hey it’s ok if you lost your ai virginity back when you were uneducated. a lot of posts go like “reblog if you have never ever used generative ai and never ever will!!!” but it’s ok if you have used gen ai before and it’s even ok if you used to think it was cool, back before you understood what it really was and how it worked, either because no one had taught you about it and you discovered it on your own or because the only education you had received about it was from the tech bros. you’re not a burger with a bite out of it for having used ai. ok

It is 100 percent okay to stop using it today and join the "boo AI" club.

This isn't a purity thing. This is a "everyone stand with us against destroying the environment and giving asthma to poor people" thing.

Did you know that when one community says no to an AI data center, they specifically search out communities with fewer resources? Communities that can't defend themselves? And the pollution 100 percent affects their health and wellbeing, in addition to burning through our already scarce drinking water.

You can stop using character.ai today. You can say "I listened to the facts and stopped." And another thing: don't you think it's a bit more impactful to have used it, stopped, and then you're in a position to say how little it helped? How doing things for yourself improved your life?

yeahwrite

also posts in the spirit of "if you've used AI even ONCE your soul is tainted!!!!" can't be great to those with OCD

A digital black and white fan comic for The scum villain's self-saving system. Two white silhouettes are sitting on their knees, separated by the borders of their frames. Behind them is only black, making them look like cutouts in their own frames. The silhouette on the right with their hair down is banging on the border, while the silhouette on the left is holding their open palms to the same border. The right: Really, don't forget about me, okay? Otherwise, how will you come back and save me?

The frames move to the sides like the gates, with the left figure leaving while the right figure sits with their back to the border, hunched. Through these gates a figure of a grown man is walking, gracious and painted in dull blues. He is walking towards a house. The figure: ...Shen-shidi,

The figure is revealed to be Yue Qingyuan. He is sat in front of Shen Qingqiu, cradling a cup of tea in his hands with a sad expression. Shen Qingqiu in front of him is holding a fan with roots - or naked branches - painted on it in the same dull blues that paint Yue Qingyuan. Yue Qingyuan: Suppose, for a moment, that there was someone you cared about deeply. And you failed them... The cup in Yue Qingyuan's hands bears the same tree root design. The page grows darker as the talk progresses.

Three frames show the progression of a change. The first has Shen Qingqiu with a frown, his face partially hidden by Yue Qingyuan's dialogue bubble. The background is dark and twisted. Yue Qingyuan: And they possessed towards you a... A deep resentment for this failure. A warranted failure. Second frame starts to lighten up, the face of Shen Qingqiu hidden by the same fan. Yue Qingyuan: But you cared about them still. Third frame is almost completely light, and Shen Qingqiu is smiling wide, the fan folded in his hands, colored barely visible green. Yue Qingyuan: And then they changed, Shen Qingqiu is at the front, smiling at a smaller figure next to him, most likely Luo Binghe, with the same fan in hands, with now branches with few tiny green leaves. Both of their faces are partially hidden by Yue Qingyuan's dialogue bubbles, while his own face is too far away. He is watching them both leave. Yue Qingyuan: And they looked towards life, towards all the world, with a sort of...

A white silhouettes page again, now a closer shot. The frames are shifted to the right with a lot of empty space left behind the left figure. The right figure almost fully beyond the edge of the page. Both are leaning towards the border separating them, both with a single black tear drawn on their faces. Figure on the right: Seriously, don't... Don't forget about me!

Back to the present time, to the Yue Qingyuan's monologue. He is sitting at the table, putting the cup down with a tormented expression. The person in front of him is fully hidden. A black frame of a right white silhouette is overlaid over Shen Qingqiu, watching Yue Qingyuan. Yue Qingyuan: They were... different.

ALT

The middle of the page is occupied by a darker frame of Yue Qingyuan hugging Shen Qingqiu from the back with his head on Shen Qingqiu's shoulder, gentle and calm. Meanwhile Shen Qingqiu is violent and furious, seemingly dragging Luo Binghe by his hair. That frame is fully colored into dark dull blues. That frame is hiding the present time's Yue Qingyuan and Shen Qingqiu's heads while they talk, their long hair falling to the sides, transforming into footprints going in different directions. Shen Qingqiu: It's not strange to desire the known over the new. You do not have to forget who they once were, to care for who they are now.

A very light page from point of view of Yue Qingyuan, showing Shen Qingqiu in front of him, no eyes visible, just a smile. Shen Qingqiu: If i may inquire, shixiong, who exactly might you be speaking of?

Once again a white silhouette page of Shen Qingqiu nearing his death, limbless and chained. He is leaning his head on the border of his frame, once again faced with an empty space where someone else's frame was before. Above his neck hangs Yue Qingyuan's broken sword. Shen Qingqiu: I wish you had never remembered me at all.

A mirror image of Yue Qingyuan from point of view of Shen Qingqiu. He looks startled by the question. In front of him a cup of tea sits untouched.

A white silhouette frame of young Yue Qingyuan banging on the border of his frame with a tear on his face. There is empty space to the right of his frame. Yue Qingyuan: I promise i won't forget!

A mirror page of young Shen Qingqiu looking at him from his own shifted frame. He is silent in response. There is the same empty space to the left of his frame.

Again Yue Qingyuan at the table, but now he simply lowers his head with a smile, a shadow falling on his face. Yue Qingyuan: It is nobody that you would know.

And he asked: "Forget what?"

a commission of a scene from this fic ! ^^

How would you most like to interact with your blorbo?

Relationship (family member)

Relationship (platonic)

Relationship (sexual)

Relationship (romantic)

I want to be them/wish to self-insert as them/kin them

I want to study them (like I'm a mad scientist)

I want to study them (like they are a bug)

I want to study them (like I'm watching an animal in a zoo)

I want to study them (put them in a blender)

I want to study them (like torture them to see what color they bleed)

I want to study them (as their therapist)

other (tell me in the tags. I'm begging you. I want to know.)

See Results

this was inspired by another poll I saw a while ago that focused on having relationships with blorbo; I looked through the comments and grabbed some of the popular answers.

Zine spread featuring a waving man drawn in colored pencil, with the words "I'm a trans man. I used to feel insecure in my masculinity, until I went to see a Phish concert in 2023."

Zine spread reading, "As I sat in the hallway during intermission, a lady walked up to me, uncapped her water bottle, and gave me a puzzled look." It shows the main character sitting on the ground, with the lady holding out her water bottle to him. A caption reading "Hippies on LSD" points to the lady and some figures in the background.

A zine spread in colored pencil and collage. It features the lady's face and reads, "She hesitated, then exclaimed, "Oh! You're not a drinking fountain!" then trotted off. At that moment, it clicked:"

A colored pencil and collage water fountain, with eyes around the base and a blue wave coming from the spout. The wave contains the words, "I cannot control the way other people perceive me."

A zine spread featuring a water fountain spout with angel wings. The pages read, "I could be a sinner, and someone might think I'm a saint. I could be a man, and someone might think I'm a woman. I could be a human, and someone would think I'm a drinking fountain."

Zine spread reading, "The next night, I wore the skirt I had been too insecure to wear before. It felt great. I knew I was a man, and that was good enough for me." The opposite page shows the main character dancing in a skirt, with a caption reading "hippie on LSD" pointing to him.

Drinking Fountain, mixed media zine, 2025

2026 Word Tracking Spreadsheet

For those who have used it before, the 2026 Word Tracking Spreadsheet is now available!

For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, the annual word tracking spreadsheet is a robust Excel sheet (it can be used in Google Sheets or other programs that are able to read .xlsx files) which allows you to track your wordcount goals and actual achieved wordcount across several projects. There are graphs, time tracking, and many little bells and whistles.

This is a spreadsheet I created for myself back in 2012 and I’ve been changing it bit by bit as I discover new things I want to track, or ways to motivate myself. I can’t remember exactly when I started sharing it publicly, but I’m happy to share the blank spreadsheet each year.

Both the spreadsheet and an instruction document are available via Google Drive:

This year we are not going into or out of a leap year, so there should be no bugs. I also happened to discover a bug in the annual stats rollup page that slipped past everything last year, and fixed that. Yay for stomping bugs! Sorry it slipped through before...

Sharing this spreadsheet continues to be a bit bittersweet for me, as this was another year where I struggled to write new words, whether they were fic, original, or blogs. I had my ups and downs, and at times, seemed to disappear completely. However, I did do a lot of editing, and am excited to be incredibly close to being done with that major push soon.

Again, there are no changes other than the dates being updated to 2026, and the additional columns for 2026 added to stats, and the dynamic 2025 columns being moved to static information. All charts should be updated correctly.

I do want to add tracking for project rollups (what kind of work was done), better tracking for time, and figure out a way to get a better view of the time I do spend on not just writing, but writing related tasks. However, I haven't managed to figure out how to chart it, so those aren't yet in the publicly shared sheet. Someday, I hope.

Please feel free to signal boost this post and share the file. If you make changes to the file and share it, please credit mine as the inspiration.
