a lot of writing is sort of watching the film in your head like oh sorry can’t write the chapter yet i have to repeat hallucinate the dialogue first

[luftnarp-writes-things]

finally watched kpop demon hunters and while I reeeeally don't know that fandom (it crosses my dash sometimes) I can deffo see the fanfiction appeal of playing with the dynamics between a bad girl, an autistic people-pleaser girl, and an internally tortured main character girl

I will forever die on the hill that one of Florence's biggest influences and inspirations (and very rarely acknowledged because most music journalists don't see past the rigid boxes they put artists on) is Loreena Mckennitt. From the aesthetics, to the voice, the vibe, the music. They are truly mother and daughter. The arrangements of the recently released Chamber Edition of Everybody Scream just prove my point.

If you don't know Loreena check her entire discography because she is truly one of the greats, of all time.

it would be fun if an angel and a vampire were friends i think

[valtsv]

vampire: ugh, you mortals simply can't comprehend the timescale i live on. i've watched your empires rise and fall, your cities crumble to dust. i find your short little lives amusing at best. i -

angel: HI, I HAVE BEEN ALIVE SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME AND I NOTICED YOU ARE ALSO SOMEWHAT OLD?

vampire: ...sure. hey what was the dawn of time like?

angel: PRETTY BORING ACTUALLY. NOTHING ELSE EXISTED YET.

vampire: oh, man, i feel you. i slept through, like, the entire 14th century it was so boring. everyone was dying of plague and shit anyway so i didn't miss much.

[valtsv]

vampire: hey i am outside your apartment

angel: YOU'VE JUST BEEN STANDING THERE? FOR HOW LONG?

vampire: uhhhhhhh a mere speck in comparison to our immortal lives so don't worry about it honestly. i need you to invite me in though.

angel: OF COURSE, I'M SO SORRY. PLEASE COME IN.

vampire: *steps over the threshold and immediately starts hissing and coughing like a cat with a bad hairball*

angel: OH, I'M SO SORRY. MY APARTMENT IS CONSIDERED HOLY GROUND BECAUSE I LIVE IN IT. I SHOULD HAVE WARNED YOU.

vampire: *coughing* it's fine. do you - *cough* *wheeze* what are your thoughts on chinese? i know a great place just a couple of blocks from here

Iranian photographer Hossein Fatemi, offers a glimpse of an entirely different side to Iran than the image usually broadcasted by domestic and foreign media. In his photo series An Iranian Journey, many of the photographs reveal an Iran that most people never see, presenting an eye-opening look at the amazing diversity and contrasts that exist in the country.

[antlered-vixen]

I see a lot of people reblogging, well-meaningly and with anti-war sentiment at heart, Iranian photographs and art and so on. But so much of it focuses on very exoticized imagery that, while a true part of the country - yes, there’s women in black chador and old men with donkeys in dust-bowls - also helps sustain the image of Iran as remote, alien, and already desolate (therefore, how much can life really change with a bit of carpet-bombing? Right?) This is also Iran. Lounges and parties and rock bands and youth culture and skateboards and graffiti art and a lively hip hop scene and acrylic nails and a thriving, multi-faceted culture that the wide-scale destruction of infrastructure, hospitals, roads, industrial sites, etc, will devastate for decades to come.

thoughts on americanising fic

i’m american, i don’t care

i’m american, i would rather you americanise your fic

i’m not american, i don’t care

i’m not american, i would rather you americanise your fic

i have a different opinion (pls explain in tags!)

Voting ended onApr 8

​trying to gage this - i personally think it’s unnecessary, as ao3 is not an american territory that im publishing into, but ive had comments before that lead me to think it takes people out of the story. let me know your thoughts! :)

[omgpoindexter]

just to add:

by “americanise” i mean purely in terms of vocab/grammar, for example the use of em dashes is different (in the uk we use -, in the us you use —), or you guys would say “apologize” rather than “apologise”

i agree that if a story is set in america, i wouldn’t be writing “bloody hell” and using “pavement” instead of “sidewalk”. i do think there is some nuance there!

[luftnarp-writes-things]

As a USian who recently attempted British narrator, I wanted to get the word choice right (housemate not roommate) but drew a line at adding an extra 'u' to words.

OP you don't have to dumb things down, it's a gift that fanfiction is global. Americans can stand to learn that things are spelled different in different places. I think they should cope.

[florallychaotic]

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor

[snowonthebeachmp3]

trans actual uk - trans led and run advocacy, education and empowerment organisation

fiveforfive - collective fund for trans women and girls and transfem causes

gendered intelligence - trans led advocacy org

It's really funny when people think Iran is a desert cause we literally have forests in the north?? The Caspian sea is right up there?? Buddy they're still shoveling snow in Sabalan lmaoo

Visual reference:

Sabalan mountain, Ardabil

Masal, Guilan

Saravan forest park, Guilan

Caspian sea

Iranian mutuals mentioned that other provinces like Kurdistan and Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari are missing so here you go ;)

I'll try to list other provinces later but feel free to add your own

Uramanat, Kurdistan province

Sirvan lake, Kurdistan province

Saraab cave, Shar-e-Kurd

Gandoman lagoon, Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari province

[griffonatrix]

i was gonna just leave this in tags but i felt i needed to add the picture: it's wild how people don't get how big iran is, obviously it's racism people just don't care and assume "ah must be a bunch of primitive desert huts" or whatever but like, imagine writing off this whole area as probably some desert because there's a desert in the middle and ignore the whole ocean and two mountain ranges and all the forests and whatnot like even if it was just as big as california that's pretty huge and diverse as climate and geography

[ID: screenshot of a tumblr post by user 'gamerkrillslair' dated January 1st. It reads "woke up in the woods this morning and walked to the store. Got there and my sleeve knife fell out and loudly impacted the floor. Everyone looked at me and all I could think to say is "im allowed to have this" and i quickly left. Im starting 2026 off awesome" the tags read "#first two sentences read like mountain goats lyrics.' /end ID]

The audio is a person singing a song in the style of the band The Mountain Goats. They are playing a guitar and the lyrics are mostly the same as in the above post.

angua von uberwald having facial hair and carrot being attracted to it because he was raised by dwarfs. hear me out

Knowing (vaguely!) a handful of people in middle eastern countries at this point in my life, I am so sick of how US news talks about war. I know I am missing the real story (the people who actually live there). Some of them are relatable weirdos or relatives of people I care about. And I know enough to know I don't know shit about shit! I want to do a deeper dive into art and culture and film etc before we destroy more of it for no goddamn reason. It shouldn't be as easy as it is for USians to shelter ourselves from other people's reality.

[luftnarp-writes-things]

Lots wrong with the current state of the internet but then I find myself chatting about new Mitski album with people I know on three different continents and I am grateful for that moment

[luftnarp-writes-things]

Hey. Hey. Has anybody made a sports jersey that says 'Goncharov' on the back i just think that'd be really fun
