my big fear when it comes to Beta reader is them using AI shit. Please no. Then I'd rather have no Beta at all.

My very ambitious plan, after it's all written down and probably gets Beta reader, that for each chapter there will be one illustration.

I decided to finally draft the plot points of my fanfic so now all I need to do is just write it all down proper... just 6 more chapters to write then.

Instead, you'd need to find your way of making yourself look kinda more approachable. I don't know answer myself because I'm kinda similar minus modding anything (loooooong time ago I modded Facebook group) xd

I think it's kinda comes back to feeling intimidated because people kinda see Stuu more often making goofy things and is not seen as the one writing official announcements so he feels more approachable this way. I think the key is not copying him because that only leads to frustration.

I think for some it's maybe feeling a bit intimidated to so with a mod/admin and for others it's a fear of crossing boundaries. Might be due to people's past experiences with other mods/admins. Although not saying even "thank you" for help really sucks and cannot be really explained.

Anyhow, yesterday I became a happy baby <3 This sword is probably one of my favorites! Zenith, my Commander, got a fashion upgrade too! (I wish mesmers could double wield swords, it would be so cool sob)

What also really infuriates me is how a lot of help for neurodivergent people is only focused on kids. It feels more like help for neurotypical parents to manage such a child or "fix" them, instead of actual support. Once you're an adult somehow you're no longer neurodivergent? Fuck this.

When I see this I remember that my mother has dyslexia and for that reason she couldn't pass a graduation exam, which would let her get higher education. Nowadays with this diagnosis the spelling mistakes would be ignored but during her time she was taken as "stupid".

To be able to illustrate my ideas. I think I succeeded.

It's me there!

grisps you :)

My commander is a collector of chicken-related items - minis, clothing, titles, yada yada.

being unlabelled feels the best tbh, you don't have to conform to any expectations placed on you and just be you
