In writing, miscommunications are a lot like coincidence, in that most audiences don't mind them if they're early on and start a plot element, but fucking detest them if they are the conclusion/resolution of a plot element.

You want to write a good miscommunication plot? You gotta root the miscommunication in why your characters can't understand each other. It's gotta be a clash of worldviews, not wording. The resolution cannot be that they have a conversation and realize "Whoops! You didn't know a bit of info/didn't understand what I was saying! Now you do, so we're all good!" it's gotta deal with the consequences that occured because of the initial misunderstanding, and the context that led to the misunderstanding to begin with. (OR You gotta focus on the things done while the Miscommunication was happening, and the consequences of that.)

(example: Miscommunications are actually really common in romance/relationship stories, like if Character A has low self-confidence and misreads B's advances as a joke. They need to move together towards A understanding B, or A has to get to a place where they understand their own worth and thus understanding B. They can't just sit down and B promises they totally mean it, or everything in-between was a waste of time.)

just saw the trailer for netflix’s inside job come up and um that looks antisemitic as fuck... ik it’s literally about conspiracy theories but inherently through capitalising off these, and giving them a platform even fictional, just feels off. like theres literally pictures of the illuminati triangle on the trailer of a show about senators who are really lizard people and... yeah. 

can someone who’s actually seen it please share their thoughts? thank you.

Me: Hey brain can I hyperfixate on something useful for once

Brain: Ok so from now on you’ll like *spins wheel* learning chinese, but only  *pulls card* staring at it without knowing what it means in awe, and only as long as *throws dart* you’re not first on the Duolingo leaderboards, AND *shakes an 8ball* I’m giving you TWO WEEKS

If someone has ever read a chapter book to a young child or played music around/as a pregnant person "for the baby" they aren't allowed to say kids are too young to understand the blues clues pride video. You understand the basic premise of introducing kids to concepts they won't fully understand yet, you're just homophobic. next question.

Video Idea: Geoguessr stream but there’s at least one person from every nationality, with people able to represent two or more if they’re billingual. The person moving the camera points at a sign. One person shouts something that sounds a lot like “yes! yes!” in a different language. Now everyone must figure out what that language is
