Reblogging because it’s a damn potato and I want to encourage people to assume potatoes are magical.

You are a Wood-elf, anyway, though Elves of any kind are strange folk. Yet you comfort me. Where you go, I will go.

I love and admire coyotes; their ability to survive, adaptation, and tenacity has been nothing less than inspirational. They've always been here, and will still be here.

#you ever read a poem written 2000 years ago and think to yourself#'it's a shame martial never knew about twitter'

saying this all the time tbh. those bitches would have loved social media

[astynomi]

Not just the poetry. Quintilian wrote a whole thing on how Cicero would have been the greatest orator but he just couldn't restrain himself and HAD to make a joke. Completely serious speech persuading the people to sabotage a law that was in their interests and he'll throw in, 'Juba, a young man no less well endowed in money than he is in hair.' He really called the king of Numidia a rich twink. He would have been banned from Twitter. And rightly so.

[wynnyfryd]

if you’re not rereading your own 3yo one-shots every once in a while so you can shake your head at the ao3 tab and mutter god i’m fucking funny then what are we even doing all this work for?

[flootzavut]

Except if I'm writing as a gift (and sometimes even then), I'm writing for my ideal reader.

My ideal reader is me.

SLEEPING BEAUTY (1959)

[fullest-circlest]

If you're writing 18th century dialogue, this website lets you search words and phrases to double-check whether they were in use & meant what you intend. It doesn't include every period-accurate use of a word/phrase, but it certainly helped me separate genuine 18th century grammar from the vague tangle of 💬old-fashioned fancy-speak💬 I've internalized from TV and video games.
