this is my carrd/linktree/indie blog, so if you want to know more about me, just head over there :) for longer content, check out my substack!

main tags i use and what they're for;

#original poems — poems i wrote

#meliora — meliora is a project i'm working on, i talk about it sometimes, but it's nowhere near done so i haven't posted any of its content yet

#doll rants — my rants! can be about anything (usually shows), though you can always expect to see what i'm thinking. these may be the shitposts. doesn't make sense with my new username anymore but i do not have the energy to change the tag under all the posts so the doll thing is iykyk

#react with me — sometimes i watch shows and i end up annotating my thoughts while i watch (arcane s2, dan da dan ep1)

i just love all the stories about production on project hail mary. they didn't use a single green/blue screen in the whole film. they built the whole interior of the hail mary. the petrova line scene was done practically by putting infrared lights on a chicken wire cage. rocky's voice was one of the puppeteers because he did such a good job during filming that they couldn't imagine anyone else voicing him. and rocky was a practical puppet/animatronic! sandra huller picked sign of the times as her karaoke song and she asked her daughter if it was still a cool song. i just feel like there was so much love making this film and im obsessed

The thing is, nobody is a rational person first and foremost. Your first instinct is always instinct, something that makes sense in the simple survival framework of your animal brain, whose job is to keep you from dying. That instinct isn't always necessarily the most logical and rational thing for this context.

Another curveball of this situation is the fact that different people have different first instincts, and you can never really anticipate how alien someone else's framework might be. This is not a fault in your character, or anyone else's. It's practically impossible to predict that someone's first instinctive reaction to a situation would be to do something that you yourself would never, ever do.

For example, let's take a snap-judgement situation where your instincts kick in: Someone runs past you at top speed, hauling ass like their life depends on it, and yells "RUN!" as they bolt right past you with no sign of stopping. Personally, before seeing it myself, it would have never occurred to me that some peoples' first innate instinct in this situation is to stop whatever they're doing and simply stand there, going "why? :0"

Also in addition: When you're in the middle of doing something, and you hear someone approaching you, most likely addressing you, going "NO NO NO NO NO NO DON'T", some peoples' natural instinct is to go "oh, let me just finish doing what I was doing before pausing to see what that's all about :)"

hi i'm a toddler writer and i'd like to pass on a piece of advice to baby writers who may need it. before i start: 1, here are my credentials, and 2, THIS INVOLVES 🗣️🗣️ NO GENERATIVE AI 🗣️🗣️

beta readers are scary. i get it. but if nothing and no one beta reads, you're going to make a lot of typos. embarrassing ones. trust me. learn from my humiliating experiences.

introducing: grammarly. NO GENERATIVE AI. I REPEAT. NO GENERATIVE AI. grammarly does use generative AI in certain places, but you can turn it off completely in account settings. you never have to interact with any AI. just turn it off.

after typing everything up, copy paste it all into grammarly (or any other browser based editor, if you have the grammarly extension). grammarly will point out every typo, every syntax error, every missing capital letter. it might not catch everything, but it's much better than not checking anything at all. i prefer this method because i tried tyler the creator's process ("create like a child, edit like a scientist") and loved it. you can use it for both beta testing texts and for general editing. you get to write without any interruptions/criticism, letting the words flow out naturally, and you can edit critically after you're done expressing your authentic, unaltered vision.

you can also use grammarly whilst writing, in which case it'll breathe down your neck and correct every mistake the second you've finished your sentence. this is helpful for a lot of people. i'm partial to my own method.

if you don't want to read it yourself and you don't want someone else to beta read and you don't want to use grammarly, you can also copy-paste the text into any text to speech program and listen to your text being read out loud. sometimes typos are more obvious audibly than visually.

these might be some very basic tips, but new writers may not realise things can be done this way as well, so now they know. i hope this helped <3

the holy grail

if you can't do it confidently, do it calmly, if you can't do it calmly, do it scared, if you can't do it scared, do it ironically, and if you can't do it ironically, do it for rejection.

if you can't do it well or happily, do it quickly, if you can't do it quickly, do it soon, if you can't do it soon, start now, and if you can't start now, start as soon as the opportunity presents itself.
