"How do you turn this ... HELLO? HELLO??"

"Dad? Dad! Just ... you don't need to stand that close to the scrying orb. All I can see is your eye just ... just step back!"

"SON? IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, YOUR MOTHER WANTED ME TO ASK YOU ..."

"Oh, you don't know what you're doing. Let me. HONEY! IT'S MOM!"

"Y-yes, Mom. I know. That's how scrying orbs work. I can see you."

"HONEY, I WAS TRYING THIS NEW INCANTATION AND NOW MY TULIPS ARE BREATHING FIRE. DO YOU KNOW HOW TO DE-SPELL?"

"It's ... it's 'dispell' Mom, I ... look, I'll have one of the kids open a portal and we'll be right over. Just, no more incantations if you don't know where they come from, okay?"

"OH YOU KIDS ARE SO SMART WITH THESE THINGS. MAYBE YOU CAN HELP YOUR FATHER TOO. IT'S BEEN RAINING IN THE GARAGE SINCE TUESDAY."

"I told you I'm handling it!"

"Animating brooms to carry rainwater is not handling it, George!"

There's an awful trend in reading that's this CinemaSins kind of rejection of abstract concepts and suspension of disbelief, that makes people say it's bad writing when authors use descriptions that aren't immediately one to one with physical reality.

Like it's bad when a "tattoo is undulating" (as opposed to... "drawn in a wave like pattern on the skin"?), or when hair is "wet wheat from a late Summer field" (as opposed to "sort of brownish light yellow that dries lighter, but is not actual wheat stalks growing on someone's head but kind of reminiscent of the color and texture"?), or when when ice cream tastes like midnight at the fair" (as opposed to "ice cream flavour bringing back memories of undefined ice cream flavours that are individually popular but always tied to a memory of late evening at the fair ground and probably smelling vaguely like popcorn and sugar"?).

Please. We have to get back to understanding abstract descriptions that evoke feelings and memories and mental images or things we haven't experienced yet. This hyper utilitarian way of reading and judging text is killing fiction. it's robbing you of experiencing things you haven't actually personally experienced.

idk man. i just think itd be really cool if sign language classes were mandatory throughout primary school. yeah because it would make communication with deaf kids and autistic/nonverbal kids much easier. and those kids would be accessible to the others so they could make friends and have healthy relationships. yeah. and kids would eat that shit up man. like their own little secret language? they love that.

"it's ok to show (x) in fiction as long as the bad guy gets punished!" the bad guy doesn't have to get punished. in fact the bad guy can win altogether. the bad guy can entirely get away with it. hope this helps

[bunniboiz]

and this part might make some people's head explode but: characters can be written to forgive things you personally wouldn't ever forgive. not everything is written as what you'd perceive to be the right choice. not everything is a self-insert & protagonists don't have to be relatable.

I miss when ads were a single click and then they’re gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesn’t even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.

I hate advertising. I hate that you can’t do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that there’s nothing I can do about it.
