Hey there, I'm Isadora! B) I'm a huge lurker, so this tumblr will likely consist me reblogging or talking about things I like and my interests are pretty varied. If you're curious, you can find me on various other sites under the same handle.

“Writing is finally about one thing: going into a room alone and doing it. Putting words on paper that have never been there in quite that way before. And although you are physically by yourself, the haunting Demon never leaves you, that Demon being the knowledge of your own terrible limitations, your hopeless inadequacy, the impossibility of ever getting it right. No matter how diamond-bright your ideas are dancing in your brain, on paper they are earthbound.”

—William Goldman, Adventures in the Screen Trade (Grand Central Publishing, 1989)

“You will hear thunder and remember me, and think: she wanted storms. The rim of the skies will be the colour of hard crimson. And your heart, as it was then, will be on fire.”

-You Will Hear Thunder by Anna Akhmatova (via travelingteacups)

why is it that all the most popular posts on tumblr

are written like this

with no capitals

and no punctuation

i just really want there to be a popular and grammatically correct post on tumblr

[lyallsmistake]

I think the majority of Tumblr’s dialect (is there a word for a written dialect? Hardly anyone speaks Tumblr.) comes from influence within the tag system.

My theory is that the lack of capitalization is stylized, ironic laziness (same reason as the increasingly popular use of abbreviations such as idek and ikr, and particles like desu), whereas the punctuation stems from the tag system, where commas split up tags. So, “this is like, so totally cool” would be tagged “this is like” “so totally cool.”

With commas struck from the tumblr blogger’s arsenal, they rely on run-on sentences and other means to show emphasis. One such means, spacing, is another quirk influenced by the tags. If you repeat a tag, it will only show once, which is why you get “really r e a l l y weird things like this.”

Also common on Tumblr are people who show their enthusiasm through their text by pretending their haNDS ARE FRKEAKIGN OUT AN D THEY CANT TPYE OMFGGGG. This adaptation is actually pretty cool, I think, as it serves to communicate tone across a very toneless medium.

While I’m trying to figure out the best way to upload the song comic in comic form to tumblr, here’s a link where you can see all the images individually.

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching/reading.

My life is out of control and I never get to spend time on the internet anymore. :(

Anyway, I'm gonna be over here catching up with Skip Beat! and judging the Rise of the Guardians fandom for not having a Hetalia crossover yet.

But they have Danny Phantom crossovers, so I may forgive them. Maybe.

The 'Who Needs Sleep When You Have Epic Novel-Length Fanfiction To Read' Multifandom Rec List

There are basically three requirements for a fanfiction to get on this list:

1. I must have read it at some point. 2. It’s got be at least 50,000 words in length. (NaNoWriMo standard) 2a. A series of fics totally has a collective word count, shut up. 3. IT HAS TO BE AN ENDLESS STRING OF AWESOME WORDS THAT LEAVES YOU DROWNING IN FEELS THE ENTIRE WAY THROUGH AND YOU WILL CRY TEARS OF BLOOD OVER THE GLORIOUS WRITING/CHARACTERIZATION/PLOT/WHATHAVEYOU AND GIVE THANKS THAT YOU WERE BORN IN THIS ERA SO YOU WERE ABLE TO WITNESS THIS MASTERPIECE UNFOLD ON YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN AND YOU WILL IGNORE EVERYTHING ELSE IN FAVOUR OF READING JUST ONE MORE CHAPTER BECAUSE YOU NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT RIGHT THIS SECOND OR YOUR SOUL WILL SHRIVEL UP AND DIE AND WHEN YOU’VE READ TO THE END YOU WILL RE-READ IT EVERY TIME YOU FEEL EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BIT BORED AND YEARS LATER YOU WILL RECALL THAT FIC FONDLY WHEN YOU’RE MAKING A REC LIST OF AMAZING FANFICTION

(Of course, your mileage may vary, since these are all fics that I, personally, loved with every last bit of my fangirl heart. There are unmarked spoilers/warnings and I’m using Lizeth’s rec format because I’m lazy.)

he then proceeds to try and show her how serious smuppets are, but his attempts just make her laugh harder

[isadorathegreat]

Tracking #bronanna was the best decision I've ever made.
