Every few years or so I go "ooooh they added what to minecraft?" and then reinstall it, start a server in which I immediately get lost after I build a first house, build a second one, adopt at least one pet and then lose everything while exploring because I have no idea how the new stuff added since I last played works. I may drop into a friends' server, build a thing or two using the materials they collected and stop playing. Rince and repeat. So of course I saw a few things about recent updates, got excited and installed it again. Thinking myself smart, I went "no no I'll just do it in CREATIVE, no dying I can see the new stuff safely ! I will learn so much !" ... You know what I learned? It turns out that while yes I can use the pretty blocks to build cute stuff, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MOST OF WHAT I USE IS NOR HOW TO GET IT NORMALLY. I checked and last time I kinda knew how the game works they were teasing the parrots. IN 2017. I BARELY KNOW WHAT THE GREY GUYS IN THEIR TOWER DO (I remember they're bad but don't remember their behaviors). THERE ARE SO MANY COLORS. SO MANY WOODS. FROGLIGHTS ??? WHAT EVEN ARE HALF THOSE BLOCKS ???? HOW DO I GET THEM IN SURVIVAL ??????? I will die so many death if I don't give myself god powers, this is a terrifying world of new possibilities I didn't foresee.

idk man but something about Stanley "taught himself extremely advance physics/math/probably many other things while running a relatively successful business" Pines and Stanford "is wanted in almost every dimension with a judicial system of some kind" Pines is sooo fucking funny to me

favorite photo of all time not even joking

Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying "I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store." The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen's face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.

south africa was banned in the olympics in 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988 & 1992. a total of 8 times. for 28 years they didn't set foot in the olympics. you know why? apartheid. apparently the olympics disagreed with the apartheid regime in south africa. russia & belarus aren't allowed to take part in the olympics this year. you know why? because of their involvement in the war in ukraine. several countries throughout history haven't been allowed to participate in the olympics because of various reason from their involvement in war to human rights abuses. now if the olympics aren't blind to all that... why in the world are they blind to what israel has been doing to gaza for the past 10 months? why is a genocidal apartheid nation allowed to participate in the olympics when any other country in its place would've been banned?

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

My biggest tip for fanfic writers is this: if you get a character's mannerisms and speech pattern down, you can make them do pretty much whatever you want and it'll feel in character.

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

Worry less about whether a character would do something, and more about how they'd sound while doing it.

Here’s my take on the whole audio books vs. reading:

Oral tradition of storytelling predates written ones by millennias, and honestly, which one you like is just a personal preference.

The actual difference is

when listening, you have no idea how to write characters’ names

when reading, you have no idea how to pronounce characters’ names

hope this helps!
