Writing advice from my uni teachers:

If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.

Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.

Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.

Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.

[writerlyn]

This is legit good writing advice, especially the first bullet point! In playwriting class we did a bit where every bit of dialogue had to be an accusatory question and it was glorious.

#any industry related to molten metal will make you have religious experiences#i've worked within six feet of an open vat of molten aluminum#the scary thing about aluminum is it doesn't even glow#it's this silvery liquid that looks so incredibly touchable#i've walked along paths where they bring melt trucks with massive crucibles that drip beads of aluminum everywhere#and the ground is studded with a million tiny stars of aluminum that never come off because they're melted onto the concrete#they have these forges for scrap that are twenty feet tall and glow orange all across the inside and they dump whole bales in at once#and when a fresh bale goes in the forge spews flames that lick at the (thankfully fireproof) ceiling#i once stood between the plates of a die press the size of a living room#and realized 'if this closed on me what came out would not be recognizable as a human being'#i've seen the face of god and it's molten metal

this is oddly close to real ‘ard’ is a real suffix in the english language just like ‘ly’ or ‘ify’, it just isnt common enough for us to notice its usage. ‘ard’ means ‘too much’ or ‘too easily’ so ‘mustard’ is something that is ‘too pungent’, just as ‘wizard’ is someone who is too wise, ‘coward’ is someone too easily cowed, and ‘drunkard’ is someone too often drunk

this implies that ‘bastard’ is someone who is too ‘bast’ and this needs experimentation and research

[sistertaxon]

Are you fucking serious omg

[necromancy-savant]

This is pretty much correct. According to the OED bastard is from Old French and the bast- part means “pack saddle” which was used as a bed by mule drivers, giving the phrase fils de bast, a child conceived on the pack saddle instead of the marriage bed. In English it becomes bastard, the -ard being a pejorative. It is the same one as wizard and coward and drunkard.

i love herding dogs. i love when they just Decide things for themselves. "here is a single flagstone in a grassy area, and you are all going to stand on it Or Else, and i'm going to yip and bite at your ankles until everyone agrees"

[strongermonster]

lots of dogs can have jobs, but herding dogs will have jobs, no matter what (threat)

[gallusrostromegalus]

A short list of the jobs Herschel has invented for himself:

Yell if Mochi gets on the counter

Yell if Mochi goes from one room to another

Yell if the mail arrives

Yell if the squirrels are back (and flush from the yard)

Yell at Mochi again, just in case he's up to something

Herd neighbor's Malinois through the fence (he's surprisingly good at bossing the former military dog from the other side of the fence)

Yell if my neighbors take their garbage bins out.

Mandatory 11AM snacktime

Shred cardboard

Shred mail (if arrived)

You either give your working breed a job, or you will wish it was unemployed.

His actual Mega-Job is "I am in a Corgi in a house populated exclusively by Humans with ADHD, which are like sheep, but less capable of self-preservation."

He's very good at his job. Works a damn treat on keeping my sleep schedule regular and remembering to eat.

"when archeologists find your body theyll call you a MAN not a WOMAN" actually theyll be too busy thinking about how fucking hot i was because my bones/skeletons are that fucking good. theyre gonna want me so bad

[meatsherbert]

actually i think a lot of trans people need to see this if its something really worrisome for them

[mrs-sylus-sweetie]

A 1000 yr old skeleton was found in Finland that scientists/archaeologists say was a non-binary person. They were buried with both feminine and masculine artifacts and appeared to be a high ranking individual in their community. When humans are discovered yeeeeeeeeeeeeears after us, the archaeologists will looking at the artifacts they were buried with, the burial clothing, ect.

1,000-year-old skeleton may have been non-binary medieval warrior, say archaeologists

A 1,000-year-old skeleton that has baffled scientists for decades may have been a non-binary medieval warrior, according to new analysis. In

[captain-snark]

i dont know what TERF needs to hear this but when us trans people are skeletons being dug up in a thousand years you will also be just as dead and just as insignificant as you are now. Hope that helps.
