i'm a writer irl (can't say who because my agent would put me into a blender and press go) and honestly the funniest and most humiliating incident of my life was the time my finished manuscript triggered a plagiarism flag with the publisher for two lines of prose in my literary fiction novel...

.... which was word for word similar to a paragraph in a certain explicit work on FFN starring elrond and his batsman from the hobbit films, aka that one elf that looked like he ate panic attacks for breakfast (i forget his name but it's Figwit II) where the lord of imladris bends said twink over his writing desk and gives him the battering ram treatment.

and if you think i had to sit in front of one if the biggest publishing companies in the world and admit that it was, in fact, me who wrote the fic where the lord of imladris bends said twink over his writing desk and gives him the battering ram treatment in order to avoid being wrongly flagged for plagiarism, you would be absolutely correct.

(yes they published the book)

Gandalf took as long as Eowyn and Arwen combined, but what a great result! I used glow in the dark thread to attach cut crystal beads to his staff, so it sparkles in light or darkness.

Cozy farming sim but with realistic crop growth times. Just. Just fucking ruin everyone's day with the endless patience required.

it is legit bizarre to me how hard video game creators and film directors and showrunners try to pretend that fat people don't exist. can you think of the last time you saw a fat person in a lead role? god forbid a fat woman? i can walk down the street or go into a shop or restaurant and see fat people everywhere but then i switch on the tv and suddenly it's like a glimpse into an alternate universe where no one has a bmi over 24. insidious and weird

Wen Kexing looked at him. It was if he suddenly didn’t know where to start; after a long while, he finally began, “I…when I was ten or so years old, a half-grown child myself, I took A-Xiang in. I knew her father and mother–they had died, and she was too young then, swaddled in blankets. Her mother had hidden her somewhere; their enemies had not noticed her, and she managed to escape with her life.”

Cao Weining didn’t even dare to make a single noise, listening on with an expression near pious.

Wen Kexing continued, “She’s actually not my maidservant…although we address each other like master and servant, I have never treated that lass as an outsider–she is like my own little sister.”

He smiled, paused, then added, “If I were to feign some seniority–I watched her grow up, so she is a little like my daughter. The place we stayed in when we were younger is not somewhere meant for humans to live in. I was a child too and stumbled many times over the course of raising her. I burnt her mouth the first time I fed her congee–for A-Xiang to survive until now, it wasn’t easy on me, but in truth…it wasn’t easy on her too.”
