"oh how do the pirates in our flag means death just head out in a rowboat and find each other in the middle of the ocean with no maps or anything???"

Never heard of gaydar? Fucking idiot?

I can't believe Taika Waititi made all the vampires gay, and now he's making all the pirates gay. literally no one else is doing it like him.

Agustín: One bonus of being An Adult™ is grossly misusing modern slang on purpose and watching my own children cry inside.

Agustín: A fine example: the other day I pointed at Mariano and, while looking Isabela right in the eye, went, "Man is that bae or what?" and the look on her face was something I will treasure for years.

Picture this, you're stressed out because Covid and climate change finds you out of a job and now you can't pay for dental work so as you listen to the hold music to the dental clinic to cancel your wisdom teeth surgery you log into tumblr to calm your nerves only to be greeted by a Destiel meme informing you that the word flashing is banned and you realise fellow tumblr users can't use a warning for post that could trigger your epilepsy. Imagine this, you're now afraid and there's nothing you can do, no tag to filter out, no warning to safe you.

[at-the-sign-of-the-fox-n-phoenix]

the phrase ‘pulsing lights’ has been suggested as a workaround.  I know I will be using it. Your safety is important to me.

[fuzzydinosaur]

!!!!! I don't care if you've already rebloged this, reblog again and get the phrase 'pulsing lights' on blast to save an epileptic's life. This is a serious matter and should be brought to staff and apples attention !!!!!

[fuzzydinosaur]

Holy shit guys, I wasn't expecting this to blow up, over 7.5k notes in less than 12hrs. I wish I could've worded it better and not some angry self-indulgent rant when I originally posted it but thankfully I've gotten so many helpful comments/tags from so many users on here.

As frustrating as it is to have to filter out many tags instead of just one or two specific tags, I have been able to find different work arounds from the wonderful ppl who have rebloged my original post. Here are some I've seen meantioned a few times.

Strobe alert

Eye strain

Eyestrain

Strobing lights

Epilepsy warning

Strobe lights

Also, and I haven't really fact check this for obvious reasons, but adding a period (.) at the end off the work "flashing" is a good work around too.

Please do not use 'epilepsy' tag as a warning, for epileptics use that tag to communicate about their own health within the epileptic community.

As a clown I refuse to do sexy stuff in my real actual clown outfit because that is for the kids but I have a separate clown outfit for sexy stuff.

The trouble with public art installations is that even among those that don’t strive to be inoffensively bland, too many of them are designed to be cute or inspiring or edgy or otherwise provoke a specific, well-defined emotion. What we need is more public art whose intended reaction is “what in the goddamn…?”

90% of writing advice can be thrown out the window for your first draft.

Show don’t tell? Ignore.

Basic grammar and punctuation? Unnecessary. 

Physical descriptions of characters? Don’t need to bother. 

Solid plot? That’s for later. 

The words don’t come as fast when you’re thinking of the best way to put them together. It doesn’t have to be pretty, or much more than inconsistent nonsense.  The point is to have it exist.

Effective storytelling is for subsequent drafts! Go write some nonsense! 

[levidenoirs]

As a hyper-perfectionist human, THIS is a piece of advice I wish I’d internalized a hell of a lot sooner. If I hadn’t overwhelmed myself by considering every little thing, starting over when it gets “too messy”… there’s no doubt in my mind I’d have a first draft by now.

Now, passion is the only thing I care about in my first draft.

[crimeronan]

when i’m writing fiction, the main rule i try to stick to is that: the first draft is where i write what’s important to me.

this usually means character arcs and deep ethical and political debates for me, but for some people it’s gonna be physical description or in-depth plotting or Whatever

your subsequent drafts are where you fill in the gaps and make things make sense, but that first draft should be everything you personally care about, and don’t worry much about the rest

[breelandwalker]

Also? PRE. 👏  WRITE. 👏 THINGS. 👏

Got a scene in mind? Don’t try to fit it into your draft, just write it in a separate file and save it.

Got some witty dialogue on deck? Jot it down and keep it in your pocket!

Settings? Character development? Plot point ideas? Dramatic scenes? Write it all down! Keep a prewriting file, or two, or three, or however many you need. It doesn’t matter if what you put in them makes sense, or is totally disjointed, or whether it gets used at all.

Get those ideas in writing. Do NOT trust yourself to remember a great idea six weeks, two days, or fifteen minutes from now when you’ve got time to work it into the larger story. If you get ideas while you’re out and about or at work, keep a notepad in your pocket or text them to yourself.

Keep a treasure trove of all those wonderful fiddly bits that make your writing unique. You never know when they’ll come in handy!

look, i dont care what directors say in behind-the-scenes or interviews, if they dont present that information in the film, they are bad story tellers. like, we had to assume everyone attended your comiccon panel? like? no. you are bad at story telling. if a character appears with zero context, it is confusing. i am not saying spoon feed the audience, but goddamn, there are plot devices that should be there to explain why that character showed up. not just information from your twitter. i shouldnt have to absorb five layers of media for your film to make sense

PREACH

[seriousfic]

[kradeiz]

“Some of you might be inclined to say ‘Oh, that’s explained in the book’ or ‘That’s explained in the deleted scenes’ to which I say:

Too bad.

I will do research to review a film, I will not do homework just to sit down and watch the damn thing and try to figure out what’s going on. If you need me to know something so I don’t think your character is an asshole and you don’t indicate it to me, well, it’s your fault I think your character’s an asshole.”

[prismatic-bell]

The only stuff that should be interview or panel-exclusive should be fun facts, like “if you look in the very back of the Millennium Falcon you’ll see a plushie of Mog from Spaceballs. We threw it in there as a nod to Mel Brooks.”

[yeomanstuff]

It’s one thing for them to say, “this is this characters elaborate backstory we created to help define them and the actor’s portrayal of them.” It is another to have an elaborate backstory necessary to understand the film.

[crinosg]

Yeah, compare to the remake of 13 ghosts.

Each of the ghosts created for that movie has an elaborate backstory which explains who they were in life, and why they are angry ass ghosts in the present. However, since only one or two of their actual backgrounds are relevant to the plot (One of the ghosts is the dead wife of the hero who died in a fire), the backstories don’t really matter, they’re just neat things to look up later if you want more info on ghosts such as “Greaser with half his face ripped off” or “Giant man baby and his tiny mom” or “dismembered torso wrapped in cellophane”
