Maisie Peters for FLORESCENCE

[jazream]

make it exist now, make it good later

back in the day i had this bad habit of contemplating how every story beat is going to play out before my words even hit the paper, and it led me to abandoning my projects with only two chapters done, if that

you dont have to have all the answers before you write, and when you do inevitably write, theres a 90% chance you won’t like how your first draft turns out. the first draft usually has a lot of problems and may conflict with the rest of your vision. but you’ll never make it to that second draft if you don’t finish the first

so stop tryna be a perfectionist

make it exist now, make it good later

Girl whose most frequent mistake is inaction voice: wow I keep making mistakes I better not do anything

[thegrimmlibrarian]

Ignore that voice, that voice is evil, they're trying to stop you from doing the thing you wanna do! Just do iiiiiiiiiiiittttttt!!!!

WENT TO THE MELBOURNE RENFAIRE AND HAD SO MUCH FUN!! It was so nice to just wander around with a friend, even if it was pouring rain.

And trinket trading!! That was my first time trinket trading!! I hand braided some bracelets, had some keys, cogs, ribbon flowers, beads, and had some wonderful interactions with people!!!

[thegrimmlibrarian]

I went as well on the Sunday, it was so fun! got so many trinkets, quite the haul

The Midnight Girls by Alicia Jasinska – Review

“It is not a fairy tale. And monsters like us don’t get happy endings.” In the wintery kingdom of Lechija, it is carnival or Karnawal season

[magicratfingers]

i like when you see a little lizard go skittleskittleskitter and then stop & do some push ups

The dragon snarled. 'So, another foolish knight has come seeking my hoard." "Actually, I'm an accountant, and I'm here to audit your finances."

[thegrimmlibrarian]

Even dragons need their taxes doing!

[eyelessfog]

a character who truly, legitimately goes “but why does that matter?” about their feelings when someone who cares about them asks. and the sudden falling of everyone around them’s faces as they realize that this person doesn’t recognize themself as someone who needs or should be taken care of. i want Everyone to hurt. surprise at the idea, worry for them, horror at not having noticed. do you see this person who doesn’t think of themselves as a person?

[kingedmundsroyalmurder]

Thesis: a big reason so many romance stories make one or both characters wealthy is that part of the fantasy is being so materially secure that you can afford for your emotional and interpersonal feelings and problems to be the most important thing in your life.

Dunno if this is real or false memory but I grew up watching soviet cartoons and "cute sturgeon wearing a bandana over her head" was like a reoccurring character design. But I haven't been able to find any screenshots. So either slavic bandana sturgeon is lost media, an original idea that came to me in a dream, or Google is falling apart piece by piece and we wont be able to find anything online ever again
