.

we're not going to make it

we will make it

it'll take too long to rebuild ourselves

we will make it

but what if we don't wake up in the morning

we will make it

i don't see a future with me in it

we will make it

we'll give up long before then

we will make it

im scared

i love you. we will make it

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

Ursula K. Le Guin — Ursula on Writing: A Rant about "Techonolgy"

Ursula K. Le Guin on the presence of technology in her work

The whole piece is short and worth a read.

Help someone told me about a rude person and I guess she wanted to say narrow-minded but also had cold-hearted on her brain so she said "he was so narrow-hearted" and I've been whispering it to myself ever since. Narrow-hearted. Narrow-hearted. Narrow-hearted. An indifference or unwillingness to be kind or helpful to others borne by a general inability to relate to others or judge based on context and individual information.

A game with a dark and quirky fairytale vibe - not in the "Grimm versions were the originals akshually" style, or in the "what if we took the disney version and made it SiCk AnD tWiStEd?" style, but in the real old style, where dark and scary things happen sometimes, seemingly for no reason, and that's just what life is like, and sometimes the only way that there's any goodness in the world is by being good, even when it's inconvenient, not fun, or you simply really didn't want to.

And instead of princesses and monsters, the quest of the game is rescuing your stepmother from your evil dad.

current pet peeve is when the first line of a review is in regards to "spice level" ESPECIALLY if the book isnt romance or erotica
