“I always intended for Azula to have a redemption arc in the story of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Longer and far more complicated than Zuko’s. She had not bottomed out in the end of season three, she had further to go. At the deepest moment in her own abyss, she would have found: Zuko. 

“Despite it all, her brother Zuko would be there for her. Believing in her, sticking by her, doing his best to understand and help her hold her pain that she can no longer hold alone. Zuko – patient, forgiving, and unconditionally loving – all strengths he gained from Uncle Iroh. 

“That’s how she would have gotten out, and changed. With the faith and love of someone she had hurt, but who stuck by her anyway. Just as he had been saved by faith and love from someone he had hurt, who stuck by him. 

“And I always imagined that after coming out the other side, she would be one of those people who hilariously over-shares her own feelings all the time, and that she would be a bit over-apologetic. Like a Canadian version of Azula.” 

– Aaron Ehasz, head writer and co-executive producer of AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER

I am scared of this Darcy’s power.

Me in 2022 when the pandemic hasn’t ended yet because people don’t know how to act right and I’ve been holed up in my house for three years acquiring a new flavor of crazy, going to open the door for the guy in the hazmat suit that’s come to deliver my groceries

[lew-basnight]

When I was 18, circumstances found me stuck on the family farm for three months, alone with no vehicle. Twice my mom came back for half an hour to drop off food and smokes. There was no internet, only a couple fuzzy broadcast tv stations. Phone calls were expensive. The closest bump on the highway was about 500 people, with a Kwik Trip and some churches. It was about three hours each way. The closest neighbor was a mile away across hills and valleys.

By the end I was wearing a white robe and broad straw hat, carrying a sword, peeing on the lawn, performing magic on the hilltops. I was deep into some wild conspiracy shit and doing a lot of writing, making a lot of mix tapes. I talked intensely with the tv and radio, and developed in-depth relationships with the characters on “Hill Street Blues.”

If I learned anything from the experience, it is this.

Give in to the inevitable craziness right away, and just get comfortable.

If you’re a fanfic writer and people message you with questions about your work, cherish that. It’s the thing I miss most about it since I started focusing on original stuff.

Y’know, that makes me think of something, actually.

So if you’re one of those “I can only write when I feel Inspired™” type of writers but you never seem to feel very inspired, and all of the usual “You have to make a schedule and stick to it and sit down and write XYZ words per day” writing tips have never worked for you and only make you feel guilty but you have no idea why,

have you perhaps considered that you might be neurodivergent / mentally ill / have a chronic health condition, and that what you call “inspiration” is what the rest of us call “spoons”?

B/c that is exactly what happened to me.

[wodneswynn-deactivated-deactiva]

I haven’t been able to find it since, but I read an article ages and ages ago that said:  There is no such thing as writer’s block.  What we call “writer’s block” is what the medical community refers to as “depression.”

And I went, “Huh.”

[kittyknowsthings]

Yup, I do try to write every day, tho I grant myself exceptions or go for journaling and plotting when I can’t do prose.

And when writing isn’t happening, something is always either up with me (The day before I actually start feeling symptoms of a cold, for example, i will ALWAYS spectacularly fail at writing for, at that point, no discernible reason, and then the next morning I wake up and go “Blergh. Oh. That explains it”. Other health factors, physical and mental, of course also play their parts. I drained my emotional battery over major fuckery going on at Spousecat’s work and it ate my writing spoons for DAYS.) or the bit I’m writing (I’m missing key information, I’m trying to force the characters into wrong directions) 

How well my writing is going has as such become a rather useful self-monitoring tool.

Obviously the health officials did not talk to anyone even loosely affiliated with an actual school. For reasons big or small, terrible or sympathetic, parents send children to school sick all the time.

[tesria]

Schools have spent decades encouraging nonsensical levels of attendance, rewarding kids who don’t take a single day off all term/semester/year, and even punishing kids who take “too much” time off sick. Kids who actually get ill enough to stay home miss out on fun things and “prizes” and awards, because going to school with the flu (or almost anything else) is considered right, good, and necessary.

Then a pandemic comes along that solidly half the population insists is “just the flu” and you think people are going to forget that you indoctrinated them to believe that if they were capable of being conscious (and sometimes not even then) they should be in school? (And later, in work - this is at least part of the point of this stuff, training you to work while sick).

To say nothing of the simple fact that parents are frequently without childcare options and are forced to be in work even if they should be isolating. That’s also a huge problem.

[muppethole-deactivated20240312]

it's so funny seeing people on twitter pining after tumblr like "damn the tagging system was great" or "i miss customizing my own page" it's like that scene in movies where everyone eulogizes a character who's very much still alive and in the room

[lady-literature]

I want someone to edit this with the to be continued end card because that'd be funny

[saltybutsad]

oh you like mcyt? how does it feel not knowing what you want to do with your life because you both have too many things you want to do and nothing you want to do? so you just have no plan for your future and just hope things work themselves out?

i think actually dean would yell about being queer. i think he would find communities online of queer leftists being fuckin anarchists and would be like “oh HELL yeah thank GOD i’m queer.” he would get charlie to painstakingly paint the bi flag on his cheeks and go to pride. he would smile at the kids there and hold cas’s hand and show them “look it’s okay. it’s okay to be okay with this, to be PROUD of this. to yell it from the rooftops.” when the guys at the garage ask about his wife he would remember lisa and smile then say “oh husband, actually,” and then he’d smirk because angel of the lord actually and go into the full fake story of how he and cas met and how lost he’d be without him and how much he loves the dude

i think he’d lay with cas and talk about benny or lee or aaron or any of the other guys he’d been attracted to. and he’d talk about cassie and lisa and rhonda hurley and the other women he’d been with. and when sam tries to make a little brother joke about it all dean would SHRIEK about how sam was being biphobic and that was HATE SPEECH and sam would roll his eyes but take note that this isnt something dean is afraid of or ashamed of or pretending it’s something other than what it is.
