To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

What if Age of Imprisonment happens in the Age of Calamity continuity? (I can dream, ok?)

(Also I know 10,000 years is enough time that they're almost certainly related anyway, but this is funnier.)

My piece for the Hyrule Fashion Anthology zine last year!!

My piece was based on mid-late 1910s fashion & I had a ton of fun designing everyone’s dresses 🧡✨ Design sketches under the cut~

tbh i am a bit sad i wasn’t able to show all the full designs in the finished piece but hey, i can always draw them again in the future, right?

[mistyheartrbs]

oh nd stevenson you genius

[alabasterpickles]

I drew these because I like to feel pain apparently

Anyway — Happy (belated) Age of Imprisonment release day!!

Bonus!! Fan design thing of Medli in the style of the Era of Wilds Rito because it sounded like a fun challenge!

NEVER STOP THE GRINDSET

[capnsoapy]

Essentially, a male employee approaching a mother and daughter to offer assistance with clothes shopping wouldn't make national headlines.

It's such a succinct distillation of transmisogyny and third-gendering that I cannot think about it without crying.

Dispelling harmful misinformation about M&S 'trans' bra fitting row

Dangerous misinformation over an M&S 'trans' bra fitting story is spreading online; here's what we actually know.

Marks & Spencer has apologised after a trans employee offered to help a 14-year-old girl and her mother in the bra department.

The store apologized after the girl’s mother said that while the 6ft 2in, 'biologically male' assistant was polite, her daughter was left ‘visibly upset’

The following day, a customer service spokesperson apologised on behalf of M&S in an email, writing: “We deeply regret the distress your daughter felt during her visit to our store. We understand how important this milestone is for her, and we are truly sorry that it did not go as you had hoped. They also offered to ensure her daughter would “receive assistance from a female colleague.”

'The main losers from this are likely to be cisgender women'

Once again showing that to cis people, trans people deserve the hatred and abuse they get because they are trans, but if a cis person gets that misdirected hate, it's a real problem.

One legitimately weird thing about Tumblr is that we literally can’t code for shit, many people quit working at Tumblr due to a hostile work environment, and we can’t seem to program a simple blogging website to not flood your RAM.

Pro Tip: The Way You End a Sentence Matters

Here is a quick and dirty writing tip that will strengthen your writing.

In English, the word at the end of a sentence carries more weight or emphasis than the rest of the sentence. You can use that to your advantage in modifying tone.

Consider:

In the end, what you said didn't matter.

It didn't matter what you said in the end.

In the end, it didn't matter what you said.

Do you pick up the subtle differences in meaning between these three sentences?

The first one feels a little angry, doesn't it? And the third one feels a little softer? There's a gulf of meaning between "what you said didn't matter" (it's not important!) and "it didn't matter what you said" (the end result would've never changed).

Let's try it again:

When her mother died, she couldn't even cry.

She couldn't even cry when her mother died.

That first example seems to kind of side with her, right? Whereas the second example seems to hold a little bit of judgment or accusation? The first phrase kind of seems to suggest that she was so sad she couldn't cry, whereas the second kind of seems to suggest that she's not sad and that's the problem.

The effect is super subtle and very hard to put into words, but you'll feel it when you're reading something. Changing up the order of your sentences to shift the focus can have a huge effect on tone even when the exact same words are used.

In linguistics, this is referred to as "end focus," and it's a nightmare for ESL students because it's so subtle and hard to explain. But a lot goes into it, and it's a tool worth keeping in your pocket if you're a creative writer or someone otherwise trying to create a specific effect with your words :)

[alexseanchai]

this is one reason I think people who want to write good prose should spend some time close-reading and learning to write poetry. because this sort of effect is a lot easier to notice and to learn to use in poetry.
