Hey, folks, my work calendar's looking pretty empty, and I've got bills to pay and cats to feed. Open to MG, YA, and adult fiction projects of any length. Room for short beta reads, lengthy copyedits, and everything in between. Signal boosts appreciated. kristianwriting.com/editing-…

bringing back this iconic video where satoshi kon called out this shameless thief, who openly admitted it was a homage to him while fully aware he never gave him credit

I spent six hours yesterday writing a poem, and it was difficult, but by the end I was in tears because the experience was so creatively rewarding. No one will ever be moved to tears by inputting a prompt into a chatbot. Don’t surrender the most rewarding parts of living.
Writing is going to be a superpower soon. Not literary mastery, not being Shakespeare or Wordsworth or Lewis. I mean being able to express yourself spontaneously & coherently in paragraphs (or speech!) without an automated Wormtongue in your ear telling you what to think and say.

bad writing is how you get good at writing. the more you discourage people from writing what they want or scare them about “fanfic prose” the more you are depriving the world of art. One cannot have their cake and eat it too. Go open that doc if you want good fanfic. Come on.

it scares the hell out of me that books (or any piece of media really) can no longer leave things implicit or hinted at. if it's not said word for word, spoon-fed, people simply don't understand/accept it as facts from the story. & i blame that on chatgpt and sheep mentality.

Don Bluth, creator of The Land Before Time and All Dogs Go To Heaven, famously said that kids can handle anything in a film so long as you put a happy ending on it and he was and always has been completely right.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, your wedding vows (!), I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

"Living without ai is an impossible utopia" bruh we were living it like 5 years ago and we were doing just fine without that shit. You're letting your brain be cooked on slow heat. And your planet too. In exchange for wrong answers and shitty pics.

You see, we could have western ghibli, but producers are a bunch of cowards.
Daniel Chong has shared a 2D animation test for ‘HOPPERS’ created 6 years ago when the film was in early development. Animation by Lorenzo Fresta.

fascinating that at the time of gamergate, the argument against anita sarkesian was that depictions of violence against women/mysognistic tropes dont encourage real life misogyny. and now they just openly admit to fantasizing about beating women.
Crimson Desert allows you to punch women. I have never been more ready to preorder in my life. Finally a game that gives gamers what they want.

The “third space” for teens in the 2000s was the manga aisles of Borders and Barnes and Noble. You grab a new manga, lay on the floor, and read away while people walked around you
im still trying to figure out what the mythical “third space for teens” is that was apparently 100% free, abundantly entertaining, provided food/snacks and wasn’t educational. people keep talking about this place like it existed but never can give an example of what it was 😭

It’s funny how we are constantly having the “should writers have to read?” discourse, when the question should be “why are you even writing stories if you don’t like them?”What made you want to create something you’ve never enjoyed?

Big news. I wrote a biography on Nobuo Uematsu and it drops this Fall. It is jam-packed with some seriously amazing revelations the public has never heard about, from and about the Final Fantasy composer, as shared by himself and those closest to him. Get ready.
Announcement: The legendary Final Fantasy composer goes on the record in this intimate biography! Featuring a foreword by Hironobu Sakaguchi and written by James Mielke, Nobuo Uematsu: On the Record releases Fall 2026.

This is a crime. If you read the Board of Peace charter, you understand it has nothing to do with the American government; it's a private entity Trump created for his own enrichment. This is an impeachable offense, and if this country were not broken he would be gone by tomorrow.
BREAKING: In an extraordinary and illegal move, Trump says he’s transferring $10 billion from the U.S. government to his “Board of Peace,” which he chairs and can use the funds as he wishes. Where is Congress???

i hate that critical thinking is becoming associated with being pretentious and elitist. criticism is deemed as unnecessary hate because people refuse to look at the political and social implications of the media they consume, whether it be a book or a film.
Wuthering Heights is SO good when you don’t have an English major in your ear telling you it’s nothing like the book
