tell aristotle i lived. tell him dave did too. tell him the state has not yet fallen, though you know kids these days. tell him perhaps all our words are but elaborations, repetitions of that crier’s claim. tell aristotle we are alive, tell them all we thrive.

       this is in my rules already, and i don’t mean to make waves or cause conflict. i don’t want to make anybody feel guilty, ashamed or uncomfortable. all of my mutuals have beautiful, creative, diverse writing styles and it’s one of the reasons i love rp so much. it’s great seeing people take such creative approaches to writing.

       but one thing that will forever bother me is the combination of writing style and formatting that is so inaccessible. some people call it purple prose, which i don’t always agree with. still; "in literary criticism, purple prose is prose text that is so extravagant, ornate, or flowery as to break the flow and draw excessive attention to itself. purple prose is characterized by the excessive use of adjectives, adverbs, and metaphors.” in some cases, this can definitely be excused without any problems. who wants to write flat, bland writing, with no metaphors or detailed / creative descriptors? any heavily stylized writing could be considered purple prose.  but there’s a difference between purple prose and inaccessible writing.

          inaccessibility is defined as language or an artistic work which is difficult to understand or appreciate. it’s not a crime to write in a poetic style and it isn’t the end of the world if you choose to format in a way that is unique to your blog. at the end of the day my thoughts on this don’t really matter, because it all comes down to how you choose to express yourself. i encourage people to keep doing what makes them happy and allow everyone to just have fun.

         but it’s also important to keep in mind that, while you’re having your fun and writing in whatever heavily stylized manner you like, you may be alienating and isolating some people. a community built on extremely complicated writing, confusing formatting, small text, disorienting themes and long blocks of text can nurture a sense of superiority over people who can’t really understand it all. 

       if people with reading comprehension issues, dyslexia, vision problems or language barriers find it extremely challenging to comprehend your writing, either on the dashboard or on an inaccessible theme, then you have inaccessible writing. your theme, your blog, and your writing are not open to everyone, no matter how nice or polite you may be out of character. being unavailable to critique and rude to anyone who asks for clarification .... just means you’re willing to belittle people’s concerns and feelings, and prioritize your own fun over their needs. saying things in your rules like, “i have x writing style, and anyone who mocks or critiques it will be blocked” is just a method of closing yourself off to people who need help. 

        this isnt meant to mock peoples individual choices in creative writing, but it is meant to encourage people to write in a way that doesn’t isolate others who struggle with the things i just mentioned. i’m not necessarily saying anyone has to change. i’m just saying, sometimes its good to be self-aware, and its always good to take a look at your own writing every now and then and ask yourself, can everyone access this? can everyone understand what i’m trying to convey? am i being respectful and welcoming to people who are unlike myself? is my formatting difficult to see/read, is my spacing disorienting, and am i making it clear what’s happening throughout my thread? if the answer is no, don’t beat yourself up. see what you can do to make it better, or make it clear that you’re willing to help anyone who’s struggling without making them feel like they aren’t intelligent.

“Every time people look at monkeys, they get excited because the monkeys look like people.” and Mantis!

‘PLEASE LIKE ME’ SEASON TWO SENTENCE STARTERS.mantis and thor go to the zoo.@multiplist.

      the zoo was bustling with people. more of the zoo-goers were awestruck at the sight of these two aliens than the caged beings they paid to come see. a small crowd had formed to follow them around, but neither mantis nor thor were bothered by the attention, posing for a selfie or two, waving, and then moving on to pet the goats. (the goats were thor’s favorite part.) both the animals of the zoo and the humans who came to see them were interesting to the two aliens– people-watching had become a shared hobby of theirs. thor hums in agreement.

       mantis seems particularly hung up on the monkeys. she has a point; they look strikingly humanoid. the god wonders why they’ve a speaking raccoon among their friends, but no speaking ape. sad. the gorilla they’re currently looking upon has knelt in the corner of the enclosure to pick at the rim of the glass, pulling off and chewing the glue which holds the panes of glass in in as though it were gum. he’s seemingly devised a tool system of sticks and rocks in order to acquire said gum-glue. how clever! perhaps not wise! but clever! thor takes mantis’ hand to share in their combined curiosity and delight, relishing the experience of new discovery. lifeforms of all kinds fascinate them. they guide her hand to point at a little baby in the back, smile broad and radiant, sheer delight evident in every move.

         ‘look! a baby.’ they read from the sign outside the enclosure and smile, releasing her hand to lean gently against her shoulder instead. ‘her name is.... lulu. she does look quite like a person. see, you and i must be more human than others believe.’

      a hesitant, unsure voice. he’s suddenly wracking his brain for things he could possibly have done to incite the guardian’s frustrations. 

       oh, yes. this is probably about the goat standing right beside him.

@bckycp ( i can’t @ them because i’m blocked  😂 😂 😂 ) but like we see you replacing our local dark skinned black person antony mackie with our local lighter skinned man donald glover ( one , two , three ).  sam wilson is a dark skinned man , antony mackie is a dark skinned man , donaldt is midtone at best. but we get it , donald is the only black person your anti-black ass recognizes because he was in one film with alden. 

[galexshes-deactivated20180630]

you know what , i’m heated ! so i got more to say ! lets not forget this is the same person that is going around and telling my friends im an angry negro because i called their friend out on their antiblackness ( one , two ). and then said friend literally had nerve to falsely claim i sent them anon hate AND was antisemitic for calling out their anti blackness ( my response ; and we’re not gonna talk about how suddenly ephraim is the whole jewish community; we’re not even gonna talk about how ephraim erases black survivors of the holocaust or the results that facism has on black people ). but lets not forget how this all begun because someone who used me for woke validation tried to drop me after i wouldn’t give them all the validation. but now they’re trying to go around claiming im anti-semitic and i ran so and so off cause im an angry nigger for standing up for myself even tho said person is stalking me and telling people that i ran them off causa a ship and not their ableist and antiblackness.  even though they had nerve to say this shit to my friend who wasn’t involved.  whats antiblack is that this person is thinking im sending people to attack them and making me out to be this violent abuser. 

you know whats mad funny someone who hangs with two really antiblack assholes is also antiblack. but seeing how jackie you ghosted when people told you some stuff you said was antiblack and had nothing to say or cant reblog problack posts or back black muns up when they getting called nigga but you shame us if we don’t scream about reylo or the starwars fandom with you ( this isn’t the opression olypmics , i get that , but wokeness on one side should be wokeness on the other side )
