Behind My Writing

I'm 30. I often post adult content so 18+ only. This is another blog to help keep my writing blog for mainly my writing. brightsun-and-darkmidnight is where the writing happens

[brightsunanddarkmidnight2-0]

Welcome to my crazy, mostly disorganized blog that is held together by some tags to try to organize things. Not sure if the tagging system has been fixed but I try.

I often throw things on here dealing with the MCU. I enjoy the MCU, even if I am critical of the newer projects. I love to write -that is on my other blog @brightsun-and-darkmidnight. I promise it is organized with masterlists so things are easier to find. 

I enjoy playing some video games. I love music, it is on constantly. If it is quiet, I will hum and whistle and tap on surfaces, even snap my fingers -my family calls me a noise maker. It is accurate.

I have two dogs, Midnight and Taz. Sometimes I share some pictures of them! I love dogs so you are absolutely allowed to tag me pictures, videos -whatever of dogs.

Hey someone suggested I use ChatGPT to figure out adulting today, and as I was going through the mental list of places I'd rather look, I realized "beloved strangers on Tumblr dot net" was on that list.

So if you have an aspect of adulting that you're really good at-taxes, budgeting, cooking, insurance, credit, time management, house upkeep, anything-please feel free to reblog with any tips.

Am walking through Manhattan, there's a woman who can't be more than 25 in a big fur coat, walking with a cane, angrily saying into her headpiece "I want them them destroyed," I feel like an extra in a movie

dadwallet: a condition in which you let your wallet fall apart and disintegrate without ever considering getting a new wallet

[brightsunanddarkmidnight2-0]

When I notice my dad's wallet falling apart I buy him a new one for that birthday. He won't buy a new one. My grandfather leaves everything loose in his pocket, I tried to buy him an Elvis wallet(he loves Elvis) but he said it was too nice and won't use it.

We're experiencing some severe weather warnings for parts of the new Tornado Alley these next couple of days, so I have some storm safety tips from someone who lives on an open plain with almost literally no natural windbreaks:

1. Have fun and be yourself

2. The tornado is more afraid of you then you are of it

INSTAGRAM | YOUTUBE

[not-your-average-url]

I miss when ads were a single click and then they’re gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesn’t even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.

I hate advertising. I hate that you can’t do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that there’s nothing I can do about it.

Tiny Grammar Cheatsheet: Hyphens, En, and Em Dashes

Hyphens ( - ) are the shortest and are used to: ‣ link elements in a compound word: dog-owner ‣ separate some affixes from the rest of the word: pre-election ‣ (sometimes) take the place of the en dash indicating range: pages 24-66 ‣ indicate stuttering or abrupt interruption: M-m-micheal? ‣ spell out a word letter for letter: I said we are c-l-o-s-e-d.

En Dashes ( – ) are shorter than em dashes. They indicate a range and could usually be replaced with "from" and "to": ✓ I lived in New York 2015–2020. ⭤ I lived in New York from 2015 to 2020. But: ✗ I lived in New York from 2015–2020.

Em Dashes ( — ) are longest. They are used: ‣ to call attention to the content they separate from the rest of the sentence and emphasize it ‣ in place of commas and parentheses: When he finally apologized—after four weeks of silence—she was no longer interested in hearing him out. ‣ in place of a colon, especially to summarize, explain, or expand upon the preceding clause in a dramatic manner: After months of deliberation, the jurors reached a unanimous verdict—guilty. ‣ to summarize or note the common link in a list: Sweet, sour, salty, bitter—all tastes the cook loved to experiment with. ‣ to set off or introduce defining phrases and lists: The shop's selection of three flavors—strawberry, mint, and chocolate—was never enough variety. ‣ to indicate a new direction: I agree with you, but James—he felt otherwise. ‣ to indicate hesitation: Well, I think—Yeah, I guess it is concerning.

Fun Fact: en dashes received their name because the dash is the length of the letter N, while the em dash is the length of the letter M.
