talking about something i hate to someone who agrees with me: this is awful. not even fit for dogs.
talking about something i hate to someone who enjoys it: I'm sure it's good to people who like it
Me: As much as I enjoy shipping, it's so refreshing to see a character who does not get involved in any romantic relationships and still finds fulfillment and happiness.
The fandom: I NEED this character to bang someone immediately.
listen i may take 4 weeks to write a 3k word chapter, and i may take 45 minutes to decide whether i should use “laugh” or “chuckle”, but at least i don’t use ai and whatever you’re getting is pure chaos from a human brain
I can't believe home depot literally produced a wildly successful science fiction musical and we all just pretend it didn't happen. on one hand yes it had a boring white guy main character but like.... home depot just... Made it? And it had shit ton of box office sales? and no one even talks about this. this is like avatar (2009) all over again
OK so. After a lot of frantic googling I realized this was all a dream. home depot did not in fact produce a wildly successful science fiction musical. I was on allergy meds and took a nap and my brain simply prophesized this. slightly disappointed because I wanted to watch it.

it's taboo to say you can teach yourself to be anxious and depressive because ppl think that means you think mental illness isn't real but it is real and you can condition your brain to it and the internet is not doing anyone any favors in this department.

Poirot + ruthlessness AGATHA CHRISTIE'S POIROT (1989 - 2013)

very minor subtitling pet peeve is when the audio is censored in that mid-word way where you can still intuitively make out what word was said, but the subtitles just say [CENSORED] or [BLEEP]. like okay yeah it sure is censored but i think if the listening audience can tell whether that was a fuck or a shit then the subtitles should probably account for that. what about my good friend f**k why dont you put f**k in your subtitles. the audio says f**k not ****. commit to the accuracy.
why the fuck is everything labeled mature content now who runs this app? mormons??????
As a pro lifer, I hate the “keep your legs closed/stop having sex” argument I will occasionally see floating around in pro life circles. While technically true, it misses the heart of the pro life cause, it misses the many reasons why a woman would get an abortion, and it places all the blame on women.
The heart of the pro life cause is recognizing the personhood of the unborn. Fetus, baby, whatever term you feel comfortable using. Since the unborn is a person, they inherently have the rights to life and liberty that every other person has. To end their life via abortion is a violation of their human rights and is murder. By telling women to just “keep their legs closed” as a response to abortion arguments, this point is missed completely.
Another thing that gets missed in making that argument is environmental factors. Poverty, abuse, failed contraceptives, pressure to abort from the partner or family. There are women out there who get abortions because they have no financial or social support. Married women get abortions, women in long term relationships get abortions, women without a partner or husband get abortions. Treating all women who get abortions as whores causes a lot of unnecessary shame when love and kindness would heal more wounds and change more minds.
Finally, placing the blame of sex on women ignores the responsibility men play in creating a pregnancy. You cannot naturally have pregnancy without the participation of both a man and a woman. By simply telling women to keep their legs closed, you make pregnancy seem like a punishment for having sex when pregnancy is simply a natural result of sex and should be celebrated for it is the creation of new life.
Be kind and love the women who seek abortions and the women who have had abortions. Most of the pro life community on tumblr doesn’t have this issue, but I see it in other places online and offline. Encourage people who make these arguments to talk more about the human rights of the unborn rather than heaping blame on the women. The abortion debate has burned many of us - from women being blamed for getting an abortion to pro lifers being called evil for opposing abortion - and it is likely the pro lifers who make that argument had their kindness thrown back in their face and are now bitter because of it.
It feels a bit like I’m preaching to the choir, as many of the pro lifers on tumblr would agree with this, but I feel like we need the reminder. In the face of evil, in the face of sorrow, in the face of hard-heartedness, be kind.

If you're writing anything involving cons, scams, heists, or morally questionable characters who are very good at lying, here are some free resources I've been using for research. Saving you the "why is this in my search history" anxiety.
1. The FBI's Famous Cases & Criminals archive (fbi.gov/history/famous-cases) has detailed breakdowns of real fraud cases, Ponzi schemes, and confidence operations. The language they use is clinical and precise, which is perfect for getting the procedural details right.
2. The FTC Consumer Sentinel Network publishes annual reports on the most common fraud tactics in the US. Great for understanding how modern scams actually work and what makes people fall for them.
3. The Smithsonian's American Art Museum has a free digital collection of forgery case studies. If your character forges documents or art, this is gold.
4. Court Listener (courtlistener.com) is a free legal database where you can read actual court transcripts from fraud trials. Want to know how a real con artist talks under oath? This is where you find out.
5. The Internet Archive's collection of old newspaper crime sections. Search for "confidence man" or "swindle" in papers from the 1920s through 1960s and you'll find incredible real stories that would feel too dramatic for fiction.
Bonus: The Psychology of Fraud section on the Association for Psychological Science website has accessible articles about why people trust, how deception works cognitively, and what makes someone a convincing liar. Essential reading if you want your con artist characters to feel psychologically real.
Reblog to save for later. Your WIP will thank you.
writers really will spend twenty minutes pacing around the kitchen thinking “this scene is genius” and then sit down to type and suddenly remember approximately three words and one emotional vibe
It's nice that loud noises don't stick to clothes like smells do. That would be really bad if they did.
