There Will Be Typos

Caitie. 30s. She/her/hers. Interests include classics, socialist theory, queer characters and a variety of fandoms (wot, merlin, tlt, danmei, yoi, one piece, dunmeshi, etc.), witchcraft, horror, science, cults, animanga, social dancing, figure skating, and niche fandom drama. My politcal opinions range from: decentralization of power in social structures should be an essential human ethic and direct action agains't property to protect humans and ecosystems is always justified to yes it is praxis to vote strategically in US elections and it's cool when DSA endorsed candidates win. Juggling hyperfixations. Prone to rants and rambles. If I follow you it’s probably because I thought your url was funny. Queue is untagged and only occasionally empty. Obies, irl friends, and mutuals encouraged to say hey. PSA: —idol inspo— is a tag for a dystopian novel concept I’m working on. Which is why there’s weird and horrible stuff with that tag on it. PSA PART 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i spam wheel of time stuff every wednesday if you don't want to see it blacklist the tags 'wot' and 'wot show'

I think I should start bragging about my adopted son’s achievements when people around me start bragging about their kids. Ooooh your child can count to 10 in mandarin? Well, my child found 110 landmines! And he’s only 6 years old!

I <3 HeroRats, I've been following them for years and they're still one of my favorite things

(I also <3 rats, and used to have pet rats, so admittedly I am super biased, but they're such sweet babies! Forget the anti-rat propaganda!)

You can adopt a baby yourself here ;)

There are also HeroRats saving lives by sniffing out tuberculosis, illegal wildlife trafficking products, and survivors of natural disasters during search and rescue operations! (source)

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.

#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.
