Writing prompt? No. Writing much delayed.
I used to try and resist what comes naturally to my writing, fearing judgement. I have learned that, through writing what I am passionate, I get stuff done. This is your sign to add that thing to your WIP. You know what that thing is to you.
luv how male animals gotta fucking dance around and cry and shit for female attention and sex. and then men irl complain about fat women and body hair like get on ur fucking knees and beg me actually
like these tarantulas dude?? the male has to tap out a rhythm she likes and if she doesn’t?? she’ll literally eat him.
Alpha males: "This is nature. You don't see animals acting like queers don't you?"
90% of nature documentaries: "Until now the female has been very impressed by the males drag performance of Orwell's Homage To Catalonia, soundtracked exclusively by Maria Carey songs. A demanding performance like that knows to impress. But... Oh No... One note in the final tune was one cent flat. It doesn't look good for the male now. She is ordering an orbital laser strike to burn his beautifully groomed plumage from space. It will take all year to regrow, effectively ending this one's mating season early. Better luck next time, little guy. Women are a tough audience."
I know there's a popular headcanon that Grace's crew died because of feeding tubes malfunction (based on the paperwork Grace was doing right before the explosion), but — in the book he specifically says that even after the accident he kept dealing with that same paperwork on minor Hail Mary issues, so I doubt that feeding tube problem was left unaddressed. May I offer instead:
Grace was put into coma by the people who cared about him. They (especially Yáo being Yáo) probably double-triple-quadruple checked everything. They watched him sleep for those first few days — I doubt they went into coma immediately after leaving Earth's orbit. They probably talked to him, assuring him that he'll be okay.
Ilyukhina's coma procedure was probably supervised by Yáo. He made sure that everything was in order, but — he is just one man and he is not a doctor. There was much more room for mistakes.
When Yáo went to sleep, he was alone. He had to rely on the technology completely.
We know that he died first.
what impresses me most about the creation of “Samalamadingdong” is the operational security. It wasn’t just coordinated embezzlement (though it objectively was that). There were so many different lies told to so many different people, coworkers and friends and family. There were secret slack channels and calendars dual-used alongside Sam-occupied ones. There were blurred Zoom meetings with people smashing plates just offscreen/out of hearing, a long-term secret warehouse rental, a Variety reporter—who presumably had to carefully tell their boss—Sam’s wife, and dozens of cast, crew, and other creatives involved—and yet nobody outside the carefully chosen people knew. Least of all Sam.
I’m accustomed to the “practically speaking, that could never actually be kept secret” anti-conspiracy argument, and I stand by it. There is no way NASA/the US govt in 1969 could’ve faked the moon landing and we wouldn’t know. But the cast and crew of Game Changer on Dropout.tv? Maybe! They! Could!!
Women stick thin and malnourished on the red carpet, and people are saying you can't point out that these women are dying because that's body shaming. Girl.

adhd paralysis sucks bcuz im just sitting there and my brain is like
YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME
no work done no rest gained. literally no point of this at all
just wanted to share these executive dysfunction comics i am so sorry to whoever drew them these have been saved on my phone for like 6 years
There’s a dog at work today who is a real life deviantart oc. He’s a border collie with long blonde 90s surfer dude bangs and it’s the most amazing thing I’ve seen since I started this job.
Nature is a wonder.
I was being 100% serious.
just watched an interview with james ortiz (rocky’s puppeteer) where he’s like “they were torturing ryan gosling for this movie. it was killing him. he was developing isolation sickness in real life from being the only actor on set for 6 months. i needed to be there for him even when rocky wasn’t in frame to serve as his guiding light and the sole thread tethering him to the concept of love. i was kneeling at the altar” and what
‼️‼️‼️‼️BULLSHIT ALERT‼️‼️‼️‼️
Coming from a trained actor who has worked on movie sets:
there are more than thousands of people and crew on set at all times
the director, assistant director, sound crew, lighting crew, cinematographer, and camera man are usually less than 50 feet away from you, you talk to them constantly if you are not an asshole to work with, which, reportedly (people in hollywood talk) Gosling is not
they work 12 hour days, with breaks, there's usually a 1 hour lunch break where cast, crew, and everyone else talk with each other. Family and friends can come talk to you here, depending on how intense the set is security and secrecy wise. but you can call people
the filming of project hail mary took about 5 months, but Ryan Gosling wasn't sitting there all alone in a dark room talking to a standing camera
what James Ortiz was referring to in the interview about "helping him feel less alone" was that he was giving Ryan Gosling a scene partner, and saying the lines and giving him a face to react to. This is something that happens in a lot of one-on-one scenes, sometimes they'll make you go stand next to the camera so that way an actor has an actual face to react to.
That was not keeping him sane, Ortiz was helping him act. Gosling did spend 100 days-ish alone on set IN THE SCENES, and hats-off to him because he did such a good job, but he was not developing isolation sickness. I think it would actually, in every sense of the term, be physically impossible to develop isolation sickness on a movie set, my brain is going ??????????
anyways, final point 2 points: NO ONE HAS SAID THIS EVER IN ANY INTERVIEW I CAN FIND
and 2: RYAN GOSLING SAID HE LIKED WORKING ALONE
actually they kept him locked in a tiny box 24/7 and didn’t let him see the sun and he would have perished of dehydration if not for james ortiz drizzling water through the bars of his enclosure
they literally put a cone on ryan gosling in between takes during filming all the outdoor shots because he was so delirious from loneliness and dehydration that he kept trying to drink out of puddles
