( My results )
Overall, nothing shocking here, though I'm surprised that Lawrence/O'Malley ranked above Benitez/Lawrence. And also that Bellini/previous Pope turned out number 1.
I suppose my logic with ranking was, aside from whether I like a pairing or not, is whether I would find it interesting. Bellini obviously had a lot of backstory with previous!Pope; I found his grief etc in the film very compelling. The whole thing with the chess set and so on. So I guess it makes sense.
Not surprised that Adeyemi/Tremblay was #5 for me. Like, neither of them is my favourite character, but they're both such troublemakers. And while they don't have a huge amount of interaction in the film, the amount they DO have is enough to latch onto. That damn cafeteria scene, man. Adeyemi's whole thing with "Judas. Traitor." Yeah, yeah, Tedesco's iconic vape hit, we've all seen it, but the delivery of Adeyemi's line...!
My only disappointment is that Lawrence/Tremblay isn't on the ship list, because like, I DO have opinions on that, unlike some of the stuff on the list. Partially thanks to Tremblay's route in Delectatio Morosa, but also thanks to the book, in which Lomeli is so very BEC about Tremblay and his sports-newscaster-esque good looks and his perfect hair, lol.

What is ironic is our having vidded my least favorite song on this album twice, but it is honestly a great vidding song for a long-running show — silly and full of really specific lyrics. This vid was our chance to highlight all the minor and recurring characters who might not pop up in other vids (RIP Jenny, sorry you only got reaction shots in Hand in My Pocket 🙏).

elayna. It's colored by hand and she indicated that it was done in pencil -- must be some very special kind of pencil -- there's a depth of color and a shine to it that doesn't look like other pencil-work I've seen. And she pointed out that with one of the images being a compass and one of the images being a wolf or wolf-dog it made her think of due South. Also, she put a wolf sticker on it and used a maple-leaf postage stamp. I <3 everything about this card very much!baisemain) wrote in dreamcodes2025-07-11 10:55 amcomic book event

Saw my first “did using an LLM screw up your business? We can help you find someone to fix it” ad in the wild today. (It was a Fiverr commercial on Youtube.) Wonder how many more of those are coming.
—
From 2023: Novelist Alexander Wales blogged a bit about trying to get an LLM to generate a publishable novel. He made a good-faith effort, took a lot of different thoughtful approaches, and documented enough of it to be a good read. Part 1: “I’ve been trying my hand at writing with the assistance of ChatGPT and occasionally other tools. Mostly, it sucks…” Part 2: “I’m still trying to get an LLM to write me a novel, and experiencing the first major setbacks while working on chapter 2.” (There is no post 3.)
And from this January: “A dad just can’t seem to figure out why his six-year-old daughter wasn’t impressed by the AI toy he gave her for Christmas. […] He writes that he cannot understand why his daughter disabled the dinosaur plushie’s built-in AI voice — opting, instead, to play with it like a regular toy, and dressing it with clothes she made.“
LLMs are an interesting novelty the first time you play with them, but for people with actual creativity — whether it’s writers, artists, or Literally Any Child — you overrun their limits and get bored with them so fast.
(What really gets to me about the dinosaur one is the dad saying he “wasn’t able to really understand where’s the resistance.” Instead of approaching the problem as “let me analyze this toy to figure out why it hasn’t earned my kid’s interest,” he’s gone with “of course the toy is entitled to my kid’s interest, let me analyze her to figure out why she’s ‘resisting’.”)

From this week, a writer trying to get ChatGPT to quote/summarize some linked essays: “The lines you quote are not lines I wrote. They are not in the piece. What is going on here?”
Ending on a golden note from FFA: “Hi my name is Loquacious Techbro Midjourney ChatGPT Claude AI and I have long, beige, run on sentences (that’s how I got my name) with purple prose streaks and red flag tips that reach into the stratosphere and icy blue prompts that like using limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like 300 Ghibli characters smashed together(If you don’t know what that is get da hell out of here!).”

| Challenge 266: A WALK IN THE PARK |
What could be easier? It’s just a nice stroll through the park. A relaxing summer evening, a crisp fall morning, an afternoon with the kids… But maybe it’s not quite that simple. Maybe the weather’s out to get your characters – a relaxing walk is interrupted by rain, snow, or lightning. Maybe the park has been overrun with wild geese, and now you’re facing a gauntlet of angry birds just to get to the picnic tables. Or maybe no matter how hard your characters try, getting an afternoon off from saving the world just isn’t happening. So how does their walk in the park go? Do they get to enjoy it? Write a story about a walk in the park. If your submission features birds (of any species), it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting! |
| Challenge ends Monday, July 14 at 9:00PM EST. • Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile • Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 266 – a walk in the park • If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here |

But the real reason I wanted to post was to say that I'm a bit more than 55% through Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, and there's a 30% discount for it in the Steam sale which ends tomorrow, so - if my post last week intrigued you, I encourage you to buy it, it's inexpensive, it's captivating, it's sophisticated and spooky and atmospheric with occasional touches of humor, fourth-wall smashing, and weird supernatural stuff, and the puzzles are clever and thinky and (mostly) fun. As I mentioned, I told my brother about it and he bought it - and he finished it last night! He admits he got so into it that he put in way too many hours too quickly, but he really loved it.
If you do buy it, the hints page at https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3249636035 is really great as it is nudge-y rather than sledge-y; it points you in the right direction (or tells you what a wrong direction is) which for me is mostly all I have needed.
Also, there are in-game espresso machines.
