site that you can type in the definition of a word and get the word

site for when you can only remember part of a word/its definition 

site that gives you words that rhyme with a word

site that gives you synonyms and antonyms

[bumblebeebabie]

THAT FIRST SITE IS EVERY WRITER’S DREAM DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I’VE TRIED WRITING SOMETHING AND THOUGHT GOD DAMN IS THERE A SPECIFIC WORD FOR WHAT I’M USING TWO SENTENCES TO DESCRIBE AND JUST GETTING A BUNCH OF SHIT GOOGLE RESULTS

[isabellaofparma]

‘don’t you want your favourite character to be happy???’ no? i want my favourite character to be interesting. i want me to be happy. which sometimes involves my favourite character being in exquisite agony

It just dawned on me that I created this oc at least 20 years ago….

[abendrothbw]

This blog turned 6 last month.

I wish I had chapter updates….

[metanarrates]

if your immortal character doesn't have some extremely unusual relationship to gender you're doing it wrong btw

[abendrothbw]

With Abendroth, it’s… complicated. Ok, so he’s not exactly immortal, but he’s got the potential for living forever, and he’s somehow managed to live past 650, so far.

He identifies as a homosexual man, and he is male, but everyone tends to think of him as more like a woman. Partly because the males of his kind typically look more “masculine”, and he has such soft, “girlish” features. He keeps his hair really (very, very) long, and he buys tops and pants/trousers/jeans that fit him well, regardless of what department they’re from.

Also, his mother and older sister taught him how to do gardening, cooking, and cleaning (against his father’s wishes) when he was little. He does hunting (still with bow and arrow), fishing, and trapping… but still gardens, cooks, and cleans, too.

When people question his gender, he gets a bit annoyed. He gets defensive about it. And when others explain their confusion, he says that they have far too narrow a view of gender roles. That he doesn’t have to fit someone else’s idea of what it is to be a “man”.

This picrew… and the best I could do with my oc, Aby….

Goodness, he looks so young there.

Things that are a fanfic writer’s responsibility:

The category for relationships (Gen, F/F, M/F, M/M, a combination, something else)

The right category for ratings (is it for General Audiences, Teenagers, Mature, Explicit, R-Rated, Nc-17?)

The relevant warnings (violence, rape, underage sex, anything else you deem relevant)

The relevant tags on it (what relationships are covered in the fic? What characters? Is it light and fluffy fic? Funny? Sad? Dark? Does it have sex, and if so, what kind? Is there violence? Tags are used by readers to find fic and to avoid fic)

A summary that informs the reader of what kind of fic they’re gonna read.

Author’s notes for everything else. You can use the summary or author notes to explain certain tags, or add caveats, or thank your beta’s.

Things that are not a fanfic writer’s responsibility:

Kids stumbling across your fic and reading your fic and assuming that whatever is written about in the fic is 100% cool and normal.

The mental health of people who don’t like the subject matter of your fic.

[formallyfreya]

I got 99 problems and being responsible for your competent use of the internet ain’t one.

[abendrothbw]

This goes for original character writings/content posted online, too.

Be nice if I ever get back to writing his story....

[abendrothbw]

I think this actually arrived in my inbox yesterday.

[caffiend-queen-deactivated20260]

I’d laugh harder but this is uncomfortably accurate.

[lostinfantasies38]

Oh look - I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.

[grizabellasolo]

Just @ me next time

[abendrothbw]

Right now, I’d be happy if I had something new for people to read.

[holorifle]

here is a super helpful website for this kinda thing!

the first result isn’t always the one you’re looking for but when you press enter it’ll give you a ton of words related to your query that’ll probably have what you’re wanting, or something better

here’s some examples:

[dragons-arrow]

I NEED THE ITALIAN LAST NAMES SO BAD

[ebvoice-deactivated20150727]

We are like fireworks…: Surnames Master Post.

[abendrothbw]

I’ll have to see if they are categorized by when they first appeared in history....

[paperheart-girl-deactivated2023]

I saw @gdrawsthings doing her OC Vicky with this, so I had to join as well! Here's me with antlers and tentacles cause why not. There wasn't my hair color in this either but hey what can I say. Here's the editor !

If they want to, I tag @nighttime-tea-party (I think you might like this one dude) @m-illustr @luci-on-the-moon @girl-star-bastard @abybweisse (I saw you tagging me last time so I'm reciprocating!!!! 💜). But if somebody else wants to, do it as if I tagged you!

[abybweisse]

Thanks! I tried Aby B. Weisse (my oc) and Undertaker. For Undertaker, I sent it to Layout and flipped the image, so the facial scar and braid would be going the right way.

I’ll tag @shinigami-mistress and @lalottered for now.
