i have difficulty coming 2 grips with the fact that there is serious a piece of media that my mutuals seriously like surrounding a cannibal named fucking hannibal
like can you imagine what his mom feels like? like “oh god, my son hannibal’s grown up 2 be a cannibal. now i’m starting 2 worry 4 his poor little brothers harson and hanslaughter…”
@mdzsnet 1 year with cql event day 6: favourite episode [episode 46]
losing people is so interesting bc like. no i don't want to speak to you ever again. yes i think about you on your birthday.
look. i don’t think my stretch marks are beautiful. i don’t think they’re tiger stripes or natural tattooos. i don’t think my acne is beautiful. i don’t think the bags under my eyes are beautiful. i just think they’re human. and i don’t think i have to be beautiful all of the time in order to be accepted and loved and sucessful. i don’t think every small detail of my outer appearence needs to be translated into prettiness.
fun fact: this POV is actually called “body neutrality” and it’s SO MUCH more accessible/realistic for a lot of people. it’s based on the idea that the way we look is the least interesting/important thing about who we are, and that our bodies are worthy of respect regardless if they fit the mold of the current beauty ideals.
When you pull out your phone to check the time and instead text twelve people, look up the meaning of a word you’ve been repeating all day, look up 100 other things, find new music, and then put it away, only to pull it out again half a second later because you still don’t know what time it is.
you & your friends: matching friendship bracelets
me & my friends: matching talismans that protect us from evil and give us our powers
not the same

Far away, long ago Glowing dim as an ember Things my heart used to know Things it yearns to remember And a song someone sings Once upon a December

That Big Mood when you’re sleepy and tired all day but as soon as the clock strikes midnight you want to draw and paint and steal the mona lisa and do some cart wheels
Keira Knightley 20 January 2018
Does anyone else remember the story about that poor lesbian who came out to her mother and her mother cried and said “it’s all that damn Keira Knightley’s fault, I knew I shouldn’t have let you watch pride and prejudice as a child” because I’m really feeling that now

I recorded this on VHS commercials and all and watched it pretty much until the tape wore out. Totally in a heterosexual way though.
When I was 12, a drunk adult man shouted “You’re the hottest girl I’ve ever seen!” at me.
My reaction was to turn around and shout back, “Then OBVIOUSLY you’ve never seen Kiera Knightley!” and in retrospect I should have realized some things sooner than I did.
I know at this point this is basically a highlights reel of Keira Knightley’s whole filmography, but I present for your sword & sandals consideration, Keira as Celtic Guinevere in “King Arthur” (2004):
This post gets better every time I see it

Not to get emo on main but you ever think about how the troop sang about their dreams of finding “a girl worth fighting for”, and they think their girl worth fighting for is one of romance, but the song abruptly comes to a halt when they find a different girl worth fighting for.
A tiny girl that had been killed at the hands of the Huns. A child too weak, too small to have any chance of withstanding the murderous invaders. That is their girl worth fighting for.
This is fucking horrific
It’s also worth noting that ‘A Girl Worth Fighting For’ is the last song in the movie. Up until here, it’s a fun movie, and the imminent invasion feels like it’s just there to keep the plot moving, and to provide a little bit of drama to spice things up. None of the soldier’s are quite taking this seriously yet; sure, Mulan wanted to save her father from the draft, and on some level she was aware that he would die if he went to war, but beyond that she’s interested in not being caught, and not shaming her family. Her motives are good, but they’re entirely self centered. All the other soldiers are more or less in the same boat - they want to get tougher, they want to impress girls, they want to be cool soldiers. Shang’s easily the most serious of the bunch at first, and even then it’s just because training bad soldiers will reflect poorly on him, and important people are paying attention.
The abrupt ending of ‘A Girl Worth Fighting For’ is the wake up call. The soldiers and the audience get slapped in the face with the realization of what’s really at stake here. China is being invaded. Villages are burning, civilians are dying, and this isn’t going to stop until the country is conquered or the invaders are defeated. This is not a fun musical, this is a major crisis.
Mulan is such a good movie for so many reasons, but the abrupt tone shift is such a major reason why. It’s an excellent commentary on the reality of war, and it being a kids movie just meant they had to make their point without showing any actual gore, which I’d honestly say makes it that much more poignant.
That moment, when they come over the rise and see the razed village is one of the best scenes in film. Period. Somehow, instead of giving me tonal whiplash, it took my breath away, and that’s one fuck of a balancing act.
Friendly reminder that ao3 statistics are not at all related to your value as a writer or a fan.
The number of hits or kudos or comments you get on your fic don't tell you how good your writing is or what you're worth is as a person. Whether you get none or you get a million, you are still important. You are still valuable. You still belong in this fandom. Your ideas are worth sharing.
Don't let numbers fool you into thinking they mean something when they don't. You love your story, and that's the most important thing. You're sharing your love of something with other people who love it too, and that's wonderful. ❤
Also, always write what you love. Write what you would've wanted to read. Write what draws you in. Write a little selfishly, even when you take requests. So that you may be happy going back to it later and smile/laugh at your writing even if it's flawed. Write to put something out there that you feel like it deserves to be. Because even if you touch a single person, it's a person that was missing the same content you were. And fuck, isn't it great to be the voice somebody wanted to hear?
Can I give completely unsolicited advice to fantasy writers that I wish someone had given me when I was into fantasy writing? The cliche “write what you know” is bad advice if taken literally, it’s how we get books about depressed middle-aged creative writing professors who contemplate having an affair. But generally speaking it can be helpful. Tolkien wrote a medieval fantasy because he was the world’s foremost expert on medieval English literature. His book about Beowulf is still considered academically significant. He gave every race detailed languages because he was also a linguist. He wrote about giant battles because he was traumatized by his time in World War I and wrote during World War II. You don’t have to do any of this because that isn’t you. You are allowed to write a whole fantasy epic without a single battle (or you can make battle scenes modern urban melees because clashes of great armies aren’t a thing anymore.) If, say, you’re really into fashion, feel free to describe in painstaking detail every outfit that elves wear for all possible occasions. I promise you it’s no weirder than describing the dialects of tree people. What I’m saying is, you’re not Tolkien and that’s a very good thing because your voice is needed more. Let your freak flag fly and make the world that comes from you specifically.
Oh. Oh this is SOLID F*ING GOLDEN ADVICE! Take this advice and remember it over and over and over and—
And just fucking soak in it, because this is what’s gonna make your story, amazing.
“Your voice is needed more.” Let’s be the writers of our generation.
I’m using this as an excuse to write about the importance of alien infrastructure
Also, as an avid reader, I GREATLY enjoy when I can tell the author is like REALLY REALLY into woodworking or sailing or fashion or infrastructure or anything like that. I can tell when the author puts their passion of the thing in the story and I go “Oh ho! Really into embroidery, are we? Tell me more!”
Please please please put all your passions in to the writing. Your readers will love it.
