“Me, talking a writer down from imposter syndrome: How long have you been writing?
Them: Three years.
Me: And how old are you?
Them: 28.
Me: Okay. So you’re a level 28 human and a level 3 writer. How good were you as a level 3 human?
Them: Oooooooooooh.”
Good timing.
This is a fucking brilliant way of phrasing this.

Softy’s Guide to Facial Oils
Different oils and how to use them
Common Oils
Argan Oil – good for everyone; high in Vit E, great for helping heal scars, eczema, and dry scalp. Oleic acid helps regulate sebum production, and linoleic acid promotes healthy skin turnover, which can be good for acne control.
Avocado Oil – intense hydration; lots of fats and fatty acids; may be too hydrating for certain skin types
Castor Oil – promotes hair growth
Chamomile Oil – Sensitive skin; soothes redness and irritation
Coconut Oil – very moisturizing; however it’s comedogenic so it works well for the body, but may not be good for the face (but if it works for you, go for it!)
Jojoba Oil – all skin types; mimics natural sebum so it’s a good balancer for all sin types
Rosehip Oil – skin discolouration & scarring; also good for helping combat environmental stressors like dry air and wind; improve skin elasticity, boost skin cell regeneration,
Tea Tree Oil – acne (but NEEDS to be diluted if you have 100% tea tree oil)
Grapeseed Oil – oily skin & acne; help regulate oil production while keeping skin moisturized; also has anti-aging & skin-brightening Vit C
Maracuja Oil – anti-inflammatory; brightening (has lots of Vit C); sun damage, discoloration, spots, and fine lines; also said to help with anxiety, insomnia and stress?
Marula Oil – irritated skin; v. soothing & hydrating; high in oleic acid; high in anti-oxidants;
Sweet Almond Oil – great for sensitive & dry skin
Less Common
Dilo Oil (found by Kate Sommerville); good for firming
Black Currant Oil – skin that needs repair; anti-inflammatory; even good for eczema
Camellia Oil – Lightweight hydration; absorbs quickly; great for sensitive skin
Pomegranate Oil – anti-inflammatory; reduces redness; brightens skin; packed with Vit A, D, E, & K; goof for combination skin
Hemp Seed – light moisture; good for dry, aging skin
Pumpkin Seed Oil – blemish prone skin
Evening Primrose Oil – soothing & anti-inflammatory; great for sensitive skin
I attended a seminar on Legal Issues and the LGBTI community and one HILARIOUS side effect of same sex marriage getting legalised was in reality…horrible for estate planning and property disputes, but also sounds like an incredible fic premise
Before same sex marriage was legal a fair few gay couples got married in foreign countries; it had no effect in Australia but it was the principle of the thing. When it became legal, their marriages took effect in Aussie too.
This was wonderful for couples who were still together, but for couples who had broken up, and hadn’t bothered to go back to that foreign country to get divorced (and they rarely did)…they suddenly found themselves married again.
Oh, it gets better than that!! There was a panel on a similar topic at Lavender Law a few years back. In the US specifically, we had that time period where there were just a few states that had legalized same-sex marriage, and then Obergefell happened and it’s legal everywhere! Yay! EXCEPT. A very similar problem cropped up.
See, people had gotten married in Massachusetts when it legalized same-sex marriage, but then they broke up with that person and didn’t get a divorce because it wasn’t really real, right? So they got together with someone else, maybe moved in between, and decided to get married when California legalized. And then they broke up. And didn’t get a divorce. Because it wasn’t really real; it’s only in that state, right? (And no, there isn’t a good country-wide system to check these things.) So then they got together with someone else, and hey, it’s legal to get married in New York, we’ll do that! …and then they broke up. (Sensing a pattern yet?)
But then. Obergefell. Your marriage is recognized in EVERY state! Yay! Except… you have three or four marriages, actually. Concurrently. Which is, y’know. Illegal. AND one or more of your spouses could now be also married to yet another person, or people, if they did the same thing. Who could then also… (you get the picture).
Apparently there were a NUMBER of VERY BUSY family lawyers and estate planners untangling the absolute mess people created by getting married in multiple states to different people during that period.
So basically: Someone PLEASE give me the ensemble cast who are all, somehow, simultaneously married to each other. It is my dream, okay. XD

Anti-villain motivations besides "tragic past"
They do bad things because they’re scared.
They’re gullible or misinformed. Example: somebody who has been told the heroes are out to hurt them.
They are desperate for interaction, validation, kindness, or attention, and the dark side gives them those things.
They want to change their allegiance, but are pressured by people close to them to stay evil.
They have an otherwise noble goal that they will do literally anything to achieve. Example: somebody who wants to protect their child, even if it means throwing other children into danger.
That last one…my favourite…
Good stuff.
This. This is good fiction writing advice. I really appreciate how it was formatted as “this is a common problem, here is a solution to try in your own work” and not “oh god, don’t do that!” without any extra help. And I extra appreciated the “don’t rely on adverbs” bit, because they do have their place but they aren’t the only way actions can be emphasized.
when you stop talking to people, stop talking about them too
I’m upset because I want to change the world but the world is too big and people are too mean
“Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.” - Rabbi Tarfon
I needed to hear this
not obligated to complete the work, not free to abandon it.
