[Promised Prince AU] moment where Magalor gets his relationship revealed to Kirby and Bandee on accident, expecting them to be really against it and hate him, only for them to be super supportive. After all, both of them have seen their fair share of villain-redemptions and if Magalor trusts Oakley then they can do the same. Honestly, I think the majority of the cast either wouldn't care, wouldn't get the potential danger behind it OR are still supportive anyway.

This is semi-canon(?)

--TLDR--

Dedede says "I don't get it, but ok!"

Meta is trying not to judge while lore dropping

Bandadee is questioning the logic of everything

And Kirby is just happy for the Magolor ^w^

Google translate is so freaking weird. Like why is it that when I type Chinese, Google has no idea what the hell that word means. But if I set it to detect, every Chinese character I type automatically gets detected as Japanese??? And Google suddenly knows what the fuck I've been translating???? Like surely Google knows how the word 'kanji' is written right? Like how 'hanzi' is written the same??? Why can't we have AI where it really matters cuz it be so fucking annoying trying to search up a word and suddenly translating websites go "Idk what that word means so I'll just rewrite it in English and present you how we write it in English". Like yeah no shit bitch, it's how I typed the word in the first place 😒

can i tell yall something i hate when reading?

explaining real world culture too much

if i’m reading a book set in the south and the main character is african american and the author starts explaining bottle trees, miming in the church, or why you don’t put yo purse on the floor for a whole page, i close it

what is already understood doesn’t need to be explained…

unless you wrote this book tryna capture a whole nother demographic

that’s why i hate blackish cuz almost every episode we explaining shit

don’t market to black people then give us a book with a bunch of filler info😭 i know all this shit now just tell me how you finna use it to progress the story

if you must, put a glossary in the back for the non-AAs

like not once have i opened a piece of classic black literature and been preached to about my own culture

but honestly i think this is a symptom of trad publishing cuz we’re starting to get contemporary and modern black literature but a lot of it feels like they’re tryna get nonblack people into the book by explaining every little detail

and i can’t place all the blame cuz a lot of people won’t even pick up our writing if it doesn’t somehow cater to them a tiny bit

Olivier showing her new henchmen, Mona Lisa, around the Hidden City. When they were being cat called by the Mud Dogs.

Mona: Even here, los hombres siguen siendo puercos. I think we should just ignore them. *Mens are still pigs*

Olivier: Not to worry, I know how to handle these type. Excuse me, what’s all this noise?

Mona: Dios mio, she’s going to provoke them. *my god*

Loathsome Leonard: mmm baby, you and your friends are a whole lot of women? We know what you ladies need.

Rebel: I don’t think you’re the type of guy that can give it to us.

Mona: You too, Rebel.

Olivier: I do believe you guys need to apologize to us.

Dastardly Danny: Apologies, you ladies should take it as a compliment.

Olivier smirked: Just as I expected, do you like my nails?

Olivier grabbed Dastardly Danny balls before he could respond.

Mona: This diablo, will be the death of us.

Olivier: Oh silly me, I never caught your name?

Dastardly Danny out of breath: It’s Dastardly Danny!

Olivier: Well Dastardly Danny, I’m lady Olivier, this is Miss Mona and Miss Rebel. Now Danny, when you encounter such lovely ladies the correct way to greet them is to say “good afternoon, ladies.” Can you say that?

Dastardly Danny manhood was aggressively squeezed: Good afternoon, ladies.

Olivier: Unless of course it’s the evening, you said?

Dastardly Danny continues to be squeezed aggressively: Good evening, ladies.

Olivier: Good, now go home, take a bath, comb your hair, and please put on a clean outfit when you step outside your door. It’s an affront to the very delicacy of my nature. That goes for the rest of you lots. The next time you disrespect any ladies, you’ll have to deal with me in the Battle Nexus. Do you understand?

Loathsome Leonard and Malicious Mickey: Yes, Ma’am!

Olivier: Ladies, let us continue our tour.

Mona: This is going to be fun.

forever pissed that my most popular fic on ao3 EVER is literally written so badly 😭😭

not like in a thirteen year old who just learned to write fiction but doesn't quite grasp metaphor way. its BAD. the sentence structure is too awkward and there's a lot of overuse of bigger words and the phrasing is just. unnatural which i know bcuz i still do this now due to weird ocd compulsions but ITS BAAAAD please god why is it so popular. its barely even Legible. it actively pisses me off to read and there's still people telling me in the comments it changed their life...... Its Not Good

Uh guys, rule of thumbs, when you're writing something and you want to add some other place or culture in it and have to use words from a different language,

Do not use fucking google translate on terms and phrases you usually use because high chances are, that different language would have completely different words and phrases for the concept you try to imply and the words you ended up using has a different meaning than you want.

Please for heaven's sake get help from someone who actually speaks or at least knows that language

Me, stockpiling fix-it, (toothrotting) fluff, reincarnation, AU and afterlife fics when the book i’m reading is ending ( i already know how it’s gonna end (probably) because it’s based of off an epic story/mythology)
