“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you

"how did you get into writing" girl i've been tormented by the visions since i was eight years old

My favorite scenes in the LotR books are the ones where Legolas has vital information and just decides it's not important to share.

Like when Gandalf spent literal PAGES trying to figure out why the vibes were off in Moria and Legolas chimes in with just "it's a balrog :) that shit's evil :) we're so fucked :)" like what do you MEAN you knew already and just didn't tell him??

Or at the beginning of Two Towers when Aragorn thinks there's something nearby so he puts his ear to the ground to listen, and then like 10 minutes later is like "hmmm i hear horses" and Legolas is just like "mm yep. there are 105 blond bitches with spears" like you just let your friend put his face in the dirt and you can SEE them??

Legolas please gain a sense of urgency

[knives-in-the-dishwater]

It's because legolas hasn't spent enough time with non-elves to remember that they don't know what he knows.

gandalf is scratching his head in moria, and legolas is thinking "oh man, the wizard noticed something off *besides* the obvious balrog that we all are aware of??"

"I wonder what aragorn is listening for? must be hard to hear, what with all of the horses. How many horses are there, actually? 1... 2... 3..."

[taavicleric]

"What do your elvish eyes see?" is Aragorn saying, as politely as possible, "Because the REST OF US are at a significant disadvantage, Prince Dipshit."

in the absence of ao3 I think we should go become tattoo artists, flowershop owners, students, members of a band, long term rivals, coworkers, or get selected for a politically advantageous arranged marriage.

big shout out to tumblr for being the first major site in like two years to implement an ill-advised "feature" nobody wants, likes or respects that doesn't involve AI

As much as I want to support ethical farming practices I will be buying the cheapest bag of frozen chicken thighs as much as the next frugal/poor person which is why animal welfare needs to be legislated, not left up to the invisible hand of the free market or some bullshit. Invisible hand of the free market finds itself around a lot of throats.

"Invisible hand of the free market finds itself around a lot of throats."

That is such a line.

[jessaerys]

everyone's always like "the media from my childhood that isn't good on revisit" but no one talks about the media from your childhood that IS actually that good and on revisit and you're like oh fuck oh shit that was masterful in technical ways i was too young to grasp but which still affected me nonetheless. and that explains why you're so prone to haterism. sorry they showed me the real good stuff first so i assumed all of the following stuff i experienced would be equally resonant. as if it's my fault

What is it about laying on the floor when you're overwhelmed that makes everything feel so much better?

When God has ceased to answer your prayers, it feels good to distance yourself from Heaven.

Adding this to my list of incredibly raw fucking lines gifted from the impossible wonder that is tumblr

[renthony]

Sometimes I think about how Over the Garden Wall, which had ten short episodes, was marketed as a "miniseries" on release.

And now we live in a world where nine episodes are called a "season," and if a showrunner wants more than that, they have to beg and plead and run social media campaigns getting the fans to help with the begging and pleading. And some assholes will be like, "ugh, how incompetent of the showrunners to not be able to tell a huge story in only nine episodes" instead of recognizing how the showrunners are getting screwed.

Fucking hell.

[renthony]

Couple of people in the notes have said this is for budget reasons, because studios don't want to spend a bunch of money on unproven showrunners.

To that I say, Emmy-award-winner Genndy Tartakovsky, the man who created multiple hit shows for Cartoon Network such as Samurai Jack and Dexter's Laboratory, still had his passion project cancelled by Adult Swim after a single ten-episode season, despite having planned for more. Unicorn: Warriors Eternal will never be finished.

When even Genndy Tartakovsky is getting fucked over, after having made multiple award-winning shows for the network, you can't really blame it on budgets and "unproven showrunners." Come on now.

[renthony]

#also didnt craig mccracken the dude who also made several successful shows for cartoon network#recently say he pitched netflix like 20 original projects and they said no to every single one#and only greenlit a fosters home for imaginary friends reboot

Oh yeah, absolutely, McCracken is another great example. Cartoon Network has screwed basically all their most notable showrunners at this point, and it's depressing as hell.

his dark materials will literally always work bc every small child wants an animal companion that loves you most and goes on adventures with you and every adult wants an animal companion that can shoulder some of life’s immense psychologically damage for you. and you can pet it

[madmonksandmaenads]

And to tear down the feeble corpse of God! Every kid and adult wants that also!

"actively hungry" + "none of the foods sound good at all" is one of the worst combinations. who let this happen

With the lack of SNAP benefits in the US hitting in a few days, welcome to No Snitch November. If you see somebody taking food? No you didn't. Taking formula? No you didn't. Taking diapers? No you didn't. When the government turns their back on our neighbors, it's our job to protect them.
