I know. I know coffee shop in english means something else. that it's an establishment for drinks. but I STILL do a double take every single time I see the word used with mentions of drinks or stuff like that. dutch curse.

Stevie's yearbook photo! She's never put a picture in her heart-shaped locket even though she wears it every day.

I got a new brush set and I'm loving it. Making fan art again has been so refreshing. I even joined the steddie big bang (got my top pick too). Eddie's coming soon!

Tips for Writing Injuries! (AGAIN)

Your action hero just got shot in the shoulder, stitched it up in a motel bathroom, and is now running through a forest. I need you to know that a shoulder wound severs muscle, nerves, and sometimes bone, and the human body's response to that is not "mild wincing followed by full range of motion." here is what injuries actually do to peoplee...

⊹ Adrenaline is REAL and it does allow people to do extraordinary things immediately after injury, BUT it is a loan, not a gift. you borrow the function and you pay it back later with interest. Your character might genuinely be able to run for twenty minutes after being stabbed. and then the adrenaline drops and everything the body was delaying arrives all at once. the collapse is NOT weakness. it's biology collecting its debt. write the debt collection. it's more interesting than the heroic sprint anyway.

⊹ Blood loss changes cognition before it drops you. you don't go from "fine" to "unconscious." you go through a whole middle stage of confusion, poor decision-making, emotional dysregulation, a strange calm, tunnel vision, difficulty forming sentences. Your injured character making a bad call, saying something they normally wouldn't, becoming suddenly and inexplicably gentle--that's blood loss. use the middle stage. it's dramatically rich and almost nobody writes it.

⊹ Recovery has a timeline and the timeline is long and boring and inconvenient to plot. a broken rib takes six weeks and during those six weeks sneezing is a genuine emergency. a concussion means no screens, no reading, no bright lights, and symptoms can persist for months. a stab wound to the abdomen means weeks of infection risk, limited mobility, and a specific kind of exhaustion that has nothing to do with sleep. Your character being sidelined and frustrated and useless for a long time is not a narrative problem. it's the story.

⊹ Pain also affects personality in ways writers skip. chronic pain makes people short-tempered and then guilty about being short-tempered. it makes concentration difficult. it makes intimacy complicated, both emotional and physical. a character who was patient and warm before their injury and is now snappy and withdrawn is not a character regression. they're in pain. pain is exhausting in ways that don't show on the outside. the people around them noticing and not knowing how to help is a whole story in itself.

If there’s one thing about these two, it’s that they’re going to be employed.

It won’t let me reblog EVERYONE LOOK

the big one fucks the small one = tired, derivative, ubiquitous, wow did you think of that yourself

the small one fucks the big one = contrarian, woooah so different and original look at you, you don't actually think that

the small one and the big one fuck each other = oh really, wow, radical centrist over here, shut up, dismissive jacking off motion

[t4timekeeper]

people of colour deserve to be able to enjoy fluff and escapism and transformative media and silly fandom stuff the same way that everyone else is allowed to, i think. there’s a lot of unexamined hostility toward anyone who isn’t white; sometimes it’s subtle, and sometimes it’s not. there needs to be far more love and support for poc, and far less defensiveness and tolerance regarding racism in spaces like these.

The X-Files from The Lone Gunmen's perspective really is too good. Your leftist trans polycule is hacking and trying to find out and leak government secrets and whistleblow atrocities, and one of your best friends is an FBI agent but he's literally insane and keeps doing insane stuff but then they just let him keep being an FBI agent forever and you're starting to wonder if the government is even competent enough to be doing all of these evil conspiracies at all because why is this man still an FBI agent and why is his partner the most beautiful woman you've ever seen and why are they in a slow burn lesbian relationship and you probably shouldn't tell your friend about your home-brew HRT operation but honestly that might be the only thing that could help her.

Cannot express how disinterested I am in seeing traumatized characters "reconcile" with their canonically shitty parental figures.

I probably don't have to even say this but this has turned out to be the most "omg Blorbo from my shows" post I could have made. I have no idea who tf 90% of the people in the tags are but you're very passionate about them.
