not to sound sappy, but i personally think that a happy ending that the characters bled, suffered and fought for is a thousand times more interesting than a bland tragic ending that the author clearly thought would be “subversive”
The way most autism literature describes “literal interpretation” is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn’t be autistic because I’ve always been able to learn metaphors easily.
In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.
But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there’s so much they don’t state clearly. Or they don’t leave room for enough nuance.
“List all the jobs you’ve had, with start and end dates.” What if I don’t remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?
“Have you been suffering from blurred vision?” Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I’m fairly sure that’s not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.
Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) “Would you rather go to a library or a party?” What sort of party? Where? Who’s there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?
It’s not common figures of speech that confound me. It’s ambiguity, in situations that aren’t supposed to be ambiguous.
I’ll have a few slots of each type (portraits, fullbody, and Tav + companion comms) available for now, for dnd/bg3 characters and OCs! Make sure to read my ToS and fill out the form in my linktree if you’re interested ✨ (I’ll leave the form open for a day or two to give people a chance to respond)
When I became freelance, one of my first marketing contracts was fixing my boss’ blog posts and articles that he had ‘written’ with ChatGPT.
It was the single most soul-sucking task I have ever done in my life. I could have ghostwritten it for them faster than it took me to edit it.
ChatGPT would often hallucinate features of the product, and often required more fact-checking than the article was worth.
It is absolutely no surprise that 77% of employees report that AI has increased workloads and lowered productivity, while 96% of executives believe it has boosted it.
The reality is that it’s only boosted the amount of work employees have to do which leads to increased burnout, stress and job dissatisfaction.
i love having adult horse girl friends. I’ll send them a 100x100px crunchy ass jpeg of a random brown horse and be like “thought of u🐴” and I can literally feel their sims relationship bar fill up in real time
Rly felt compelled to capture this before bed
