Animal Farm, a book criticising totalitarian governments, is getting a visual adaptation where there are silly animals selling their crops to those they're supposed to hate.

The Picture of Dorian Gray, a book written by an author who got imprisoned for sodomy, is getting a visual adaptation where the two characters with clear homoromantic undertones are turned into brothers.

Dracula, a book about a group of friends that explore the themes of antagonism and Victorian anxieties, is getting a visual adaptation where the count falls in love with one of his rape victims.

Wuthering Heights, a book that beats the reader over the head with a bat about how the POC protagonist wants to be privileged and white, is getting a visual adaptation with a white person as the protagonist and a POC as the one he envies.

The Odyssey, a book about a man from Ancient Greece trying to get home from war, is getting a visual adaptation coated in a "Hollywood" aesthetic that rejects accurate armour and casting.

2026 is not a good year for classic literature fans all around.

5 Tiny Writing Tips That Aren’t Talked About Enough (but work for me)

These are some lowkey underrated tips I’ve seen floating around writing communities — the kind that don’t get flashy attention but seriously changed how I write.

1. Put “he/she/they” at the start of the sentence less often.

Try switching up your sentence rhythm. Instead of

“She walked to the window,”

try

“The window creaked open under her touch.”

Keeps it fresh and stops the paragraph from sounding like a checklist.

2. Don’t describe everything — describe what matters.

Instead of listing every detail in a room, pick 2–3 objects that say something.

“A half-drunk mug of tea and a knife on the table”

sets a way stronger tone than

“There was a wooden table, two chairs, and a shelf.”

3. Use beats instead of dialogue tags sometimes.

Instead of:

"I'm fine," she said.

Try:

"I'm fine." She wiped her hands on her skirt.

It helps shows emotion, and movement.

4. Write your first draft like no one will ever read it.

No pressure. No perfection. Just vibes. The point of draft one is to exist. Let it be messy and weird — future you will thank you for at least something to edit.

5. When stuck, ask: “What’s the most fun thing that could happen next?”

Not logical. Not realistic. FUN. It doesn’t have to stay — but chasing excitement can blast through writer’s block and give you ideas you actually want to write.

What’s a tip that unexpectedly helped with your writing? Let me know!! 🍒

the more things like this happen, the more i realize we will never be friends after all. i will be me and you will be a stranger I've spent my whole life with.

E.J Sue’s “Mechaforce” is one of the few “How to Draw” books I would point newbies looking to get into drawing robots to. It emphasises knowing the basics (Very difficult to draw a robot properly if you can’t use perspective) and fundamental shapes and even arm techniques, and gives a neat insight into how mechanical forms work in art.

These are just a few of the examples from the anatomy section of the book. It’s currently on sale on Amazon and worth checking out, though I will note it is not a “be all end all” resource, thankfully you can fill in your knowledge gaps elsewhere.

“Gaza is not the most beautiful of cities. Her coast is not bluer than those of other Arab cities. Her oranges are not the best in the Mediterranean. Gaza is not the richest of cities. (Fish and oranges and sand and tents forsaken by the winds, smuggled goods and hands for hire.) And Gaza is not the most polished of cities, or the largest. But she is equivalent to the history of a nation, because she is the most repulsive among us in the eyes of the enemy – the poorest, the most desperate, and the most ferocious. Because she is a nightmare. Because she is oranges that explode, children without a childhood, aged men without an old age, and women without desire. Because she is all that, she is the most beautiful among us, the purest, the richest, and most worthy of love.”

I hired a body movement coach, Jean-Louis Rodrigue, because I wanted the audience to be able to distinguish each version of this character based on how they moved, walked and talked. He has a fascinating process to help you get into that character. He will read the script and pick a specific animal for you to copy. For Alpha Waymond, it was an eagle; for CEO Waymond, a fox; and for Waymond in the present universe, it was a squirrel. — Ke Huy Quan

frumpycunt

so i just finished watching the extended editions of the trilogy which is nearly 13 hrs long and this meme is correct somehow. this is the only line legolas speaks to frodo in the entire series. the only other debatable line is a scene in fellowship where legolas is speaking to gimli but frodo just happens to be near them and he’s cut to for a reaction shot. i wouldn’t really count it though since it wasnt directed at him.

frumpycunt

someone already posted this but the kicker is at the end of return of the king where frodo sees the fellowship again and calls out to everyone by name except for legolas lmaooo

The second girl at least read the book to confirm that it was shit, she even had Capote on deck as backup. Chick 1 is just lazy

kaylapocalypse-deactivated20201

Nope. Girl 2 saw that Girl 1′s absolutely accurate analysis was being shut down just because it wasn’t stated in an intellectual way (in spite of its validity). So Girl 2 reinforced Girl 1′s opinions in solidarity and made sure that it was absolutely clear that Girl 1 was factually correct. WITHOUT taking credit for her observations (”kim is right” instead of “Actually, kim”)

Girls supporting Girls.

Girls not letting other girls be treated poorly.

If you read thirty pages of a book and hate it, that’s a good analysis. Girl 1 literally said, “It sucked for these reasons, and I only got through 30 pages.” She was absolutely paying attention and trying to get it. But if all you get is a headache, fuck that book.

An elderly couple named Bill and Helen went to the county fair each year.

One year, a man at the fair was giving helicopter rides for 50 dollars. Having never been in a helicopter in all his years, Bill begged Helen to let them ride. She refused, quipping “50 bucks is 50 bucks.”

The following year, the man was there again, and again Bill begged for a ride. Again Helen turned it down, saying “50 bucks is 50 bucks.”

The third year the same exact conversation happened, except this time the pilot overheard. He offered the couple a free ride, but with one condition. They must not make a sound while in the air, or they would have to pay the 50 dollars. Bill and Helen agreed and climbed aboard.

As soon as they left the ground, the pilot began performing hair raising maneuvers in the air, but try as he might, he could not get the couple to utter a sound. When they finally touched down, the pilot turned to Bill and exclaimed, “that was an amazing show of self control, you have earned your free ride”.

Bill replied, “well, I nearly said something when Helen fell out, but 50 bucks is 50 bucks.”

You are a minion in the service of a dark lord. Your master has tasked you with creating and spreading a prophecy about a chosen one, the only person who can defeat him, so that the so-called “heroes” will stop resisting his rule and instead wait for their savior to arrive.

meg-moira

Anyone who has served the mighty Demon Lord Morgard for as many years as Vez has, knows when to grovel, when to lavish with praise, and when to yes m’lord until the crackling embers cease their raining from the demon lord’s flame drenched eye sockets. Vez has seen first-hand what happens to those too stupid or stubborn to bend to Morgard’s whims.

Vez is neither stupid nor stubborn. He values his life too highly to trade it away for sheer stupidity, or worse - the stubborn, relentless sort of stupidity which so many heroes wear like those crests on their useless shields.

When Morgard approaches Vez, his favored seer, demanding a prophecy which will stem the endless stream of foolhardy heroes (little more than pests to one such as Morgard), Vez does what any sane minion would do. He lies through his teeth.

“Yes,” Vez says, dipping delicate fingers into his wide basin. The water is icy and it sharpens his senses. “I see it,” he says - though in truth, the only thing he sees is his own reflection. Dark skin. Elegantly braided hair. Bright gold painting the rims of his clever eyes.

“What do you see?” Morgard asks, hunching eagerly over the bowl. He is ten feet tall and monstrous in his great cloak. He wears a deer skull on his head, and whatever lies beneath is inky and immaterial - apart from those red, ember eyes.

Vez stares down at his reflection and can’t help recall the last hero - a grim faced woman with a brave, steady gaze. She’d sworn to defeat Morgard so that she might save her enslaved, suffering people. By the end, Vez watched as Morgard bent over her, the chalk white skull shaking atop his head as he sucked the soul from her body. The day before had been a young man - burned to a crisp. And before that, twins - crushed beneath each of Morgard’s cruel feet.

Vez thinks of the seemingly endless numbers of heroes willing to throw away their very lives for the barest hope of a better, demon-lordless world. It isn’t that Vez sympathizes with them. Gods no. He can’t afford that. He does tire of all the death though.

Besides, he has no real vision to offer Morgard. What is the harm in one more lie?

“There is only one in all of the world who can defeat you, my lord,” Vez hums, artfully twisting his fingers through the water. Waves lap at the basin’s silver edges. “And what luck, my lord! The only one in the world who might defeat you is a coward at heart.”

As the demon lord roars with laughter, Vez smiles into his basin.

It really is a perfect trick, he thinks to himself. The brave heroes will no longer have reason to throw themselves at Morgard - for their willingness to die separates them from any coward. While a true coward would never willingly risk their life fighting Morgard to begin with.

Word spreads of the prophecy. Whispers are delivered to the right ears and easily decoded messages placed in carefully selected hands. Soon enough, all surrounding lands know of the impossible prognostication.

Of course, heroes try to find ways around the prophecy, but not nearly so many as before. Heroic deaths, which had once been a near daily occurrence, are now a mere monthly affair. It doesn’t make the screams necessarily easier to overhear, but Vez appreciates that he no longer needs to stuff his ears with cloth every other hour.

Vez goes about his business of foretelling (which is sometimes genuine, but mostly telling the demon lord what he wants to hear), and doesn’t look at the heroes who still come to die, doesn’t listen to them, doesn’t think of them…until the children arrive.

Vez is sprinkling a rich maroon powder into his basin for purely aesthetic purposes when he hears the doors to the main chambers open and close. The sound that follows is the metallic snap of guard’s boots - then, the telltale, high-pitched sobs of children.

He stands before his purple basin, one hand reaching for the cloth to plug his ears, his other reaching blindly for the door. In the end, he tucks the cloth in his pockets and slinks silently into the grand hall.

Wizards and Sorcerers are very different schools of magic. One arises as an accident of birth, a heritage; the other, from a lifetime of training and study. The Ministry has a grudging respect for these muggle magic users, but the Sorcerer Supreme is not well-received today in Diagon Alley.

Farewell online privacy

What happened?

Trump happened.

just get a VPN?

You can’t just tell people to ‘get a VPN (Virtual Private Network)’. Buying a VPN is like buying a house. It’s very very important. Having no VPN or having a ‘wrong’ one can seriously damage your life. Especially for Americans because their privacy laws are garbage. I am going to try explain why you should get a VPN but bare with me, I am from Germany and my English is far from perfect.

Let’s start with a simple test. Click this link here: https://whatismyipaddress.com/ It will tell your IP adres, your ISP (internet service provider), and your location. The location might not be very accurate, but then again, it’s just a simple website. Imagine what the government can do!

So basically, everyone can find out where you live. But there is more danger. Your ISP. Your ISP logs your every move online and they are required to keep it in case the government wants access to it (or if a 3rd party wants to buy your data (yikes). They have everything. What websites you visit. How long you stay on a website. What you download. Your search terms. European laws are more subtle on this but if you are from the US you are #@*#&, especially because Trump doesn’t support the open internet. It’s scary but maybe in the future you can’t get a job because the recruiter knows your searched on ‘how to deal with depression’ or anythings else that’s supposed to be private because it’s your f*cking right. Or you get a $100k fine because you pirated a movie 15 years ago. You need a VPN. You’re dumb for not using one. but what does a VPN do?

A VPN encrypts all your data so if it were be intercepted no one can ‘crack the code’ and damage your privacy.

Usually being online goes like this (simplified): Your computer —-> ISP (—–> keeps data —–> sells it)

But with a VPN it goes like: Your computer —–> VPN (encrypts data)—–> ISP (ISP can’t see shit)

Furthermore, a VPN hides your IP address and location by giving you another IP address located in Spain for example (you can often choose from a list and change as many times as you want).

Now that you know why you should get a VPN and what is does it is important to educate yourself because people often choose the wrong VPN. VPN providers are also businesses and have to obey the law. If you choose a VPN provider located in the US then you are throwing your money away because the laws in the US shits on your privacy. If the US gov wants the provider to give all their logs they have to obey. The ISP still can’t see what you are doing online and sell your data but the US gov can interfere with your VPN provider so NEVER CHOOSE A PROVIDER LOCATED IN THE US.

I just wanted to make that very clear so my followers don’t buy false security.

There is still more danger! Who says your VPN provider isn’t selling your data? You need to check their logging policy. Do they keep logs? If yes, what for? For how long do they keep them? Tip: Choose a provider who doesn’t keep logs

More about law The US is part of the Five Eyes program (the worst):

The Five Eyes, often abbreviated as FVEY, is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. These countries are bound by the multilateral UKUSA Agreement, a treaty for joint cooperation in signals intelligence (source)

There is also a Nine Eyes (bit better) and Fourteen Eyes Program (better). You don’t want a VPN provider who is located in one the Five Eyes countries. If you had to choose go for a provider located in a country that’s part of the Fourteen Eyes Program or even better, go for a country that isn’t part of any program!

I know this is a shitty explanation and please pardon my english but now it’s time to do your own research. Take your privacy seriously. Maybe WWIII breaks out and you get killed for liking the ‘wrong’ FB-page.

Go to this website: https://thatoneprivacysite.net/simple-vpn-comparison-chart/

Make sure that your future VPN provider both has green boxes for Privacy Jurisdiction and Privacy Logging.

I recommend ovpn.se and trust.zone. ovpn is located in Sweden so they are part of the 14 Eyes Program and they keep minimal logs. Their business ethics, however, are alright.

Trustzone is located in the Seychelles. No country can interfere and their privacy jurisdiction is the best you can get. The US want your data but needs to get it from Trustzone? The Seychelles will simply give them the finger and wave them goodbye. However, this makes this provider very appealing for people who torrent and criminals because they keep no logs (and that is how it shoud be) Also, there are almost no marketing efforts so this provider is one the cheapest)

Also, often providers such as ExpressVPN are being called ‘The Best’ on websites about VPNs but know that this is just marketing which also makes those provider more expensive (and they too shit on your privacy)

This must be the worst article you have ever read but please, please take your privacy very seriously.

EDIT: I got many people asking me which provider I use. For those who want to know, I use Trust Zone. They offer a free 3-day trial with no strings attached. But still do your own research!

writing-prompt-s

I am also with Trustzone but I think you forgot to explain one of it’s most important features. It protects you when you are using someone else’s Wi-Fi. If you are at Starbucks and you use their Wi-Fi your privacy is at risk. Anyone with ill intentions could steal your information. Especially if you are using an unsecured Wi-Fi hotspot. With a VPN your data gets encrypted so no one can steal it.

Wait, what’s going, on? Did trump destroy internet privacy with a bill or something? Where’s the news? Oh wait, why am I getting visions of Alex Jones and selling water purifiers?

thecrystalfems

He hasn’t yet but he says he wants to. And if he is serious about it it would be really easy to do. Since all our data is already recorded, as the person above explained.

coltrer

Trump wants more surveillance of Muslim Americans. This in a country where internet privacy is already close to non-existent.

Trust.Zone has a free trial. Use it.

greeneyespurpleheart

Don’t tell me you just wanted to scroll past this. Stop looking at pictures of cats for a moment, okay? Don’t you realize how important this is? This is dangerous! ‘America, the best FREE country in the world’ my ass.

With this new law your ISP can sell your Internet history which could include passwords, usernames, religion, credit card numbers, race and much more to the highest bidder. So here is what I want you to do. You are going to read the whole thing and before you think ’this is so important. Let me reblog this real quick and go back to admiring cats again-’ NO! Don’t reblog this. Take action first. Then reblog. Sign up for a free trial! Trust.Zone offers one (here). Yes. It might be difficult to set up a VPN for some people. But is that going to stop you from protecting yourself and your family? 30 minutes. 30 minutes is all that it takes. 5 if you know how to install software. The problem with some of you is that you see ‘difficult’ as something negative. I want you to see difficult differently. I need you to push through this stuff. You are going to protect yourself. There is nothing negative about that. VPNs are fun and costsaving too! A VPN bypasses geographical restrictions so you can access websites you normally can’t or you could start Netflix’s one month free trial over and over again- forever. And it’s legal! (unless you use it to buy weapons etc.,) Don’t tell yourself that you are too tired and that you will do this tomorrow. Because that isn’t going to happen and you know it. You have to do this right now. You only have to click on it. Don’t let this/shit/life just happen to you. Take yourself seriously. Get a VPN.

Privacy is not a privilege, it’s a fundamental human right

The seven aspects of the universe gathered in the room, Good, Evil, Life, Death, Order, Chaos, and Dave, from accounting.

mpwritesstuff

Dave from accounting was late. Again.

Chaos tapped his fingers impatiently on the glass table, looking around the room with solid black eyes and a displeased expression on his face. Death twirled his scythe around, nearly hitting Good and earning an angry whisper from her. Evil grinned manically at Good and reclined back in his chair, kicking his legs up onto the meeting table. Life and Order exchanged quiet conversation, occasionally looking in another aspect’s direction, as if to make sure they weren’t listening.

Chaos yawned, leaning back in his chair. He stared intently at the two conversers, trying to make out what they were saying. He wasn’t generally the best at lipreading, but he noticed words like “Evil” and “psychopath”.

Put two and two together, and they start calling Evil a psychopath. Chaos smirked. He knew entropy would ensue if he told Evil about this. Oh, how he loved when chaos - literal chaos - erupted between the aspects. He always found a pleasure in seeing everything fall apart.

Finally, the door to the meeting swung wide open, and Dave from accounting ran in, panting, clutching numerous papers and his briefcase tightly to his chest. His glasses were crooked on his face, his hair unkempt and wet, maybe from sweat, Chaos assumed, but he wasn’t sure.

“Dave.” Evil smiled, crossing his legs. “You finally show up, huh?”

“Lost track of time,” Dave panted, slumping into a seat at the head. He dumped his briefcase and his paper onto the table, getting slightly frantic when some of them nearly fell onto the floor and saying, “Also it was windy, so my briefcase flew open. I nearly lost all of today’s meeting papers.”

Order folded her hands onto the table and stared at Dave with malicious intent whilst keeping a neutral expression. “Excellent excuse, but it wasn’t windy at all today.”

“C’mon, give the dude a break.” Death propped his scythe on the wall behind him and said, “‘Oughta blame Chaos for it. Y’know how he likes messing with the poor guy.”

“That was a week ago!” Chaos protested. “It was April 1st anyways; what was I supposed to do?”

“Not make him late, of course!” Good rose to her feet and pointed an accusing finger at Chaos. “You caused the wind, Chaos. Admit it!”

Chaos put his hands in the air in mock defeat. “It was just a breeze, alright?”

Dave growled. “Breeze my ass. Felt like I was running through a tornado.” His shoulders tensed, eyes glowing for a brief second until he relaxed again, the glimmer disappearing. “Sorry, I-” He sighed, running a hand through his disheveled hair. “Shall we begin?”

Life nodded. “Yes. Let’s begin.”

Dave shuffled some papers around and adjusted his glasses. He peered down at one and said, “Alright, meeting with the aspects are in session, yada yada yada. When I say your name, please say here if you are here.”

“We’re all here. Just get to the point.” Death sat up in his chair, hands clutching the sides of the chair. “Why didja call the meeting anyways? Was it something Chaos did?”

“I didn’t do anything this time!” Chaos yelped, putting his hands in the air again.

Dave shook his head. “Nope. It wasn’t Chaos. He didn’t do anything.”

“Told ya!” Chaos shouted gleefully.

“However,” Dave continued, “It has to do with Earth.”

Good stared blankly at him. “Earth? What are you talking about? I thought everything was going fine with that planet.”

Life nodded in agreement. “Last week you said Earth was doing just fine.” She leaned in closer to the table and asked, “What’s up with it now?”

“Well, ah, let’s just say that…” Dave looked around nervously before taking a deep breath and saying, “Let’s just say it’s due date to crumble has been sped up…slightly.”

Order replied, “Well, that’s doesn’t seem like very important news.” She summoned a balance with weights on either side and peered at them for a while before saying, “So, the original death date was three eons, correct? So, that would mean-” Order took a weight off one side. The balance didn’t dip whatsoever. “-it’s new death date would be one eon. Huh.” She leaned back in her chair. “Not so bad.”

“Actually, that is the problem.” Dave wrung his hands. “It’s supposed to go in the next five millennia.”

Evil’s chair tipped too far, causing him to land on the floor with a terrified yelp. Order stared in horror as weights disappeared and the balance tipped. Death, Life, and Good exchanged horrified glanced.

Chaos tried to make sense of the situation, but, being the living aspect of chaos, he couldn’t. Next five millennia…that’s far too quick for Earth to leave. What were they supposed to do, warn them? No one would believe anyone in the room. The last time they tried to warn them, every single one of them were regarded as weirdos. No way would that work again.

There was nothing Chaos or anyone else could do to help them. The humans were not even close to building a ship that would get them to Mars. Nothing was going to work.

Chaos rubbed his temples as Life asked, “But…how? Why? What happened?”

“A minor shift in the cosmos, is all,” Dave replied nervously, “but it’s mostly because of contamination everywhere, overpopulation, and lots of other incredibly terrible things that wouldn’t be polite of me to say at a formal meeting.”

“At least courtesy still exists,” Good muttered, burying her head into her arms.

“So what do you suggest, Order?” Evil asked as he got up from off the floor. “I mean, what do you think would do us any good?”

Order sighed. “I should know, but I don’t.”

“We could always give them another disease,” Death suggested, leaning back into his chair.

“Death!” Life leered at him, and he shrugged.

“What? It’s not like I have any better ideas,” Death took his scythe from the wall and rested it in his lap. “I mean, if I have to, I’ll do the deed.”

Chaos shook his head. “No. I’ve already stirred up enough disarray around the current virus. It’ll be too much work for me.”

“And the rest of us,” Good added, muffled by her arms.

Everyone turned to Life, but even she shook her head and said softly, “There’s nothing we can do. It’s inevitable.”

Everything was silent. No one spoke.

That is, until Evil broke the silence.

“Well, why don’t we all listen to Dave?” he suggested. “Surely he’s got an answer.”

Dave’s eyes widened. “I don’t know,” he blurted out quickly. “There’s-there’s nothing we can do.”

“Bullshit.” Evil propped his legs on the table again and crossed his arms. “C’mon. We know what you can do. Just do what you can.”

“Ahahaha…” Dave rubbed the back of neck. “I don’t know if that’s a great idea.”

Evil rolled his eyes. “Relax. Nothing’s gonna go wrong.”

“Stop stressing out the guy!” Life snapped. “Let him be. He doesn’t have to do anything.”

“Evil’s right,” Order said quietly.

Good lifted her face from her arms. “What?”

Chaos was the first to notice. “The balance,” he whispered. “It’s in equilibrium.”

Order nodded. “It is. If Dave does what Evil suggested, then the Earth death date will be back to three eons.” She looked back at Dave, who was silently inching towards the door. “Dave, this is important. If you do it, then there will be harmony in all aspects.”

“Equal amount of work,” Chaos added.

Dave sighed in defeat. “Fine. I’ll do it. If it’s absolutely necessary.”

Evil nodded, satisfied. “Very good. Now, Time, let’s make Earth go back a few years, shall we?”
