@bubbletealife here this is for you

Haikyuu boy headcanons: “how they unbox a box” edition ft life

Noya: tries to rip it open in one go. Like he will grab the sides and literally pull

Suga— knife. All the time. Where did he get that knife? Does he carry it around? Did he steal it? Nobody knows.

Daichi— lawful neutral, his house keys. Duh.

Tendou— the nearest sharp object, like a folded piece of paper or, as he said “Ushijima’s jawline”.

Fukunaga: puts it in water, waits for it to become soggy? Then he rips it open.

Oikawa— makes Iwachan open it for him

Iwaizumi— rips the tape off with pure unmatched physical strength.

Yamagata— b i t e

Haikyuu boys as things my imaginary therapist said to me

Hinata— “You can only do your best when you’re at your best.

Kageyama— “Being alone isn’t always a bad thing, but it’s important to recognize the difference between being alone and being lonely.”

Daichi— “You have to go on. No matter how hard it is. No matter how much it hurts. You go on because there are people counting on you, and you go on because tomorrow, it’s buy one get one free pizza day at the pizzeria.”

Suga— “Failure is an option. Failure is not an end all be all. You don’t have to be a genius at anything to start with, or to end with. It’s not such a terrible thing, to be a failure.”

Oikawa— “The first and most important thing is that you love what you do. Everything else is second.”

Iwaizumi— “Sometimes self care is slapping the shit out of someone but we have to ask consent for that first. Do NOT slap someone randomly. That’s called assault.”

Ushijima— "People are just assholes, sometimes. You gotta learn to work around that."

Tendou— "Do NOT binge eat ice cream. The tummyache isn't worth it."

Semi— "Yes, music is actually a great way to process your emotions."

Kita— "You can't always be good at something when you start— it's actually quite rare to be good at something you just started doing. The way to get good is to consistently practice, and then you'll start making progress."

Atsumu— "Don't be afraid to feel your feelings. That's what humans were put on this earth to do, to feel."

Osamu— "Food therapy counts as therapy, as long as it's in moderation."

Kuroo— "No matter where you are in life, as long as you were nice to someone once, you can probably extort that."

Kenma— "Do it for love, if nothing else."

Bokuto— “Stop wasting your time on people who don’t appreciate you for who you are. Your people will come to you. They’ll see you and think, I will love this.”

Akaashi— “Things change. People change. Plans can change. And that’s not always in your control. Give yourself some grace.”

Haikyuu boy headcanons: mental health edition because it’s late and I can’t sleep

Tame ones here, TW worthy ones under the cut

Hinata— his quiet moments are always a bit off. He always wonders if he’s enough, if he can really do what he promised Kageyama. Sometimes, money’s tight. Sometimes, he doesn’t see his mom for weeks. He’s tired, but volleyball helps. And his friends.

Daichi— went through his own fair share of self esteem issues, but had good support and now dishes out wisdom like an old man and inspirational Pinterest combined.

Kageyama— pretty lonely as a kid, even with Miwa and his grandpa. Got even worse in junior high. Has his quiet moments but generally is okay when things are happening.

Iwaizumi— ignores his own health in favour of taking care of Oikawa, and learns the hard way to scale back. Hates scaling back so much that he dips back into ignoring his own mind until Oikawa becomes the one taking care of him, and then Iwa’s too scared to let himself go that far again.

Ushijima— self worth issues. Somehow both scared of failure and assured of his own victory at the same time. Enjoys self care as a routine and hates himself when he runs out of spoons to continue those routines. Doesn’t understand why he feels this way. Thinks it’s irrational.

Tendou— tries to take the “guess monster” moniker in stride and plays into it, but it still affects him. Wonders sometimes if his pride and reputation is worth it if he could just be himself with someone, truly and unabashedly. Finds comfort in being friends with Ushijima.

Semi— writes songs to process his feelings and has more often than not realized some things about himself as he writes. Performance anxiety, a bit of anger issues, mood swings.

Kita— king of self care. His routine is his all and he adjusts them when he thinks it needs changing, like how he adjusts his serving portions as he grows. Sometimes runs out of spoons but has a routine for low spoon days too.

Suga— has thought about suicide more than once, but never goes through with it. Doesn’t like the implications and doesn’t think it’s worth it. Plus, he still sort of believes in the “but you have so much to live for!” argument and also promised himself that it wouldn’t go too far.

Oikawa— once the concept of self harm was exposed to him, he’s wanted to try it. He’s a bit morbid with it. Doesn’t try anything with knives and skin but presses on his collection of never ending bruises. Hurts himself with overworking instead. Forgets to eat until Iwa reminds him.

It’s May 1st, everyone (kinda), and with May comes the prompts for Tendou Week, the fanweek dedicated to our beloved Tendou Satori! The event begins on May 18, but you can begin posting at any time, and we will leave the collection open for any latecomers!

If you didn’t respond to the earlier interest check and still want to participate, that is a-ok! We are always happy to have more love for him, and if you have any questions, feel free to DM us or a mod or refer to our carrd for more details! Happy creating!

@kings-highway I heard something about you and horses

ps: for some reason this shetty keeps biting hinata?-

first entry to my haikyuu equestrian/horse au

YES

Started haikyuu a few days ago and, Guys.... Guys, they're so gay

If sports anime, why homo?

By the way, fanfiction isn't the place for reviews or criticism.

When you're a published author, it's like you're preparing a meal in a food competition. You expect a rating and to be told what worked and what didn't to improve your craft and embark on your career.

When you're a fanfiction author, it's like taking some of your free time to enjoy the process of baking cookies and then offering them to someone to be kind.

If you take a cookie from the plate, you don't spit it out and tell them it sucked.

Unless the writer asks for your opinion, you can keep it to yourself.

Adding this to clarify, and you don't have to agree with this by any means, I cannot force you to, but the reason Ao3 and Fanfiction isn't the space for criticism and ratings...is that it is a fan space created by fans for fans.

It isn't school.

It is a space where people with the same interests can congregate and enjoy the same fandom.

When you think about commenting on an fanfic authors fics, don't think if it as fishing around in your pocket to give them a compliment.

Compliments are nice. Most everyone likes compliments.

"I like your character development."

"You paint wonderful imagry."

Those are comments that are compliments. Speaking for myself as a fanfic writer they're nice, but they're not what my fan heart craves.

I want engagement with my readers.

The best comments I get aren't talking about my skill as a writer, but what just happened in the story because you and I (the reader) are already fans of the world created.

Comments like:

"NOOOOOOOO!"

"Did she actually just do that?"

"EXCUSE me?!?!"

None of these comments are compliments and none are critical. They are emotionally aligned with the story. They are engaged and with this engagement we create a little community in this tiny little space we get to call ours.

I cannot stop people from saying cruel things, but I can inform those people of the "dangers" so to speak when people treat fandom spaces like Ao3 as if it's Goodreads.

Writers, who write for themselves and offer it to you out of kindness, can decide that if people are just going to spit out their cookies they don't need to post about them anymore and that is how fandom spaces die.

If you don't like the flavor of cookie they made, or you're allergic to one of its ingredients...don't eat the cookie. Put it back for someone else to enjoy and then go find the flavor you do like.

I—

Okay while trying to write up an answer for an entirely unrelated ask, I was suddenly slamdunked by the mental image of Daichi and Kenma becoming really close friends and like hanging out to play video games together and both of them, to each other, are like "yes we are hanging out as proxy friends because we are both much closer to kuroo" but they don't realize they've started hanging out alone and have become good friends (i actually do think they'd get along well) but Kuroo sure has noticed and he's feeling an absolutely unparalleled level of jealousy about it that he simply cannot identify the cause of.

Yaku: so you're jealous that your crush is spending more time with your closest friend than you?

Kuroo: yes

Yaku: great. And which one is which?

Kuroo: *distressed cat noises*

Sawamura Daichi you look like a squirrel

Okay fam sorry (not really) that all this gen ai bs is popping up from me but I had to do a school assignment where I was forced to use gen ai and I’m pissed about it, and also shit’s going down on ao3 with fic scraping and all. Remember to support creators and stay safe everyone!!

AO3'S content scraped for AI ~ AKA what is generative AI, where did your fanfictions go, and how an AI model uses them to answer prompts

Generative artificial intelligence is a cutting-edge technology whose purpose is to (surprise surprise) generate. Answers to questions, usually. And content. Articles, reviews, poems, fanfictions, and more, quickly and with originality.

It's quite interesting to use generative artificial intelligence, but it can also become quite dangerous and very unethical to use it in certain ways, especially if you don't know how it works.

With this post, I'd really like to give you a quick understanding of how these models work and what it means to “train” them.

From now on, whenever I write model, think of ChatGPT, Gemini, Bloom... or your favorite model. That is, the place where you go to generate content.

For simplicity, in this post I will talk about written content. But the same process is used to generate any type of content.

Every time you send a prompt, which is a request sent in natural language (i.e., human language), the model does not understand it.

Whether you type it in the chat or say it out loud, it needs to be translated into something understandable for the model first.

The first process that takes place is therefore tokenization: breaking the prompt down into small tokens. These tokens are small units of text, and they don't necessarily correspond to a full word.

For example, a tokenization might look like this:

Write a story

Each different color corresponds to a token, and these tokens have absolutely no meaning for the model.

The model does not understand them. It does not understand WR, it does not understand ITE, and it certainly does not understand the meaning of the word WRITE.

In fact, these tokens are immediately associated with numerical values, and each of these colored tokens actually corresponds to a series of numbers.

Write a story 12-3446-2638494-4749

Once your prompt has been tokenized in its entirety, that tokenization is used as a conceptual map to navigate within a vector database.

NOW PAY ATTENTION: A vector database is like a cube. A cubic box.

Inside this cube, the various tokens exist as floating pieces, as if gravity did not exist. The distance between one token and another within this database is measured by arrows called, indeed, vectors.

The distance between one token and another -that is, the length of this arrow- determines how likely (or unlikely) it is that those two tokens will occur consecutively in a piece of natural language discourse.

For example, suppose your prompt is this:

It happens once in a blue

Within this well-constructed vector database, let's assume that the token corresponding to ONCE (let's pretend it is associated with the number 467) is located here:

The token corresponding to IN is located here:

...more or less, because it is very likely that these two tokens in a natural language such as human speech in English will occur consecutively.

So it is very likely that somewhere in the vector database cube —in this yellow corner— are tokens corresponding to IT, HAPPENS, ONCE, IN, A, BLUE... and right next to them, there will be MOON.

Elsewhere, in a much more distant part of the vector database, is the token for CAR. Because it is very unlikely that someone would say It happens once in a blue car.

To generate the response to your prompt, the model makes a probabilistic calculation, seeing how close the tokens are and which token would be most likely to come next in human language (in this specific case, English.)

When probability is involved, there is always an element of randomness, of course, which means that the answers will not always be the same.

The response is thus generated token by token, following this path of probability arrows, optimizing the distance within the vector database.

There is no intent, only a more or less probable path.

The more times you generate a response, the more paths you encounter. If you could do this an infinite number of times, at least once the model would respond: "It happens once in a blue car!"

So it all depends on what's inside the cube, how it was built, and how much distance was put between one token and another.

Modern artificial intelligence draws from vast databases, which are normally filled with all the knowledge that humans have poured into the internet.

Not only that: the larger the vector database, the lower the chance of error. If I used only a single book as a database, the idiom "It happens once in a blue moon" might not appear, and therefore not be recognized.

But if the cube contained all the books ever written by humanity, everything would change, because the idiom would appear many more times, and it would be very likely for those tokens to occur close together.

Huggingface has done this.

It took a relatively empty cube (let's say filled with common language, and likely many idioms, dictionaries, poetry...) and poured all of the AO3 fanfictions it could reach into it.

Now imagine someone asking a model based on Huggingface’s cube to write a story.

To simplify: if they ask for humor, we’ll end up in the area where funny jokes or humor tags are most likely. If they ask for romance, we’ll end up where the word kiss is most frequent.

And if we’re super lucky, the model might follow a path that brings it to some amazing line a particular author wrote, and it will echo it back word for word.

(Remember the infinite monkeys typing? One of them eventually writes all of Shakespeare, purely by chance!)

Once you know this, you’ll understand why AI can never truly generate content on the level of a human who chooses their words.

You’ll understand why it rarely uses specific words, why it stays vague, and why it leans on the most common metaphors and scenes. And you'll understand why the more content you generate, the more it seems to "learn."

It doesn't learn. It moves around tokens based on what you ask, how you ask it, and how it tokenizes your prompt.

Know that I despise generative AI when it's used for creativity. I despise that they stole something from a fandom, something that works just like a gift culture, to make money off of it.

But there is only one way we can fight back: by not using it to generate creative stuff.

You can resist by refusing the model's casual output, by using only and exclusively your intent, your personal choice of words, knowing that you and only you decided them.

No randomness involved.

Let me leave you with one last thought.

Imagine a person coming for advice, who has no idea that behind a language model there is just a huge cube of floating tokens predicting the next likely word.

Imagine someone fragile (emotionally, spiritually...) who begins to believe that the model is sentient. Who has a growing feeling that this model understands, comprehends, when in reality it approaches and reorganizes its way around tokens in a cube based on what it is told.

A fragile person begins to empathize, to feel connected to the model.

They ask important questions. They base their relationships, their life, everything, on conversations generated by a model that merely rearranges tokens based on probability.

And for people who don't know how it works, and because natural language usually does have feeling, the illusion that the model feels is very strong.

There’s an even greater danger: with enough random generations (and oh, the humanity whole generates much), the model takes an unlikely path once in a while. It ends up at the other end of the cube, it hallucinates.

Errors and inaccuracies caused by language models are called hallucinations precisely because they are presented as if they were facts, with the same conviction.

People who have become so emotionally attached to these conversations, seeing the language model as a guru, a deity, a psychologist, will do what the language model tells them to do or follow its advice.

Someone might follow a hallucinated piece of advice.

Obviously, models are developed with safeguards; fences the model can't jump over. They won't tell you certain things, they won't tell you to do terrible things.

Yet, there are people basing major life decisions on conversations generated purely by probability.

Generated by putting tokens together, on a probabilistic basis.

Think about it.

Semisemi nice serve!

NOTICE: As more and more fanfic writers are using generative AI for their works (you uncreative dweebs), I hereby swear on everything I hold dear that I have not and will NEVER use generative AI in ANY of my written work. Everything I post will be organically and creatively my own.

As the self proclaimed biggest fan of Astrophilia (yes I am do not take this away from me Astrophilia is the bomb and deserves all the love in the world) I would like to spiritually reblog this a hundred times and just say that I am not even 30% of the way through Stardust but I. I am shook. I resonate. I am existing on a higher plane. I am in space with these guys (hopefully not for long). I am l i t e r a l l y vibrating in excitement because I have loved Astrophilia 163 days and I will for the rest of my life and this. This is. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Anyways this has been a PSA to read Stardust and Astrophilia because they slap so hard I got transported to their future and lived through this with them. I’m not sure if they survive I didn’t even read the tags. I think they do. They better.

Some months ago I wrote and posted "Astrophilia," a fic that, while not my most popular, inspired a unique emotion in my readers in which multiple people started headcanoning a future in which everything was okay, arguing against the finality of the Captains' fate... And I figured, you know, if these strangers felt so strongly that this was not how this story would end, well... Their boyfriends left behind on earth certainly wouldnt have let it be, either.

Dedicated to everyone who commented telling me they hoped there would be a way to get them home in the future: "Stardust."

ova spoilers-- but man i loved seeing how comfortable langa is at reki's house

kita the savior! & bonus samu:

Banging my pots and pans here once again, the final chapter of A Guide On How NOT To Make Your Kouhai Jealous is up!

I’m supposed to be doing my homework right now! What am I doing? Not my homework. Anyways, listen up fam I have a new fic idea. Got it while I was staring at a beautiful photo of onigiri.

Picture this— Daichi and his four younger siblings, suddenly orphaned during his last year of high school, with his graduation just around the corner. Daichi, now his siblings’ legal guardian, has to drop moving out to go to university with Suga, has to put a hold on his own dreams, to take care of his siblings. He has to do all of this while navigating more grief than his siblings, since he had the most time with their parents— the rest of them didn’t have their parents around as often, Daichi was the “test child” and was more of a parent to the rest of his siblings anyway— and he has to be careful what feelings he show because the second oldest hasn’t started high school yet, and the youngest is six.

Enter Suga: he was expecting his best friend of three years to be going to university with him. They’d planned this for a while now, from which university they were going to attend to which dorm they were going to stay. He doesn’t expect the change. He’s also reasonably distraught at the death of a pair of parents that he loved. He lashes out at Daichi, and Daichi yells back, but in the end, they decide this—

Whatever they do, they do it together. It’ll have its hardships; Daichi’s parents literally just died. But Suga is there to help, and Daichi will never say no to him.
