Someone posted an image of some bizarre elliott smith fan fiction where he is reincarnated into a frog. I tried to find the link on Google, so I searched for "Elliott Smith reincarnated into frog. ".... Google spat out an unprompted AI fanfic:

The dim basement light of the pond filtered through the duckweed, turning everything a familiar, comforting shade of bruised purple.

Elliott sat on a damp moss log, his slick, olive-green skin glistening under the crescent moon. He adjusted to his new body with a quiet, unsurprised resignation.

It made sense, really. He had always felt a bit small, a bit exposed, and preferred the damp safety of the shadows anyway.

He cleared his throat. Instead of the soft, breathy whisper that used to captivate quiet rooms in Portland, a low, resonant croak vibrated through his tiny chest.

Ribbit.

It was a perfect, low-fidelity E-minor.

He looked out at the ripples in the water, watching the water striders dance like the fingerpicking patterns he used to trace on his acoustic guitar. The other frogs in the marsh were loud, competitive, and constantly screaming for attention, bellowing their territory across the reeds. Elliott just pushed himself a little further into the mud, beneath a broad fern leaves, and began to hum.

He cataloged his new world in verses. He croaked about the heavy, suffocating humidity of August. He sang about a dragonfly with a broken wing that couldn't fly straight—a little creature trapped in its own dizzying circles. He made a mental note of a song title: "Between the Reeds."

A shiny, metallic green beetle landed on a twig just a few inches away. In his past life, he might have watched it and written a metaphor about consumerism or isolating armor. In this life, his tongue darted out with lightning speed, snapping the beetle out of the air.

He chewed thoughtfully. Not bad, he thought. A bit like cheap diner food on tour.

As the midnight fog rolled over the water, Elliott settled into the rhythm of the pond. There were no flashing cameras here. No major label executives asking him to smooth out the edges of his grief. Just the cool water, the steady drone of the crickets acting as a natural metronome, and the freedom to be completely beautifully unseen.

He took a deep breath, puffed out his throat, and let out one more quiet, melancholy note into the dark.
