It's just not the same without Dippy...
You know that moment in the story where you think all is lost: the hero is down for the count, the bad guy is gloating, and you’re crying ragey hot tears over the mistakes, the betrayals, the bad luck, and the horrible injustice? There’s a foot on the hero’s neck and she’s eating dirt. It’s awful. Remember, this is also the point in the story where the hero digs deeper than ever before to find resources that can only be found at the very end of what we think are our limits. To all the artists, innovators, visionaries, creators, and makers out there, take the time you need. You just got flattened and everybody saw it and it’s painful and mortifying and it won’t be easy to just shake this one off. It might even feel like the best solution is to stay down, they rooted for the bad guy, they relished his win, why fight for these people? Let them have their giant wall if they want it so bad. But, it’s important that you rally. If half the country gets wall-happy and starts bricking everything off and everything becomes one big Keep Out sign, you must get busy making the words and images that melt divisions. Do your work. Dig a tunnel, knit a ladder, be a bulldozer of love. Make art that re-introduces us to our humanity, that shows us who we are, that we are the same, that we have all endured loss and pain, that we’re all fucked up and perfect and biased and unlimited in our potential to make a better world, and that we can’t prosper if we’re separated by walls of ideology, status, identity, competition, and stupid nonsense like what color body we inhabit. Maybe the keep out signs don’t affect you, but I can guarantee you that they affect someone you love - someone who will be walled off from health care, walled off from feeding or educating their kids, walled into violence, dehumanization, or poverty with no escape. Take the time you need, then git up and mill your fear, disappointment, rage, and confusion into a song, a story, a comedy set, a community center, an app, a thing of beauty, a thing of shadow, I don’t care what you make, just make it with everything you’ve got and tear down the walls wherever you find them.

I'm not sure which of my colleagues did this to our stress ball, but I feel ya.

On Kaladesh, a view from a different angle
Boy, it’s been quite the month for me, from the paxplosion of kaladesh through the actual release of the set this week, and quite the emotional roller coaster. Tides of support matched by tides of hate, lots of questions, comments, and reconsidered positions on where i stand with the set and the game as a whole.
Among the many comments my essay got, one particularly stood out to me. This person, whose name I’ve sadly forgotten, said “Kaladesh doesn’t take place in India, it takes place in Silicon Valley”.
When I first read this, I laughed out loud, because I live in Silicon Valley, and the idea was completely hilarious. And then I stopped laughing, because I realized that it was true. Kaladesh really is my culture after all.
Keep reading

Can I just absorb your energy for writing? I have so much trouble getting 1,000 words in a week.
Okay, real talk: just sit down and write for a little bit. Don’t think about words. Think about what happens in the story, and how you want to tell it. Then go to the next thing, and the thing after that.
Don’t stop and judge yourself. Don’t stop and criticize what you did. Don’t worry about how it sounds. You get to do all that when you rewrite and edit.
Also, if you can tell the story in 500 words, or 1000 words, or 1500 words, don’t stress out about how long it is. Just tell the story, and it’ll take as many words as it takes.
It may help to make a commitment to yourself, like “I will sit down, turn off my distractions, and write however much comes out for one hour.” Or maybe you can try something a little different, like, “I want to watch that show, or play that game, or eat that ice cream. When I finish writing for [some period of time], I’ll do that thing I want to do.”
And just keep doing various versions of that until you find something that works for you. You’ll know it when you find it, and it’ll be awesome.
Oh, and as a fun side benefit of that? While you’re trying all these different things to keep you motivated to write, you’re writing. And before you know it, you have a story that’s ready for some rewrites.
Just to give you some perspective and reassurance, @josephvonhazard: I’ve been on the same scene for almost 90 minutes. I’m trying to work out some dialog and it’s not coming easily, at all. 227 words in about 90 minutes. It isn’t a lot, but it’s more than I had when I started, and it’s getting me to the next scene, which should come more easily, because I’ve spent so much time in this dialog, I actually know precisely what happens next. So, you see, the thing is: it’s taken me 90 minutes to get these 227 words out, but I’m *also* working on probably the next 500 or 800 words at the same time, in the background. You can do it!
Cosplay all the things…because u can!
Unless you’re fat like me.
FUCK THAT SHIT, DUDE
YOU ARE FUCKING FABULOUS COSPLAY WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT
IF YOU HAVE TO MODIFY A COSTUME SO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WEARING IT, DO THAT! IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE 100% EXACTLY LIKE THE CHARACTER’S IF YOU ROCK IT LIKE THE GODDAMN CHAMP YOU ARE
AND IF ANYONE MAKES YOU FEEL BAD FOR COSPLAYING YOU PUNCH THEM IN THE DICK AND SHIT ON EVERYTHING THEY LOVE BECAUSE YOU ARE A GODDAMN RAY OF SUNSHINE AND THEY CAN GO TO HELL
The bolded bit there? I feel like that advice is beautiful for SO MANY SITUATIONS.
This is really motivational wow thank you

When people assume Celtic = Irish I get a strong urge to stab myself in the eye.
No no no no no no.
Sit down we must have a conversation.
There were 6 Celtic nations.
Éire, Cymru, Alba, Kernow, Breizh, and Ellan Vannin.
Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Cornwall, Brittany, and the Isle of Mann respectively.
They’re all related, but not the same. They all have different languages descended from a similar group, Irish (Gaeilge), Scottish (Gàidhlig), Manx (Gaelg), Welsh (Cymraeg), Cornish (Kernowek), and Breton (Brezhoneg). Some are more widely spoken than others, for example Welsh is still commonly spoken in Wales, whereas hearing Cornish in Cornwall instead of English is rare. All Celtic nations have varied mythology and culture. Irish Mythology is different from Breton Mythology, and even Welsh and Cornish mythology (arguably the most related Celtic Nations) have subtle differences to each other. I wish I could add more about the cultures at this time but my knowledge of Celtic nations is primarily made up of the history and languages of those regions, particularly Cornwall.
You might have notice that England and English are missing from this, because the English descended from Anglo-Saxons, who were German invaders that came to the isles right around the Fall of the Roman empire in the 5th Century, erasing the Celtic influence in what is now England.
So what this all really means is that Celtic is an umbrella term, and just because it’s Celtic doesn’t mean it has anything to do with Ireland at all. So don’t assume that just because someone’s talking about something Celtic that they’re talking about something Irish.
I actually didn’t know this. Thank you, tumblr person
I love you for this. I love learning and this day started in a good note.
