Emotion Emulator

Someone who uses AI to mimic vulnerability or emotional depth in personal essays, crafting stories that sound heartfelt but are entirely fabricated. This person submits essays that feel emotionally manipulative or AI-scripted.
She wrote about overcoming adversity, but the story didn’t match her life. That’s Emotion Emulator behavior.

Template Tactician

Someone who manipulates assignment templates to look like original work, but never actually engages with the content. This person rearranges example sentences, swaps synonyms, and adds filler to meet word count without adding substance.
The assignment asked for original analysis, but the submission was just a synonym-swapped version of the template. That’s textbook Template Tactician behavior—surface edits, zero depth.

Prompt Zombie

Someone who mindlessly feeds prompts into AI tools like ChatGPT without engaging in critical thinking or reflection. This person relies on AI to do all the intellectual work, resulting in soulless, shallow content and a total disconnect from the learning process.
The essay was flawless, but the student couldn’t explain a single paragraph—classic Prompt Zombie move.

Citation Cycler

Someone who uses AI to generate citations without reading the sources, often recycling the same few references across multiple assignments. This person includes outdated, irrelevant, or misquoted sources just to meet citation requirements.
The same three articles showed up in every paper—Citation Cycler strikes again.

Perfection Pressure

The social or internalized demand to hide flaws, emotions, or individuality in order to meet unrealistic standards—often imposed by family, coaches, teachers, or social media. It cages authenticity and fuels projection, burnout, and shame.
He got a 98 and still felt like a failure. That’s perfection pressure talking.

Adventure-Equipped

Describes a person who possesses the three essential resources for meaningful travel and exploration: health, wealth, and time. Being adventure-equipped means not just dreaming about experiences — but having the actual capacity to pursue them.
She says she wants to hike Patagonia someday, but she’s not adventure-equipped — no PTO, bad knees, and barely making rent.

Asynchronous Hearts

Asynchronous hearts describes a relationship dynamic where emotional availability between partners is misaligned — one person is open, ready, and seeking connection while the other is closed off, distracted, or emotionally distant. It’s not about lack of love, but about timing that never quite matches.
Her former husband texts his ex-wife a heartfelt message, hoping to reconnect. He’s in a place of healing and openness. She reads it, feels the weight of it, but isn’t ready to respond. A week later, she sends a warm reply — but by then, he has pulled back, unsure if the door is still open. They keep missing each other emotionally, like ships passing in fog. A classic case of asynchronous hearts.
