unironically one of the funniest things i think ive ever seen on this fucking website and yes im going to reblog this like every other day
My advice to people, but especially kids, who are invested in celebrities, be they actors, musicians, bloggers, youtubers, authors, whatever, is to keep your distance. No matter how happy their content makes you, no matter how strong the pull of a special interest/hyperfixation/obsession might be, it’s important to step back every so often.
Do you find yourself following them on all forms of social media? Do you follow their friends and family, who might not even make content themselves? Do you research their lives? Step back. Just because they are famous doesn’t mean it’s okay to engage in stalking behavior.
Do you find yourself getting anxious if you miss a video, or they upload off schedule? Step back. I know they can help you through dark times but you can’t rely on them all the time.
Would you be devastated if they turned out to be a not-so-nice person? Step back. You can only trust them as much as you trust any stranger. Don’t see yourself up to be shattered if they fall off that pedestal you put them on.
No matter how much somebody interacts with their audience, the relationship is still parasocial. Just keep that in mind. Don’t put all your trust in a stranger. It’s okay to enjoy these people and their content, but keep your distance and step back.
anyone else remember being 13 on tumblr and every morning youd scroll down until you got to posts from the night before like it was the morning paper
Writing a Believable Family: Information You Need
So today I thought I’d help out myself and anyone else who’s writing something where family plays a central role, seeing as a lot of people write about families but I barely see any posts about it!
Families are really fun to read about (imo), but often hard to write, as each family has a different dynamic that you really need to get a hold of. It’s easy to get discouraged because sometimes your fictional family might feel like strangers when they interact with each other. So without further ado, here are some questions and prompts to help you get to know your characters’ families.
Questions
Who is in this family? Are they all important characters?
How big of a role does this family play in the story? The theme of family in general?
Who looks the most like who? What general physical features do they all share?
Who is closest with each other? Who feels more distant?
What is a tradition this family has?
What holidays does this family celebrate? What religion do they practice?
What does this family always fight about?
Are all the relationships in this family healthy? If not, what makes them toxic?
Who is in charge or seems to have the most authority?
Is there a social hierarchy within the family? Who generally seems the coolest to the others?
Does this family travel a lot together? Where do they go?
What was/were the older generation(s) like before the younger generation(s) were born?
Has anyone in this family died? How did this impact the others?
Do members of the family have different politics? How does this affect the family’s relationship?
How much do your characters value their family?
What movies does this family watch on movie nights? What movies do they refuse to watch together?
What role does extended family play in this family’s life? (Ignore if the family you’re writing about is an extended family.)
Who argues the most?
What personality traits does the family share?
What makes this family unique?
What did/does the younger generation do for fun as little kids?
If this family had a vacation home, where would it be?
Who looks up to who?
Prompts
Write a conversation at the family’s dinner table.
What was the most disastrous family reunion/outing? Write it.
Try making a character web (shown in this post) for the family.
How does the rest of the family behave when one member graduates?
Write the script for everyone’s favorite old home video.
Draw a family tree. See how many generations you can go back.
Write each family member’s favorite family memory.
Describe how a family road would trip play out.
This family becomes the family fighting in Walmart. Describe how this happened.
The family is known for their top-notch annual ________ party. Write one such party.
Have a character from the family give your reader a “tour” of the family home.
Who got drunk at the last reunion? What ensued?
A character from the family is going through their favorite family photos. What are they? Why do they like them? What is the story behind them?
Imagine that this family has one huge family scandal in its history. What was it? How did people react when they found out?
A character has been hiding a secret for years, and their family finds out.
at least bokuaka can celebrate summer even if I can’t <3

Idk who needs to hear this but some characters just hate eachother. No hidden love. Yeah sometimes people just do not like eachother.
For those who wish to not be horrifically scarred but want a summary the notes are roughly:
1. Tom and Jerry discourse/ People pointing out how much Tom and Jerry discourse there is
2. Dramione and 1 person explaining the concept of Starkid’s musicals and how they affected the Dramione ship
3. Various anime ships like bnha durarra and jjba
4. People missing the words “Some characters” and people trying to explain the concept of “some”.
5. That one user who wrote the traumatizing phrase (spelling copied exactly) “safe-informed-consentual-kink vore fetish” in regards to tom and jerry.
