Leon's Cave

looks like my summer vacation is… over.

I’ve been on tumblr for almost 13 years and I refuse to know what homestuck is about

The thing that amazes me is that I've been on tumblr for ages and dashboard osmosis has conveyed absolutely nothing to me about Homestuck whatsoever.

There are whole episodes of Supernatural that I've seen in their entirety through gifsets. I don't even know what sort of a thing Homestuck is or where I would find it. I know less about what happens in Homestuck, which presumably actually exists, than what happens in Goncharov, which doesn't.

I spend hours every day on tumblr. I don't know how this is possible.

They held hands

I'm obsessed with everyone's immediate reaction to the Grian statue. Everyone that I've seen (Scar, Skizz, Grian) have ALL said the words "Grian doesn't have a mouth" or in Grian's case, "I don't have a mouth"

You mean to tell me that Grian actually named his bow “his charm and good looks” canonically with his whole entire grick? You mean to tell me he ACTUALLY killed Scar and it showed up in chat as “Goodtimewithscar was killed by Grian using his charm and good looks” ??? Right in front of every other hermit on this good christian minecraft server??????? What in the homosexuality is going on I thought that was a fan edit,,,,,,

So today I got a rather unkind comment on AO3 (one could call it hate), but I believe it to be a bot for several reasons:

I'm curious, did anyone else get comments like this? Let me know.

And to those who have gotten rude comments and are now worried/upset: Maybe it was just a bot too. Either way: You're awesome for putting your writing out there for others to enjoy and you don't deserve to get rude comments for it. If you want feel free to message me to compare cases and discuss details :)

For comparison, this is the one I received.

Here are some more examples fellow writers allowed me to share:

As you can see, these comments all the match the description above. Also they seem to be weirdly obsessed with AI and this entire operation may be an attempt to promote writing AI - which, if true, is disgusting on several levels.

(If any of the people with the AO3 usernames in question happen to see this: Don't worry, we're all sure it wasn't you, no hard feelings and sorry that a bot stole your name for hate comments. The names are only shown as proof that they are indeed stolen)

Oh I was just wondering why I got a weird comment today!

This is mine. Looking at the pattern, it is definitely a bot. Stealing usernames and posting as guests under that.

I was upset for a hot minute, replied asking what did they mean... Turns out I shouldn't have bothered.

Thank you for the addition! This certainly paints a picture - they're claiming that the work of actual human authors is subpar (the toddler comment on mine and the human comment on yours) and/or bring up AI.

Sorry this happened and I hope you're feeling better now💕 personally, I do believe this work was written by a human being and a lovely too!🫂💗

I don't think they're so much trying to get people to use AI to write fics - there seems to be some sort of a scam where the bots encourage commenters to put a fic through their 'AI scanner' to check if it was written by a robot.

They're literally trying to get readers to do the work of scraping fics for them.

It's 2am, and the smoke alarm just started the low battery chirp.

At least, I think it's the low battery chirp.

Siiiiiiiiigh. I'm going to have to wake up Mothman, aren't I?

I can't find it. We have too many alarms.

I'd ask why we have so many alarms, but I know why. It's because this house is a fucking nightmare and tried to kill us multiple times via carbon monoxide poisoning.

Okay, I think I found it. Our bedroom carbon monoxide alarm fell off the wall the other day, and it's been sitting on Mothman's desk in the next room ever since. I think that's where the noise was coming from.

I'm not going to put fresh batteries in it now because it makes it shriek like hell, but remind me to replace the batteries in the morning, Tumblr. K thanks. Night.

@bibliosphere here's your reminder to put batteries in

getting older fuckign sucks like what do you MEAN i can’t just eat things. i hate you

i need to understand every detail of this

lactose intolerance is the body being unable to breakdown lactose, milk allergy is your body having an allergic reaction to the proteins in it and oh boy. whatever you think a bad tummy ache is. imagine it more evil. yeagh. but luckily it’s not uncommon for it to fade naturally with age and by the time i was like twelve i was freed from the prisons of a cheeseless existence. did this by leaving small amounts of cheese on my otherwise dough-and-sauce pizza slices until i was a real boy. over many years

oh very cool!!! one of my best friends grew up with juvenile RA and it went away in our 20s. she’s always waiting for it to come back 😭😭😭
