I dont fucking understand anything anymore.

Is my brain okay? Am i okay?

How did the world get to this point? How are we watching genocides happen in real time?

Is this really it?

Getting fired for bullshit?

Paying an absurd amount of money for rent?

Barely having access to healthy food?

I am so fucking anxious, man. So unbelievably anxious and scared.

I have noone besides my sister but how can i rely on her when she’s got her own shit to figure out?

How can my parents look the other way and shrug when i ask for help? Then berate me for not asking for help? Then berate me for needing help at all?

What the actual fuck am I supposed to do here?

I have nothing. I have noone looking out for me. Im so fucking alone.

God i wish i’d just die. Nothing brings me any happiness anymore.

Miscommunication Prompts

A character avoids eye contact because they’re nervous, making the other believe they’re hiding something.

A character mistakes someone’s distraction for boredom, assuming they’re not interesting enough.

A character misinterprets kindness as pity, making them defensive.

A character uses a phrase that has multiple interpretations, and the listener takes it in the worst possible way. (“I took care of him.” “You WHAT?”)

A character pulls a harmless prank that spirals out of control until it’s too late to take it back.

The audience knows that two characters are talking about completely different things, but neither of them realises it (dramatic irony).

A character gives a vague or hesitant response out of nervousness, and the other person takes it as rejection.

A text or letter meant for one person gets sent to the absolute worst possible recipient.

A character asks another to do something simple, but their interpretation is wildly different.

Two characters remember an event completely differently, leading to an argument where both are convinced they’re right, but what actually happened is something neither of them recall correctly.

Someone shrinks away from a touch due to past trauma, but the other person assumes it means rejection.

Writing Advice for Brainstorming

Mix genres and time periods: Experiment by combining elements from different eras or genres to create unique settings and narratives.

Use "what if" scenarios: Pose unexpected questions (e.g., What if time travel operated on emotions rather than mechanics?) to spark novel ideas.

Draw from diverse mediums: Engage with art, music, or even scientific papers to inspire unexpected plot twists.

Embrace absurdity: Let illogical or surreal ideas guide you; sometimes the wildest thoughts lead to compelling stories.

Reverse clichés: Identify common tropes in your favorite genres and deliberately invert them to create fresh perspectives.

Incorporate personal anomalies: Transform your idiosyncrasies and personal struggles into rich, multi-dimensional characters.

Use mind-mapping: Visually plot your ideas in a freeform way to uncover hidden connections between disparate elements.

Rachel Corrie and Aaron Bushnell

They sacrificed their lives for the just cause of Palestine.

The palastinians will never forget them.

And Tom Hurndall, in 2004, January 13, Israel killed Tom while he was protecting a Palestinian girl in confrontations with the occupation forces.

In our hearts forever, guys.

This comment was in response to Israel accusing the ICJ court of "antisemitic biases" after they delivered their ruling.

[mysar-cophagus]

Don’t forget that Isre@ls holocuast survivors live in poverty.

They do not care about antisemitism, they care about a genocide scapegoat

[starlightshadowsworld]

As always, the Irish speak nothing but facts.

How many more innocent civilians have to be killed by Israel before you condemn that for it?

That is a genocide.

That this is a crime on all accounts.

And deserves to be punished to the full extent off the law.
