This one’s an always-reblog, because who knows who needs it and hasn’t seen it yet?

There are two types of writers:

1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'

2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'

[shaneycakes1131]

I am #2

[shaneycakes1131]

In other news, if you wanted to see what other bullshit I’ve been on, I did publish 2 poetry books.

#AllTheThingsIShouldntHaveSaid isn’t terrible. It’s a series of poems written for a bunch of people who are no longer in my life as well as some poems written about my journey through recovery.

#YouSaidYouMissedMyPoetry was written and published exclusively for my fiancée. For the first year of our relationship I wrote a short poem every single day for her. I chose just a few of them to publish in an attempt to gather the courage to ask her to marry me.

I’m currently working on my 3rd poetry book scheduled for an end of year release this year (2025) (hopefully 🤞🏻) so keep your eyes and ears open for some cool shit. This new one has been challenging in a very new and exciting way!

[shaneycakes1131]

I’ve been very slow with this because life is crazy, but I am still on my bullshit with this one! 2026 is going to be the year that I publish this mother fucker after almost a decade of burning myself to the ground over and over again. Call it a labor of love. Call it a mental illness. Call it whatever you like. But #CaptivateMe is on its way!

[shaneycakes1131]

“It is the weirdest of things that remind you of how much you’ve lost.

The unanswered texts where silence was once a rarity.

The absence of knowledge where once stood over sharing and trauma dumping.

How you find yourself looking at pictures of a stranger where your best friend once stood.

But it’s these same moments that remind you of how far you’ve come.

The almost forgotten inbox where her silence once left you questioning your worth.

The way that she hardly ever crosses your mind anymore without someone else’s intervention.

How you see now how fragile and conditional her love for you actually was.

Most importantly, you see how fair weather the support became when you needed her the most.

And it was in that moment that the switch flipped and you realized that it was never about you.

You were never made to have to captivate her.

One strength, one heart would never be enough.

But you were always enough.”

this cat said gay rights and fuck trump i heard her say it

[indigoneverkills]

God I love this cat

[shaneycakes1131]

For some time now you’ve wondered what it would take to get an answer. A reply. Literally anything. But that’s not how these kinds of things work. And you’ve learned enough and lost enough to know that silence is the ultimate rejection. It will take a while to heal from this, but you’ve seen this film before… and while you didn’t like the ending that doesn’t mean that you can change it. You can either wait until the end credits or you can move on. And while your legs feel like lead when you life them, it’s time to make your exist. Stage left.

‘I’m done fighting for the love of people who don’t care enough to hear me out… but that doesn’t mean I don’t still think about you’ you scribbled onto the book in front of you, the nearly blank page absorbing the ink as if it was starving for more.

In the end, we’re all just starving for more….

More love…

More compassion…

More chances to explain what really happened…

But the hunger remains. And when the pages close, you know it will just be you standing there, feeding yourself.

But what a lonely way to live this has become…

This chapter of #CaptivateMe is gonna break me!

i was so sad, i drew a little bat so i wouldn’t be sad. and now i am no longer sad.

here is a little bat to banish your sadness

This nice little bat reminds me of this other nice little bat who was drawn in the 1200s:

Procrastination : Tends to delay tasks, often leading to missed opportunities. Passivity : Avoids taking initiative and relies on others to act. Aggressiveness : Responds with hostility or force rather than reason. Selfishness : Prioritizes personal gain over the welfare of others.

Writing Advice for Brainstorming

Mix genres and time periods: Experiment by combining elements from different eras or genres to create unique settings and narratives.

Use "what if" scenarios: Pose unexpected questions (e.g., What if time travel operated on emotions rather than mechanics?) to spark novel ideas.

Draw from diverse mediums: Engage with art, music, or even scientific papers to inspire unexpected plot twists.

Embrace absurdity: Let illogical or surreal ideas guide you; sometimes the wildest thoughts lead to compelling stories.

Reverse clichés: Identify common tropes in your favorite genres and deliberately invert them to create fresh perspectives.

Incorporate personal anomalies: Transform your idiosyncrasies and personal struggles into rich, multi-dimensional characters.

Use mind-mapping: Visually plot your ideas in a freeform way to uncover hidden connections between disparate elements.

So, let me guess– you just started a new book, right? And you’re stumped. You have no idea how much an AK47 goes for nowadays. I get ya, cousin. Tough world we live in. A writer’s gotta know, but them NSA hounds are after ya 24/7. I know, cousin, I know. If there was only a way to find out all of this rather edgy information without getting yourself in trouble…

You’re in luck, cousin. I have just the thing for ya.

It’s called Havocscope. It’s got information and prices for all sorts of edgy information. Ever wondered how much cocaine costs by the gram, or how much a kidney sells for, or (worst of all) how much it costs to hire an assassin?

I got your back, cousin. Just head over to Havocscope.

((PS: In case you’re wondering, Havocscope is a database full of information regarding the criminal underworld. The information you will find there has been taken from newspapers and police reports. It’s perfectly legal, no need to worry about the NSA hounds, cousin ;p))

Assassins

“Below are selected prices that are paid to professional assassins by criminal organizations and drug cartels for a contract hit.

In Australia, the median price to hire a hit man is $13,610 (9,800 Euros), with the price going up to $83,000 (60,000 Euros) based on the task.

In Mexico, the cost for a low level assassin is $208 (150 Euros), and up to $20,832 (15,000 Euros) for a higher profile target like a police chief.

The prices paid in Argentina are between $3,749 (2,700 Euros) to $5,555 (4,000 Euros) per hit.

Government statistics in Spain state that 40 assassinations take place each year, with prices for the hit ranging between $27 (20 Euros) to $69,000 (50,000 Euros).”

So cheap! I always thought things like this would cost more than $1 million…

"killing billionaires wont solve the problem of wealth inequality" no but killing elon musk would solve the problem of elon musk
