At the beach, in every life by Gigi Perez fills me with such a unfathomable ache, like I get this twisting pain in my stomach. It’s genuinely so beautiful and emotional :’) I’m so glad I got to hear it live. Very Swan and Eren!!!

The life of a showgirl was exceedingly dull. I'm disappointed, but not surprised, cause this is exactly what I was expecting lol. The composition was exceedingly lusterless and generic. Even her lyricism (which is typically the saving grace of her songs) was lacking. There was absolutely no variety in the production or memorable crescendo that could have rescued the songs, it just felt like watered-down Walmart Sabrina Carpenter music. I was hoping that Taylor would make a rock album, or at least diverge from her drab superstore synth route (because she def does have that range) but she also knows her fanbase will eat up any music she puts out… (and this is coming from someone who likes most of her music.) Hope this gets a deluxe like TTPD did with better lyricism and production.

@mikalover34 literally!! Definition of wasted potential

@sourmuse I forgot to say, I totally agree and I would have loved a rock style album with stronger instrumentals and vocals, gen Ophelia was good, but the others felt flat to me

@sourmuse I swear I responded to this but yeah, I have my criticisms against Sabrina as well but I do think she can pull of the sultry vibe without it coming off as forced. Taylor can as well but I don’t know why it was so badly executed in this album. Like maroon and dress were so good, but it’s like the energy was just gone? Even the production in general did not match the album vibe and promo at all…anyways dk why ppl can’t handle critique against Taylor and her music as if she’s exempt from it LMAO

AL FANS PLEASE READ THIS!! So, after throwing myself into a deep void of contemplation for months, I have decided that I no longer feel the same attachment I once felt for the Tom Riddle fandom for various reasons. 
          
          To begin with, this fandom has continuously exhibited discrimination against anyone who isn’t a cis, straight white man or woman. I have encountered disproportionate amounts of bigotry, including racism towards myself and others, as well as homophobia, transphobia, ableism etc.. Don't even get me started on the blatant superiority complexes of the primarily yt, cishet ppl in this fandom. 
          
          2. Not only that, but the number of people who go out of their way to make alt accounts to harass and doxx others is genuinely insane. I'm appalled that it happened to me and my moots whom I care deeply about. This had a horrible impact on my mental health to the point where I currently take antidepressants. 
          
          3. JK’s unbridled bigotry, if it wasn't clear already. Her ceaseless transphobia is so indescribably harmful and horrendous, and I do not wish to be associated with such a wretched individual. 
          
          That being said, I will still complete AL at my own pace and publish acts in their entirety for you all to binge. 
          
          !! However, the good news from all this toxicity is that I will be self-publishing AL!! The rewrite will be untethered from the HP universe entirely, with a darker, Gothic setting and plot steeped in mainly Pakistani and Islamic folklore and mythology. It will focus on the Qadir Coven and Anya’s development under unjust colonial oppression, with a romance subplot!! 
          
          Thank for reading this announcement and I hope my AL readers continue to support me on this journey. I truly appreciate those of you who have been by my side for this fic and expressed your overwhelming support. For that, I am eternally grateful, and I would love it if you follow me again om this journey for the rewrite. 
          
          - love, Alisha

@Jaegerswan yes I'm so excited and I completely respect your decision

Ai is such a plague on this app. If you use ai for your books or fics, I will automatically assume you use it for your writing as well. Especially if it reads like ai, is written incredibly fast, and scores 100 percent on ai detectors on every paragraph… 
          
          Now, I’m aware many authors write in their drafts before publishing their entire fic, and that is totally different! I am not referring to my talented ppl who plan like masterminds. However, It’s very obvious when someone’s writing voice is theirs vs when it’s refined/generated by Ai. 
          
          At this point, I feel like if you have learned the harm of ai (environmentally detrimental, funds gwordside), and still use it for creative purposes, then you shouldn’t call yourself a writer or artist. Like what happened to picsart graphics like God intended?? We are losing ancient scripts smh…

“the allure of ai entices those who fetishize ideas but dismiss the work. […] for them, the vision is everything, and the work is just an annoying obstacle.”. the rise in conforming to ai generators in artistic spaces is truly terrifying and upsetting. technologically generating something that is and has always been a global, timeless craft that relies on irreplicable human creativity to give it a soul is the fastest way to kill your brain and lose an extremely large part of your humanity. art can only be something that is wholly YOURS. just like your thoughts need to be yours, articulated in a way that’s wholly characteristic of you. what are we doing…..

It honestly takes everything away from the whole point of creativity. So many writing resources have had AI updates too :(

@dreamforfreedom PERIOD and it’s disheartening that they get more than writers who put their souls into their writing
