#unfortunately the kids raised on hustle culture and lack of privacy don’t know much about discretion online and letting hobbies be hobbies

To become a master of writing dialogue, you must first become a master eavesdropper.

Unless you write fantasy. There aren't many elves to stand behind at the grocery store checkout.

2026 roommate: The dishwasher's loaded. 1926 roommate, having a black coffee, a cigarette, a shot of whiskey, two uppers and a downer for breakfast: Then what the fuck's he washing dishes for?

If you get into white work embroidery, you might discover cutwork. And when you start doing cutwork, you might get curious about incorporating detached elements. And before you know it the fabric is gone, you are making needle lace, and there goes the rest of your week.

Buttonhole stitch - not even once.

this might be my silly inconsequential take about this but I think you should support your friends' art endeavours in whatever ways you can and very vehemently

say nice shit about their art. fangirl about it, compliment the art fundamentals or the vibe or the color whatever. share their posts online

it used to be so easy to create an art community online in the past and now it's hellish. fight the algorithms. spam your friends art. they will either rlly appreciate the attention or straight up need it.

theres something slightly heartbreaking about the thought that the people around you don't care about your creations. by all means, you should create art for yourself but also, sometimes that art is a direct window into your inner world and when friends and loved ones ignore that it can sting pretty bad

that's it folks be nice to each other out there and fight to create meaningful communities

Oat milk was discovered much more recently than you may have known. Like many now-familiar technologies, it was discovered by accident during the Apollo program when NASA discovered what a zero-g environment does to goat milk.

write ‘nothing is set in stone’ on my grave as both a witty joke and a subtle warning that i will be back

[i-would-like-a-jelly-baby]

Anyway, I rewatched Power of Kroll and remembered a lukewarm joke I made like a week ago

i know doctor who is an extremely writer-centric show even for british standards and as a union member and certified screenwriting freak*, i do appreciate that, but maybe we should be more aware of and vocal about the fact that Blink (aka the most episode ever) was in fact directed by a woman. her name is Hettie MacDonald and im a little annoyed that ive only heard of almost everything she's done but only saw her doctor who work (she also directed The Magician's Apprentice / The Witch's Familiar)

*bit of a chicken egg situation here where i also only got into screenwriting bc dw is so writer focused

saying "there is no platonic explanation for this" but its about people being just down right nasty. they really do not like each other. not in that way or any other

i feel like tumblr would appreciate the Rivers of London series.

like we have:

Narrator/main character who wanted to be an architect and describes all buildings in very specific terminology who also can recognise when ghosts are from because of their clothes because he watched too much Doctor Who

Debatably immortal guy from the 40s, canonically aroace, dead wife character is some guy he knew who died in the war, gets annoying about Latin conjugations

Terrifying housemaid who eats people. also writes rpf about the first two characters and posts it on ao3

Toby the dog

The living embodiment of a river, very slay

Police officer whose face fell off

Isaac Newton - the father of modern magic

[sycamorality]

and always remember every character is aroace unless stated otherwise

every time i type five or more exclamation marks i think of this quote. it's my equivalent to that damn bbc sherlock line about scratch marks around the phone charging port. i can never escape the spectre of terry pratchett judging my punctuation habits
