea what the hell that is." Felix: "Um... I don't think that's a bird. A plane?? What's a plane? Do they move like that?" Meg: "Nah, that's not it... is that a harpy? That'd be a damn big harpy. A small dragon...? Shit, man. I dunno." Aven: "I've no earthly idea what that is, but that ain't a bird OR a plane."

Short but sweet! Thanks again!

Your Prompt: "You know what? Fuck you."

friendly reminder that if you just type shit into a box and use what the computer spit out, you're not "creating" anything <3 You're an AI customer, not an artist, not a writer, not a creator. A customer, who didn't even have the dignity to hire a real person for the product, so you're making a random generator vomit out a ball of words or a collection of pixels so you can call it "your art" for the low low price of your integrity.

I took a creative writing class my freshman year and the amount of students who used AI for their work was astounding. and I honestly don’t get it. why sign up to be in a CREATIVE WRITING class if you need to rely on AI to write for you. it’s stupid.

people like the writer aesthetic but dont want to put work into actually improving their writing. joining a creative writing class? oh! that’s a perfect way to improve! that’s why I joined the class. oh? you joined because you wanted something to brag about to your friends and family? that’s STUPID. people are STUPID.

and who knows, maybe one day these people might become actual “writers”. maybe they’ll spend enough time on chatGPT to get something that even comes close to resembling the blood sweat and tears that other authors—real authors put into their writing. maybe they’ll become famous for it. become a staple in history. meanwhile all the writers who actually cared about writing are left behind without a pot to piss in.

“oh this is so good!” it’s actually miles and miles of code. it’s laziness wrapped in pretty words topped with the pen name of a STUPID person.
