I Really Don't Care

Salty, sarcastic and supernatural obsessed

[ratcarney]

hot take: let’s normalize artists being proud of themselves and their work. we’re allowed to think we did a kickass job on something we worked hard on. humility shouldn’t equal self deprecation

Me, writing my book: Wow this is great! I can’t wait to read it over!

My book when I read over it: she frowned a bit, he smiled a bit, they stepped back a bit, I winced a bit, she laUGHED A BIT, WE FLINCHED A BIT, I SNORTED A BIT, HE HESITATED A BIT, WE WALKED A BIT, I READ FOR A BIT, THEY SHIFTED A BIT, I

Me, editing: what the fuck was I thinking

Pssst

Hey, are you an artist or writer with WIPs?

Come here... I got a secret for you pssst come ‘ere

[kittmoon]

waiting in deep suspense

[botwstoriesandsuch]

Psst you ready here comes the secret

Here it comes

[moinsbienquekaworu]

I am also very curious about this secret

[botwstoriesandsuch]

Your time spent enjoying the creative process is infinitely more valuable that any final project you create. So stop putting yourself down for never finishing or posting those WIPs because every moment you spent creating something you loved is a moment not wasted. Your progress and talent is measured by your passion not your number of posts.

This post went from 3k to 7k overnight and that just goes to show how many of you need to hear this so make sure you don’t ever forget it

@unbearable-lightness-of-ink have you seen this and if you haven’t I feel like you might want to

[tanninginparadise-deactivated20]

See this picture? This comes from a town in Canada where a 24 pack of water bottles is 104 dollars and formula milk for a baby is priced at 55 dollars a pack. What’s more, a pack of diapers is 95 dollars and one head of lettuce is 26 dollars. Inuit people are starving in a country known for it’s generosity.

If you don’t believe this is true, you can find more images like this here. This is the only grocery store these people have in their small towns, and many people are going hungry & elderly are dying faster.

You’ll send aid to foreign children that are starving, so why won’t you pay a little extra to feed the people in your own country who work hard & still can’t afford the prices for healthy food for their families?

Please have a heart and reblog this photo to raise awareness that even in our own countries people are starving, join the movement and show the government that we won’t sit by and watch people starve. 

If you think this will make your blog ugly you’re wrong. Children in a first world country are getting sick & starving, and nobody is even aware it’s happening. You can let people know by reblogging and showing you care. People I am close to, my friends and future in-laws are going through this.

Love how little attention this post gets from my beach blog followers.

[scalymaiden-deactivated20180204]

Ok I didn’t think this could possibly be for real, but I found a news source on the matter. This is insane.

[m3nrtrash]

As someone who lives in Canada, I can confirm this as being true :/ things are crazy expensive up North and our government (note Harper) is horrible at helping out with things and has actually faked getting involved before.

[britomartis]

governments hate indigenous people, this is absolutely about anti-native racism. don’t forget that.

[devilishlysweet]

One of the biggest parts of this is that shipping freight is costly to get to Northern communities (Some places get 2 shipments a year for non-food supplies), the second is that in Canada there is a HUGE protest against allowing Inuit people to feed themselves in traditional ways (ie seal/whale hunting). I dont think people realize that the native people’s hunting is a literal drop in the bucket as far as the animal populations go, but make a huge difference within their communities where food is scarce and expensive. Canadians aren’t ignorant to the anti-native sentiments in the government, and people have taken it upon themselves to send groceries to families in Northern cities.  If anyone here is interested in getting involved, Helping Our Northern Neighbors has been operating since 2014 to ship donated goods.

Yep

This isn’t even just Inuit people in Canada this is how it is on a LOT of reservations here.

Time has an interactive feature to discover what your name would be if you were born today, based on popularity of your birth year vs. now.

My name would be Mylah. With all apologies to anyone named Mylah, I am now very happy to be named not Mylah.

[prouwu-deactivated20190721]

this feature also has names for 2016, 2015, the early 2000s, and every 1900s decade going all the way back to the 1890s!

[ashiiknees]

My today name would be Charlotte (a very pretty name, but I don't think it's for me.)

My 2010s name would be Mia (I love this name, but not for me.)

And my 2000s name would be Abigail (which... seeing as it's my middle name, I guess I can't exactly say it isn't for me 😅)

[girlbossfranziskavonkarma]

do people not realize how stupid you have to be to say “representation matters” and then five seconds later be like “fiction doesnt affect reality” you are literally saying two different viewpoints

Being an angst writer:

[allthezipofnukacola]

Honestly, I really side-eye people who say shit like, “I hate all hetero romances. If a guy and girl kiss, I totally lose all investment.”

Male-female pairings are not all the same and I’m kind of sick of people acting like they are. Similarly, I’m sick of people forgetting that there are LGBT+ people in male-female relationships.

[allthezipofnukacola]

I see white LGBT+ people say shit like this about positive male-female relationships between POC and I legit GROAN.

[allthezipofnukacola]

I saw someone say the relationship in If Beale Street Could Talk didn’t interest them because it was “hetero nonsense” as if young, poor black couples dealing with unjust incarceration regularly get positive, healthy representation.

[allthezipofnukacola]

If you’re tired of love stories focusing on relationships between traditionally attractive, able bodied, neurotypical, white, cishet people–especially when they’re void of chemistry and commonality and abusive but pushed as ideal (see: The Notebook)–then, I totally get it. I am, too.

But if you disparage a positive, healthy love story that features marginalized people because it’s between a man and a woman, your grasp of things like representation and intersectionality is likely weak.

it could be worse. you could be 5′1″.

how to properly structure a query letter!*

Dear [Agent], 

[An optional brief introduction, no longer than 2 - 3 sentences, perhaps where you elaborate on the #ownvoices of your manuscript, or pointing out certain things in your manuscript that the agent asks for. I reiterate that this paragraph is optional. Unless you have a very specific reason to be querying this agent—for instance, if they tweeted an MSWL for a heist novel and you’re querying a heist novel—there is no relevance, so don’t include this paragraph.]

[The first paragraph of your summary introduces the world, the main character, and their Normal. For instance, Cynthia lives in the times of a pandemic and works to continue living in their new normal. Every day, Cynthia choose to get up and keep living and making the most of their situation while trying to find something to do to be useful.] 

[The second paragraph of your summary introduces the plot. To continue with the above idea, Cynthia has been tasked with trying to find a cure to coronavirus, but all they have to work with in their home is duct tape, tangerines, Tylenol, and a never-give-up attitude.] 

[The third paragraph introduces stakes, aka what will happen if Cynthia doesn’t discover a cure with the resources they have at home. Luckily for them, however, a woman named Jane they had a one night stand with needs a place to crash after she was evicted. Cynthia agrees to let her stay as their roommate, especially because Jane brings with her the missing ingredient to the cure for coronavirus, a magic bean she stole from a giant–but there’s only one magic bean. If Cynthia and Jane can’t find a way to make more beans, they might be sent to the realm of giants forever.] 

[The closing paragraph goes like this: Complete at 89,000 words, THE MAGIC BEAN is an Adult contemporary fantasy with potential for a companion novel. I believe it will appeal to fans of Erin Morgenstern and Naomi Novik. Briefly explain who you are and share what you’re comfortable with about yourself—I say I’m 26, headed to grad school for archiving, and that the book is #ownvoices for genderqueer representation. Also mention if you have any connection to the publishing industry. I mention who I was previously represented by, why we amicably parted ways, and that I’ve mentored in many writing contests.] 

[Final closure: Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you again!] 

[Best,]

[My name]

[My phone number and, though optional, my twitter handle] 

*i’ve been in the publishing industry for nine years now, have mentored many authors who went on to be published by the Big 5, and worked in writing contests to help writers, not only with their manuscript, but with their pitch and query letter and comps etc. i know what i’m about 😉

[targsdaenerys]

the complaints about the diversity in bridgerton astound me. “simon was described with piercing blue eyes” “i love black people, but segregation wasnt lifted in england at this time, they would all still be slaves” “wouldnt mind the diversity, but its not historically accurate.” 

honey. you are saying these complaints as these character waltz to instrumental Bad Guy by billie eilish in dresses and suits that are colors that didnt even exist yet adorned with plastic sequins and glitter. historical accuracy was not their goal. just say youre racist and go.

Fire Lord Zuko passing a law that forbids challenging anyone under the age of majority to Agni Kai

Fire Lord Zuko waiting until the day he reaches the age of majority to pass this law, lest anyone think he is a coward

(No one. Literally no one would have thought that, but it’s generally regarded as a very classy move regardless)

[constallayetions]

Wait but also, until then, if anyone under the age of majority is challenged

Zuko fights it for them.

Which, especially in more rural towns (where Agni Kais are less of a public event and more of a fast and violent duel) is terrifying because you challenge your neighbor’s kid over a stolen chicken-fish and all of a sudden the Fire Lord is showing up???

But, those few who still challenge those who should be kids learn quickly to regret it.

[grayblebayble]

Okay but this implies that Zuko knows whenever someone challenges a kid to an Agni Kai and is there before the battle takes place.

Firelord Zuko: *wakes up in a cold sweat near midnight*

Firelord Zuko: *running down the palace hallways while still struggling to put in his pants, being chased by his team of bodyguards* I’M GOING TO HING WA ISLAND TO KICK SOMEBODY’S ASS SEE YOU IN A WEEK BITCHES

[enbyzukostanblog]

Random spirit: Why’d you do that to him? Isn’t it kind of a stretch for a mortal to be blessed like that?

Agni himself: I felt like it

[csme]

# please;  the fire lord bursting in on some random house in a rural village: ‘square up motherfucker’;  zuko has two fists and 3 hours worth of sleep and he’s ready to kick some ass;  avatar;  atla;  queue;

That’s nice but the post was by a bi person upset at bisexual erasure

[n3wfaceoffailure]

[donkdonkdonkdonkdonk-deactivate]

Not to mention the exclusion of so many het relationships with trans people but that’s besides the point.

Let bi/pan/poly people have their relationships represented too, regardless of if they’re hetero.

[goblinbuckets]

 Even if you aren’t Bi, or Pan, or Trans, or Ace. You should be able to ship what you want. I’m a lesbian, and If i think a man and a woman are cute together? So be it. I don’t have to prove im a ‘good’ lesbian by only shipping pure, wholesome, 100% same sex ships
