i guess this could be considered kind of an interest check? 🤨 I’m in the middle of rewriting after some large changes to the outline. so it’s not really complete or ready for a read through. if someone is interested in developmental editing or wants to train their editing muscles, lmk! thank you 🙏⭐️

i’ve been working on this on and off since a dimileth goggles back in ‘23 or ‘24 and I want to prove to myself that I can finish it lol. i haven’t had a beta in over 10 years so i’m not actually sure what it entails but I’d appreciate a pair of fresh eyes once I finished the first draft basically

not sure if this is the right place to ask, but would anyone be interested in beta-reading a fic? it’s dimileth, plot heavy (I guess? I hope??), beauty & the beast inspired. the 1st draft, still wip, is currently at 35k. there is an outline and i’m hoping to finish at 50k, but 🤷
(details in thread)

A drawing of Byleth and Dimitri from Fire Emblem. They are in the final step of a double-wield sword sparring session, pressed close together. Dimitri’s blush is luminous.

“You should get used to fighting with whatever you have on hand,” Professor Byleth said, gesturing towards the lighter swords.

Dimitri only realized what that meant halfway through the demonstration—and, by then, Sylvain’s stifled laughter was already echoing down the training yard.

fire emblem three houses: felix/annette short fancomic. Office Romance AU. Panel 1, left: Closeup. Felix gazes downward to the right, presumably someone offscreen. Panel 2, right: Camera pulls out and focuses on Annette, who's waving at her friends Mercedes and Ingrid. Panel 3, left: Felix, Sylvain, and Dimitri walk, their eyes focused ahead. Panel 4, right: Closeup. Annette looks up to the left, meeting Felix's eyes on the top right left panel. They are stealing glances from each other. Panel 5: Felix and Annette exchange a secretive hand touch as they walk past each other with their friends.

A drawing in greyscale. Dimitri and Byleth from FE3H are sitting at a table littered with maps, papers, and books. Byleth is staring at Dimitri with no epxression, while Dimitri is looking back with a confused, half-pleased frown.

"The seminar was ending; Byleth should have been paying attention. But the dying daylight caught in Dimitri’s face, a flat bright pane, and she understood— at that moment— why people sacrificed themselves for others, even when free from the constraints of contracts and lords’ purses." #dimileth

Digital illustration, Pokémon fan art. The picture shows a lone, Japanese, red mailbox by a rural road, with a meadow, river and forest visible in the background. A Wingull sits on the edge of the mailbox with an envelope in its beak, and a Torchic stands by the mailbox, curiously looking up at the other Pokémon.

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be.

The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with.

The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization.

In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. 

You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

both of them just living their lives and issues separately because "we don't talk about that. haha. we are Friends and we don't bother each other with that" (ingrid marrying herself off to save her land & sylvain's whole thing about seeing women as crest opportunists). they were made for this, baby!

sylvain fucking every girl in fódlan and refusing to see ingrid as one - bc if he does, he has to confront the fact that he's wanted her for years. ingrid trying her best not to be seen as a girl, bc sylvain hates women for wanting him. it's just [squeezes fist] gnhgh

LRT i actually started that fic to write more fe3h and i definitely should write sylgrid one day because they seem like the Absolute Perfect pairing for some angst. like, "childhood friends turning into complicated feelings" type of angst. but how do you fit all that into a flash fic like lol
