Everything Is Interesting

Questions over answers, journey over destination, progress over perfection, small acts over great accomplishments.

The most interesting question you can ask about any character is not what do they want. it's what do they believe they deserve. because those two things are almost never the same and the gap between them is where your entire story lives. a person can want love completely and believe they don't deserve it and that belief will destroy every good thing that comes toward them in ways they won't even notice they're doing. write the gap. the gap is the character.

sometimes I will get utterly deranged shitposts on my dash that have nothing to do with anything i'm interested in, but i'll throw 'em a like anyway bc they are compellingly weird. i would like my environment to remain as weird as possible. "i have no idea what ur on about, but keep up the good work! ❤️"

"i think", i say, about my own ocs, who i made,

“my headcanon is…” i say about the canon that i made about my own characters

You know those jumbles of letters? Those are called "words". They represent "meaning". Now the tricky thing about words is you need to read all of them to understand what a person is saying - sometimes entire sentences or, God forbid, paragraphs!

But I believe in you! I believe if you try hard enough and take it slow, you can manage to read all the words in a post *before* replying to it!

It's important to have at least two blorbos that fit into specific roles in your life

The blorbo you can look to in hard times, and ask yourself what they would do in a situation, and draw motivation from them on how to be better and stronger!

The blorbo you can look to in hard times, and remind yourself that no matter what happens, you probably aren't going to fuck your shit up as much as they did even if you actively tried

I'm wondering how neurotic I am .

When you have a conversation, how much do you think about the fact that you're having a conversation (like. Considering your ratio of speaking/listening, thinking about if the thought you could potentially voice is relevant, thinking about Contributing To The Conversation)?

Happy Reichenbach Fall day. On May the fourth, canonically, Sherlock Holmes and James Moriarty settled their differences.

"She's not really in love with him. She's just imprinted on him because he was the first person who was nice to her after she was shunned and locked up for years."

"That might be true, but for the love of god do not say that to her. She'll only double down."

real talk why do so many fantasy universes think giant spiders are necessary

[downtroddendeity]

The sad part is there’s a decent chance a large proportion of them can be blamed on one spider.

The tarantula that bit JRR Tolkien as a child.

He swore he didn’t have a spider phobia and the experience had nothing to do with the man-eating giant spiders in The Hobbit, the even more giant and even more man-eating spider in Lord of the Rings, or the unholy eldritch spider from outside creation that plunged the world into darkness and made literal Satan scream like a little kid in the Silmarillion. Very few people believe him.

Given LotR’s influence in the fantasy genre, there is a high probability that tarantula is the progenitor of even more fictional spiders than Ungoliant was.

[i-say-spooky-you-say-scary]

wow fuck that one tarantula

[jimintomystery]

“fantasy universes have too many spiders” factoid actually just statistical error. Georgs Spider, who bit JRR Tolkein & is to blame for menacing over 10,000 fantasy universes, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Create a scenario where your character acts like someone they despise. What triggers it?

[homunculus-argument]

Trying to keep myself from going "oh my god you people don' t know anything" by reminding myself that there are surely things that you don't just know, but consider such common knowledge that it wouldn't occur to you at all to consider that I wouldn't know that. I'd ask y'all to share some, but how the fuck would you know what is and isn't common knowledge to anyone else.

once in a theatre class i was reading a midsummer nights dream with another student and towards the end of the play there’s like a eunuch? she asked what that was and i had a moment of complete bafflement that someone would have never encountered the term before. then i remembered that the sheer amount of fantasy books id consumed in my life was probably what gave me that knowledge
