Out of every Ryan Gosling role...

the one that made me think, "Oh, he's attractive."

...was the sleep-deprived middle school science teacher Ryland Grace in Project Hail Mary.

My fic contains pretty much every single commonly cited 'tell' for AI.

I've never used AI in my life, least of all in my writing, but I have no idea how I'm supposed to prove that. Even just saying "I don't use AI, I swear :)" has been co-opted by AI 'writers' these days.

Frankly, the knowledge that people are going to take one look at my work, assume it's 'obviously' AI, and just leave and/or block me without even asking, is starting to kill my desire to write at all.

I'm not into sports, and especially not into football.
But recently on Youtube i got reccomended a video about some FIFA mascots or whatever. The video contents are not important.
The thing is, i saw someone commenting about how they ship Zakumi and Fuleco

Some people replied to this person, too, saying that they shouldn't ship them because they're children... Meanwhile, i was thinking to myself, "Wait what? People ship sport mascots?". Like, i know that there's so many weird and strange and funny pairings out here, but i didn't even realise shipping sport mascots together was an option!

(Er, related to the replies mentioned here. I have noticed that more and more people started to criticize people for having child x child pairings. Which is very strange to me, because everytime i see someone shipping children together, it's always done in a very cutesy and cuddly way. Do these people hear "children being in romantic relationships" and immediately think of something sexual? Like, that's on them, not the shippers.)
