New URL Live!
Hey all! I’ve got the new blog up and am now transferring all of my major writing content over to my new url @rosy-posy-writes! Once all my main content is transitioned over, I’ll be deactivating this URL entirely. If you still want to keep up with my WIPS, head over there and give me a follow!
I love toxic romance as much as the next bitch but tbh it can’t hold a candle to toxic sibling relationships where there’s rage, yes, and maybe even hate, but love too, and you can’t escape it and you can’t embrace it so what’s left? No one will ever know you like they know you, and no one will ever be able to hurt you like they can. This hole in your side and you can either stand by them even though what they’ve become turns your stomach or you can try to leave them behind but it doesn’t matter how far you run because they’ll always be your sibling. They’ll always have a piece of you. You were born knowing them.
I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but just in case, this is your casual reminder that there's not supposed to be pressure in anything regarding writing. Don't want to do NaNo? Cool. You don't have to do NaNo. Want to do NaNo on a different month? You literally can do that. The site literally lets you do that. Want to do NaNo this November? You're not promoting a culture of overworking yourself or something by doing it; don't be ashamed if you want to try a challenge.
Similarly, you don't have to write romance if you don't want to. Your new OC doesn't have to be a specific flavor of queer if you don't want them to be. You don't have to publish if you don't want to. On the other hand, if you want to do all those things, you absolutely can and in fact absolutely should.
Writing is literally art. The whole point is doing with it what you feel like doing (so long as you don't hurt somebody else while doing it). It's just that the downside to massive internet communities is that it's very easy to look at what prominent voices are doing and assume that's supposed to be a norm, rather than view it as, you know. Just what somebody wants to do.

Why Reading Your Old Writing is a Good thing
Old Writing: *is great*
Me: This! Masterpiece! I am Shakespeare! Why did I think this was Bad???
Old Writing: *is awful*
Me: Wow. Well. At least I can identify what I used to do wrong now! That must mean I'm improving! I'm better than I used to be!!
I swear I saw a tumblr post on here that said ‘horses have over 4,000 bones’ and i don’t know where it came from because its totally wrong, they have 205, but what kind of fucked up horse has this person seen out there because I’m absolutely terrified of it
extremely thankful this creature exists slightly to the left of our known reality
it sounds like a bowl of cereal when it walks
just because it has 4000 bones doesn’t mean they all must belong to it. you see where I’m going?
OH NO…
BONE THEIF!!!
I have to reblog the bone horse. I love the bone horse. It haunts my dreams.
Moving Announcement!
Hey everyone! I’ve decided to restart my tumblr under a new URL that I’ll be posting once it goes live! A lot of my followers are inactive from when I was a fanfic writer years and years ago and I really want to start fresh, so this blog will be deactivated within the next few weeks as I move content over to the new blog!
Original Fiction Ask Meme
I didn’t really see many of these out there, so I figured I’d make one! Feel free to reblog for your own use. GENERAL WRITING 1. Are there any themes you tend to explore? 2. Do you like to show people WIPs or do you wait until it’s finished? 3. What is your biggest challenge with writing original fiction? 4. What genre do you tend to write?

The Gods Have Decided So.
I am apparently working on becoming a local cryptid at the store. Talents include:
Monitoring the changing of the seasons via mozzarella
Predicting the weather by picking up a piece of cheese and mysteriously saying “oh, the storm is gonna be bigger than we thought...” just before thunder
Mind reading, e.g. “Can you help me find a cheese? It’s called, uh... [starts fishing out shopping list]” “Gruyere?” “...yes O_o”
Mozzarella doubles in sales in the span of a week, right about when the first tomatoes show up
Cheese that I’ve wrapped in plastic will acquire condensation in a few seconds when it’s about to rain big time
“Gruyere” is always the cheese people want to show me on their list rather than try to pronounce it.
That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me
Cheesewitching. I respect it.
With your wing shape post what shape would flightless birds have? (Chickens, ostriches, kiwis, etc) Or do they all have different types?
Chickens aren’t fully flightless but they are so very bad at it, bless their hearts. They have an elliptical wing, the problem is that it’s too small relative to their body, and the corresponding flight muscles are underdeveloped.
To be clear, flightless birds aren’t flightless strictly because of their wings. Most have lost their keel—it’s a little bone growth on the front of the sternum (breastbone) where flight muscles attach. No muscles, no power, especially when the body mass is high as with many flightless birds. So, even if you were to stick proper wings on these guys, they’re not going to be taking off.
With that in mind, no, many flightless birds don’t have a wing shape comparable to flighted birds. Their wings are no longer under selective pressure to be functional for flight and were therefore able to undergo a lot of changes that flighted birds wouldn’t tolerate. Feathers need to be stiff and grow in a certain aerodynamic pattern, but flightless birds have lost or dramatically rearranged feathers, and their feathers are often soft and oddly shaped…and the sum of these effects makes the overall wing shapes weird.
Ostriches, for example, resemble…nothing. Like, look at that. That’s a craft project. They now use their wings for mating rituals and other displays, as well as some general braking/turning assistance while running. (That assistance basically amounts to “fancy rudder” though, and isn’t a particular special shape from what I was able to find.)
(Image source and also a cool article on possible similar wings in dinos)
Their overwing feathers are fairly uniform and soft, the underwing is totally unfeathered, and they’ve gained long feathers on both the leading and trailing edge of the wing, none of which would be allowed to happen in a flighted bird because it’s an aerodynamic disaster. Rheas are like this too. Here is a very viscerally unpleasant picture from the underwing of an ostrich…

Here is all the grandeur of an emu wing.

But there are a few cases of recognizable wing shapes. These are all shapes that came from the flighted ancestor; they weren’t developed anew during flightlessness. The species just hasn’t messed too much with the wing pattern, whether that’s due to a recent loss of flight or a neutral/positive selection towards the old feathers.
Kakapos fall into this situation. Kakapos have the chicken problem. That’s a fairly standard wing, but too short for its body mass and with no flight muscles. They’re still good for balance, though.

There’s also a flightless cormorant. No, this bird isn’t sick or molting—this is what their normal feathers look like, and they’re used for swimming and diving. It’s still approximately a normal cormorant wing, they’ve just significantly reduced the feather length and coverage.

Please also have this great rhea pic I came across in the process of finding images for all of this.
