Deserts Rambles - Tumblr Posts

My professor brought up Sans' sprite sheets in class and asked if anyone knew what game it was from and who the character was and I sat at my fucking desk thinking about this blog sweating my balls off like - 'Yeah.... Yeah, I guess I know that character.'

Ps his name is now 'San' from 'Megalovania' - actual answers! My classmate was so close XD

i am already EATING your ramattra fic up i already left an ao3 comment (i think??) but i love how you write him so much 😭 i dont want to spam so I'll leave it there but gosh i am so excited for it 🤚😩

Ah yes I replied to your comment on AO3 thank you so so much! I am literally giddy everytime I get interactions <3

I shall try not to take ages on the next chapter, but I will warn that I'm still settling back into writing XC

LOOK AT HIM I DIDNT KNOW THESE EXISTED

GUYS THE APRIL FOOLS ULT VOICE LINES ON RAMATTRA ARE SO GOOD AHAHA

He's got one where he just goes on a giant rant about suffering in his stupid posh way oml

This goes for all Ai art (And literature is an art!)

Art that doesn't draw from lived experience, emotions and a persons personality is just a creation made to fill a quota to me. Even if I made some silly little fanart of the cat slime in Slime rancher, I'd be doing it because I've played the game, I like gaming, I own a cat and have a preference towards them ever since. You tell an Ai to do it, it'll just confine to what you told it you wanted.

Same with writing: Could be absolutely anything- but a person has put a lot of time and effort into that piece for a reason, and an Ai has not.

PS: Writing tips would be a gift from the heavens and I'd eat and chew on that post for at least a month

Seeing AI writing start to grow more widespread is incredibly disheartening to me. I’ve been writing for years and years, and - trust me, I know that writing is difficult. Writer’s block is such a bitch to deal with. Sometimes you get stuck on plot and can’t figure out where to go, and it just seems impossible. I understand. However, I cannot emphasize enough that a heartless, computer-generated vomit of words cannot replace real writing.

Passion goes into writing - passion that you pour into plot, into word choice, into specific characterizations. Into scenes that change as you write them because you get a new idea, or an idea bounced off a friend. Into the flow of the sentences, and the descriptions that you come up with.

Simply put, AI has never smelled petrichor after rain, has never seen the ruby-orange skies of a sunset, has never felt the breeze against bare skin. It cannot replace human experience. It cannot replace the five senses, or the unique writing style each person has, or the knowledge of how a specific character might act. Every word I’ve written has come from me, and I remember those scenes and how to draw back to them for future reference.

Not only that, but using AI robs you of skill development. I’ve never taken a writing class. Everything I’ve learned, I’ve learned through plain old experience. I’m someone who loves editing other people’s fics, who loves digging through the nitty gritty errors to find the true potential of the writing, and it’s really just been making me think…

I know some authors have stopped writing altogether because of this technology, and while I understand and respect their decisions, I refuse to let the mere existence of such a thing stop me from writing or my readers from accessing my stories. That being said, if you put my writing into AI, I will beat you to death with my bare fists.

But on a more serious note, what I’d really love to do is a post with writing tips, or some kind of writing workshop that goes into the things I’ve learned. I see so many beginner writers disheartened over their work because of simple mistakes, easily fixable mistakes that, when corrected, could really bring out the potential of their work.

Right now, I want to encourage the act of writing as much as I possibly can. So, that’s my plan. If you’ve gotten to the end of this ramble, thank you for sticking along! And, I want to emphasize: if anyone ever wants advice on writing, I am more than willing to help with anything! I’ve literally recorded videos for my friends about various grammar and punctuation, I’d love to assist!

Anyway. That’s my thought for the day. Keep an eye out for writings tips from me!

What do you think he asks her? I say 'Was it worth it?', and that makes me sad :(

Man what I would do to give this omnic a purple hug T_T
