everyone on youtube is fucking stupid btw

this is a DEMO of the game, the UNFINISHED VERSION of the game (as, shockingly, demos are)

do these people just like?? expect demo's to be polished and finished like a full game????

obviously if the game was fully released and it was this buggy yeah that'd warrant this many complaints but it's NOT OUT

This is literally how it feels scrolling thru videos talking about how shit this game is when its not even fucking out yet

im thinking about changing my Pandora hc to that she's an Ollivander

i saw it floating around the fandom a few years ago and idk it just makes sense for someone who loves experimenting with spells to come from a family of wand makers

“What if society placed the idea of love and romance , “the one”, special someone, a significant other, a soulmate, your spiritual double, the beloved one was revolved on friend instead of a partner?”

on fics and commenting

I love rambling in the author's comments. if you're writing on tumblr i'll be in your notes, if you're writing on twitter im in your quotes, and if you're writing on AO3 you best believe im rolling around in your comments section.

I just love fics so much. I love reading all the different universes an author can write our favourite blorbos in.

I'm usually the kind that writes huge comments that pick up dialogues and a lot of capslock screaming. and sometimes i'm like. going feral cus i can't actually get my brain to work enough for that and all i end up writing is "mmm delcious" with lots of screaming on the side

some of the best fictional work i've ever read has come from an author writing fanfiction. some of the best smut i've read has also come from there

Writer friends y'all are absolutely amazing.

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.

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

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.

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.

When I was a kid one of my moms would call her period "moon time" or "her monthlies" or shit like that and my other mom straight up stealthed it, but when I'm a dad I think I'm gonna go straight down the middle and call it Werewolf Week. Like sorry kids, dad can't roughouse right now, it's Werewolf Week

If Pikachu were real, it would not be a very pleasant animal. An enormous mouse that shocks you like an electric eel. I would run from these beasts

Funny things I found out playing with language setting in Netflix while looking episode 15:

Chilchuck's scream sounds HAUNTED in brazilian portuguese. Give it a try if you can.

(You can hear it here)

In spanish dub, Senshi says: "tocó mis senos de hombre", which means "he touched my man boobs" in Spanish. And I think that's the best dub line one so far.

not to sound like a boomer, but I need some people to learn how to write emails in a semi-professional (at the very least) format so you're not cold emailing a business/potential employer/any other stranger about formal matters in the exact same way you'd DM a close friend on instagram

the formality/language can loosen up in the email chain once you've established a rapport and you match the other person if they're being less formal, but please don't have the very first email you send a stranger be written in all lowercase ultra-casual sms slang with no greeting or signature and a billion emojis
