Are you sure it isn't time for a colorful metaphor

Becca. Ultrageekatlarge on Ao3. Obsessed with fictional plotlines. Overly invested in Star Trek and currently having many feelings about some bats in capes. Emotionally compromised because of sidekicks with sad back stories. 30s. If I’m on here I’m avoiding writing.

The convergence 

[top-cheese]

ok so its a pretty good story but you know what would make it better? a liar. a character who lies. maybe two.

you can take a quick pause from writing to fact-check something on the internet. but watch out

obsessed with mass market paperbacks. their pleasing rectangular proportions. how they fit badly in a hoodie pocket so you can drag them around everywhere with you like a temporary little buddy. the way they fit in your hand because they're MADE for human hands and not as bookshelf decoration. the way the pages feel when you riffle them gently with your thumb. How pristine and crisp they look when you get them and how creased and folded they look when you're done, even if you try to be nice to them. how that wear is okay, how that's correct actually, because they're made with the philosophy that books aren't meant to be PRETTY, they're meant to be read. that little ripple new ones get on the left side from where you hold them when you're reading, the way the ripple only goes as far as you've read, because u change stories by reading as they are changing you. how you can find thousands of these creased and folded and loved little dudes in every thrift store and used book shop and neighborhood library and you can instantly see the ones that someone carried around in a backpack for weeks or read to pieces or gave up on halfway through because they wear being read like fresh snow wears footprints. I love these poorly made, subpar little rectangles so much. truly the people's books.

do you guys remember when we googled something and we would get results that were actually related to the things we searched

“You write the beginning and then you go back and rewrite the beginning, and you never got off page one. It’s kind of a syndrome, and I have a rash piece of advice which is — Go on, page two, page three, and never look back. Get something finished, no matter how lousy it is. […] Perfectionists cannot get going unless they kind of do violence to their own instincts, and just blast ahead.”

— Ursula K. Le Guin, The Last Interview and Other Conversations

The poll feature really took off because it taps into tumblr's favorite activity: being extremely opinionated about things that don't matter

There is no greater bond on this earth than when you all despise and carry untold righteous anger about one person and then when you’re all together someone is like “so about that dead horse” and everyone starts sounding like Michael Jackson with the way they’re chanting beat it

[hiveswap]

big fan of when you peel back all layers of a character and at the bottom of it there's love

I never thought I would be siding with the pope’s involvement in politics and cheering him on. I will say that.

anything u think about YOUR life after 10pm is bs to be ignored. anything u think about a character’s life after 10pm should be posted about online and expanded on for paragraphs. :)

*motivational voice* it is always possible to make things worse for The Character

Friends with benefits. And those benefits? Long insightful conversations about The Characters™️

My gift to you is becoming an unskippable cut-scene.

[elleldoe]

absolutely love abusing the power that comes with 3rd person limited pov and just ignoring things and being vague sometimes. does the character know all the details? no? then I don't have to either.
