In which Ford struggles so badly to relate to other people that he wonders if he’s really human at all. The more isolated he becomes, the harder it is to reconcile with his own humanity.

Omg your instagram story is so right! I can’t believe I’ve never even noticed that, probably because in fanon keith and shiro are so close that I’d forgotten that isn’t canon :0

Deserves this awesome quote which I had to dig out of my sideblog reblogs

How u gonna listen to metal, but get mad that it's metal

[apocalypticdemon]

I would say I have no explanation for this, but uh. I really do. Behold: the first ideas for a Terror IndyCar AU that has possessed me for the last 36 straight hours. It would not leave me alone until I put some of it to paper.

Behold: Crozier as an established, relatively liked, if cynical, driver, upstart rookie James Fitzjames, and Hickey, who is, as always, totally normal and not causing problems.

The art is rushed, but I needed to purge the demons as fast as I could

[mintandcreme]

you mentioned you were in your vpop era on a post, can you give me some recs? 👀

OMG?! I’m so grateful you asked because I’ve been wanting to talk about it to someone but haven’t got the chance. THANK YOU lol! I got kind of carried away though… :( so I’m super sorry about it. I translated the names and summarized the lyrics (or it was an attempt to cause they’re kinda off 🤡) so you can choose which ones interest you the most 😭

On the bright side, more options cause I’m not sure about your taste! (Some of these I don’t listen to though haha)! Ballads:

Phía Sau Mot Co Gai [Behind a Girl] - Soobin Hoàng Sơn - {Unrequited love, so he watches from afar and wishes he had known her sooner}

2. Giá Như Em Nhìn Lại [Pretend You Looked Back] - JSOL - {Regret towards a past relationship - wish he had known the outcome}

3. Đủ Xa Tình Sẽ Cũ [When Far Away Enough, Love Will Get Old] - JSOL (My favorite song right now) - {Waiting for someone who never comes}

4. Không Thể Cùng Nhau Suốt Kiếp [Can’t Be Together Forever] - Hoa Minzy (my favorite version is with Hoa Minzy, Duc Phuc, and Erik for the high notes, but the more heartbreaking version is the one with Hoa Minzy and Mr. Siro) - {Is heartbroken and wonders why they broke up}

5. Đợi đến tháng 13 [Wait Until The 13th Month] - Vu Thịnh - {Relationship ended yet still waiting for something impossible}

6. Anh Cứ Đi Đi [Just Go] - Hari Won - {Guy cheats, girl tells him to leave because he cheated, and cause she wants to see him happy 💀}

Cute??? Songs:

Hiếm Có Khó Tìm [Rare and Hard to Find] - JSOL, Han Sara - {You’re the one I’ve been looking for}

2. Trên Tình Bạn Dưới Tỉnh Yêu [Above Friendship, Below Lovers] - MIN - {Platonic love}

3. Đẹp Nhất Là Em [Prettiest is You] - Soobin Hoang Son, Jiyeon (There’s a Korean version and I think the lyrics are different) - {Girl is insecure and guy reassures her that she’s pretty and he loves her inside out}

4. Ngày Đẹp Trời Để Nói Chia Tay [A Pretty Day to Break Up] - Lou Hoang - {I think they fell out of love and he’s at her wedding and they’re both trying not to cry? I don’t really know 😭}

5. Từng quen [Used To Know] - Wren Evans - {Wondering if one regrets the past relationship? Translation in wonky lol}

Chill Songs:

vaicaunoicokhiennguoithaydoi [A Few Words Can Change People ] - GREYD, tlinh - {Think before you speak cause they can hurt a relationship :D}

2. Nen Yeu Hay Khong Nen [Should I Love You Or Not] - JSOL (on the verge of sad, but I think it’s chill) 💀- {Guy decides if he should confess cause he think if he does, it’ll ruin their friendship (guess what he chooses 🤡)}

3. Het Yêu Thật Sâu (Let Me Love You) [Did We Truly Fall Out Of Love (Let Me Love You)] - JSOL - {No one will ever love you like I do}

4. Từng Là [Used to Be] - Vu Cat Tuong - {Used to be lovers}

Side note: “Anh Trai Say Hi,” has a LOT of songs lol that got me into Vpop, and is the only survival show I’ll watch fully because all the contestants are pretty much established musicians, so when they get disqualified, you still get updated on their stats and get new music later (probably lol)! If you’re interested in some songs, here are two! 1. SAO HẠNG A [Class A Star] - {A celebrity falls in love and is absolutely enamored}

2. NGÁO NGƠ [Fool] - {Even though broke up, realizes still a fool for her and wants her back. Girl’s like nah, forget me}

I keep coming up with these vivid story ideas, not having time to write them, and then wanting to read/share/talk about them and forgetting that I haven't written them yet.

Hey, do you got doctors appointments you need to schedule but haven’t for whatever dumb reason (for me, laziness. probably. no no, complacency. That sounds better)? Well, go do it! Now! or soon! You need to just hurry up and schedule that shit! I’m sorry! Make the call! You gotta! You’re probably gonna have to wait multiple weeks for the appointment anyway, so if you wait until the problem is really bad, then you’re just condemning yourself to waiting extra long to get checked out. Jeez!

It's interesting to stroll around Fanlore reading discussions that took place in 2007 talking about the fractured nature of fandom on LJ and people interacting without having enough context (as in commenting on a post they did not read by a user they do not know) when you're living in 2023 and people distribute likes without reading anything or commenting; when there's supposedly "drama" of unknown origins happening in more than one website at the same time because there's no real "home base" for fandom activity anymore; and we're all carrying on with our lives reblogging things without even looking at previous notes and reactions to that same post even if out of simple curiosity...

Is the crack just a side effect of the labryinth not being properly maintained, or is it the Minotaur's life work?

12 Red Herrings to Keep Your Readers Distracted

I’ve seen mystery/thriller authors use the same handful of red herrings too many times to count. So here are some (hopefully not as common) red herrings for your writing. 

1. The Unreliable Narrator's Bias

Your narrator can play favourites and scheme and twist the way your readers interpret the story. Use this to your advantage! A character portrayed as untrustworthy can really be someone innocent the narrator framed, vice versa. 

2. The Loyal Traitor

A character with a history of betrayal or questionable loyalty is an obvious suspect. They did it once, they could do it again, right? Wrong! They’ve actually changed and the real traitor is someone you trusted. 

3. The Conflicted Expert

An expert—like a detective, scientist, or historian—analyses a piece of evidence. They’re ultimately wrong, either due to bias, missing data, or pressure to provide quick answers.

4. The Overly Competent Ally

You know that one sidekick or ally who’s somehow always ahead of the curve? They’re just really knowledgeable, your characters know this, but it makes it hard to trust them. Perfection is suspicious! But in this case, they’re actually just perfect. 

5. The Misleading Emotional Clue

Maybe one of your characters is seen crying, angry, or suspiciously happy after xyz event. Characters suspect them, but turns out they’re just having a personal issue. (People have lives outside of yours MC smh). Or it could be a cover-up. 

6. A Misleading Alibi

At first this character’s alibi seems perfect but once the protag digs into it, it has a major hole/lie. Maybe they were in a different location or the person they claimed to be with was out of town. 

7. The Odd Pattern

Have a seemingly significant pattern—symbols left at crime scenes, items stolen in a specific order, crimes on specific dates. Then make it deliberately planted to mislead.

8. The Misinterpreted Relationship

A character was secretly close to a victim/suspect, making them a suspect. Turns out they were hiding a completely unrelated secret; an affair, hidden family connection, etc.

9. A Forgotten Grudge

Create a grudge or past feud and use it to cast suspicion on an innocent character. Introducing an aspect of their past also helps flesh out their character and dynamics as a group + plant distrust. 

10. The Faked Death

Luke Castellan, need I say more (I will)? A supposedly innocent character dies, but turns out they faked it and were never a victim in the first place. They just needed to be out of the picture. 

11. The Mistaken Eavesdropper 

A character overhears a threat, argument, etc. They suspect B based on this convo, but turns out they just came to a false conclusion. (Or did they?)

12. The Forgetful Alibi 

Someone confesses to hearing/seeing a clue, but turns out they were mistaken. Maybe they thought they heard a certain ringtone, or saw xyz which C always wears, but their memory was faulty or influenced by stress.

ranting abt my Life and Thiughts.. tw for taylor swift mention in the tags

guys. im a human 22 year old. i miss my ex boyfriend a little bit lately. even though he never committed to it, the way that he liked me is exactly how i wanted to be liked. he blurted out when he thought i looked hot or pretty. he brought me redbull slushies from sonic without me asking. he would laugh at my joke before telling me it wasnt that funny. he said i glowed. if given the choice between something easy with people who sucked or a job that sucked with me, he was with me. super touchy. and part of me is like “why did he randomly appear in my dream and now im missing him. did he dream of me/is he thinking of me/missing me” but when i try to say “get a grip you know thats not true” that makes me sad.. its probably just my period. just cus he was my first boyfriend. cus its almost camp season. cus my crush doesnt like me back. whatever. it just sucks.
