Concept: a Dungeons & Dragons coffee shop AU, but the class roles and general level of peril are unchanged, so you’re like battling giant killer shrubbery to harvest coffee beans and rescuing hapless patrons from the people-eating kobolds who live in the basement and such.

gosh i love fan fic authors

Let's talk about mynoise.net

Have you ever been listening to Rainymood and thought, “Yeah, this is good … but it would be nice if I could customize the sound more, or if there was a little more choice.

Let me introduce you to MyNoise.

MyNoise is a customizable sounscape looper with so many options, even within each soundscape.  So say, for instance, you really love rain sounds when you write or study or relax.  Anything.  I know I’m a big fan of rain sounds.  They have a page for that.

But say you like really high, pattery rain, and LOTS of low thunder.  Here’s where MyNoise really stands out: you can customize that.  See those sliders with all the cute colors?  That is your equalizer. You can adjust the levels based on what you want to hear more and less of.  Here’s how it looks when you want high, pattery rain and low, rumbly thunder:

But say rain isn’t really your jam.  Say you want something a little more ambient, a little more background noise-y.  Something with people.  Well, they have customizable coffee house chatter that even has the levels listed for things like “kitchen,” “babble,” and “table”:

Or say you miss the ocean.

Or say you miss your cat.

Or say you miss your spaceship.

Or say you miss the dungeon where you and your team of scalawag adventurers used to explore and face off against, say, dragons.  In the dungeon.

This site is seriously so helpful, and those are just a fraction of every kind of sounscape the site has to offer.  The best part is that if you want to layer it with music (for instance, I’ll layer a playlist + rain + coffee shop if the scene I’m writing takes place in a coffee shop), you can adjust the master volume, meaning all of your layers stay at their respective volumes, just louder or quieter.

Enjoy!

OH MY GOD

[kinkykinard]

Y’ALL I JUST STARTED USING THIS TODAY BUT THIS HAS BROKEN THROUGH MY WRITER’S BLOCK LIKE NOTHING ELSE.

TRY IT.  USE IT.  LOVE IT.

[alienshepard]

my favourite trope of all time is having a character with a mysterious and no-doubt unclean past and then some situation arises and they phone someone and the mysterious-past character says something along the line of “I need your help with x thing” and the person phoned goes “I told you, I stopped doing x thing years ago” and mysterious-past character says something very vague like “You owe me, remember? Vegas, 1994?” And the phoned person immediately is like “I’ll be right over”

[alienshepard]

that’s what the fuck I’m talking about 👏👏

[inkskinned]

this body found me  and i said please reform yourself from clay make pretty from what is un/pretty make wisp from thick, make beauty in the age of the dissolving   my body looked up and said we will make you sturdy  you will survive and when the time comes, when you are no longer cursing bones for their width or muscles for their  existence    you’ll say god bless the fat on my hips; hills i did not die on

but instead found home between.

[circeswife]

writing is weird because sometimes I’ll have no ideas and everything in my head is kind of quiet but then something will happen and it’s like there’s these goblins living in my brain that just start shouting little phrases at me until I sit down and finally write the poem or story or whatever

[circeswife]

ancient greek and roman poets:  sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story

me, banging pots and pans together:  wake the fuck up goblins!!  what the fuck is up!!

[soft-butch-cassidy]

i saw hewwo in voice chat because

it either instantly aggros all allies or i get a returning chorus of “HEWWO??? AWE YOU THEWE?” from all cursed friends who are immune to the aggro effects of hewwo

either way it gets everyone’s attention immediately

[soft-butch-cassidy]

“Hewwo?” Cantrip. Instant. Verbal component. Duration one minute, no concentration. Upon casting, everyone in hearing range rolls a will save. On a failed save they immediately become hostile to the caster. Anyone else with this cantrip does not need to make the save and can also cast Hewwo as a free action on everyone previously affected. Instead of repeating the will save, each person affected by the original Hewwo immediately gets advantage on melee attacks and strength checks, and disadvantage on concentration, ranged attacks, charisma checks, and dexterity checks for the duration.

Which OC could pick up Thor’s hammer?

[politicalmamaduck]

Writing about a child rapist did not make Vladimir Nabokov a child rapist.

Writing about an authoritarian theocracy did not make Margaret Atwood an authoritarian theocrat.

Writing about adultery did not make Leo Tolstoy an adulterer.

Writing about a ghost did not make Toni Morrison a ghost.

Writing about a murderer did not make Fyodor Dostoevsky a murderer.

Writing about a teenage addict did not make Isabel Allende a teenage addict.

Writing about dragons and ice zombies did not make George R.R. Martin either of those things.

Writing about rich heiresses, socially awkward bachelors, and cougar widows did not make Jane Austen any of those things.

Writing about people who can control earthquakes did not make N.K. Jemisin able to control earthquakes.

Writing about your favorite characters and/or ships in situations that you choose does not make you a bad person.

It’s a shame that in this day and age these things need to be said.

When you’re a writer, sometimes you have to wander to uncomfortable places. These places do not make you what you write.

Au of the day or something

Okay so first auotdos in two years How about an Au where I actually keep up with accounts I make and post consistently!? No? Not funny? I gotta make a real one? Fine, So I've been toying with this Au for awhile now that's either fantasy in a more tolken/dnd sense or a Vikings and goblins and dragons oh my sense and I can't pick, but the basic idea is that Gilbert (cause of course this is still hetalia) is a normal/average person in whatever world this is (except for some obvious physical features of course) and Matthew is a dragon. A dragon who can be human whenever he wants, but still a dragon. And there is a lot more then that and I may write more on it tomorrow, but it is 1:30 in the morning and I need to go to sleep.

[insertarstynamehere]

Hello again

Wow I have not done anything on here in well over a year. So ... Hello again my 16(?? How did that happen???) followers! I'll definitely start posting stuff here again soon (though it probably won't be all hetalia like it was before since I've gotten into a lot of other stuff since then) and I hope you'll stick around for it! Anyways, see you then
