ITโS TEN FANFICS ON AO3 FOR A FANDOM THAT NOT EVEN ONE-SEVENTH OF THE POPULATION OF PLANET EARTH KNOWS EXISTS. IT ISNโT โNORMALIZINGโ ANYTHING, KAREN. STOP CLUTCHING YOUR PEARLS BEFORE YOU CHOKE YOURSELF
At its peak, funding NASA returned 8 dollars to the economy for every dollar it was given and singlehandedly advanced technology by decades. The money doesnโt get launched into space: all the benefits stay here.
Fuck thisย โCut science and art because poor people exist!โ bullshit.ย Make fucking rich people pay their damned taxes.ย That *ALONE* solves the vast majority of the problems.ย Make employers hire more people, not keep condensing job duties into more and more single positions (some of us are getting sick of doing the work of three people on barely the salary for one of them).ย Demand pay rates increase so that EVERYONE with a job makes enough to support themselves.ย Demand better health care, so that people donโt lose their homes and jobs because someone in their family got fucking cancer, or chronic illness, or severe injury.ย ย
Science isnโt the problem.ย The problem is capitalism and greed.
You donโt need a reasonย to not like a ship.ย You donโt need a reasonย not to ship a ship, canon or otherwise.ย You donโt have to prove itโsย โproblematicโ orย โabusiveโ or any of that shit.
Youโre allowed to just not like it.ย You can literallyย just sayย โeh, I donโt like it, itโs just not my thingโ and thatโs valid.ย You donโt have to explain it or excuse it.ย Just say you donโt like it and move the fuck on, for fuckโs sake.
The Blorp Rule is that instead of getting stuck when you donโt know what to write, you just write in [blorp] and move on!
For example, if youโre writing a conversation between a character and their mentor but you donโt know what the mentorโs name is, you would just write [blorp] where the mentorโs name would be.
This also works for other things too! If you know how a scene begins, and how it ends but you donโt feel like writing out the middle, you might put in something like [Blorp: Figure out how character A gets away from the guards], or [Blorp: write in dialogue between these two characters later] and just keep writing.
The idea is that you donโt have to stop writing just because you donโt know how to write something out, or if you donโt feel like writing that specific part! You can use the Blorp Rule and move on to whatever is next instead of getting stuck, and getting frustrated. This will allow you to work on something else, without forgetting to come back to whatever you blorped, later. Additionally, if youโre writing on your computer, you can Control Fย โblorpโ to find all the places you have to fill in, so you wonโt be missing anything!
why are star wars planets more boring than earth and our solar system like sure weโve seen desert, snow, diff types of forest, beach, lava, rain, but likeโฆย
rainbow mountains (peru)
red soil (canada/PEI)
rings (saturnโs if they were on earth)ย
bioluminescent waves
northern lights (canada)
salt flats (bolivia, where they filmed crait but did NOTHING COOL WITH IT except red dust?? like??? come ON)
and cool fauna like the touch me not or like, you know, the venus flytrap.. and donโt get me started on BUGS likeโฆ we have bugs cooler than sw aliens
BASICALLY like???? come on star wars you had one (1) job where are the cool alien species
I KNOW!! I did a report on filming locations in Star Wars last year and just made a list of places that looked so surreal they could make a convincing other planet. You covered some on my list but if I could just add a couple more:
Tsingy di Bemaraha, Madagascar
Zhangye Danxia, China (similar to the Rainbow Mountains in terms of appearance)
Chocolate Hills, Philippines
Giantโs Causeway, Northern Ireland
So many missed opportunities with cool ass things on Earth, Lucasfilms smhโฆ
If Iโm ever gonna make a movie with cool weird alien features Iโm first gonna ask the internet for weird, wonderful places on earth to look at for inspiration.
Something I struggle with so much is finding other words to use instead of "said". (One thing I wish I'd known was that you can sometimes use a verb like "glared" to replace said. It all just depends on the context) Now that I've spent most my day compiling as many as I could think for my own writing, I decided why not share? And now I'm posting this list. Hope this helps!

this time i tried an inking featuring Gojo and y/n (who is by now noticeably happier ๐ฅบ). They're preparing for a fancy ball, Gojo wears a shirt y/n bought him but y/n just won't look his way so he has to play dirty to get her attention ๐คง (by playing dirty i mean leaving the shirt unbuttoned and flexing his muscles ๐คง)
๐ฐ sorry i couldn't account for the fact that y/n's preggo ahhsjwjagawg
TAGS/WARNINGS: Hurt/Comfort (or not you decide hehe). Break-up. Falling out of love. Just hurtful shit. He loves someone else now but he didn't cheat. Can't explain shit omg just read sorry
NOTES: Listen to Madison Beer's new song Reckless while reading, the title is from the lyrics of this song !!
Hard as you try, there seems to be no anger in your heart. No burning rage that makes you want to set the whole world on fire. The urge to inflict the same kind of pain he's caused you not even making an appearance in your heart and mind. If it's resentment on the other hand, maybe you do bear some. Pain, too, if you're being completely honest. But you don't really feel like acting on it. Don't feel like looking for ways to release the negative emotions bubbling inside you. You just wanted to be at peace, wanted to cry everything plaguing your heart.
Maybe it's because he said it in such a soft voice, like he didn't want to hurt you but then not telling you at that moment will only make it worse, so he decides to. His palms were rubbing the back of his neck, eyes looking anywhere but you when he announced the feelings he's been desperately trying to contain.
"I'm in love with somebody else."
He wouldn't cheat on you. To the very bitter end he endured for you, and you knew that. He must've seen how desperately you were trying to save the relationship. How you still try to melt the cold that blankets over your relationship with your warm hugs, kisses lingering on his cheeks just a little bit longer than usual so you can make sure he feels the love that still blooms so beautifully in your heart.
"I understand." No matter how hard you swallow, the lump in your throat doesn't seem to go away, straining your voice. "I'll pack my things tonight and leave tomorrow."
"You don't have to go right away, Y/N," He looks at you sadly, almost pitifully, and you hated itโthe fact that you're faced with the reality that it's all beyond saving.
He wouldn't run after you. Not this time.
You realized your high school days were over. He's not going to chase after you, hands on your waist saying sorry and kissing your neck under the rain every time you run away after an argument. He's no longer going to bring you flowers, thrusting it straight to your chest when he gets home because it makes him too shy to be even more sentimental than he already is.
Gojo Satoru is no longer yours.
"It's fine, Gojo." you smile at him, not missing the way he winced at the mention of his last name. Nothing like the usual "Satoru" he's been used to hearing for years. No baby's, no love's, just Gojo. Perhaps he deserved that. He's always been stupid with words, constructing sentences doesn't seem to be a thing of his. Yet this one request he was sure he would beg you for, if you were ever to refuse.
"Will," he begins, closing his eyes shut shortly after then taking a deep breath. "Will you share the bed with me?" He smiles at you sadly, guilt plaguing the beautiful frosted eyes you've always loved. "For the last time?"
Biting your lip to prevent it from shaking even more than it already it, you nod at him, heading to the kitchen as he looks at you with a confused expression. A sigh escaping his lips when you turn around to answer him.
"I'll cook us dinner before bed."
That night in bed, when you couldn't keep bottling it up anymore, you ended up crying in his chest. His arms around you as he runs his fingers through your hair. None of you spoke a word. After all, what do you say to a lover you'll be losing tomorrow? To another woman you think you probably will never be.
He assures you, though. It's not the fact that she's prettier, not that she's kinder, sweeter, or more well-spoken than you could ever be. It's just that he doesn't feel it anymore, doesn't hear his heart beat with you the way it did beforeโand he hates it, God, does he despise the realization. Yet, while he couldn't imagine his life without you, he thinks he also couldn't imagine a future without her.
You look up at him and he stares down at you, with eyes full of warmth and melancholyโbut no longer of love. His frosted lashes almost a painful reminder of what your relationship has gone toโcold and unforgiving. His eyes speak to you the words he somehow couldn't bring himself to say.
He's sorry for hurting you, but he's not for loving her. After all, he just loved. Just started to harbor the same feelings he once did for you.
The morning was both harder and easier than last night. The closure you got before the separation more than you could have ever asked forโa temporary solution to your breaking heart. However, the pain persists as you get closer and closer to leaving the house you've spent so many years with him so he can stay in it and make new memories with her.
The door is heavy, heavier than the luggage he's helping you to carry. Turning back to him when you've stepped a foot outside, your eyes catch the sight of the necklace hanging around a chain on his neckโyour present to him for your first anniversary. He must have noticed, delicate fingers suddenly wrapping around the ring.
"I'm not taking it off," Gojo Satoru smiles, goodbye dripping from every syllable of every word coming out of his mouth. "So never take yours off too."
You reach up to him for a last hug, arms wrapping around his neck as you let your tears fall the moment your face is out of his sight. He was your best friend, your anchor, your life support. He was everything to you and you like to believe that once upon a time, you were too.
You whisper your last I love you before driving off in your car, the response you were used to hearing every single time not echoing in your ears this time.
Gojo Satoru was more than a lover to you. He's taken up more memories in your mind than the thoughts you have for yourself, your heart filled with nothing but a space for all the love you would have given him for the rest of your life, had you been given the chance. You spent years experiencing the beautiful kind of love he could give and maybe, this time, it's time for others to experience it too.
The same fantasy you once did.
The sun shines down through your windshield, reflecting on the ring shining on your finger as it grips the steering wheel. The shimmer a bittersweet reminder that while he might love her now, he still loved you first, and you guessโno, you believe, that it's enough.
To be loved by Gojo Satoru and bask in the affection he once offered.
