I can say without a hint of irony that this dumpster fire of a photoshoot will be the last time I shoot group photos
There's a good reason that I pretty much shoot everything but people. Plants and animals don't complain that their shirt has a wrinkle or one of them wasn't looking the right direction or their smile isn't full enough or their hair is weird or the light isn't what they thought it would be (on a 100% overcast rainy day! Which I already warned them would be difficult weather for what they wanted!) or there's a branch near their face or one of them kept moving or someone was frowning or somehow each different person pulled a weird face in almost every separate shot and they all want a re-shoot of the entire photoshoot because THEY weren't taking the first one seriously enough despite it going on a full-page ad that is going to be distributed to 2 entire counties and possibly online 🙄.
I also want to note for the record that I wasn't actually *asked* to do this photoshoot (I was unwillingly volunteered by someone else) and the person who wanted it done apparently had a somewhat clear vision that they never shared with me about how they wanted to do it, waited til the last three days of the deadline to actually start organizing the group and even then it was only after I said that we'd better get on it if they wanted it done (like, were you waiting for me to organize it? Bc that wasn't discussed when this was first mentioned almost 2 months ago). And now everyone's complaining that they didn't look perfect and they didn't think it was very representative of the group (ironic bc it very very VERY much IS, actually) and they aren't happy with the results and I keep getting asked to do vastly different things during editing and no one can decide on which image they want to use or if they want me to edit it or have the magazine work their magic on it or if we should just do a full re-shoot because no one looks their best and I'm like [shrug emoji]
Honestly if you wanted magazine ready results then you should have done just about every single step of this a little differently, up to and including forcing a *nature photographer* to take a group portrait against their will 😏
#it's like people see that I take pictures good and automatically assume that I do portraiture too#and I always want to ask them “do you SEE any people in my pictures (besides random candids)???”#no. no you don't.#and there's a reason for that#people are far pickier yet somehow far less cooperative than everything else I shoot

btw the majority of your life will be lived as a adult. yeah i don't make the rules. go have fun in your 40s or 70s or whatever. no one expects you to accomplish everything at 17 or 27. you've got time and in the meantime get some life experience, it will pay off

I need to run a survey really quick. This isn't serious, but I need people to cooperate and not cheat for the sake of it because it'll skew the results.
Imagine you wake up tomorrow and you realize you (and everyone else in the world) can turn into an animal (And back into a human) at will.
Please go to this link to see what animal it will be for you:
(this is random, and yes, you only get one, no redos)
With this in mind, please reply to the following questions as truthfully as possible based on your current situation. (Not an ideal fantasy one.)

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.
#like majority of the time kids are not just 'being naughty'. they have big feelings inside little bodies it's a lot#also like.#it should be illegal to dye your hair fun colours if you aren't prepared for kids in public to ask if youre related to a my little pony#EDIT: the notes on this post are an absolute cesspool. i don't care about your reasons for hating kids you sound like a disney villain

wait do people read first person stories and think they're the ones in the story???
Saw people talking about not liking first person, which is fair, but their reasoning was like "I would not do that" and I don't understand that mindset.
First person stories are still about a character. A character making their own decisions. First person isn't about you???? At least I thought it wasn't. What am I missing? I've always seen first person as just a more in-depth look into a character's mind and stricter POV. Not as a reader stand-in.
#reading#writing#writblr#writeblr#isn't second person the one more likely to be projection#because it's involving you in the story#unless it's told in a more artistic way#like dislike a pov style if you want idc#I just don't understand this specific reason

u ever see someone with extremely fucked up views (or actions) and think wowww if a couple of things in my life went the tiniest bit differently that would have been me
#iso.txt#i feel like i have the right kind of mindset to have been radicalised into some . not good things if i hadnt seen reason#like the right set of neuroses and stuff.#briefly i guess i was.#i honestly still sort of struggle sometimes to convince myself of some things i *know* i should believe i know are right. idk.

this is problematic of me (joke) but i really enjoy the splashing of french into english speech or writing. just adds a pizzazz
#im fetishing the french language#i mean this is not a new thing and the reasons probably have to do with a long held idea of france being particularly enlightened#or whatever kinda racist shit but it does sound pleasant nonetheless

So y’all know the classic edge trope of “my blade cannot be sheathed until it has tasted blood”? What if a magic sword that has that requirement, except it’s sort of inverted. A sword that, instead of being inhabited by an evil spirit which once awakened cannot be lulled back to sleep except by blood sacrifice, was inhabited by a benevolent spirit who would not allow the sword to be drawn unless bloodshed were the only possible solution. A sword whose power could never be misused because it would only allow itself to be used in situations where it was justified. What about a Paladin who spends their entire journey fighting with a sheathed sword, incapacitating but never killing or maiming. The party believes that the Paladin has taken an oath of no killing, until they face the big villain. And it is in that moment, and that moment alone, that the sword will allow itself to be drawn.
Idk, this image set my mindwheels a-turning.
But do y’all see the vision?
#story ideas#do not unsheathe me without reason#there’s something nice in the idea of power that does not corrupt#not through any virtue of the wielder#but because the power itself will not allow it
