Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.

Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!

Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.

[sandersstudies]

Modern writing advice: Yes your protagonist should have flaws but ultimately we should root for them and like them from the beginning :)

Charles Dickens: Here is the worst ugliest rudest meanest nastiest bitch you’ve ever met in your life.

[sandersstudies]

Modern writing advice: Make sure your POV character goes through a significant arc! Make sure they are changed by the narrative! Make sure they learn a lesson!

Narrators of every book of the 19th century: the lesson I learned is these people fucking suck, sayonara you freaks

[sandersstudies]

Modern writing advice: It’s all about the character overcoming obstacles and learning! They learn their lesson so they can fix their mistakes and make good choices in the future! It’s a character arc! It’s called growth! Readers love it!

Everyone from ancient times through the 19th century: would you like to watch a Guy fuck up twenty times in a row

my girlfriend is able to take like a 20-min nap and bounce back with full energy. idk how she does that. when i lie down i wake up 12 years later in a hospital bed i rip the IV out of my arm and stumble into the hallway the whole building is littered with bodies, i make my way back to my house but my wife and children are long gone

fucked up how colors look different depending on what screen you’re looking at them on. that should be illegal I think

[broskepol-deactivated20221009]

this fucking shit, you know

[bogleech]

I spend so much time carefully picking and adjusting the colors in every single drawing I make that I’d probably lose my mind if I didn’t just repeatedly push this out of my memory and pretend it’s not a thing. Why am I reblogging a blank empty post that doesn’t say anything??? Weird

[gaysheep]

good news! you can’t make sure that everyone will see the correct colors on their own device, but you can make sure your monitor is as accurate as possible for printing and sharing by calibrating it! 

there are a bunch of free monitor tests, but here’s an easy one you can use. the passmark and eizo tests are also pretty good, though passmark doesn’t work in your browser. be warned that some tests may cause eye strain.

you can either use the settings built into your monitor itself or use the display color calibration settings in your operating system to adjust the settings until everything looks correct, and then enjoy your accurate colors.

REBLOG TO SAVE A LIFE

“she’s got legs for days” pfffft not impressive. i;ve had mine for years

calm down please

^_^ and >_< and also o_O and also T_T as well as >_> btw. if you care -_-

[txttletale]

i'm so glad someone else was bitchy about that post bc i couldn't be bothered to when i saw it. the reason that literacy rates in the usa are poor is because of rising inequality and also because kids are just straight up being taught to read wrong. not because of fucking fanfiction or YA or 'puriteens' or whatever the fuck else is the bugbear of the week for people who still stake their self esteem on their high school english grades

The Massive Effort to Change the Way Kids Are Taught to Read

“A lot of times the teachers have no idea that they’re not teaching things that are beneficial to the kids”

The left in this country is so fucked you have no idea

[kaiserin-erzsebet]

Absolutely speculation on my part but: I wouldn't put it past the Count to notice that the first mate is Romanian (one of the peasants he speaks about with such disdain), and to intentionally leave him for last.

After all, who can be more afraid than someone who actually understands the situation?

We know how much he enjoys inflicting terror, and I imagine terrorizing those he sees as peasants who should treat him like their lord is something he enjoys even more.

I dont think the joker chemicals really did all that when he fell in. I think he just wanted an excuse to be like that

[thebuttkingpost-deactivated2021]

Joker: the joker chemicals made me crazy

Arkham doctor: that was a mild detergent

Joker: heehee hoo ha ho hee hoo

My little brother would get 2 liter bottles of orange soda (my absolute favorite) and every time he had some, mark the level on the bottle with a sharpie because he was convinced I was going to steal it

so I’d pour myself a glass and top off the 2 liter with water

[little-miss-mash]

One night I fucking knew my brother was gonna drink the rest of my coke can so I finished it off, poured soy sauce in it, then went to bed. I could hear his disgust all the way from there and it was sweet sweet vengeance.

Getting inspired to write is actually really easy! All you need to do is be the busiest you've ever been in your entire life and as far away from a computer as humanly possible. Hope this helps 🥰
