you literally have shitty hide armor and a dull ass shortsword. let me guess. your loot is 6 gold coins too? 🙄

[vodka-and-fedoras]

friendly fucking reminder do NOT post about your lootdrops publicly!!! this post is a great example of "table baiting" to get you to reveal what valuables you drop on death WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY PUTTING YOU AT RISK OF FARMING!!! think for a second and be safe out there!!

this is my first time in the pacific northwest. we drove through a forest so wet and foggy you couldn’t see the bends in the road ten yards ahead of you and it straight up felt like a horror game until we emerged into a sunny valley with a rainbow over it and then we went to a taco bell and in it there was a guy dressed like a hot dog and a guy dressed like hamburger. is it all like this

also love negative reviews cause a solid 8/10 theyll drop something that reads like it was actually written by harry irl

It's my cat's birthday (anniversary of me getting him) so I told him the story of his life while petting him real good

Highlights include:

For your first two years (when you were small) you lived in a foster home with people who raised you into a very polite young man. Two is like you plus me, that's what two is.

Some people adopted you before me and they called you Timmy (which is a stupid name) and they returned your ass almost immediately because you were so annoying at that age.

Like think about how annoying you are right now at seven years old, but way worse.

I'm better than them though, I don't call you Timmy and I wore earplugs to bed for three years because you love to scream at bedtime. Earplugs are like when I roll over and go back to sleep even when you are yelling so so so loud.

I got you at a time in my life when I was really sick (being sick is like when I'm up late because I'm throwing up and you are a very handsome good boy who sits with me) and they had to put me asleep for a procedure. A procedure is like what happened to you when they put you asleep and took your balls away.

Now you've lived with me for five years. Five is like the number of toe beans on one of your feet. When I clip your nails five is when we're halfway done. But we're hopefully not even halfway done with how long we get to be together. I'm gonna have to figure out new ways to help you count.

hey now

[t00thpasteface]

sorry to everyone out there who thinks they have the funniest tshirt but i think i can confidently say i just saw the actual funniest tshirt just now. i passed by a beautiful black woman with long multicolor braids blowing majestically in the beach breeze & she was wearing an oversized tshirt that said in gigantic letters "WHITE BOY OF THE YEAR"

baru cormorant somehow some of the best and most gratifying lesbianism ever put to page even though at ~300 pages in she is still strictly celibate and barely even allows herself to acknowledge when she's in a homoerotic situation except to note that it's "risky"...baru I'm obsessed with you

[dykeselfcest]

like could definitely be considered a form of repressed lesbianism, but in fiction I'm better acquainted with the variety in which the character is actively lying to themself, refusing to acknowledge it internally, etc. and I really enjoy this variant of like. she's making a conscious, strategic, calculated decision, but part of that involves maintaining a careful, intellectual distance from her own desires.

from a writing perspective I am also really impressed by the ability to get this across in the aforementioned homoerotic situations without resorting to what is a go-to shorthand for myself and many other writers, descriptions of bodily responses that the character attempts to ignore/resist. it communicates that level of detachment soooo well and I think it takes a lot of skill to create these fraught situations and have what is actually fraught about them be expressed almost tacitly.

also just personally I feel very Seen by her visceral reaction to considering actually being with a man, even for purely strategic reasons. the bit about her body rejecting the concept. in that I know a lot of other lesbians who are in the realm of like "I could do it for a while if necessary even if it's not what I actually want out of life" but for me it has always been an instant discomfort that I can't overcome, which was present in various forms even when I thought I wanted a boyfriend etc.

[dykeselfcest]

I also think it's very successful at communicating lesbianism that is both relational and individual, which I think is how many/most people experience it! fictional narratives frequently focus on falling in love with a single person as the locus of Awakening, which I think is partly just because it's easy to write—and if you have a ready-made partner you can accelerate the timeline a bit because either you have someone to guide you or you have someone to take the journey with. but for many people it's not about being interested in a single person at all; it's about your own responses and desires, an internal understanding of yourself that is about who and what you want, but not in the sense of a specific person.

get yourself a gang who’ll help you bury the body of the creature that came out of your dreams, representing your internalised homophobia, and tried to kill you

Writers, which software do you use?

Google docs

Microsoft word

Ellipsus

Libre office - writer

Notepad (the fuck is wrong with you lol)

Pages

Other (comment, please, esp if you recommend it)

Checking results

Remaining time: 9 hours 29 minutes

I used to use Google docs, but the white mode only was really annoying me (tires my eyes), so I swapped to Ellipsus (which I genuinely love and recommend), but it was bothering me a bit that I need wifi in order to use it, so now I switched to LibreOffice Writer, which I do like.

It very much has a Microsoft Word feel, but is open source and you need no accounts to use it. It's local on your device, so no AI can scan it, and no wifi is needed.

I still wish it had the Google Docs cards, because, bitch, that thing is so good for easy organizing.
