I love characters who are like "I'm a terrible person" but when you look closer it's more like

"I adapted to survive something and now I don't know how to stop being that version of myself."

Haven't seen Project Hail Mary yet but I'm a huge fan of when people draw those little rock guys like this.

being extremely out of the loop especially regarding social media trends and discourse means you often end up learning things only after they've been turned into memes like ten times removed from the original context. for example the first time I ever read the term "girl dinner" it was on a gif of the T-Rex from Jurassic Park eating people so you can imagine the confusion when some time later I stumbled upon posts where people were hating on it and calling it gender essentialist

i really wish simple things weren't so complicated within fandoms. a character can be problematic but interesting. a character can make a mistake but not be evil. a character can hold a position of authority and still be a victim. a character doesn't have to be perfect and pure and innocent to be a victim. a character doesn't have to be perfectly pure for you to like them. liking a character who's fucked up doesn't mean you support their every action. why is this so complicated

I feel bad that I'm not convinced that the superhero fatigue isn't a real thing or Marvel's back just bcs the new Spiderman did really well in theaters if only because Spiderman has basically been everyone's favorite superhero for decades now and Spiderman movies don't even have to be good to rake in ridiculous amounts of money. And I say that as someone who loves Spiderman and will watch just about anything he's a central character in.

Like dude...there have been enough Spiderman reboots in the last 30 years that we can have one Spiderman movie with 3 Spidermen and another where nearly every major character is a Spiderman of some kind as well as a major game franchise with at least 2 Spidermen in it. The people want one thing and it's a webby lad suffering more than jesus while cracking jokes like his life depends on it. Much like Georg, Spiderman is an outlier and should not be counted.

That's my friend Spiderman!! I saw a kid with a skateboard ask him to do a kick flip on it and he tried and tripped and slammed his face into the sidewalk. I'd die for him.

SEPARATE CHURCH (AO3) AND STATE (TRADPUB)

The reason you can't be the next J R R Tolkien isn't because you don't have the talent, but because you're not the right kind of unwell. Tolkien wasn't bent for fantasy worldbuilding; he was bent for constructed languages, and got into fantasy worldbuilding in order to provide a material context in which to ground the notional evolution of the languages he invented. If you want to be the next Tolkien, you can't start with the worldbuilding; you've gotta find something extremely specific to fixate on, and develop it in such depth that inventing a world to contain it is genuinely the most logical next step.

[prokopetz]

#the best route is clearly to get really into a specific kink scenario and invent a world to justify it (via @salix03)

That's not even a joke. Developing a kink scenario so elaborate and so excruciatingly particular that it can only properly be contemplated in the frame of a world created specifically to contain it is genuinely closer to Tolkien's actual creative process than 99% of the stuff that plays at being heir to his legacy.

opened up ravelry to look at patterns and the very first thing i saw was

The Garment by Robert Cole

[ariaste]

I’m not entirely sure why I chose to make the first The Garment bottom-up—it almost certainly makes more sense for sizing, etc., to make it top-down—although I will say that casting on 300 stitches for the bottom of a The Garment feels like quite a leap of faith into the great unknown.

this is the only person who should be writing pattern descriptions actually

To be kinder 🌱

I will forever be weak for Spawn Astarion x Redemption Durge, because just the thought of two morally questionnable/evil people inspiring each of other to be better, kinder and grow (and who clearly heals through it) MAKES ME UNWELL 😭

@indimiart said they're like that one scene in Twilight where they're lying down within the forest's glade and I cannot unsee it now LMAOO 🙄 ✨ Astarion's skin could start glittering under the sun at any moment now ✨

i legiterately always feel like that person on reddit who posted "is it weird if i go on a walk like is everyone gonna be freaked out". i feel like that every minute of every day
