You *will* get your shit together.

Jacket, ze/zem, 27, follows from boatgender. Disco Elysium sideblog. 70% Kim-posting, 30% Skills-posting. I have a rant about the engineering of the Martinaise water-lock ready to go at a moment's notice.

If u want to write a story about a character that’s just you but hotter with a dark twisted backstory and magical powers and a pet falcon or something, I think u should just go ahead and do that. Who’s gonna stop you? The government?? Fuck the police.

[charlon-lumi]

What if someone barges in, points at said character and scream, “Mary Sue!”

[natalieironside]

Tell them to come back with a warrant

need a permission slip? have a permission slip

I went into disco elysium basically blind so the conclusion I came to right away is that Harry had killed the victim (he had amnesia and did so many other bad things, why not that too?) and I was going OHHH OH NOOO OH FUCKKKKK

so when I came clean and told Kim I was like Kim ...... I thinmk I did a bad thing ..... and he just goes. no actually I dont think you did that. youre fine. and it immediately cured me. like okay! 💖 yay! 💖

young artist posting your work online, heed my warning. im holding your face so gently in my hands, you have to stop caring about numbers right now and start caring about making the weirdest and most self-indulgent art you possibly can

[spooksier]

STOP listening to the demon of capitalism and START listening to the angel of hedonism, i love you i believe in you keep making what you love forever ok?

A WIP can sit dormant for a year and a half and still be happy to see you.

[libraford]

If you find yourself ashamed of the work that Past You did, that's understandable- you might be a different person now. But the WIP doesn't hold it against you. Maybe you have a better ending now. Maybe its worse. They're just glad to see you're still here.

[libraford]

I wrote myself into a corner about a year ago and then didn't have any time to write due to job things. And for awhile I sort of gave up because I started to feel resentful that I couldn't finish it.

And then about a week ago I dusted off the laptop and got back to it.

And the little people that live in the word document were happy to see me, and we picked up about where we started. And we worked out an ending that made sense and felt good, even if that part isn't written yet.

They weren't mad. And I didn't lose sight of their characterization because they are my friends and I know them. All is well. They knew I needed a break.

need to see kim and harry from your swap AU to Kiss... Kim deserves it sm

[snugglesquiggle]

people always talk about leaving comments on ao3 like it's a nice thing to do, or the best way to encourage writers to keep writing, or overall like it's how you Do Your Part in fandom

and yeah, all those things are true, but having spent the past few months leaving enthusiastic comments on as many things as i can, i have a different perspective

you should leave comments on fics because it's fun

taking the time to stop and focus on what i like about a story has made me way more aware of what's going on in stories and what i like about them. there's bit more actual comprehension and appreciation and not just beaming content into my eyes to fill time

i like noticing cool little things in fics, or riffing on funny events. i've never been very good at speculating or picking apart characters, but sometimes something clicks and it rocks.

and of course it's pretty nice when you get a response and it's clear you've made another person happy

so yeah, you should leave comments for your own sake, too. it makes reading better!

this comic is pure self entertainment lol

[sangji-3]

H: who are they, kim?

K: they were doing *special* creative activities all about us.

It's very dangerous, detective.

in the light of that footage of kim parking post, is it actually even established that Kim is a good driver or did we all just assume bc he takes really good care of his kineema

[aceshighaceslow]

Kim would be technically competent but drive like a DICKHEAD. He would drive 100mph in the middle lane on the motorway and be up everyone’s arse trying to overtake them and he would end up on the Shite Parking facebook group for parking across 4 spaces and nobody could do anything about it coz he’s a cop 👍

[earlofbats]

I mean of course he drives like an absolute asshole, Cars are the thing that he likes precisely because of all the control it allows him, the control over powerful machinery fine tuned to his exact specifications. The exact amount of danger. .

Kim's obsession with his car is a throughline with his obsession over authority, a police car can go where it wants as fast or as slowly as it wants.
