“Why did you follow this person ? uwu”

I’ve been here for fourteen years, do you think I remember? I don’t know who any of these people are anymore. I don’t know why they’re on my dash. I allow them to stay because they haven’t pissed me off enough to unfollow them yet. “Why did you follow this person?” I’m not sure I ever did. They’re just part of my ecosystem now.

My favorite writing tip I’ve seen lately was to create a Scraps folder, especially if you’re working on something long-form. That way you have somewhere to dump scenes or bits that don’t quite fit but you don’t want to delete them entirely either. And sometimes you’ll find that they slot in perfectly somewhere else in your story.

This is actually hella interesting, bc in simple terms, tigers are extroverts and lions are introverts. There’s more to it, but that’s the gist.

Whenever zoo’s tried to put lions and tigers in the same enclosures, the tiger would eventually try to groom the lioness and play constantly. The lioness would lose patience and snaps at them

So basically what I’m saying is that you have a regal and refined gf who stands at the edge of a balcony during parties, sipping champagne

Then you have the other girl who drank all of the little flutes on the servers platter, and is now drunkenly pointing at her gf and telling everyone that that’s her gf and doesn’t she look beautiful I love her so much

So I had to draw them in human form???

[slinkanorabundyblr]

You drew them in the corresponding ethnicities for their Geographic locations!!! Bless you, you have no idea how sick and tired I am of white human lion king characters.

This is some of that top-shelf, straight-up, good shit. Bless these big cat lesbians.

I’m so sorry, that lion is the tiger’s daughter. No lesbians, but it’s a super interesting case.

Tiger Momma adopted the Lion Baby, and while tigers leave their mothers when they get old enough, lionesses always stay in the pride and help mom raise her new babies. So the lioness stuck around to help mom so she could get a good grade in Daughter, and Mom basically shrugged and was like ‘weird, but okay’.

The super cool thing is, the tiger with the lion daughter was so much more successful in keeping her children alive pretty soon like half the tigers in the area were all her babies. They left her territory, but most set up shop in adjacent areas. This was because her overachiever lion daughter also wanted a good grade in Lion Pride, and stayed friendly with the siblings she helped raise to the point where she would attack intruding tigers who tried to go after her siblings, even after those siblings were grown.

And I’m talking ATTACK. Female lions will fight like hell to protect their babies and sisters, even one-on-one against an adult male lion 50 pounds heavier than them, if they feel like they have to. So a tiger sister would see another tiger and go ‘no I don’t want to fuck you’, and her lion sister would hear her yelling and be like

It was basically an accidental experiment that resulted in a loose, friendly kingdom of related tigers centered around their mom and a lion, and helped show how successful the ‘build a pack’ strategy was, evolution-wise. Mama Tiger accidentally changed the genetics of an entire population of tigers because she had a daughter there to help keep her babies alive.

So next time some dude-bro crypto asshole starts talking about how survival of the fittest is really survival of the selfish, maybe mention how discovering the power of cooperation made a regular tiger into the queen of a tiger kingdom

#that lion is the tiger’s daughter#momma loves her weird tiger daughter#sorry no lesbians but still cool#I like to think about a random asshole tiger coming in trying to start some shit with a younger smaller tiger and suddenly LION#who the fuck invited the lion and why is she kicking my ass

I'm convinced it was a tragedy that tumblr learned the phrase "bury your gays" at the exact same time it decided that any fictional media darker than Landlord White was pearl-clutchingly problematic. Pouring one out for every creator of earnest LGBT+ media wanting to explore the themes of grief loss and tragedy who then got subsequently hounded by mobs of terminally online users brainrotted on nothing but conflict-free coffee shop AUs.

What Bury Your Gays actually is: queer characters brought in and killed only for shock value and to further the journey of the straight protagonist

What Bury Your Gays is NOT: any story with a queer death

PSA for fanfic writers

[roboticnebula]

Pros of re-reading your own fic

a good time;

Has exactly the tropes you like and the characterization you want to read;

Gratification: yes you did finish a thing and yes you did do good;

just a very fun time all around.

Cons of re-reading your own fic:

Is that another TYpO

[itseasytoremember]

In my first year university course there was a class I remember as being mandatory (at least for English majors) about fallacies and biases in writing. And this prof was all about reading the whole article before you formed your argument. That was his whole thing. You know measure twice cut once he was read twice respond once. He stressed this so much that on our final exam (which was two long form essay questions and a few short answer questions) that I decided to read the WHOLE exam booklet before I grabbed my pen.

Turns out that is what he wanted. The final page, the final question, informed the student that if they wrote 1. Their name, 2. Their student number 3. Their favourite fallacy, and wait for 30 minutes so they don't arouse suspicion, you will literally be given 100 percent for the exam WORTH 40 PERCENT OF YOUR GRADE.

I think about it to this day. The prof literally saw the "reading comprehension on this site is piss poor" and said I can fix them

[lifblogs]

I just saw someone say AO3 is “gay teens writing gay shit” and I have no idea how to tell you that most of the writers you love so much are adults.

[peeledstrawberry]

"Why is your fic so good"

I have a bachelor's in creative writing, a mortgage, and a working knowledge of which cleaners you use to lift grease stains. I am unstoppable.

“Your writing is so good!”

Thanks, my first fanfic had been old enough to serve in the House of Representatives for the past two years.

"I love your fics!"

Thanks! I've literally been writing for over half my life, have several published novels and have worked in a creative field for nearly a decade :D
