Get bath or shower crayons, from bath toys or baby products section. They'll be your friend. Haven't done Actual Writing with them but they've still helped so much on individual chapter planning
Okay. It’s coming up Christmas, and so many of my friends are or have been in such bad situations that I’m making a mass download of what I call “SAVE YOURSELF” resources.
These are ebook versions of things I’ve gotten that helped me get out of terrible situations–or, if I couldn’t escape immediately, survive them until I could. I hope they help you–and if you’re not in a terrible situation, I hope they help you recognize terrible situations in the future.
It contains:
“Quality of Life Scale: A Measure of Function for People with Chronic Pain” by the American Chronic Pain Association (helps give you data points for how well you’re doing, since a terrible situation can sometimes seem normal and fine)
“Five Geek Social Fallacies,” by Michael Suileabhain-Wilson (helps diagnose what’s going on in your social circle)
“On Interpersonal Badness,” by Fugitivus
“Power and Control Wheel for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans Relationships,” by Roe and Jagodinsky (more diagnostics)
Domestic Violence: A Resource for Trans People, by the Greater London Domestic Violence Project
Why Does He DO That?! Inside the Minds of Abusive and Controlling Men, by Lundy Bancroft
DBT Skills Handbook from Fulton State Hospital
The Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Sourcebook by Glenn Schiraldi
got parts? by ATW (multi self-help book)
The ‘Hurt Yourself Less’ Workbook, by Dace, Faulkner, Frost, Parker, Pembroke, and Smith
Hello, Cruel World: 101 Alternatives to Suicide by Kate Bornstein
After Your Suicide Attempt by Samantha Heames
Survival Without Rent, by Unknown
Good and Cheap, by Leanne Brown (food stamps cookbook)

Fungus Networks
Trade is vital to the survival of forests. Information, water, and various magical energies are not evenly spread. Fey creatures help shift resources, but not only are they are massively outnumbered by the sheer number of trees, they also have their own lives to go about.
Fungal networks, often the size of entire realms, handily prevent backups and energy deserts. Filaments link each tree to its neighbors and to larger pockets, with different types of magical fungi bridging trees for specific purposes. Some network layers transmit water via the astral plane while others balance the flows of energy. Areas being flooded with sunshine trade excess light energy for gloom zest, allowing them to strengthen poisonous barks and sharpen thorns. Dryads and sprites help maintain the balance, but for the most part, the system is self-maintaining.
so my english professor told us this story last year about how he met his wife and it’s completely possible that he made it up just to entertain us but he says it happened and the story is this
he’s a a cruise with his parents to australia where he’s gonna spend a year or so for some reason. can’t remember why but it was job related. his mom is worried that if he spends too long away from her without her constant advice (my mom is also like this lol) he’s going to do something impulsive and ridiculous.
so, he decides to prank her by pretending to get married to a woman he just met. because he’s obviously so impulsive and ridiculous. so he’s talking to people and stuff and he asks this woman if she’s cool with pretending to marry him to prank his parents. and she says yes. then he goes and talks to the captain and crewmembers and he’s like “i have this ridiculously funny prank where i’m going to pretend to marry this lovely woman to freak out my mom.” and they, of course, reply hell yeah. so like since the first mate has the power to marry people, i guess, he agrees to the fake wedding.
so at lunch he’s like “mom, dad, this is alyssa. i met her last night and we’re in love and also getting married.” and his mom freaks out and that could be that. but no.
if they’re gonna do this they’re gonna go big or go home.
so, he changes his facebook status to “married to alyssa” and invites all his friends to his wedding in the middle of the ocean. (and they believe him and congratulate him and he’s concerned that his friends think he would really marry a random woman he met like six hours ago)
now his mom is getting really nervous b/c alyssa (the fake bride) got her friends she was on the cruise to be her bridesmaids. they got the first mate to “marry” then at dinner in front of people. the mom is horrified.
anyway the next day he goes “just kidding!” and it’s hilarious. but then he has to contact all his friends who were calling him on the phone and stuff to congratulate him to tell them it was an elaborate joke and they all think he’s an asshole and he and alyssa part ways but keep in touch b/c they… actually get along pretty well.
anyway like a year later they meet up again in boston (i think? big city that wasnt new york) and talk and end up dating for like a year and then end up engaged for real. and now he invites his friends to his real wedding and all their RSVPs essentially say “i’ll show up, but if this is another fake one i’ll fucking murder you” and the mom just flat out didnt believe him for a month because she’s not falling for that again.
and now they’ve been married happily for like three years and they’re expecting their second child who has probably been born by now
and the overall point of this post is: imagine your otp

So, let me guess– you just started a new book, right? And you’re stumped. You have no idea how much an AK47 goes for nowadays. I get ya, cousin. Tough world we live in. A writer’s gotta know, but them NSA hounds are after ya 24/7. I know, cousin, I know. If there was only a way to find out all of this rather edgy information without getting yourself in trouble…
You’re in luck, cousin. I have just the thing for ya.
It’s called Havocscope. It’s got information and prices for all sorts of edgy information. Ever wondered how much cocaine costs by the gram, or how much a kidney sells for, or (worst of all) how much it costs to hire an assassin?
I got your back, cousin. Just head over to Havocscope.
((PS: In case you’re wondering, Havocscope is a database full of information regarding the criminal underworld. The information you will find there has been taken from newspapers and police reports. It’s perfectly legal, no need to worry about the NSA hounds, cousin ;p))

tra-ge-dy, easy as 1-2-3
i generally say i don’t like ‘downer’ media, and that includes tragedies, but i quite like hamlet, and i think moby dick is the shit. recently i got to thinking what it is about the few tragedies i like that makes them different from the merely-depressing rest. best i can figure, here it is:
our protagonist has agency. he’s not a victim or a dupe. he could get out of the shit if that was his priority. of course, the way he could get out is not going to be easy or fun – ishmael’s options, for instance, were ‘mutiny’ or ‘swim’ – or else it wouldn’t be a tragedy, but he has choices he can make, is the point.
once he is in the shit, he struggles like a motherfucker. he doesn’t just sit down and go “oh well, suffering is good for the soul.” he fights. he plots revenge against his uncle. he clings to his boyfriend’s coffin in the freezing sea. he’s not a quitter.
when it all goes to hell, he doesn’t waste his last hours on futile scrambling to escape. he puts the pedal down and accelerates into that brick wall, screaming WITNESS ME with his last breath.
these, i think, are the criteria for a story i’ll like even though it ends with tombstones instead of medals. because even though our protagonist is dead, or bobbing amongst the corpses alone, or what have you, he remained himself and did what he thought was the thing he needed to do. which is the victory that really matters: remaining yourself and holding onto your will in the face of whatever the world throws at you.
hey there, i'm AFAB trans masc, and lately I've been experiencing a lot of voice dysphoria. I try my best to sound masculine, but when talking to someone I don't/barely know or shown something super adorable, my voice goes all feminine and squeaky.

by storyboard supervisor Erik Fountain
A few years ago, Erik put together these updated AT storyboard guidelines for new board artists and revisionists.
Since I didn’t have any to hand, I’ve decided to make some plus/minus dice for use with the Fate based system in Interface Zero (and other Fate/Fudge rpgs which I’ve always been curious about). FIneliner pen on paper, scanned, layout and tabs added in Libre Office Drawing.
Printable File here: http://inkedadventures.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/PlusMinusPrintableDice_BilliamBabble_Inked_Adventures.pdf
Paper and card dice are best thrown into the air rather than “rolled” across the table, also this depends on what you stuff them with. :)
Fudge Dice on Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fudge_(role-playing_game_system)#Fudge_dice
You know that coins work too, right?
I was reading about them. The coins look sort of slower to use. Am I wrong? Coins, compared to card dice, would certainly be less crushable! :D
No, coins only have 2 sides. Fudge/Fate dice have 3 sides. Plus, minus, and “meh”. It may not sound that important, but you end up going from pass/fail binary to fail/pass with a distinct result level.
Very good point (sorry for my delay).
I’d seen some official Fate coins in a Google Search, but I think I might have been confusing them with tokens - only one side counts as they are drawn from a bag, like chits (?).
However, moving away from the binary, if you have customised coins with the three different face designs (+/./-) distributed across the total number of coins, which are then thrown, flipped or dropped simultaneously … - Can that work out way probability wise?
3 coins designs: ( + / . ) ( - / . ) ( + / - ) The question is how that translates to numbers of dice in a rulebook. (I’m assuming there’s no need for +/+ and -/- coins) Any thoughts?
I’ve never used the “coins”, nor do I know any one who has. So I’m not sure how they would balance out, but now I’m fairly curious.
(More a Thing my DM said. As it stands the best opening to any games I have ever played)
“You see the wide expanse of Creation before you. To the South is the endless deserts and volcanoes, where the most exotic spices and gems can be found. Opposite of it the snow covered North, home to ancient temples and hidden secrets. The West holds the shimmering seas and sings of pirates and adventure. The forests of the East are dark and mysterious, holding countless secrets in it’s depths. And in the center of it all, the Blessed Isle, once home to the gods, and now the hub of the vast Empire that spans all of Creation.”
“It’s an amazing sight, one that truly puts into perspective the wonder of the world as well as how important it is to protect it, But you can’t enjoy the view, because you’re five miles up and free falling, with no means of stopping your descent. Also you’re being attacked by savage bird men. Roll for Initiative.”
Repetition is the Enemy, Not Passive Voice
(Oh here we go, I know I’m going to get flack for this.)
Okay, for those of you who may be confused as to what Passive Voice even IS, let me show you.
Active: Alex stabbed Ryan in the face.
Passive: Ryan’s face was stabbed (by Alex).
A nifty trick to figure out if something is in passive voice is to see if the sentence makes sense when the phrase “by zombies” can be added to it (In reference to the example used above, the phrase ‘by Alex’ is not needed, but works because the sentence is in passive voice and, if the information is imperative and has to be added somewhere, then it would be added like that. ‘By Alex’ is this sentences variant of the ‘by zombies’ plug-in).
Here’s the thing though; repetition is more agitating than passive voice.
If I keep reading sentences that flow the same way, I start to get tired. The repeated use of sentence starters, of certain rhythms, get old. Throwing in a few sentences that employ passive voice can be useful in breaking up the monotony of a paragraph.
Example:
All Active- Gena, thoroughly exhausted, changed out the flat tire. She wiped her hands on her skirt and hoped the work she did was satisfactory. Gena then got into the car with a huff, only to be greeted by the blank stare of Randy. With Two Passive Sentences- The flat tire was changed by Gena, who by this point was thoroughly exhausted. She wiped her hands on her skirt and hoped the work she did was satisfactory. Then, with a huff, Gena got into the car, only to be greeted by the blank stare of Randy.
*waves hand* The examples are neither fancy nor perfect, but the point remains- the flow is better broke up when passive voice is used. Is this the only way to variegate sentence structure? No, but it still shouldn’t be tossed out.
Oh a side note, passive voice can be excellent in conveying certain emotions or speeds.
For example, using passive voice when a character is trying to muddle through a situation can show how they’re trying to link pieces together- The culprit was arrested by Officer Hymnal, who Yvann knew for a fact had been taking money out of the evidence lockers for years now.
Besides, if we tried to say, “Officer Hymnal arrested the culprit,” it would sound like the culprit was taking money from the evidence locker, not Officer Hymnal.
In regards to time, I find passive voice to be exceptionally useful when trying to show slow, gentle scenes- The floor was illuminated by the glow of summer’s sun, dripping down the hallways like honyed milk.
This is much nicer than, say, an active voice variant which may sound like “summer’s sun illuminated the floor, dripping down the hallways.” They’re not too terribly different on their own, but in combination with other sentences, may give a better feel depending on your ultimate goal.
Passive voice isn’t an enemy, it’s a tool. Don’t be afraid to use it.
Sandwich Fillers and Toast Toppers

I had a dream where there was a tiny pink version of bulbasaur called strawberry bulbasaur and it had a strawberry on its back.
So I drew it! In the dream they looked less like pigs.
