it has been one week since i quit ai cold turkey! my plan had been to replace ai time with reading and writing, and it has worked a lot so far! i’m currently working on a western fanfic, and i genuinely dont even hate it..

its also been easier than i imagined. it must’ve been because i already had so many reasons to quit, that when i actually did, it didn’t really feel like such a bad thing.

but reminder that, even if it worked for me, it might not work for you! quitting cold turkey is really hard when you’ve already formed a reliance on ai. so i do recommend that you quit slowly, so you’re less likely to immediately relapse. and go seek out support! you can search for it here, or some other places. because support is one of the most important things to quitting.

but i believe in everyone trying to quit! there’s always hope for anyone deep in any addiction, including ai addiction. so remind yourself that there’s always hope no matter what!

how do fanfic writers research before writing aus? recently ive been wanting to write an old western au, but im not sure where to look to make sure all my information is accurate for the time period im writing. wikipedia? but what else..??

after i finish writing this post, i am going to close two tabs. a tab with character ai open, and a tab with janitor ai open. after that, i will open my notes app. then, i will write all my ideas down there. with those ideas, i will either just think about them, or i will WRITE. i dont care if i finish them, i will just WRITE.

this is my master plan to quitting ai. and whenever i get the urge to open either one, i will STUDY. yeah thats right. im going to STUDY

as you can tell, i am feeling very optimistic about this

earlier i was washing rice and i saw little red/brown like.. lines float up to the top. the closest thing i have found about it is weevils, maybe?? i have no idea how big weevils are, but the specks in that rice were TINY. and there were so many.. it grossed me out. surely it had to be something in that bag of rice, right?? i dont know.. its just starting to gross me out

the main things im looking for are:

• wireless/bluetooth
• good-to-great/long battery life
• good-to-great audio quality
• comfortable for long amounts of time (especially with glasses on)
• versatility
• not too expensive price ($60.00>)
• available to order on like, amazon or bestbuy? or just online

i dont really care about bass and stuff, and while i would prefer noise cancellation just in case, it isnt a priority. as i, probably like many other reddit users, dont get outside much unless my family drags me along.

i also mentioned wanting it to be versatile. as in, i plan on using it literally everywhere. at home, for commute, in public.. and i plan on using it for basically anything. music, youtube videos, maybe calls? now that i mention calls, i think i might want a built in mic too. if that isnt possible with my budget, i guess i could live without it.

so some secondary concerns are:

• sweat/water resistance
• noise cancellation
• built in mic

if any of those things dock up the price exponentially, i can just ignore it. i just need some headphones, man.

if i forget to mention some things, you can ask some questions and i’ll hopefully answer later to the best of my ability.

i just got a random quill for shits and giggles today. how should i clean it before using? with rubbing alcohol? with a potato for some reason? i have no idea what to do

i just got the game a few days ago, and i failed spectacularly with getting them together on my first playthrough. so i made a new save just to try again. is it possible to get them back together without getting a love ending with washford or something? im a lesbian so it kinda gives me the ick, even if its a game..

but i saw a person get an ending where they (drysdale and washford) got back together and washford was just friends with them (the player). how can i get that ending, man?

ive never even REALIZED it before that you could run emblem on him btw. but aside from that, what is his best artifact set to run on a team of lauma, xingqiu, and kuki? ive seen a variety of builds from different people already, im taking the suggestion of running gilded, but what else can i run?

im entirely f2p and i dont have any weapons for my kaveh. i know that serpent spine, redhorn, and varka sig are good for him as crit weapons, but i dont know if mavuikas weapon is the same. do i pull for her weapon or bet my primos on a varka rerun soon?

should i still run him on FLOP nowadays? someone told me that i can put him on night of the skys unveiling since im running him with lauma for the crit rate, but im still confused on some stuff

do i put lauma on deepwood or silken moon? silken sounds pretty nice, but some people say to put her on deepwood.

i know xingqiu is usually run on FLOP for the bloom dmg buff, but if im running him with kaveh, does that mean kaveh cant run FLOP? as in, can multiple units run FLOP at once?

rn i have kaveh, lauma, and xingqiu as a team but i dont have nilou, so..?? do i make a hyperbloom team even if its 2026? i have a kuki.. but then do i run her on flop as well? like goodness this is hard

i keep seeing people with in game characters as their avatars in the miliastra lobby. what the hell, i wanna do that too?? how did they do that 😭

ive never really known why it matters what denomination you are if we’re all pretty much christian at the end of the day. but i want to know what the difference is anyway. for example, what is the difference between baptist beliefs and lutheran beliefs? or more broadly, what sets lutheranism from every other denomination? im a little dumb, so i might need a simpler explanation.. but please dont make it so simple that it undermines what you all really believe, i really would like to know the details

im pretty young. but i know that i want to live a life where i can love god and love another woman like ive seen so many straight people be able to do.

i want to believe that this is possible, but im surrounded by people that dont think it is. im afraid that im the one that’s ‘wrong’. what if being gay is a sin?

how can love be so separated from god, though? why is there a way that someone can love someone ‘wrongly’?

i want to grow up and wake up next to a wife who understands me. i want to wake up next to a wife who loves me too. i want to wake up next to a wife who loves god too.

why must that dream be torn away from me because i dont want that same relationship with a man? do i not deserve it now?

if being gay really is a sin, i want to cling to my aro/ace ‘side’, but what if im not satisfied that way? what if i still want that wife i yearn for so badly?

i dont want to go to hell because i didnt want to believe that loving someone could be a sin. im scared.

i have no idea what set to use for lauma, because im running her on a kaveh team. i dont have columbina so i used xingqiu like ppl said i should, but i also dont have nilou to fill the last slot.

do i put lauma on fopl (flower of paradise lost) or the nod krai one that everyone else uses on her?? because i wont have the nod krai character buff without columbina, so do i just use aino in the last slot for the lunar bloom? and use the nodkrai set?

im so confused am i doing regular bloom or lunar bloom idk anymore

FUCKKKKKKKKK WHAT DO I DOOOO, I HAVE XINGQIU AND LAUMA BUT NOW WHO DO I RUN TO REPLACE NILOU???? DO I JUST MAKE IT HYPERBLOOM SOMEHOW??? I HAVE KUKI
