The creature that wants to kill you will not growl.

The function of a growl is as a warning. It is a communication that violence is available as a tool, but is not preferred. Other outcomes, besides your death, are available and should be considered.

But the creature that wants to kill you will not growl.

If your death is the goal, then growling will only serve as a delay and may result in your escape, which runs counter to the goal. There will be no growl, no warning. There will be no snarl or hiss or bluster. The creature that bares its teeth with the intent to kill only does so to bring closer its fangs to your demise.

The creature that growls does not want to kill you, but will if it must.

I advise you to appreciate the warning. You may not receive another.

a lot of life can be persevered thru by secretly playing pretend in your mind the whole time

lotta comments along the lines of "but watch out" "this ruined my life" "this is literally maladaptive daydreaming disorder" fuckinnn pretend to be someone who can wield their imagination better and play knights with me while we walk to the post office

[heywriters]

this is literally just being a writer, what is this "maladaptive daydreaming" nonsense? did some shrink come up with a way to vilify people with imaginations because they lacked one?

go make up a story to get through the day. you don't have to write it down, it's most for you when it is most in your head. is good for brain, is good for body, is good for heart.

me when its phone time in bed and i have a new fictional crush to obsess over all night

[writingdose]

this and also the only difference between fanfic writers and writers who sell their own original works as careers is that fanfics aren’t monetized. that’s all.

being a “professional” writer doesn’t mean your works are inherently better than fanfics. I’ve read so many fics that are more professionally written than some published books.

whether or not a piece of writing is monetized has nothing to do with its quality.

“i need to check the perimeter” i need to check the perimeter

People are joking about Jacob's comment regarding the s2 budget and "the folks at Peloton will make you rich" but that is literally the strategy. Both Hudson and Connor are little artist freaks who are in film for the love of the game, and by taking these lucrative advertising deals they are ensuring they make enough money while being able to take the roles they want. Heated Rivalry doesn't pay their bills, Verizon and Peloton and Tiffany and Balenciaga do, so they can spend 8 precious weeks in Toronto this summer doing what they love. They can take roles in niche Canadian indies and fund their own projects without having to worry about making rent.

It's a joke, but it's also the point. They are both clearly giving themselves room to be picky and only take the roles they want. It's smart as fuck and I applaud them and their teams for it and won't ever judge the boys for their commercial gigs.
