I start where the logic ends

28, Polish, Slytherin, ISFJ. I love puns, books, comic books, fantasy, science fiction and silly movies. Also, video games. Here's pretty much anything that caught my attention, so it's a big mess, really.

Because shockingly when people enjoy what they do (you make it enjoyable instead of just hammering on them) people WANT to do things!

THIRD BASE

Since I was 8 and found out about this for the first time my family has always followed up on someone saying “I don’t know,” with shouting “THIRD BASE”

That animatronic video is great for people who may not be as familiar with the game of baseball, too. The different positions, and such.

repeat after me:

crying is a HEALTHY release of emotion AND a great way to complete the stress cycle

[fairyfawm]

[image description: an infographic titled "what happens when we cry". black text on an orange circular diagram, with arrows pointing to show the order of events, reads:

"the painful trigger -> we are overwhelmed with emotion -> our amygdala (emotional centre) is activated -> the brain sends a signal to our nervous system -> tears are an involuntary response -> their purpose is to help us regulate -> pain killing chemicals are releasing -> mood boosting chemicals are released".

in the middle of the diagram is a white outline of a person with a red heart in the middle. end id.]

writers:

break up your paragraphs. big paragraphs are scary, your readers will get scared

fuuuuck epithets. “the other man got up” “the taller woman sat down” “the blonde walked away” nahhh. call them by their names or rework the sentence. you can do so much better than this (exception: if the reader doesn’t know the character(s) you’re referring to yet, it’s a-okay to refer to them by an identifying trait)

blunette is not a thing

new speaker, new paragraph. please.

“said” is such a great word. use it. make sweet love to it. but don’t kill it

use “said” more than you use synonyms for it. that way the use of synonyms gets more exciting. getting a sudden description of how a character is saying something (screaming, mumbling, sighing) is more interesting that way.

if your summary says “I suck at summaries” or “story better than summary” you’re turning off the reader, my dude. your summary is supposed to be your hook. you gotta own it, just like you’re gonna own the story they’re about to read

follow long sentences w short ones and short ones w long ones. same goes for paragraphs

your writing is always better than you think it is. you just think it’s bad because the story’s always gonna be predicable to the one who’s writing it

i love u guys keep on trucking

[what-are-even-humans]

I know theres a lot of writers following me and this is some solid advice folks

[writing-is-a-martial-art]

^^^This!

Also, may I add:

Simple is okay. Simple is better than compicated.

If you don’t know the fancy word, there’s a 90% chance the reader won’t know the fancy word.

If you’re writing in your second/third/etc. language and you’re shy about it, don’t be! Be proud! You’re doing something amazing and your words matter

Names will come at some point. Having [character B] retrieve [McGuffin] from [location] during [holiday] is a-okay, don’t worry about it!

You’re still a great writer, no matter how many typos you make of what your writing speed is.

That’s it. Here. Have a quill for good luck.

“In an experiment revealing the importance of having friendships, social psychologists have found that perceptions of task difficulty are significantly shaped by the proximity of a friend. In their experimental design, the researchers asked college students to stand at the base of a hill while carrying a weighted backpack and to estimate the steepness of a hill. Some participants stood next to close friends whom they had known a long time, some stood next to friends they had not known for long, and the rest stood alone during the exercise. The students who stood with friends gave significantly lower estimates of the steepness of the hill than those who stood alone. Furthermore, the longer the close friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared to the participants involved in the study. In other words, the world looks less difficult when standing next to a close friend.”

— my new favorite psychological study, done by Schnall, Harber, Stefanucci, and Proffitt and published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.

Boromir: So Sam is short for Samwise

Frodo: that’s right

Boromir: and Merry is for Meriadoc

Frodo: correct

Boromir: what about Frodo?

Frodo: what about me?

Boromir: is it short for anything?

Frodo: oh, it’s -

Merry: Frodomulent. It’s short for Frodomulent.

Frodo: …………………yes. yes it is.

[penny-anna]

*much later*

Merry: hey Frodo

Frodo: yeah

Merry: did you ever tell Boromir your name isn’t actually Frodomulent

Frodo:

[penny-anna]

Pippin: there’s only one solution to this problem

Frodo: and what’s that

Pippin: you’ll just have to change your name to Frodomulent effective immediately

Pippin: to save face

Frodo: …………….

Frodo: no.

[penny-anna]

Faramir: Frodo

Faramir: if you do not change your name to Frodomulent, I would consider that a most grievous insult to my brother’s memory

Merry: don’t worry, we’ll still call you Frodo for short

Gandalf: I shall only call you Frodomulent

Frodo, lying face down on the ground: blease…. i saved middle earth… why are you bullying me like this……

[magmapriest]

Sam: *You* saved Middle Earth, Mister Frodomulent?

HOW ARE THEY DOING THAT

[atlanxic-deactivated20250205]

sometimes you say or do bad things while you’re in an awful mental place. sometimes you say things that are rude or uncalled for or manipulative. and i’m not going to hold that against you. mental illness is hard, and no one is perfect. but once you’re through that episode, you need to take steps to make amends. you need to apologize.

“i couldn’t help it, i was having a bad episode” is a justification, not an apology.

“i’m so fucking sorry, i fucked up, i don’t deserve to live, i should stop talking to anyone ever, i should die” is a second breakdown and a guilt trip. it is not an apology.

when you apologize, the focus should be on the person you hurt. “i’m sorry. i did something that was hurtful to you. even if i was having a rough time, you didn’t deserve to hear that,” is a better apology. if it was a small thing, you can leave it at that.

if you caused significant distress to the other person, this is a good time to talk about how you can minimize damage in the future. and again, even if it is tempting to say you should self-isolate and/or die, that is not a helpful suggestion. it will result in the person you’re talking to trying to talk you out of doing that, which makes your guilt the focus of the conversation instead of their hurt.

you deserve friendship, and you deserve support. but a supportive friend is not an emotional punching bag, and mental illness does not absolve you of responsibility for your actions. what you say during a mental breakdown doesn’t define you. how you deal with the aftermath though, says a lot.

This is the most carefully-nuanced discussion of this I think I have ever seen. Thank you for writing this.
