LETS PLAY A GAME. It’s called: Who directed it TIM BURTON or HENRY SELICK

We’ll start with the 2009 Laika film Coraline based on the novel by Neil Gaiman. Do you know who directed it? Burton or Selick?

Did you guess yet?

If you guessed Henry Selick, you would be correct. Tim Burton actually had absolutely nothing to do with Coraline at all in anyway ever. Reminder: Tim Burton has NOTHING to do with Coraline. At all. But that was an easy one. Let’s go to the Walt Disney Pictures adaptation of Roald Dahl’s novel, James and the Giant Peach next.

Think you got it? Are you sure? Better double check…

Oh, look. It’s Henry Selick again! Tim Burton actually interacted with this project, though only as a producer. Bet that was tricky… Next one! Let’s go to the Disney/Touchstone Pictures film Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Have you guessed it correctly? Have you really?

Yep that’s right. Even Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas was directed by Henry Selick. Though Burton wrote the poem and created the characters in which Nightmare was based he didn’t have much interaction with the project beyond that. At the time he had already signed off to direct the film Batman Returns and did not want to be involved with the “painstakingly slow process of stop-motion animation.”

Looks like it was a trick quiz. But now you know Henry Selick, whom people rarely know of is responsible for many of the most well known stop-motion animated films. The more you know!

This isn’t even being qeued. This is just being reblogged, because some of you still don’t understand who directed Coraline.

A lot of people can feel isolated on Valentine’s day, and especially aro/ace people who get everything they try to avoid thrown back to their face.

Send this to your friends and spread the word!

There is multiple kind of love, none is better, each one is just different! and to concentrate on only one is just sad

(In floral language, yellow roses symbolise friendship, kindess, affection ; platonic love)

hey trans friends

if you need binders/breast forms/makeup/etc but don’t want your parents to know, now is the best time to get it. 

you can order whatever it is online and when the package comes in if the ask what it is you can say something like “it’s a secret!” or even just sssh them. they’ll assume it’s a present for whatever holiday you celebrate and probably won’t press the issue.

[lunarecord]

oh my god this is amazing

[mypoorfaves]

I normally don’t reblog stuff like this but this is a very important life hack!

[inexplicably-gaining-followers]

make sure you actually buy a present though or else this is all going to fall apart. it doesn’t have to be expensive, e.g. a “best dad” mug, socks, a bath bomb, multi-tool variations of everyday objects, soap, tea, a candle, et cetera.

“Writers - if you’re stuck on a scene and don’t know how get it done right, don’t be afraid to use filler[.] […] Just. Keep. Writing. You’ll figure it out. Sometimes all it takes is writing a later scene to crack it.“ (C. Robert Cargill)

[lauraannegilman]

I call this “brackets of wisdom” - term stolen from someone else years ago - and it includes everything from [type of braiding used] to [shit happens things go boom]. This is very useful in not breaking the flow of writing. However it can also lead to posting things like  “Dear Past Me, Fuck you. nolove, Present Me.”

[drawlight]

This is a technique I use alllll the time and I wanted to definitely reblog! 

[mybluedecember]

This is super helpful in tech writing too! I’ll sometimes do “TODO: INSERT BACKGROUND OF SAMPLING THEORY” in the middle of my papers.

[this-is-lena-winter]

YES!

I also will use the word “elephant*” in a place where I can’t think of the right one, or to mark the above “fill in with ____” here.

Why? Because then I can quickly control + F and search for it, making sure I haven’t accidentally left in a placeholder or a note to myself before I submit what I’ve been working on. It’s saved my butt a lot.

* or some other word that I would never use in my writing/papers. Obvi if you would, add something else.

I saw a post talking about how Terry Pratchett only wrote 400 words a day, how that goal helped him write literally dozens of books before he died. So I reduced my own daily word goal. I went down from 1,000 to 200. With that 800-word wall taken down, I’ve been writing more. “I won’t get on tumblr/watch TV/draw/read until I hit my word goal” used to be something I said as self-restraint. And when I inevitably couldn’t cough up four pages in one sitting, I felt like garbage, and the pleasurable hobbies I had planned on felt like I was cheating myself when I just gave up. Now it’s something I say because I just have to finish this scene, just have to round out this conversation, can’t stop now, because I’m enjoying myself, I’m having an amazing time writing. Something that hasn’t been true of my original works since middle school. 

And sometimes I think, “Well, two hundred is technically less than four hundred.” And I have to stop myself, because - I am writing half as much as Terry Pratchett. Terry fucking Pratchett, who not only published regularly up until his death, but published books that were consistently good. 

And this has also been an immense help as a writer with ADHD, because I don’t feel bad when I take a break from writing - two hundred words works up quick, after all. If I take a break at 150, I have a whole day to write 50 more words, and I’ve rarely written less than 200 words and not felt the need to keep writing because I need to tie up a loose end anyways. 

Yes, sometimes, I do not produce a single thing worth keeping in those two hundred words. But it’s much easier to edit two hundred words of bad writing than it is to edit no writing at all.

[steorn]

this goes for literally any goal? Doing ANYTHING is infinitely better than doing nothing. No energy for the gym? do 5 pushups

[faeriviera]

as a perfectionist since childhood, this has been a lesson I have been working at learning, because I’ve hit burn out in a bad way and am fighting the mindset that you have to do all or nothing in order to be successful. It’s a lot of bullshit, but it’s bullshit I have to dig through in order to make it to a point where I feel proud of myself for doing what I can.

writing advice: never italicize words to show emphasis! if you’re writing well then the reader will know and you don’t need them!

me: oh really??? listen up, pal, you can just try an pull italics from my cold, dead fingers

[alyxrae]

I feel this on a spiritual level.
