Yearning for what you can never have is beginner level. Real yearners know the good shit is what you could freely have if you allowed yourself to, but never will.

i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake

#HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY

[thehummingbirdsmatter]

I love when a meme gets so many steps away from its source material that it would be completely incomprehensible if I didn't know what today's date was

[fireheartedpup]

Question. Why are y'all doing this in March

[atsadi-shenanigans]

To make sure we get the meme jn the fridge to dethaw in time.

I am slowly losing my mind over the shift towards video as the default media format.

I do not find this to be an efficient way to absorb information. I am bored and distracted by the time the largely unnecessary introduction is over. I can't use ctrl+f to find the specific information I'm looking for. If there are instructions to follow, I don't want to have to constantly pause and back up to the part I need.

At least give me a fucking transcript.

[letmefixthatforyou]

I can read faster than you can talk and these videos are wasting my time.

[mayigoto]

When we teach reading comprehension we put a lot of emphasis on skimming and scanning, tools that help you find information in a text without having to read the whole thing in detail. Both techniques are not really possible with video and it is so annoying.

I don't think Tolkien is a good fantasy writer because he scored the highest at some objective Best Fantasy Book Test that every fantasy writer has to take, I think he's a good fantasy writer because he created a world based on things that he was interested in. I feel like a lot of fantasy writers think that they need to create a whole language for their world because Tolkien did and obviously his books are the best so they have to emulate him, but Tolkien did that because he was a linguistics nerd. I think the lesson to be learned from him is not that you have to include elves and deep history and new languages, but that you have to write endlessly about the things you are a huge nerd about and use those things to create your fantasy world

[mayigoto]

I can't find it now but I remember a blog by Patrick Rothfuss in which he was basically making the same point. He said that he is really interested in different currencies and therefore there is a lot of lore and talk about currency in his books. In turn other things are missing or glossed over.

If you are not interested in currency, don't write about it in detail. Focus your worldbuilding on the aspects that interest you. Nobody will come away from a fantasy book missing a currency system if you give them a kickass description of rites of passage or cooking.

that post that's like "if Hamlet and Othello swapped plays, their tragedies would've been avoided" except it's for Andy Weir protagonists

Mark Watney would've been banging on Stratt's door demanding he be tested for the Hail Mary mission, resume in hand before she had time to finish her first speech on the matter

Rocky and Ryland Grace working together would get off of Mars before NASA even realized Grace was alive, Grace would just roll up like "oh hey guys! look! I made a friend, he gave me a ride home!"
