The five types of writers block
Inspirationless: where you have the motivation but just canโt think of anything good to write.
Motivation Deprived: you have the idea, but just, donโt really wanna.
Pooped: Basically you have no ideas and donโt really feel like writing anyways.
Procrastination: Where you are SO PUMPED TO GET THIS THING DONE!! But, thereโs that other thing, and, your show is on, and, youโll just do it tomorrow.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
Writing update: words are still hard
Iโve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? Itโs the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word โsuicide.โ
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, โPass the URL of the blog on to us.โ
5. Type in the userโs URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USERโS LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isnโt a joke, and neither is someoneโs life. If you didnโt know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
why on earth doesnโt this have more notes
I actually had to do this once. She lived.
if you scroll past this on your dash you are absolutely heartless.
Reblog this!! This can save somebodyโs life!
reblog.
help.
do not scroll down.
I SWEAR TO GOD IF ANYONE SCROLLS PAST THIS WITHOUT REBLOGGING I WILL LITTERALLY FIND THEM AND GIVE THEM A LECTURE
may I just update this?
see the little thing that says help?
Donโt ever scroll past this post. FUCKING NEVER SCROLL PAST!!!
๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ
Anyone know where it is on mobile ???
You report the user, choose โsomething elseโ, scroll down and choose โsuicide or self harmโ
DO NOT SCROLL DOWN
REBLOG TO LITERALLY SAVE A LIVE
PLEASE REBLOG
Please donโt scroll past this post, you could save someoneโs life.
SAVE A LIFE
this. reblogging this on my largest blog for yโall to see this
HOW DO YOU DO THIS ON A MOBILE DEVICE??
everyone please reblog this no matter how big or small your blog is
An Actual Writing Tip From An Actual Author
Wow holy shit Iโm gonna actually give you guys an actual writing tip, being a published and award winning author and all.
Anyways, a great way to work in TOTALLY UNRELATED little details about your setting or what have you that may or may not be relevant later on is through the use of metaphors, euphemisms, etc. in character dialogue.
โThis cold is terrible! Iโm wearing more layers than an Aenirian bride!โ
Congratulations, you now know something about Aenirian marriage customs. You might not even know what exactly an Aenirian is, but you know that their brides wear lots of layers.
See where Iโm going with this?
also even though it seems like common sense little details add so much depth and flavour to a story even and maybe especially when those details arenโt plot relevant
not everything in the real world connects neatly and seamlessly with everything else; there are TONS of loose ends in real life because thereโs an entire world that keeps going regardless of one particular person or groupโs drama
having proof of a world outside of and utterly unconcerned with the main conflict is such a nice touch and a really quick way to breathe life into dialogue
Excellent addition!
โชbodyguard romance trope: โ โ โ โ โโฌ
โชbodyguard romance trope but it's gay: โ โ โ โ โ โฌ
never in my entire life have i wanted so badly to scream at something
If only I wrote as often as I think about writing.
slow day today in terms of just doing shit but i am doing shit so thatโs a good thing i guess? did a good chunk of plotting and worldbuilding for regents so i will now proceed to scroll through tumblr and forget that time exists

hi everyone, my name is rae. iโm a 21 year old writer looking for my own space to place my thoughts and projects. iโm a student studying english literature. i try to write in my free time, but lately iโve not been feeling up to it, so hopefully writeblr can get me back on track. iโm not new to writeblr at all, so this is like a return post!
in the past, i used to write a lot of teen fiction/romance, but iโve since evolved to enjoy fantasy, all kinds. i also enjoy horror, literary fiction, and quality fanficiton. everyone is most likely gay.ย iโm working on two WIPs, one is called THE SILENT ONES, and the other is called THE PRINCE OF GATAR, which is just a shitty placeholder name until i come up with something better.
i have other WIPs that will be introduced later. but for now, i need writeblrs to follow and content to adore. please help me SIGNAL BOOST this post, and i will do my best to follow you all back! canโt wait to meet you all!

Wings in real life:
The wings vary in size from elbow-span to full arm span and bigger and sprout from the shoulder blades
They also vary in colour and pattern
Thereโre stereotypes for wing type
Just generic stuff like bigger wings = bigger genitals
But also stuff likeย โpeople with crow wings are untrustworthyโ
Wing type and size can run in the family
โYea, I got my dadโs colouring but my mumโs patternโ
People find different wing types attractive
โDamn! Look at the wings on that guy!โ
So there are bad pick up lines
โIโd ask you if it hurt when you fell from heaven, but with those wings, I doubt you could!โ
New wing-related body language
People put their wings around their loved ones protectively or romantically
Wings expand to their full width when their owners are threatened
Flared wings = intimidation
People hide behind their wings
Wings change as people age
So there are younginโs who are insecure that their wings look different than their peers
And this leads to the sexualisation of over/underdeveloped wings
Because wings wonโt make humanity suck less
Wing growing pains
Sex-ed includes a part about wing growth and care
People missing one or more wings
Mostly in accidents or birth defects but removing someoneโs wings can be a sign of dishonour
So there are prosthetics
There are some that match wings nearly perfectly and others that are bright and colourful to show pride in the missing parts
And other wing related disabilities
Some people canโt close up their wings to their back so they need aids to keep them from stretching too far out while indoors
Stimming by wing flapping
Rapid wing flapping is such an autistic stereotype that people do it to mock others and its listed as one of theย โtelltaleโ signs of autism
Itโs not actually anymore common than any other stim, people just care more about it cause it causes the most property damage
Wings spasm and restless wing syndrome
The kid who sits in front of you in math has a wing spasm and hits you in the face
Imagine your OTP
Cultures where people cover their wings for the sake of modesty
Wing accessoriesย
Like, can you not see a kid putting a good couple dozen tiny plastic clips and ribbons in their wings
Or flowing wing scarvesย
Wing fashion models
Dying of wings different colours
People change the colour of theirs to another natural colour like a darker or lighter shade of brown
But also people dying their wings 14 shades of purple
And there are different patterns that can be dyed into them
Hairstylists but for wings
Wing cosmetic surgery to change their shape
Getting gray feathers in wings with age
Male pattern loss of feathers
Buff dudes and gals with absolutely ripped wings
Gendered wings
Certain wing shape being considered masculine and some feminine
TERFs doing the wholeย โHow to tell if X is trans by wing shape/size/colourโ
Of course, this is all bs
Especially since different races have different wing typesย
Its all just racist, sexist, transphobic bs
It is very rude to touch someoneโs wings without their permission
Depending on the context and place touched, its even assaultย
Getting to touch the underside of your partnerโs wings with your hands is the equivalent ofย โsecound-baseโ or something
And close friends hug each other and cuddle into the inside of each otherโs wings
โJessie gives the best hugs. Their wings are just so softโ
โPlease keep your arms, legs, and wings inside the ride at all timesโ
Man-spreading but with wings
Just people with wings in general
Can you tell I think about this too often
Types of Dark Academia characters, according to their outfits
The narcissist with lots of secrets: Black turtleneck, with a gold coin necklace over top. A tartan mini skirt, or checked trousers. Trench coat. Red lips and dark eyes. Books in languages no-one else understands. Thinks theyโre better than you, and probably are.
The messy researcher: Cosy jumpers with shirt collars poking out. Slouchy tartan trousers. Dark socks and oxfords. Old-school messenger bag bursting with various notes and journals. Has started about 30 projects or books in the past week, and hasnโt finished any of them.
The garden party prep: Sweater vests. Pale khaki trousers/chinos, or a traditional white midi dress. Socks pulled up. Boat shoes. Expensive watch. Might play some cricket or croquet later.
The student dreamer: Knit cardigans over knee-length skirts or pinafores. Mary-Janes or ballet flats. Bouncy hair and wide eyes. Sometimes a beret. Likes autumn, and writing long letters.
The aspiring professor: Tweed. Wears suits to class. Coats and blazers waistcoats and undershirts and trousers/skirts, all in tweed or tartan, browns and greys. Kind of intense. Secretly on the verge of a nervous breakdown, but at least they have great notes.
The edgy poet:ย Oversized, unbuttoned plaid shirts or blazers over turtlenecks. Cigarette trousers. Combat boots. Black coffee. Actually very sentimental, but also might have accidentally killed someone with their classmates.
part 2 coming soon
