tumblr should let us make digital friendship bracelets with our mutuals’ pfps and badges and decorative beads
and we can make multiple bracelets for different fandoms and social circles. and we can upload images for beads. and use letter beads to spell out phrases
persona has the same effect on me that the sims 4 has where when i’ll play i’ll black out for 10 hours and forget to eat or drink
A guide on Mount Everest, 57 year old Hillary Dawa Sherpa, was separated from the British climber he had been hired to guide, ran out of oxygen, fell into a crevasse, was trapped in the crevasse for 2 and a half days before freeing himself and walking/crawling back towards base camp. He was alone on the mountain for 6 days.
Yes! Just to clarify, he was found alive and most reports state he was only treated for frostbite on his hands and a fracture. He survived on chocolate and chunks of ice for almost a week while descending Everest alone and injured.
imagine being the only member in a band called squid squad to not be a squid
quirky fourth wall breaking character but theyre just fucking. wrong about the medium theyre in. they keep making references to cinematic techniques and directorial styles and the other fourth wall breaking character is like "dumbass we're in a fucking comic book" and they are in a video game.
Well currently they’re in a tumblr post but I see your point
I was so baffled by this until I remembered that I use my kettle, and so it looks like I'm pouring boiling water on my plants
‘i’m literally a guy’ well i coulr be a girl. if you reallly think about it.

"The first few steps have been taken, but the road is still long… 🤍"
A huge thank you to the kind souls who broke the silence and donated today. You have given my mother hope when we thought all was lost.
But we are not there yet.
My mother is still in the hospital bed, and the surgery is still pending. We’ve reached the first few people, but we are still looking for 45 more people to donate $10 to reach our goal.
Please, don't let the momentum stop now. We are closer than yesterday, but she still needs you to cross the finish line.
Target: 50 Kind Souls
Joined so far: 5
Remaining: 45 to go!
Will you be one of the 45? Donate or Reblog to keep the hope alive.

It's eah 13th anniversary 🔥🔥 we up
i NEED people to realise foreshadowing is. in fact. a literary device. and not a Bad Thing. the audience picking up on your hints is a Good Thing. because. it makes the story and it’s conclusion make sense. and some people will not see those but enjoy seeing them on a second read through. red herrings are one thing but if your novel consists of nothing but red herrings it’s not a coherent story it’s just a collection of paragraphs that don’t actually plausibly link to one another. you're not fighting with the audience you don’t look clever you look like you don’t know how basic fiction works. be vulnerable for once in your goddamn life and don't treat writing like a game to be won where the audience losing is a good thing.
Getting to the end of a story and going "THE CLUES WERE THERE THE WHOLE TIME!" is always joyous for me whether or not I picked up on the clues leading up
If I saw the clues and caught the hints then yes! I am clever and me and the author/creator/artist etc were in on it together the whole time!
If I didn't notice the clues or got fooled but can clearly see them in hindsight then "Ha! You won this time storyteller! I am delighted by this game we play!' and then I enjoy putting the pieces together afterwards and enjoying how clever it was. I feel like the creator respects me as an audience
If there is a "twist" that comes with 0 clues or foreshadowing at all I'm annoyed. I'm pissed off. I feel like I'm being condescended to and patronised. It's not clever or interesting and makes me annoyed I ended up caring about characters and plot points that ended up meaningless.
Because it's not that these stories don't have foreshadowing or plot clues. They just abandon it for a "surprising twist"
A story that pays off the clues is letting me into the fun and makes a participant in the story
A story that just gives me a "shock" but no pay off is telling me not to engage or get attached or care. So why would I watch?
OMG! THIS!
Random plot twists that don't connect to anything in the story are not clever. If we don't see it coming because the writer didn't provide any clues, they aren't clever and it's totally unsatisfying (and I will NEVER read this writer again). These clues need not be lit up in neon with a parade of elephants and showgirls. But they need to be present
I'm a writer and am rarely surprised. Often, if I am surprised it's because the writer was a dumbass and included a "twist" that makes no sense (and therefore isn't really a twist, it's just random bullshit). If a writer genuinely surprises me, without being an absolute dumbass, I am FUCKING DELIGHTED! I will tell everyone I know to read the book/see the movie/watch the show.
Foreshadowing is the reward for paying attention. It's the story letting you in on the secret like a co-conspirator because you're the clever little audience member who has been picking up on the clues the writer has been setting up.
It even makes watching/reading again more worthwhile because if you didn't notice the foreshadowing the first time you have the joy of being able to notice the things you missed!
Time to bring up the creator of Babylon 5, and sometime writer on Murder She Wrote, responding to people saying "We already figured this out", once again. Paraphrasing with a bit of quoting;
If no one figures it out, you're doing your job wrong.
If everyone figures it out, you're doing your job wrong.
Of COURSE some people figure it out, they're paying attention.
If you're doing your job right, and laying out the clues, a certain number of people HAVE to figure it out.
"The best case scenario is a bell-shaped curve. Some don't have a clue what's coming, some manage to figure it out, and the majority have a kind of vague sense where it's going, but there are still surprises along the way. If the bell-curve shifts one direction or the other, then you're in trouble."
horror novel: he sniled, but it wasn't sneetly. it wasn't sneetly at all.
OP wtf does this mean?
