I’m ordering on Vistaprint, and it kept asking me all this bullshit SPECIAL OFFERS that I do not want, I just want some business cards, and I accidently said yes to billing address = shipping address and...it’s....not.......

I don’t want to do all of that again I MIGHT JUST GO FIND SOMEONE ELSE.... >:V That was...so exhausting....just to place an order....

THATS HARDCORE

I KNOW RIGHT

I mean realistically I’m probably never going to wear it because I’m rubbish at not tearing up my hands with physical work (the sad reason my manicures last like, three days max) but it’s going right on my chain necklace with my mom’s wedding ring FOREVER.

what are your favourite narrative elements you don't see a lot in fiction? :0

Hmm, i'm afraid i'm rly boring and traditional when it comes to narrative elements/structure. I do have a preference--third person, limited POV for novels. Things like that? At the same time, while limited third person POV is very popular, I don't think authors take enough advantage of getting into.... the very deep down specifics of how their character might think? Most of the time the POV is limited, yes, but in some kind of superficial way. Like it's mainly a tool for telling the story, not showcasing the main character. THIS PROBABLY SOUNDS VERY PRETENTIOUS OR ARROGANT--I'm not trying to say the author doesn't KNOW their own dang character POV.. it's... like... idk. I'm going to be terrible and use Captive Prince as an example. That line we all love? From Damen's POV--"so that he can more accurately despise him."  That's an example of what I'm trying to explain. Like, would Laurent think this exact line? Probably not. IM BAD AT EXPLAINING THIS. I just know it when I see it.

For TV shows I always think back to Scrubs and how JD always has these ridiculous "daydream" sequences that were 99% of the time RIDICULOUS and OBVIOUSLY a daydream. It was normal for the show, those daydream sequences, so when the other 1% of the daydreams were real and serious, it gave those episodes levity (often having to do with themes of denial and grief), were always so well done. Very impactful. I'm not sure how other TV shows would pull this off with directly copying from it, though--but the point it-- those daydream sequences were used to show what the character is thinking or imagining in a way that a simple voiceover couldn't do (or COULD do, but I dislike voiceover monologues in general).

omg i’ve HEARD OF THAT…. AMAZING. apparently lemony snicket also gets p rude in his commentary track for the asoue film, like, at one point he busts out an accordion?

I HAVE HEARD THAT ALSO. both speakers here are pretty apathetic, i think with asoue there's at least one person who's actually trying? whom snicket just, ignores. i think that would add depth.

SWERVE

I NEVER STOP TALKING. EVER. WORDS FOREVER AND EVER. my linguistic prowess is vast and mildly overbearing, and my unfettered desire to hear myself speak and to engage in endless witty banter is remarkable. i would make an excellent quip-dropping supporting character who desperately wants to spend time with others

i am endlessly curious and would have set off the meta-bomb as well let's not even lie to ourselves

my liquor skills (both the consumption and serving of) span provinces, space and time

i'm not especially short, in that the average height of a canadian gal seems to be 162 and i'm around 169... then again i do hang around many abnormally tall adonises so by association this may be a complete and total lie within my many social circles 

most people generally like me? I HOPE?? i've always been given the impression from others that i'm a reasonably acceptable person to be friends with and fall more on the side of endearing than annoying... which sadly swerve does not seem to do that often in the narrative despite his best efforts (YOU REMAIN MY FAVOURITE THO, FICTIONAL BUDDY)

i am not a space robot.... yet

oh man they have a perfect chance for a ‘nativity’ pun but WILL THEY TAKE IT

see, i doubt it, bc i don't think they're actually that good at this. being good at this would have avoided natidays all together
