I do love a good classic.... They and/or Them

[cassoftroy]

To all 3 people who follow me and/or view my content I've decided to start a wonderful new thing! I'm trying to write more stuff and so, for inspiration purposes, I'm going to open asks. If you have an idea you wanna see me write (poorly) just pop it in there. There is no guarantee that I will write it at all ever or that this will work but hey ho, I think it'll be fun.

In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

Taylor Swift does this

[godlessondheimite]

no she doesn’t

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

realizing a headcanon of yours happens to make an element of canon even more heartbreaking when you hadn't even considered it from that angle previously

I don't know who needs to be told this, but you don't need to unpack your shit in public. Like, yeah, you can reach out to people undergoing a similar crisis in worldview in private or anonymous channels, but if you do it all on TikTok or whatever, you're just making a spectacle of yourself and you should expect people to react as they would to any spectacle

Thinking of this viral TikTok of a 3× Trump voter who's now deconstructing her support for MAGA and who is breaking down because commentators are saying they'll never forgive her for her past and it's just like...girl, you don't need to vlog this. You don't need to stand in the village square loudly declaiming your sins for all to hear. You don't need to be in public on camera all of the time. There must be an ex-Trumper reddit or something if you don't have a support group in real life, but This Is Not the Way.

Deconversion is a very personal process that you do need to go through alone, but you also very much do not need to go through it with a billion anonymous strangers on the Internet watching you and judging.

#there is no less sympathetic audience than the internet folks#do NOT confess your sins to a bunch of strangers that specifically revel#in the opportunity to indulge in their impulsive responses

i hate the way fat antagonists have their weight moralized and used as a metaphor for greed and corruption and i hate the way it's overcorrected into fat people being "soft squishy friend-shaped cupcakes who look like they give incredible hugs" and i long for the day we have nuanced, interesting, and complicated fat characters and most of all i long for the day people are normal about fatness

How do people write to such a high word count, I max out at 700-1500 before giving up. I would love to learn but every resource I find assumes I have entry-level knowledge ( I don't. )

[official-impravidus]

word count tips from a guy who has over 2 million words on ao3

- first of all, you’re doing great. 700-1,500 words is a lot more than you are giving yourself credit for. i can write 1,500 in an hour and a half on a good day. that’s a lot of time!! especially for someone who has other priorities in life other than fanfic.

- writing stamina is real and is an actual “muscle” that does grow and strengthen with repetition as time. it’s something you can expand and build with practice.

- don’t get too wrapped up in perfection. get words on the page and don’t get in your head about if they’re the right ones. you can fix garbage but you can’t fix nothing.

- write what excites you. i know nonlinear writing is sacrilege to some people so this may not work for you, but for me personally if i get stuck, i just jump to something i want to write. sometimes that means writing out only dialogue that i add to later. sometimes it means several paragraphs of world building. you’ll be surprised about how much you end up writing if you don’t adhere to the structure rules and add stuff later.

- don’t feel pressured to write it all at once. most of the greatest novels were written over the course of months, even years. sure, there are authors that can crank out 10k in a day (i’ve done it - it’s killer and i was exhausted after) but having realistic goals can help.

- to add to that, setting achievable goals is also important. don’t shoot for the stars just yet or else you may find yourself feeling disappointed. give yourself small checkpoints that you can have mini rewards for.

- when it comes to brainstorming and outlining, i find making a list of plot points and character beats with no specific order that i then organize later into a sequential outline is helpful. outlines are another way to have a tangible proof of your progress

- don’t burn yourself out on one project. breaks are important and so is nourishing your mind

its 1am so thats all from me for now! hope this helped
