i love when words fit right. seize was always supposed to be that word, and so was jester. tuesday isn't quite right but thursday should be thursday, that's a good word for it. daisy has the perfect shape to it, almost like you're laughing when you say it; and tulip is correct most of the time. while keynote is fun to say, it's super wrong - i think they have to change the label for that one. but fox is spot-on.
most words are just, like, good enough, even if what they are describing is lovely. the night sky is a fine term for it but it isn't perfect the way november is the correct term for that month.
it's not just in english because in spanish the phrase eso si que es is correct, it should be that. sometimes other languages are also better than the english words, like how blue is sloped too far downwards but azul is perfect and hangs in the air like glitter. while butterfly is sweet, i think probably papillion is more correct, although for some butterflies féileacán is much better. year is fine but bliain is better. sometimes multiple languages got it right though, like how jueves and Πέμπτη are also the right names for thursday. maybe we as a species are just really good at naming thursdays.
and if we were really bored and had a moment and a picnic to split we could all sit down for a moment and sort out all the words that exist and find all the perfect words in every language. i would show you that while i like the word tree (it makes you smile to say it), i think arbor is correct. you could teach me from your language what words fit the right way, and that would be very exciting (exciting is not correct, it's just fine).
i think probably this is what was happening at the tower of babel, before the languages all got shifted across the world and smudged by the hand of god. by the way, hand isn't quite right, but i do like that the word god is only 3 letters, and that it is shaped like it is reflecting into itself, and that it kind of makes your mouth move into an echoing chapel when you cluck it. but the word god could also fit really well with a coathanger, and i can't explain that. i think donut has (weirdly) the same shape as a toothbrush, but we really got bagel right and i am really grateful for that.
grateful is close, but not like thunder. hopefully one day i am going to figure out how to shape the way i love my friends into a little ceramic (ceramic is very good, almost perfect) pot and when they hold it they can feel the weight of my care for them. they can put a plant in there. maybe a daisy.
#warm up#writeblr.#i am not going to personally comment on the pineapple debate#some things are too big for me.#maybe we could have everything on earth choose their own names.#wouldn't that be fun#it is a creative writing exercise. okay. ily#''why only these languages?'' ..... bc i dont know every language#sorry :(#PLEASE leave me comments about what words u think are correct. i love learning them#btw! this isn't saying these are the most BEAUTIFUL words for it... just the words that are the most CORRECT#like i quite like the word ''keynote'' as mentioned. it's got a lot of fun sounds in it.#but it is not CORRECT.#''gloaming''' is interesting and fun and poetic but it is NOT correct . evening is MORE correct#but less beautiful.#does that make sense?

The earth shattering realization the game you have played is the only one like it, there is no other game, there isn't a world like it and you are cursed with that knowledge and abandonment for it, you are happier to have known and experienced the joys of playing, have come out wiser for it, but you'll never get anything like it again.
#disco elysium#i was a teenage exocolonist#hollow knight#quite frankly it comes mostly with sim games and interactive narratives#video games#gaming#ramblings ramblings#and this is not me saying “I NEED a sequel” because no#the quality of these games do not come from the potential of a sequel#i love playing games that are just isolated stories#i just wish other games with different stories could experiment with that gameplay because i enjoyed yknow?#the tragedy of being unique is you'll never see a mirror in the wild#oh well the curse of having to make your own stuff#put that creative degree to use am i right

"If the structure of your world ever evaporates, I will still be here."
I think The Q might contain one of the greatest declarations of friendship/love ever.
#books#the q#beth brower#this seems clunkier out of context but trust me in context it's very moving#they're discussing how quincy's entire world is wrapped up in work#so even if she likes the people there if the business somehow disappeared she probably wouldn't see them again#because they all have other family/friends to go to and she doesn't really have any#leading to this promise#and let me tell you it's just about enough to make me believe in found family#because this works as a romantic or platonic declaration#it's a promise#a commitment to provide safety and stability when there's nowhere else to go#and i love it#this book is so odd because i liked it quite a bit last year#then rereading i was at first like 'why did i like this at all?'#there's no scene-setting or character description it's just kind of stuff there#but then the relationship starts to develop and i am SO invested#under normal rules it shouldn't take 100 pages for the story to get good but in this case it's worth it#it's such an odd structure#each chapter is almost like its own little short story#or a character sketch#almost like the character have stopped to discuss their own character worksheet#but in context it somehow works#and it drives home how much traditional publishing and writing rules stifle creativity#because your average editor would look at this and try to smooth it over#make it all into one flowing narrative#and it would lose so much of what makes it unique and compelling#following the rules of 'good writing' robs you of all the stories that don't follow those rules#there is so much scope outside of the one 'best practice' that is currently in fashion#and those stories need to get told too!

oh my god this is atrocious (CW: Gen AI)
YouTube added this weird ass tab to YouTube Studio that uses Gen AI to make """"Inspiration"""" for you based on your previous videos however... I make a wide variety of stuff over several fandoms, notably pjsk and Castoff so YouTube thinks that this
is a viable option for me
I hope they realize that 1. Castoff is not an anime (as much as I want it to have a show adaptation) 2. how is this medium interest. i don't know how many people are muti fandom in Castoff and pjsk but it's definitely not enough for "medium interest" uh oh!!! it gets WORSE
first of all, fuck you for saying that Castoff content is "very low interest" i have you know that it's an amazing comic that, if given the exposure by YOU, would be extremely popular second of all, there's so much fucking wrong with what you're trying to say - Castoff is not a song. not at all. not even close. - "Arianna Thinks" is not a youtube channel. That's taken from a title for an animation I made - these thumbnails are ass. i would never click on these in my life. why would you think that anyone in the Castoff fandom would click on ai slop. this is content farm type stuff. GOD I am so angry that YouTube encourages people to make AI slop I just hope that one day it just explodes and we can all live together gayly
#sorry about the long post#you may or may not tell that i am very passionate about shit like this#it sucks#quite plainly#and i will never shut up about it#because normalizing this will cause the end#of creativity#of emotion#and actually making things you care about#i hope there still will be young beginner artist when i'm well into my senior years#cw: ai slop#vent#i hate ai#anti generative ai#fuck gen ai#youtube#castoff#pjsk#project sekai#vector castoff#asahina mafuyu#mafuyu pjsk#text

#i think i have very little faith in my writing capabilities#i am borderline convinced im not a very creative person#my most solid oc story is literally as tropey as possible on purpose with very little subversion#sorry this sounds quite negative#bunny's thoughts

i hope she doesn’t call again this year. i don’t think i have an answer for her this time. i haven’t felt this way since high school. where the bleakness and blankness of the gray cloud-only sky feels the same inside as it does outside. there are more gloomy-looking women on campus than i swear i usually notice. girls i went to church with are celebrating. i’ve written a sticky note i’m keeping in a drawer in my desk. it has my computer pin and says “i have a folder of poetry. please don’t let my work die.” i can’t tell if it’s preemptive or if it counts as a letter. i can’t tell if it’ll even be possible in my time anymore. i can’t tell if my family cares. i almost puked and sobbed all morning and got up and went to class fifteen minutes after. the world keeps spinning. it wants to keep spinning without me and i know it. it’s gotten harder to ignore and now it’ll be almost impossible. i think about writing the same note to keep in all my pockets and bags. “i have a folder of poetry. don’t let my work die. tell [my ex] i still loved her and that i hope she gets to study and work in another country. dad, i’m sorry i was anything but your son.” i don’t know if i’m prophetic or anxious and paranoid. i think i should seal my mouth shut sometimes. my love, i don’t know if we’ve met yet, but you have to stay alive. you have to live; we’re meant to get married and live our silly little dreams in the city, fantasizing about running off the grid to live in a cabin in the woods away from everything. i want to scribble the note in every notebook i have. “i have a folder of poetry. don’t let my work die. hot take: i’ve always loved the times new roman font. i love my dogs but i’ve always wanted a cat. if i ever got a girl i’d name her something like jessy, bumble, or medusa. if i ever got a boy i’d name him colby, full name colby jack, government name colby jack, like the cheese.” i can’t tell if it’s prophetic or preemptive. in case you were never told: i’m a gay woman. i’m an asexual non-man. the greatest thing to happen to me personally was figure out that lesbian works as a gender identifier, too. you should know by now. i wonder what my mother would say. about this. about me. the world will know. i am not quiet, as everyone who’s ever met me has unfortunately discovered. another day, another step i refuse to concede. but i have a sticky note folded up in my phone case. it has my computer pin and reads “i have a folder of poetry. please don’t let my work die.”
— 11/6
#emergency poem time babey!! i refuse to roll over and die but i am still terrified of dying for this of all things#when i said i wanted to write the q 2 this isn’t what i had in mind but MAN that queer fear is quite an emulator#anyway this convinced me to go back and pick up my wips just in case 💀#the patron saint of asexual poets#poetry#poems#poem#original poems#original poetry#original poem#original poets on tumblr#original writing#creative writing#poets on tumblr#writers on tumblr#lgbtq poem#lgbtq poetry#lgbtq poet#lgbtq poems

4 on the angst list with Araleyn please I need them to suffer
4 : "but it's my fault, right?" (prompt list here)
#<blinks> very gently implied angst i suppose. usually everyone makes anne suffer so for a change#here's catherine struggling with the idea that if she hadn't been so stubborn about divorce-#maybe it would have been more okay for henry to divorce anne instead of. yknow. chopping her head off.#gently implied angst with the. well. i hurt this person i care about. unintentionally. but still. hence also the historical counterparts bg#... i feel like this isn't suffering (italicised for emphasis) but unfortunately? i am in a more melancholy mood#and also coming to conclusion that whump isnt really my taste.. so quite literally you'd have to pay me to draw it .. dfdsghjkl comms open#anyways yeah i think the most you'll get from my own stuff is <reference to beheading> <mentioned death> <abstract reds that might be blood#six the musical#six the musical fanart#anne boleyn#catherine of aragon#oh that got off tangent. but also tldr; requests mean free art!! (also idm if you ask for specific things. like your own aus. just to put#that out there)#but also requests: 1. up to my creative freedom and discretion so you probs won't get exactly what you want + 2. no time limit so#can take literal years to reply to.#so ig ? if you have specific things in mind. that you want me to draw. commissions would be better for you if you'll pay!#but if you don't have the money i'm also. lowkey willing to draw for free.. stick it in the inbox .. there's just no guarantee you'll get i#within the next year.. or at all! but you may as well try your luck o.O#(this plan is terrible for business but because for a very long time i was unable to buy anything online. i sympathise greatly ig)

PLAYABLE ZELDA PLAYABLE ZELDA PLAYABLE ZELDA PLAYABLE ZELDA PLAYABLE ZELDA PLAYABLE ZELDA PLAYABLE ZELDA *inhale* PLAYABLE ZELDA PLAYABLE Z
#zelda#echoes of wisdom#I still can't quite believe it's finally happening tbh! took ya long enough nintendo#anyway how are you!! sorry for the radio silence lately haha#my 7-year-old computer actually chose the week I was trying to finish my piece for the magic book zine to give up the ghost entirely#(luckily I just barely managed to coax it into hanging in there until after the deadline haha!)#so all my drawing lately has been like... experimenting to figure out how to use the newer versions of everything#I am old gandalf. I know I don't look it but I'm beginning to feel it#had a really good time drawing this though! playing around with new ways to do the light effects made me positively GIDDY#and zelda's design! I've seen people saying the game's visual design looks too simple but imo that's actually a good thing?#because the simpler the canon art style is the more creative input we have in our own interpretations of it#medieval tailoring is my special interest so my take on it is very loosely based on like mid-late 14th-century kirtles#as far as I know they didn't really have split skirts or that shade of purple back then but eh it's fantasy haha#I wasn't super clear on how the cloak fastens so I based it on the one frodo wears at the start of lord of the rings. you know the one#the outer edges have tabs at the top that sort of cross over each other and attach with brooches to the shoulders#I guess it's kind of like how marth and lucina's cloaks work?#but anyway I shall see you anon! hopefully before the game actually comes out haha#only 98 sleeps to go though! ARE YOU EXCITED BECAUSE I AM

I discovered just how brainrotted I am today with one simple trick! This same whiplash-inducing scenario has repeated about a dozen times now:
#no just kidding criticism is good and i love getting it i am just continuously reminded of it and it makes me...#hard to describe. it makes my body go “!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” and its both a very anxious feeling and a giddy happy feeling#but it makes me feel like i could take flight just about now#never quite realised how much i think about. characters. before now because my mind goes back to that same thing#then again i am full of nervous energy in general these days... i am making a thing and it makes me very happy#ahh codddd anyway. anyway. im glad im getting out of my comfort zone. i dont want to be hanging out there forever#i dont want to live a life where i only wistfully wonder what people may say or think about things i put my creative passion into#i want to create and i want to share and i want to make something the best it could be! the absolute best version of it#i dont want to be so flight-y and secretive forever thats no fun >:O#my art#not fish

You HAVE to love the moment after your phone dies and you are left hunched over the screen, your eyes deprived of the blue light to which they have grown accustomed, your mind deprived of the distraction from the horrors of your reality, to behold your own image (reverse Narcissus) in all its double-chinned, acne-scarred, chocolate-stained and cheeto-dusted glory, and horrified by who you have become, and you are full of guilt and (remorse) exhaustion, and you are (entirely, devastatingly) alone, and you blink, and you get up, and you (cry) (look in the mirror?) go plug in your phone and get some more cheetos
No, really, you have to love it. It's the law.
#i dont know what compelled me to write this#but#to be clear#this isnt coming from the old mindset of “all technology is bad and everyone who uses social media is dumb”#because that isnt true and never has been#this is coming from somebody with the kind of mild screen addiction that most people have#who generally enjoys being creative and using entertainment platforms and interacting with people online#but who is also somewhat frustrated with my relationship with my phone#and very frustrated by the way social media and videogames and screens in general are thought of and talked about in the world#screen addiction#phone addiction#relatable#is this relatable?#does anyone feel like this?#im whispering into the void#self awareness#i dont know#i have so much work to do#and my executives are dysfunctioning#i am having a Bad Go of it#its just#its been quite a month#you know?#maybe ill make a ventpost#later tho#all ye who find my ramblings here#have a good day#or night#or else
