D3m0n-c0nc3pt5 - D3m0n

the two halves of my brain/the two wolves inside me when making up a fantasy/sci-fi creature:

Side A: okay but what niche is this species occupying? They’re eusocial and cave-dwelling, did they evolve in natural caves or do they dig warrens, or some combination of both? Are all castes blind, or only some of them? Do they have any kind of special thermoception or electroreception sense? Could they have evolved to be bipedal, or is that stupid and they need a different body plan more suited for tunneling/noodling around in cramped parts of cave systems? If they’re smaller than humans but still fairly large creatures, how do they get the energy they need in a resource-scarce subterranean environment? You have to read these three journal articles right now!! Read them right now!

Side B: aww and this character wears a little knitted hat with holes for her little ears

like i'm sorry but we as a fandom have to stay firm on our anti-AI values. we cannot suddenly start giving AI a pass when it's something we "want to see" like destiel kisses. it's not suddenly fine. we're not going to start using AI to make fanfic scenes come to life or audio AI to make characters "say" stuff we want to hear. you have GOT to be firm on your anti-AI stance. if you start making exceptions then suddenly anything will fly. fandom is for real art and creations made by real people. no AI fanfics. no AI art. no AI rendered "bonus" scenes. no AI audio. none of it has a place here.

The creature….

One of my favorite things in Fallout 4 was how synths can randomly replace settlers in your settlements. And people in real life all talked about how you could tell who a synth was by checking their energy resistance in VATS. Having energy resistance = you’re a synth.

Except this was completely made up by players trying to find an easy way to find synths. Settlers can just randomly have energy resistance for various reasons.

So in a game about paranoia and witch hunts, players created a real life equivalent of witch trials and plenty of random innocent NPCs were butchered over paranoia about synths, started by real life rumors.
