#i normally dont..#but…#feel it needs to be said

if you’re offline or away and i message you something (like a link to a meme or a picture or w/e) honestly just assume that i’m just leaving it there for when you get back and not expecting you to answer straight away. i don’t need you to respond with “hey, sorry, i wasn’t at the computer!” or anything. i was leaving u a gift for later.

slightmayhem

This also applies if you’re online and just don’t want to or have the energy to deal with humans in the moment. Just because we have the ability to reply in real time does not mean we have the obligation.

melon-official

im like a cat i drag the posts to ur doorstep and if ur not there it’s ok, the post will be on ur porch for later

friendrat

This also applies to text messages, but yeah. I’m leaving things for later. I do not assume everyone is on their phones all the time. People have lives.

"everybody hates me" factoid actually just a statistical error. The average person doesn't hate you, especially not your friends. You, a person who sits in your room experiencing self loathing every day, are an outlier adn should not have been counted.

This is sweet but I really thought it was going to end with someone named “Haters Horge” who spends every second in a cave halfway across the world just loathing you for no reason and they were the statistical outlier

Don't be your own Haters Horge

Best trick I ever picked up. Seriously.

I have also learned this is great for [PICK A COOL NAME FOR A SHIP] and [LOOK UP THE FACTS ABOUT OXYGEN LEVELS] and [WHAT’S THE WORD] and [DOUBLECHECK CHARACTER’S EYE COLOR] and ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

Anything that isn’t critical in the moment, and could be filled in later while I’m currently trying to burn through writing pages that will be lost if I don’t get them out right now? Brackets.

betweentimeand42

This is seriously the best advice, and it really helps put it into perspective that the first draft is just that- a draft. There’s no reason to agonize over a particularly tricky bit of writing when you could just leave it in brackets and skip to the good parts, the parts you’ve visualized. I also use brackets for [fact-check this], [use a stronger verb], [is this in character?] and other notes as I write, just so I don’t forget what I want to work on when I go back and edit.

petermorwood

Note the good sense of [brackets] not (parentheses).

Parentheses AKA round brackets can appear in fiction, usually as an afterthought in a character's thoughts or narration (as I saw them used just recently), but square brackets hardly ever do.

Good post op. {need to remember this for later}

This is brilliant and im sharing to remind myself and so more people see this too!

#writerly things #writerlife #writing tips #this is brilliant

heavenbarnes

is it controversial for me to say that fan fiction writers shouldn’t have to accept criticism of their writing? it’s not as if anyone is entering this for a grade, they’re writing about characters doing stuff - they don’t need to know that you didn’t like it maybe just move on

rierse

I keep seeing 'just a little note about grammar ...' comments in one of my fav writers comments, and It's so hard not to throttle them a little. It's usually mixed in with a nice comment about the fic, but the author has never asked for con crit!

It's usually something tiny, because the author is a good writer and there's nothing big to point out, but it irks me because it seems like they are hunting for something to point out for no reason that I can see.

It would bug me if someone called out my mistakes in public- even while I would appreciate the same thing in a DM from a writer friend.

Sorry. End rant.

I think more people need to play around with Damian's speech. Don't get me wrong, I love the antiquated Victorian child style of speech, but also he's a teenager that swears plenty in the comics. We really need more scenes like:

Damian: Father, I regret to inform you that I have been assigned in-school suspension for the next three days.

Bruce: What, why?!

Damian: My classmate Kevin was disparaging a female classmate for turning him down, so I called him 'a rizz-less, basic-ass neckbeard bitch' and said I was going to fuck his mom and give her a son she'd actually love.

Bruce: *is completely speechless*

Damian: That is all I needed to tell you. If you will excuse me, I have homework to complete before dinner and patrol.

wheredostarsgowhenyoudie

Once upon a time after a mission impossible.

Redhood: Oh, I'm still alive. Thought I died again.

Ladybug: Same. How many times?

Redhood (laughs bitterly): Once is more than enough for eternal rage. Thank you very much.

Ladybug (backtracks): Oh

Ladybug: Uhm, yeah, you're right. Of course.

Redhood (narrows his eyes): Wait. Hang on. What do you mean? How many times have you died?

Ladybug (forces out a weak laugh): Oh, ah, normal amount.

Redhood: (stares)

Ladybug: (gulps)

Redhood: Pretend I'm ignorant. Normal amount is? Tell me a number.

Ladybug (squeaks): Two thousand sixty five. Not sure cause I lost count! But it's alright! I'm alright. I am still alive! See? Two eyes, two arms, two legs.

Rest of batkids and Justice League who are listening in comms: (all freeze)

Just then, a portal opens in thin air, and Chat's head appears.

Ladybug: Chat! What the heck? What you are doing here?

Chat (scoffs): Pretending I'm not listening in, let me just say that LB is a lying liar who lies. Try five thousand, seven hundred and fifty six. But yeah, she's right. It's very normal in our line of work.

Ok but yes if anyone has an recs for fic where a miracu kid casually mentions how many times they have died and blue screens a bat or justice leaguer i have a new tag i need to read…. <.< >.>

Bruce- So anyway, then I-, wait. Hang on.

Bruce, standing and walking to the window, pulling it open and leaning out of it- Don't even think about it!

Jason- Oh, come on!

Dick- How'd you know?!

Tim- I TOLD you he bugged us!

Clark- What were they about to do?

Bruce- No idea. But I've learned to play the odds

thesulkycroissant

I want Damian to know that Bruce was so excited about his birth. I want Damian to know that Bruce was ready to give it all up for him so he wouldn't be alone or in danger. I want Damian to know he's more important to Bruce than the mission.

Look, reanimation is a Process, okay

ohmightysmiter

“Reanimation is a process” is a sentence that just makes me want to play a Necromancer as a very deadpan Build-A-Bear employee.

Ok but this is hilarious and i love it 🤣

Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.

I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻

aphroditestummyrolls

If you could help me spread awareness about this by reblogging, I’d really appreciate it.

roastedmoose

I’ve had this post on insta saved for sometime ❤️

urban-bike-cryptid-deactivated2

[Text Description: “Hey! Reminder: Eskimo is a slur. It means ‘snow eaters’ in Cree and is a slur against Inuit . Also don’t use ‘Eskimo kisses’. It’s called Kunik. It is a greeting mostly used for family… Kunik was how I’d greet my mom and grandmother as a small child.” /TD]

vickytokio

Rebloging for the awareness and especially for the alternative words

anarchopuppy

And so people who are just learning this now know the proper usage: “Inuit” is plural. The singular is “Inuk”, as in “he is an Inuk”

Oh!!!! Good to know!!!! I had no idea

im firmly of the belief that batmans cape is just a hotspot for batkids, in the same way as if you touched a spider and a load of mini spiders just erupt from nowhere and you go WTF?? thats batman.

he goes somewhere on a regular justice league mission and then by the end hes just like "alright time to go to the batcave" and suddenly 6 fully grown adults and a child pop out and are like "can we get batburger on the way" and every jl member loses their shit

Malachite Milestones Wave 2

Starting off, Thank you all for your amazing suggestions!

We had a total of 11 responses and 47 unique ships. These split into 8 Garnet, 25 Rhodonite, and 14 Alexandrite. Another amazing stat is that one ship was suggested so many times (15) that it was promoted to Garnet. While it the ship seems to have plenty of Maribatters wanting it, it is still going through the voting process to be fair. Those in the discord know what ship that is. The next step is voting on the ships that Maribatters want to see as the Active Roster. The link will be featured below.
