This is a big deal for Korea. In most Asian counties, if you’re not like a size 2 you might as well be a fucking hippo and it has a huge effect on women’s self esteem.
Hey this is very nice!

They are so cute tho oh my gosh work
oh ur a homophobe? cringe. *stamps on your head until you die*
oh ur a transphobe? cringe.*stamps on your head until you die*
To people who use "þ" as an aesthetic "p"
þink again.
getting thorny in the linguistics fandom
þorny*
That also goes for using ß as an aesthetic B.
On my old server, there was a character named ßillyßadass.
This never failed to make me laugh, because that letter is not pronounced like B. It is a sharp S.
That guy named himself SsillySsadass.
Also to people who you Σ as an aesthetic E
that’s an S too, Σo maybe check next time
oh boy
Д as an aesthetic A? Дon’t be a дumbass.
И as an aesthetic N? don’t be sillи.
П as another aesthetic N? stoп it.
У as an aesthetic Y? ty bad.
Ш or Щ as an aesthetic W? nope. it’s “sh” and “shch”!
Я as an aesthetic R? surprise! it’s “ya”.

I saw in Japan a bag of marshmallows named SCANDINAVIAN MÅRSHMÅLLOW and I still have not recovered from that. It reads as SCANDINAVIAN MORSHMOLLOW

Very good trope: Cartoon characters having grown long beards to signify a lot of time has passed, regardless of how nonsensical it is for them to grow one.
Even better trope: It turns out it’s a fake beard they’re wearing just because
Absolute best trope: It turns out a comically short amount of time has passed (like five minutes or something)
lets talk abt architecture in worldbuilding: a hopefully helpful post
PS: this is the first “tips” post i ever made, so sorry if it’s confusing/not really that heplful!! if you have questions, please know that my ask box is always open!!!
i’ve seen posts abt worldbuilding giving tips on how to worldbuild everything: From religions to magic systems to languages, but i’ve never seen anyone talk abt architecture. so here i am, trying to do it:
the only thing you need to keep in mind: architecture is directly related to your world’s culture
you can’t tak abt greece without talking abt the temples. you can’t talk abt people from egypt without talking abt the pyramids. god, you can’t talk abt the the way people lived their lives without somehow talking abt where they live.
if you tell me that your society that depends on the sea and it doesn’t has ocean symbology on their buildings, houses, and possibly temples, im going to laugh at your face. if you tell me that your society is a war centric one, but you don’t translate it by having your “war schools” being the biggest/most important buildings, that’s stupid. maybe your society is very into politics, so tell me, where do they together to discuss and participate in it? you get the point: just like everything in your setting, your architecture will be related to where your society is from, the philosophic believes they have, and mostly their routine.
things to keep in mind when worldbuilding your architecture

Honest question: Why do pop culture references work and get a laugh in things like Shrek, but in others they just come across as just being lame and forced? What makes a pop culture reference work?
I think the thing with references in general is that they need to either a) work on their own even if someone DOESN’T understand the source material and/or (preferably and) b) are brief enough that someone who doesn’t understand them most likely won’t notice them, instead of stopping the story shut in its tracks for a minute so you can wink at the viewer and say “geddit? eh? eh?”… metaporically speaking.
Example: in Shrek 2, Shrek sees an old poster in Fiona’s old room in the castle.
When I was a kid, I genuinely didn’t recognize that this was supposed to be Justin Timberlake, because I wasn’t that up on celebrity stuff (and he already wore a full beard at this point). But I still smiled, because even if you DON’T recognize the celeb it still is a solid joke even without that, narrative is still easy to recongize that Fiona as a tween had a crush on some male celebrity, and it ties into character development of Shrek feeling insecure because he’s not human - so it fullfills point a).
And in addition to that: that shot? It lasts for THREE SECONDS. It’s a quiet scene (except for music), noone makes any mention of that poster, there’s no dialog or callback or anything. If you don’t get it, you miss absolutely nothing. So it fulfills point b) at the same time.
True, and even the longer references (like the scene in Shrek 2 where Fairy Godmother sings “I need a hero” and you get that whole Godzilla Cookie bit) don’t actually impede the story, because there’s still stuff going on. Most of the time, when a reference falls flat, it’s because the movie stops in its tracks or doesn’t advance the plot, which tends to get on the nerves of viewers :P
another example: in Meet The Robinson’s, when Wilbur says his dad looks like Tom Selleck and we’re given this picture for a fraction of a second among a bunch of pictures of goofy cartoon characters:
now as a kid this was hilarious bc come on, thats not a cartoon character, thats just a man!!! and it’s absurd and only there for a second. and then i learned later that his dad is actually voiced by Tom Selleck and GOD THATS HILARIOUS
pop culture references usually just fall somewhere on a spectrum from “funny” to “obnoxious,” with “boring” smack dab in the middle

this is a shot in the dark but if anyone can help us with our rent that would be really great. no one can get my larger commissions and I've started to try and move onto twitter but I could still use the help
Im still applying to jobs but none have contacted me back but I'm still trying. If we can pay our rent before the 7th we can stay. anything helps. Anything. Commissions are still open and even though I've been behind due to catching up on bills after my last roommate left I can still do them
my PayPal is [email protected]

Acing pacing in your writing
I’ve read too many books and watched too many shows where pacing has ruined a good story. So, here are some of my tips for getting pacing right:
1. Don’t take too long to get to the inciting incident
Look, showing the ordinary life of your protagonist might be interesting if there’s something strange about their life, but readers want stuff to happen.
At least with genre fiction, you shouldn’t take too long to get to the action - the event that gets the story going.
If you can do it well and have readers invested from the start, you can start with the inciting incident. However, for most works I would recommend having it in the second chapter.
Your readers want to know what the story is about, not what the character thinks of his English teacher
2. Keep it moving, but don’t rush
Action is important. It drives the story and it’s interesting. You should make sure to put enough action in your work. Things should be happening.
BUT a novel is not a play or a movie or a comic. What makes reading a full-length novel so entertaining is the detail. The in-depth characterisation and description. The emotion and thought processes.
So, keep it moving, but don’t sacrifice the juicy details. Don’t skip from one action or dialogue scene to the next without taking your readers deeper into the intricacies of the story and characters.
It’s a delicate balance that can only truly be found by reading a lot and practicing.
3. Avoid a sagging middle
Your beginning is solid. Your end is exciting. But the middle is a chaotic mess that bores the reader. Trust me, it happens more than you might believe.
Sagging middle syndrome is a thing, and the only way to avoid it is to plan.
Look, I like pantsing, but planning the middle of your novel will help your pacing exponentially.
Make a rough outline of what needs to happen to get your characters to the climax. Add a few lighter/character-driven scenes where there are too many action scenes in the sequence. Remove events which are unnecessary. And make sure that everything makes sense!
This counts for second books in series as well. It should be good on its own, not just as a filler.
4. Don’t fast forward to the end
I’m looking at you, Game of Thrones.
If you’ve built up the story and set up everything for the final big bang, you have to deliver.
Keep the pacing somewhat similar to that of the rest of the story. Your readers have gotten used to it. And if they’re still reading at that point, they probably like that pace. Don’t write a relatively slow book and then have the climax be over in three pages.
I know you want the climax to be exciting. So, yes, make it a little more fast-paced than the middle. But not massively different.
5. Trust your characters
As with every aspect of creative writing, character is most important.
Is your character experiencing the scene quickly and choppily? Or are they slowing down and taking in everything?
If you stick with what your characters are feeling, you will get it right.
Look, exams have fried my brain. So, this isn’t the most well-formulated post I’ve made. But I hope that it can be helpful.
