Please be gentle with your first drafts; they are the way they are because this is the first time you’ve ever written those scenes, chapters, etc. Some concepts you thought of literally moments ago. Of course they’re not going to be perfect or come out exactly the way you wanted. There will always be more time to perfect them, though, so just keep writing and have as much fun as you can!

Just in case this needs to be said:

It’s the first draft. Use the word “suddenly.” Put as many dialogue tags and adverbs as you want. Say “he saw” “she remembered” “she felt” “they wondered” as many times as you need to. Put the em dash there, put in too many commas, use semi-colons with reckless abandon. Type in [whatever] instead of thinking up a title for something. Just write it. If you worry too much about the particulars, about all the advice posts you’ve seen saying whatever you’re doing is wrong or not good enough, you won’t get anything done. It will slow you down as you go back and try to reword what you just wrote to make it better, proper. The first draft doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be done. And when you get to the end, you’ll find that all those “mistakes” are just clues for your future self to put together to make it all better.

Putting in adverbs and certain dialogue tags are a note for you as to who is saying something and how they’re saying it. When you’re editing, you can make sure it shows through the story instead. The word “suddenly” is a reminder to make things more abrupt. The first draft is just you mapping out where you want to go and how you want to get there. Don’t waste time trying to get it 100% right now, because then it will never get done. Don’t think too much– just write. Save the thinking for editing later.

I just saw these news that this brazilian 15 years old boy made a fake profile pretending to be a 14 years old girl

And with this profile, he baited a creepy old dude

And so they agree to meet at a nearby park during the night.

And the old dude goes there, expecting to find some naive girl to be preyed upon

only to find the 15 years old boy

dressed as SPIDER-MAN

AND DRESSED AS SPIDER-MAN

THE BOY KICKED THE DUDE’S ASS. LIKE. LEGIT KICK HIS ASS

HE HAD BRASS KNUCKLES

Of course, the creep wasn’t happy with it, and called the police on the spiderman kid. And when the police found the kid, you know what he did?

He said “that guys a pedo lol” and gave them a drive with all the evidence he collected thru the profile

Thank you, Spider-man. Thank you for your service.

I know I said I wasn’t going to post anything until tumblr’s bot calmed down, but I really wanted to do some fan art lol..

So I finished reading Angor Reborn recently and wanted to draw Jim in his moonlight armor with Sir Barks-a-lot! I haven’t drawn Troll-Jim before so this was a bit of a challenge.

Bonus:

For the record, they were arguing over *whether or not they should get married*. She was pro, he was con, saying that if they loved each other the ring and the marriage certificate were unnecessary, that their love would be the commitment they needed. This was a fight they’d had for weeks. He didn’t just propose to shut her up in a totally unrelated argument…. him proposing was also him saying “you’re right, you won the argument” and that’s why this is cute.
