Just Thinking About How Mullet Stan Would Sob If He Knew His Future. Just The Most Soulful, Happy Tears

Do they dance together during the dance break?

(your art is amazing and it makes me Happy 🩷 thanks for Sharing)

NO! but actually yes.

Stone is in charge of creating the playlists. Robotnik is busy, he can't be expected to waste time listening to NEW music and hoping to find something he doesn't hate. That's ridiculous! So it's Stone's job.

However, sometimes Robotnik is not entirely convinced of the new songs, and in those cases, he orders Stone to demonstrate just how is he supposed to dance to this.

Stone does, but he's not as good of a dancer as the Doctor is. So then, Robotnik is the one who has to show him how to properly do it. And they'll keep dancing to the same song until Stone gets it right.

(Stone was actually a terrible dancer when he started working for the Doctor. These days, he just does it wrong so Robotnik has something to complain about)

With the ai webscrape that recently happened on ao3 will you lock your works to registered users only? Its definitely insane whats going on and I’ve seen a lot of authors start to lock off all of their works.

If you don’t know what i’m talking about you can find out more here.

Please be safe and careful with your content!

I saw the thing about the AI scraping of Ao3. Unfortunately, my fics pre-February didn't escape, which means Abandon My Eulogy and Gonna See The Folks I Dig both were added in with the thousands of fics used to train some AI program somewhere.

But I'm not going to lock my works to be registered users only.

It's sad. To see my work getting shuttled off to be churned into a machine that spits out lifeless crap, its violating, and it does make me upset.

But AI could never, and will never, do what I do. And I do this shit for the love of the game.

I'm not making content to get a higher inconsequential number, im not doing this for some kind of internet fame or to be on the cover of Vouge or something. I write, and I make art, and I create because I love doing it, and I love sharing it, and I love when other people see it and they ALSO get the joy that I created it with.

I write to tell stories. I write to string words together to make phrases that turn into sentences that bear meaning to others. I write to make angst that'll make you cry, that makes me cry, I write happy comedy to make you, and myself laugh, I write to enjoy Fandom or just for the sake of creating.

AI could never take that away from me. And, assholes using AI to make some kinda money and using my work to do it pisses me off to no end, but its not gonna stop me.

I know there are some of you here who like and read my work and aren't registered users on Ao3 (Although, take it from me, I HIGHLY recommend becoming a user, its awesome) or simply read ao3 without logging in.

I see why other authors are locking down their work, I understand it and I even encourage them, but im not going to do it for my own.

Because I used to be an unregistered user. I used to be so afraid of getting caught reading unpublished stories that I didn't want anything associated with me, so I didn't make an account until YEARS later. I remember clicking on links and being behind a wall, unable to read a fic I wanted because I wasn't a user. I remember missing out on art and on stories I wanted to see.

So im keeping my stuff open. Im putting my work out there for the world, and unfortunately, that means that sometimes people in the world are gonna be dicks about free access and use my work. Someone might feed abandon my Eulogy into AI to spit out a new ending. Someone might use AI to make shitty generated art for it.

And it makes me angry. I do not give my permission now or ever to take my work, anything I've ever written, and put it into generative AI, and if I ever hear the name of someone doing it, I'll hunt them down.

But im keeping my doors open. The garden is free to enter, and I will try to make sure it always is. If Ao3 finds a way to make it so I can prevent my fics from being taken while still allowing free access to everyone, id be happy to use that. But until then, im going to keep writing, keep posting, and raising my middle finger to the assholes who think its okay to steal people's work.

i think it is important to recognize the ways in which your favorite thing sucks. i think it keeps u normal

me externally: I write fanfic because I enjoy it! I write for myself!

me internally: validate me. drown me in kudos. i will sell my soul for comments and fic recs

pt2 of this

This is the same guy that posted that group selfie titled „yes, these are both my hands“

i SO agree about robotnik being aggressive even when he's trying to be affectionate. he's like a dog with no bite inhibition

accidental injuries, too! i have a very silly scene in my head where stone tries to do the good morning hug from behind trope and robotnik gets so startled that he elbows him in the ribs lol

Stone is very proud

Just thought about Stan having a habit of making suicide jokes cuz that's how he used to cope with his depression before, but after the loop ends he keeps doing it and giving Ford heart attacks every single time because he thinks Stan is being serious
