writing tip they don’t tell you is that in addition to reading good books you should occasionally read one really bad one so that it inspires you to write something better out of pure rage

people on here are always saying “we NEED a story where the art of storytelling is abandoned” like ugh literary devices are soo annoying like that wouldn’t happen in real life that only happened to further the story (why is there story in my story) why would orpheus turn around when he was explicitly told not to why would icarus fly so close to the sun romeo&juliet catcher in the rye why are they so earnest why pour your heart and soul into anything why bother why cant all art be quippy logical monotony like my marvel movies there’s a void in my heart bc i refused to fill it and the curtains were blue

“i hate poetry its so pretentious” but then you reblog a quote or a throwaway line and say “why does this go so hard” you are desperate for poetry you are starved for it and u dont even realise you’re hungry

yourlocalnautilus

the fact that generative A.I. has created a completely new fundamental doubt in reality (checking to see if an artwork we see is manmade or not) and doubt in the instinct of enjoying art is unforgivable. its sickeningly tragic, and i mean it. NOTHING is worth this price and i hope that everyone will one day realize this.

I met a girl who did a very good half of exam but didn't actually know the answer, so she wrote a full page (two sides), left half a sentence at the end of the page and wrote "Page 1 of 2" and submitted that. Because the teacher assumed it was her fault and that she had lost half of the exam, she gave her a passing grade hoping she wouldn't complain. And she didn't, of course.

In college, I forgot I had a paper (that I hadn't written a word of) due, until the teacher asked us to pass them forward at the start of the class... I had my computer though, and so I said I had forgotten the printed copy at home, could I please run to the computer lab after class and print it and bring it right over? He said sure, he could wait a few minutes since it was just downstairs. I don't have to look at my hands to type, so I wrote it in class while staring at the board like I was taking notes, and printed it off after. Got a B on it.

My origins...

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is an ancient movie that we’ve talked about as nauseum, yes, but if I may continue post nauseum I do still absolutely love Jessica Rabbit and how if you watch with your eyes the first time and see how she’s animated as this impossibly seductive caricature of allure and lust that is OBVIOUSLY giving off all the flirty and come-hither signals in the world, you are sympathetic to the men around her who can’t help but fall for her invitation-

but then you watch it again and close your eyes whenever she appears and just listen to her voice, you can hear the words and emotions and sadness of an average, tired woman who has accepted that no matter what she does, she’ll always just be seen for how she looks. That the way she has been animated and the way she is seen and interpreted by the world is beyond her control, and there’s not a thing she can do about it.

And suddenly the men aren’t very sympathetic at all, because you realize that while they LOOK, they haven’t at all been LISTENING.

I’m sorry I just still think that the dissonance between her animation and her VA was an incredible stroke of genius because yeah. Yeah that’s what it’s like

Nobody can believe she's with Roger, the total opposite of a manly man. But unlike all the Real Men, Roger listens to her. He loves her for playing patty-cake and all their silly shared jokes. Of course they'd be in love.

important that you never forgive ice agents, ever. even years after all this is over (and I do believe we will make it out on the other side, alive and for the better,) they live in shame and disgrace forever. no excuses, no forgiveness. they ruined their own lives when they decided that human freedom and liberty was an acceptable sacrifice for a paycheck

Old friends falling apart Prompts!!

⟢ "We used to talk every day. I don't know when that stopped. I don't know which one of us let go first."

⟢ "I miss you and you're right there and that's somehow the loneliest thing I've ever felt."

⟢ "We grew in different directions and nobody did anything wrong and it still feels like losing something."

⟢ "I saw a photo of us from four years ago and I don't recognize either of those people anymore."

⟢ "You know me in a way nobody current does and someday that's just going to be a fact I carry."

⟢ "I keep meaning to call. I think you keep meaning to call. We're very good at meaning to."

⟢ "You were my person for a decade. I don't know what the word is for what you are now."

⟢ "I heard something funny the other day and I thought of you first and then remembered and put my phone back down."

⟢ "We just--stopped. Like a clock that nobody noticed had run down."

⟢ "I think we held on past the point where it was working because we both loved who we used to be to each other."

⟢ "You were at my worst and my best and now you're just, someone I used to know, and that doesn't feel like enough of a word."

⟢ "I don't know if I should reach out. I don't know if you want me to. I don't know when we became people who don't know that about each other."

⟢ "I think we made each other into who we are and then outgrew each other and I don't know if that's beautiful or devastating."

⟢ "The friendship I thought we'd have forever quietly became a friendship I have in past tense."

⟢ "I wish there had been a fight. Something to point at. Instead there was just--less and less, until nothing."

⟢ "I'm glad you're doing well. I mean that. I just wish I heard it from you."

⟢ "We were the kind of friends who didn't need to explain ourselves to each other. I miss being known like that."

⟢ "You're living a whole life I'm not part of and I had to find that out from someone else and I didn't know it would hit like that."

⟢ "I think about calling you when something big happens. And then I remember we're not that anymore. And I sit with that for a while."

⟢ "Nobody tells you that some friendships just quietly die. That there's no funeral. Just absence."

⟢ "We were so good together once. Maybe that's enough. Maybe that has to be enough."

⟢ "I don't want to be strangers. I just don't know how to be what we were. I don't know if that place still exists."

⟢ "I think losing you taught me more about grief than any actual loss I've had. That feels important somehow."

⟢ "If you ever need me--and I mean that, genuinely, no conditions--I'm still here. I'll probably always be a little bit still here."

We write because it’s nice to look back and see proof that we existed in that moment. Old drafts are embarrassing, yes, but they are also little fossils of who we were. The jokes we thought were funny. The wounds we kept circling. The tropes we were obsessed with. The sentence we clearly thought was devastating because we used it twelve times. Looking back at old writing is like meeting a younger version of yourself who was trying so hard. Be kind to them.

when i was younger i had a really bad fear of danny devito when i was going to sleep so my older brother gave me a watch that he set to like 8 hours ahead so that it was always daytime on the watch when i was asleep and he told me it would confuse danny devito and he would think it was daytime and get scared of the sun and leave me alon
