Red Kite

I'm just reblogging whatever seems like a good idea at the time.

ok tumblr is currently telling me my blog has no posts with the tags I use to track my posts, so I'm making a new one in the hope that the easy win will help the search function to believe that the power to search for my tags was inside it all along

well i misread that

why your sewing machine is acting up: - tension is wrong - wrong needle size - thread bit stuck somewhere - tension again - needs a deep clean and oiling - you said something and now its offended and refusing to cooperate until you realize your error and beg forgiveness

[jabberwockypie]

you put the needle in backwards

thread too old

needle is bent or dull and needs replacing

I think if I were to write purely self-indulgent stories with no regard to artistic integrity or narrative and focused exclusively on personal catharsis and self-gratification I would just write little montages of adults being forced to confront children they have wronged and experiencing remorseful ego death about it. which could mean nothing.

me, driving: time to recreationally imagine scenarios in which someone is haunted by a dead or dying child who reveals to them exactly how their actions or inactions lead to the child’s death

me: this is regular of me

momentarily had the thought “shout out to my platonic harem” and then remembered that’s called friends

listen to me. now more than ever, it is critically important that you eat a big slice of bread and butter at your earliest convenience.

If I were a bunny, I would jump for joy whenever I'm happy. conversely though, like if I were upset, I would be hopping mad

Me (A time traveler visiting 20-year old Mozart): OK, so, this is called an electric guitar, basically instead of the body functioning as a resonance chamber, it produces music by harnessing the power of lightning. Do you have any other questions?

Mozart (Currently shredding Violin Concerto No. 1 on the guitar, having figured it out within 30 seconds): What other music can be made from harnessed lightning?

Me (Loading up some heavy dubstep): Oh, we're just getting started.

i think some of you dont like narratives or stories or characters i think you just like fanfiction tropes

[taahko]

protagonists can and will be sexist, racist, insensitive, cruel, stupid, etc, especially towards the beginning of a story. these are called character flaws and they are a surprise tool that will lead to narrative fulfillment later

[mapswithoutwyoming]

And sometimes "narrative fulfillment" doesn't mean "the character overcomes their flaws" or even "the antihero is punished for their flaws"! sometimes it means the narrative says "wow was that fucked up or what? anyway i'm rod sterling"

[teachagainstfascism]

i just have this persistent feeling of “i’m not doing enough” combined with “i don’t have the energy to do anything” and it just really fucking sucks

[if-loki-was-a-fox]

I should be able to stare at a mutuals's vent post so hard my eyes become lasers that beam comfort and reassurance and companionship and solidarity all the way through the phone screen to them
