Tentatively venturing back onto tumblr because meta is being meta right now and I want somewhere safe to enthuse about Dragon Age and other fun fandoms.

But mostly I'm laughing because yes, Camina Drummer DOES still have me in a chokehold however many years after I reposted a billion Drummer gifs.

You know. Reading is important. Because I'm like always trying to make every line I write this groundbreaking mindfucking art but like. A book is 90% just saying what happened. "I hugged him around the waist." "The chair was brown and overstuffed." "I woke up alone." Etc etc. Like normal ass lines. I just keep comparing my boring, necessary to set a scene lines, with famous authors' absolute best lines and like.... every line doesn't have to shatter the earth. Sometimes someone just sits in a chair and the lines that wreck you come later, one at a time, here and there. It's alright.

This is super common and I wish we were taught when we begin to write that those quoted lines are also in a sea of the same sort of setup we obsess over not being 'good enough'. I saw multiple people drop out of writing courses over this in college. Sure, sometimes you need a better way to describe something prevalent or to pinpoint an emotion, but if EVERYTHING was written in that sort of tone for a whole book it would prove utterly exhausting to read.

Also, if every single line in the book was hard-hitting and mindblowing, then it wouldn't be memorable because it would be drowned out.

The best lines are famous because they stand out.

sometimes I wonder how we all survive and then I look at my best friends and I go “oh, I survive because I don’t want to leave you yet” and it makes sense. life is so hard a lot of the time, but I want one more bowl of pasta with you.

At striking actors' hangout bar, tiny residual checks no longer a joke

For actors trying to make it in Hollywood, a small residual check from one of their first jobs used to prompt laughter, and at one neighborh

"It's gotten to the point where I think a lot of people can't believe it if they get a residual for $25," O'Brien said. "They're so used to opening those envelopes and it's 30 cents."

O'Brien, who has appeared on dozens of shows, from "Grey's Anatomy" to "Pretty Little Liars," shared images of residual checks from more than two decades ago worth $47.49, $87.77 and $216.25. Others, from the past few years, amounted to $1.63, 43 cents and 1 cent.

[memecucker]

Lower residual payments mean fewer actors earn the $26,470 per year needed to qualify for SAG-AFTRA's health insurance coverage, said actor Michael Spellman. The union said about 14% of its 160,000 members currently meet that threshold.

Really important info for anyone thinking this is a “rich people strike”

I'm starting to get smile lines.

How lovely to have smiled so often that happiness permanently etches itself into your face

[lemonemenom]

How metal to have lived a life where your face now pre-warns people not to fuck with you

[lemonemenom]

How resilient to have cared so strongly that empathy is now visibly displayed on your face
