I love imagining that every eridian welcome committee comic takes place in the same universe and that grace just never said anything about it.

He doesn’t call them out on it cause that might mean that they will actually research phrases more and second guess themselves a lot. And that would mean the cards would stop. Which would be a shame.

But like this he gets a fun little puzzle every week or so where he tries to guess what the committee is trying to say this time. He can rate the cards on funniness and clarity!

I’d like to think that he explains what a lot of them sound like towards the end of his life after having received thousands of cards filled with innuendos and catcalling. The committee doesn’t emotionally recover for the rest of their lives.

I imagine Grace gets a few that he can't figure out at all and he constantly toys with asking the ewc to explain but that would risk alerting them to the fact that they make mistakes which would ruin everything.

He has them sorted by Sexual Come-On, Accidental Death Threat and ?????

Do you knit or crochet? I think you would fit in well.

hey everyone, just curious:

what is everyone's criteria for blocking people?

[dr-gaytorius]

1st base: raw ethically dubious fucking

2nd base: exist in a public space together

3rd base: you witness me have a real, candid emotion

4th base: I reveal an aspect of my tragic backstory to you

Writer Gothic

-You discover a new document in your “completed” folder. It’s 20k words of fantasy and adventure. You have no memory of writing it.

- You take a sip of your coffee and set it down to type. After a moment, you take another sip only to find the cup empty. You have written ten words.

- You go to take a shower and discover writing on your skin. Dialogue, character description, tips for edits. You don’t remember bringing pen to flesh.

- The cursor blinks at you. You blink back. Time stretches as you blink, back and forth, back and forth until, at last, you both stop blinking entirely. Nothing gets written.

- The same word appears three times in the same paragraph. You edit them out, only to find them, again, three paragraphs down. You close your laptop and decide to go shopping. You stare at the word flashing by on the way to the store. You feel followed.

- Your pen carves vicious corrections onto a printed copy of your story. Later, you will not remember the way you grit your teeth while editing or why calling a character effervescent is “superfluous.”

- There are words scrawled on receipts, on post its, on torn out scraps of paper all over your room. You recognize your handwriting on most of them and choose to ignore those bits in handwriting you do not.

- Your mom asks about your day. You do not know how to explain the exhaustion in your bones or the way your neck aches with the weight of eyes you’d tried to leave on the page  or the way your fingers are still typing phantom words against your thighs. You tell her nothing happened.

- Your roommates are concerned. You have not spoken in days. You wonder who it was you were whispering to last night as you scratched out another outline at the kitchen table.

- Your computer screen goes dark while you stare at your last sentence, trying to think of where to go next. You did not know that your lips could curl like that or your eyes could look so black.

something something extremely sexy when magic users resort to physical violence. yeah i have the power of god and anime on my side but i also have THESE HANDS. i cast Punch You In The Face. i take my magic staff through which i channel the vast energies of the elements and the cosmos and i cast Severe Concussion And Skull Fracture. casting time for xenoglossy too long, chose the quicker route of Stab You In The Throat.

“why are you getting frustrated with your characters? you write them, they can do whatever you want”

NO THEY CAN’T. this little fuckers have some psychological power over me i CANNOT MAKE THEM DO SHIT

[crazysodomite]

It's always "how would this fat character be strong and athletic"

And not "how would this dehydrated skinny character even survive with the amount of physical exertion they go through"

[redstonedust]

its good to acknoweldge the hollowness of revenge but sometimes you really do just need a story about someone who gets hurt and then kills and kills and kills and kills their enemies. its cathartic, babey.

[awesome-chameleon]

"there's nothing that can bring my loved one back, so there's no point in killing you" and "there's nothing that can bring my loved one back, so there's nothing that can save you" are two themes that can and should co-exist

just saw an instagram post asking what disney villain you'd spend a year as if you got $300M out of it and someone replied that since sw counts as disney now, they'd be vader

literally snapped me out of my nighttime scrolling because i'm sorry i don't think $300M is worth even a moment of THAT

[izamon]

Ffs pls

You want to live in a star war anyway??? Half of Disney villains are fucking, magical queens of entire nations, AND you're getting paid for it

So lucanis has that line abt house arainai embarrassing the shit out of themselves re the grey warden contract and like. It's even funnier with a romanced zevran. Imagine you send an assassin after someone and not only does he fail horribly but he's. Literally married. To the person he was supposed to kill. How do you fuck up that bad i love him
