For two weeks after October 7, I was unable to focus on my translation work. […] My volunteer work with Road to Recovery came to a full stop. […] Two weeks after the present war began, I took the plunge and again began driving children to hospitals.

Male Viera WoL finds Zenos’s giant pile of gay Viera epic poetry. As in, homoerotic epic poems created by Woodwarders for a Woodwarder audience that were collected later. When asked/confronted about it, Zenos openly admits that not only has he been collecting them for years, there is one in particular he’s self-inserted on repeatedly.
Or: WoL finds out that Zenos really wants to be the Gilgamesh to a hot bunny Enkidu.
Zenos being a freak about the WoL (and in general) should be something the WoL is into, but otherwise I’m open to fills coming at this from angles I may not expect. Sex optional.

I’m really surprised this hasn’t been prompted before. With those names? Come on…

An alternate version of the School of Astronomy questline where Jeromere takes the ‘exposure therapy’ approach to Jude’s social anxiety. He drags Jude to his ‘poetry meeting’ and things escalate, ending in Jude getting gangbanged.
Possible additional suggestions
- Just absolutely ruin this twink. He can barely think of his own name afterwards and he’s come more times than he can count.
- Jeromere acting like he’s used to just getting randomly groped at these things
- Jude’s as turned on as he is terrified by all the attention on him.
- One of the other group members pushing Jeromere around and making him perform acts on Jude while they watch.
- (HQ delivery option) This somehow helpes Jeromere and Jude restore their earlier relationship without needing to discover a whole new star over it.
Venat and Sappho having sex in the lush Elpis fields.
+ points for sweet, tender sex ++ points for Venat attempting to wax poetic (and failing) much to Sappho’s bemusement.

If you ever wondered what the world and the political landscape would’ve looked like if Ayn Rand had a heart instead of a hollow ribcage, Gertrude Stein might have the answer.

Code poetry is built on a simple premise: it is a single text that reads as poetry and executes as code.

This lesser-known form of poetry plays with both the immense capabilities and the restrictions of a computer to manipulate language and create original works of art. There is a wide net of works that can be categorized as computational poetry, and it becomes tough to define it as just one thing. Some works play with language as form and create visual poetry. Some works destroy language all together and force the viewer to make meaning in seas of algorithmically choreographed letters. Other pieces create more traditional poems by utilizing programs to fill in poetic templates and create works that go on forever.

The 19th-century poet, whose verse still resonates with its open-ended sense of how language produces meaning, is a model for a group of Brooklyn coders inventing a more humane computer.

This passage occurs as part of an argument that it’s possible to port videogames between platforms without changing the underlying game design (an argument that I ultimately agree with). However, I think that Emily Dickinson is—for reasons I’ll get into shortly—an inopportune choice as an example of a poet whose work “can survive a transcription.” In fact, I think Emily Dickinson’s work is an example of how, in fact, nothing survives transcription, and that’s the statement that I set out to prove in this talk. But along the way, it occurred to me that the converse is also true: nothing doesn’t survive transcription, and that the tension between these two seemingly opposite claims actually informs and explains them both.

No matter what, though, I argue that “information retrieval” is—despite how LLMs are marketed—is one of the least interesting and reliable things you can do with them. It’s mostly interesting, as described above, a “common wisdom” sampler to examine the common narratives that show up repeatedly in the corpus.

I am on the latest Poetry version. I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate. If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option). OS version and name: L...
