I love desire paths. There's something so wonderous about seeing an echo of humanity. Depending on it's location, a desire path can mean so many different things.

In a city, like the pic above, they represent rebellion, and efficiency. The messiness of humanity. We like to imagine we're oh so logical and neat so we design our cities to be logical and neat an then real humans literally trample on that idea. The ego required to think you can design something perfect that checks every box. Life is all about compromise and patching stuff when some new problem arises. Though people have certainly tried! Ohio state univeristy let students carve their desire paths, and then paved them over. It looks pretty artsy.

Some people will try to discourage desire paths, but this is almost always going to fail.

Eventually, people just have to accept them. Humans are too dang stubborn.

Certain desire paths are just adorable. A 0.5 second time saver. You just can't design for maximum efficiency, humans will always find shortcuts!

Though on occasion a desire path can actually be the least efficient way...especially if you're superstitious.

In a wilder area, such as below, they show us the curiosity of humans. A desire path somewhere natural often tells you there's something interesting just ahead. (Though remember some ecosystems are fragile and will suffer if trampled! Stick to paths in these sorts of areas)

And how about desire stairs? I always think these look so cool. We get see humans determination to climb, to traverse every kind of terrain.

And for something really crazy...a desire path used for centuries will create a 'holloway'

All of these pics are off the Desirepath subreddit, check them out for more examples! And many thanks to the users who submitted these photos.

Fieldwork tip: sometimes in the Forest you will find deer desire paths. “Oh!” says your brain, “this will lead me to somewhere cool!”

It will not. The deer wants to go to heavy brush and surge up a steep hill with its powerful hindquarters and presumably collect all the deer ticks living along the deer desire path. Waiting. You are a human, you want to meander along the side of the hill in absolutely no brush at all, thank you. Your desires are not compatible. You must abandon the deer path.

Cow desire paths though: flat as pancakes, always lead you to water or meadows. Useful things.

Thank god someone else said it. When I saw that path in the woods and it was talking about human curiosity I was like... no. Other animals besides humans make paths.

Sometimes it's a really bad idea to follow them.

Especially if you don't want to get covered in deer ticks.

Our hero thought but of treasure ahead

Did not consider the peace of the dead

Through the dark they went creeping

And awoke what was sleeping

A new grave they dug, which they themselves fed

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be a part of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

#Writing #So much of my earlier Transformers stuff was literally right after I got home from school and just overflowed with passion #A lot of the later stuff was me up all night until 6am writing and drawing and chatting to my online friends #I will never forget how previous and wonderful those times were to explore myself and meet to many like minded people #And even those that weren't likeminded but we made friends anyway because you don't always have to agree to be friends!#Even now my long Raphlep fic was me coming home exhausted from work and being an adult in my 30's #Fan fic writers are such a wonderful diverse group of people

I love how the notes for this are just chock full of examples of the most batshit specific things people research for their fanfics. Truly a treasure trove.
