The Forsaken Prince

I think the plot was lost when we stopped building for aesthetic and instead cost minimization

What is rebellion but a burning desire for a future freedom

one of the things that came from the pokemon leaks is that originally there were going to be penguins that looked like bowling pins, which is why spheal is a ball. The funny thing is, that's very much how nature works. It's like how avocados evolved to be digested by giant sloths, but they giant sloths are gone, and now here's this random fruit with a pit the size of a golf ball.

The saddest thing about the Pokémon leaks is the evident ignorance of folklore among fans. Sorry to tell you this western gamers, but your ancestors married seal women, were seduced by swans, and fucked half-divine giants. You just don’t remember.

I just reada really good fic but halfway through I realized "oh shit this is really familiar.... didn't I write something like this once?" And as I kept reading I kept predicting what happened next and the further I went the more convinced I was that they'd ripped off my story-

like, copied the ENTIRE plot and re-written it, just better than I had? The characters were more fleshed-out than mine were, and the POV was more interesting, and the pace made more sense- but it was MY STORY?

So close to the end I was like "holy shit.. do I message them? Ask if my story inspired theirs? Should I be angry? Flattered?" Cause their tags and description didn't mention me AT ALL, which, sure, it's fanfiction to begin with, but if you're using my work than at least credit me as inspo, right? Just to be courteous?

But I get to the end of the final chapter, and it's not finished, and I'm kind of disappointed cause I never finished my story and I was really immersed in their version now and had been looking forwards to seeing how they tied up my loose ends- so I scroll to the bottom to leave a comment, and.

It's MY URL.

IT WAS MY STORY THE WHOLE TIME.

THE ONE *I WROTE*.

In *2013*.

And FORGOT ABOUT

BECAUSE I WAS SO INSECURE ABOUT MY SLOPPY, SHALLOW, AMETEUR WRITING

And I'm just sitting here now staring into space thinking about every shitty story I've ever written now like

IT WAS ALL GOOD?

IT WAS GOOD THIS WHOLE DAMN TIME??

I'M A GOOD WRITER?????

i worry we are losing touch with the True Meaning Of Halloween (avoiding the fairies)

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

celebrate a good old-fashioned Halloween with the very important traditions of:

lighting candles in jack o'lanterns (to keep away the fairies)

roasting s'mores on bonfires (to keep away the fairies)

bobbing for apples, fortunetelling, ouija boards, and other assorted divination rituals (to forewarn those doomed to be kidnapped by fairies)

haunted houses (to preach against the dangers that lurk across the veil in the otherworld, home of the fairies)

community effort to stuff kids full of candy (that if whisked away (by the fairies) they might resist the temptation (of strange fae foods) long enough to escape)

disguising your face and identity in elaborate costumes (to keep away the FUCKING FAIRIES)
