#apparently this is ai but its also the closest ive ever gotten to my parents being proud of me for being good at chess

It's Vocaloid. They used software to make the song, same as we've been using software to make music at home for over two and a half decades. Some modern programs for doing this let you tell the software what to sing, and the vocals are made from a voice bank sourced from paid artists who signed up to make the voice bank because they wanted to. It's not fucking. Autogenerated by chatgpt or something.

I'm pointing this out because "ai" means like sixteen different things and these days if you say something is AI everyone assumes it's autogenerated dross created in the least ethical way they can think of. In this case, it just means they made a cool animation and wrote a cool song and happened to use a voice synthesiser for the song.

honestly thank you for this because i had not unmuted, i just thought this was an annotated chess demo that went hard

I just watched this on mute and it's hilarious because without the song there is absolutely no context for why the visuals go that hard

I just want to point out to people who don’t know Critical Role, that while you can infer that those on top are canonneer and first mate, you absolute need to know that the guy with the book in the last gif is the captain.

my glasses are always dirty but it's fine. i've seen enough.

Maaan poor Mo Ran this dude on the verge of a mental breakdown sobbing wanting to confess all his past life sins to his boyfie shizun and Chu Wanning’s autistic ass is just like “it’s ok babe how about I touch your boner? No seriously let me touch your boner.” And Mo Ran’s like “noooo ok ok let’s make out I guess” which turns into “ok yeah we’re fuckin tonight I don’t even care let’s gooooo” only for Xue Meng to be like “knock knock shizun I frew up ☹️” so Chu Wanning’s autistic ass is like “Mo Ran you beast! unhand my cock I must attend to the sad puppy outside” and Mo Ran’s just like “😐 bruh are you kidding me right now”

This is not a debate post if piercing guns are good or bad in just asking if you had piercings done with it

To all my writers who have a tough time with smut terms and not knowing which ones to use, I have found the holy grail for us.

This reddit user took a poll of 3,500 people and went really in depth with asking their favorite terminology, along with actual pie charts on what the readers preferred to see in their smut.

Here's the direct link to the Google doc with all the info!

A treasure! Especially the Notable Omissions sections.

Now that's interesting. I like great polls and this one is enlightening. 😆🤭

So this was great

When Adam bit the apple he did it because he trusted Eve. Because he loved her. Adam bit into the apple because the woman he loved told him to, no matter what God said. No matter the rules of heaven. What's heaven to a woman's love anyway? What's God to your wife? The first sins of humanity, were trusting others. Eve trusted a snake, Adam trusted Eve, and I trust you. Maybe that's a sin, just like the first couple. Maybe everyone's right about us and we're sinners and we offend God. But like I said, what's God to a woman's love anyway? What has heaven got that I can't find sitting next to you on a cool autumn morning?

Something something the fact that Mo Ran claims that he hatefucked Chu Wanning to humiliate him and also kind of out of loneliness, but mostly hate, he fucked him brutally, with rage, with grief and vengeance. Every time he sees Chu Wanning in this life he sees red.

And then when he for a moment wakes up in bed with Chu Wanning thinking he's in his past life, he's all snuggly, giving him a peck on the mouth, asking for breakfast, accepting Wanning's silence as refusal with affectionate resignation, telling him he had a nightmare.

???

No one has ever fooled themselves harder, like how did you think your relationship was all about hate when it apparently held this level of casual affection?

I find it fascinating that although the narration often points out how emotionally incompetent Mo Ran is, calling him out on discrepancies, there is STILL such a huge gap in the narration and what is revealed to be true. And by "I find it fascinating", I mean I love it.

Insanely funny to me. Brands trying to make a funny meme and fucking it up will always be funny to me.

They removed it. RIP Disney incest posting by accident

It had Lilo and Stitch too, which while not incest… yeah.
