Map of Most of British Isles made by where people live.

by cavedave:

Map of England and Wales yesterday at https://www.reddit.com/r/britpics/comments/b0nr60/map_of_england_and_wales_just_made_by_where/

People asked me to try get the Scotland in. I missed the top as up there is so sparsely populated the computer freaks out trying to draw it.

Island of Ireland version at https://www.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/b0982v/the_population_density_of_ireland_oc/

Data from https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata/reference-data/population-distribution-demography/geostat

population grid at a 1km^2 size from 2011

Code is r package (and slightly modified) from https://gist.github.com/halhen/659780120accd82e043986c8b57deae0

This is what British Isles looks like if you only use the people in each square KM to make the map. That is why there are blank bits usually where mountains or lakes are.

I am taking the definition of the British Isles here https://www.britannica.com/story/whats-the-difference-between-great-britain-and-the-united-kingdom

But I accept the whole naming is arguable.

Think at least some cis lesbians or possibly even cis hets m or f supergirl fans may want to make content for Kara x Nia (/Nia x anyone) but don’t know how to do it with Nia being trans - not wanting to mess it up, not knowing how to address that with sensitivity and authenticity without knowing the experience. With Nia x Kara it’s ultimately two women loving women but Nia being trans is still part of how she relates romantically to anyone and want to see content that reflects it realistically

So, ask us.  Talk to us.  Get our help.  Seriously, we are right here.  If you’re afraid of fucking it up, write the story, and then get a trans first reader to help you out.  If people can go out of their way to find a Brit to britpic their Harry Potter fic, they can find a trans woman to check their Nia/Kara fic.

why does Taron in that Britpic look like every white gay guy i know from high school and college? Has he always been that generic looking?

Ahhhhhh don’t hate on my boy Taron 🥺🥲

Preemptive Britpic : there is no such thing as a dinner roll.

Have a Britpic as proof. I also recently was given some new sheets that are very purple... i love them.

I am... better today. Thats not to say that it won't start acting up again here in five minutes or something, but I got up. Actually took a shower. Took the kids to grab food from a drive thru, and hugged them and my dog. I talked to a friend, and my mom, and now that I'm all squeaky clean and smell nice and put on clean clothes that involve real pants, I feel a little better. A little more like staying... i still don't know what the future holds. But for this moment, I feel like i can do this.

This 40s period piece tootles picturesquely along like a cold war, heterosexual version of The Imitation Game, the biopic of wartime codebreaker Alan Turing. There is the same prestige Britpic furniture: clipped vowels, kindly officer-class boffins, sexy smoulderers, brilliant…

Same goes for professional female playersI feel like the replies are important because many of them add to these so...

I want to read this in more detail but lmao at the random Kenshin inclusion.

My anime viewing in college had long-lasting effects on my sense of humor

If by "hair straightener" they meant flat iron, then you actually can curl hair with it. Half blew my mind when I first learned how. :)

Like, I know it can be done, but it’s specialized knowledge. If your fic is just saying “She picked up the hair straightener and curled her hair” you should probably be using the words “curling iron” instead. Otherwise you’ll get readers going “wait, she did what?” and it just yanks them out of the story.

Omg and American characters calling their mom mum.... My mom is Canadian and says mum, yet neither I nor my four siblings do. She casually tries to get my son to call me mum... Don't like it

Yes, “mum” is another one. Another britpic that no one notices until it’s too late? Paracetamol. No one in the states calls it that. Most people call it Tylenol, even if it’s generic. Some people will specify acetameinophen if they’re huge nerds.

Re: Baby. PREACH! She also doesn't have 3-point safety belts. Standard for that year would have been lap only. Not that they use any type of belt at all when driving her...

The late 60s were a wild time for car safety. 

My Fanfic Nitpick Grief Post

These are not from any one fic and I am not calling out any authors. None of these are actually relevant to the actual story. They’re all mostly background noise that the author provided that was, well, wrong. I’ll post this when I get to 15 or so 11.

1. You cannot curl hair with a hair straightener. Not without some serious talent (that needs to be explained.) You want a curling iron

2. Football helmets have face masks. Players cannot kiss each other while wearing those helmets. 

2a. Hockey players can totally make out, though. Well, NHL. Probably not high school. Do your research. 

3. White wine is not actually white. It is yellow/gold. It is not milk. 

4. Boston gets a lot of snow. The city does not shut down with just a couple of inches. 

5. Have someone proofread your teaser/summary. Especially if you have someone proofing the whole story. Get them to pay special attention to the thing you’re using the draw people in to reading your story.

6. “Ugh” is a sound of disgust. It is not a filler sound, like “uh” or “um.”

7. A Beretta is a handgun. It does not have a shoulder strap. You cannot sling it over your shoulder to free up your hands. 

7a. A Gatling gun is a Civil War-era, hand-cranked, rapid fire big gun on wheels. A Tommy gun is a Prohibition-era, hand-held submachine gun. Compare and contrast my two favorite uses of these:

Gat-ling-gun!

Dean, yes. 

8. SPN specific: Baby is an automatic, not manual. No one shifts gears while driving her. Don’t even mention a clutch. And she does not have bucket seats. 

9. New Yorkers are such snobs about pizza that, if they are in the NY metropolitan area, they are probably not going to willingly order from a chain without apologizing for it. If they secretly love Dominos or Pizza Hut, it is their hidden shame. It’s both ridiculous and totally understandable because New York pizza is amazing. It’s centered around NYC, so it extends to Connecticut, Long Island, northern New Jersey, and Westchester county. Upstate NY is a different story.

10. Men typically gain weight in different body areas than women, and verbalize their worry about gaining weight differently. You’re not going to read about a man worrying about his thighs getting fat, unless there are other very good reasons. 

11. Britpick! I know britpicking a fic is a thing but here’s one that gets overlooked, apparently: “taking the piss” is not a phrase an American will casually use. I’ve seen it used in fics and I really have no idea what it’s supposed to mean because it’s contextually wobbly. So if you’re writing American characters, just don’t have them use this phrase. Please.
