one of my friends didn't like the story i wrote and with the kind of stuff i write i need to get used to it but i wasnt expecting it and so it kind of hurt and kind of has been hurting for the last month
#very strange#i mean i get that this story is a little loud with the symbolism#and the like#allegory#but like??? that's okay in art#i dont have to cater to everyone's ideas of what my art should look like#but in my head i have to#instead i need to like#print off the story#be proud and be finished#not worry about how tipsy this woman is#and just. own it? own that i wrote a good story? own that i wrote something i like? and not let other people get to me?#and like im not super subtle with it#but the point of the story isnt that its subtle#its that there's more things going on than just the basic allegory about sinners being forgiven by God#i dont know. i love this story so much#i just dont write like some people want me to write#i think that's okay#im struggling#sometimes basic truths can be accessible#and there can be other things you have to dig for#and there's so much going on in this story#like just because one person didnt like it#its still good#augh#human existence is tiring at times#imposter syndrome is a bitch

trying to give myself permission to write shorter replies this year bc otherwise i might never write any replies.
#don't get me wrong i'm still making an effort to give my partners#something they can work with for their next reply#but if i like#don't match length exactly#i think that's okay#tbd.#off questing.

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!
do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!
#i am so sick of writers having to anticipate the most boring#bad-faith readings of their work. i am like - if you use cheese as a currency#okay! as long as the world makes sense to me: cool. cheese tax. moving on.#my job as the reader is to suspend my disbelief and say okay! i am so sick of like#fanfiction authors having to write dissertations#because they had an interesting idea they'd like to try out!!!#just write it! if it doesn't make sense that's someone else's problem!!!#PS OP is autistic. yes sometimes i take things literally at first glance. then i think about it lol#this is so clearly not about accessibility etc. it's about like. girl even i an autistic person#am able to understand ''they probably didn't mean his eyes darkened LITERALLY''

ten years ago you were so scared of such different things, but you survived them anyway. the same goes for five years ago and two years ago. everything that has ever felt like a hurdle, you’ve passed through. so be afraid, identify your fears, and then allow yourself to remember that in just a little while, this will be another thing that you have overcome.
#fear is okay!#and so are you#i have two interviews next week for a 6month grad internship </3#free encouragement#self care#self love#positivity#positive#positive suggestions#positive thinking#suggestions#suggestion#comfort kindness family#self validation

The math just adds up!
#dungeon meshi#falin touden#marcille donato#farcille#I always loved how chapter 27 ends with them both so bloody and 28 starts with them in the bath.#not just because of how iconic the bathtub moment is but because you know they had to scrap off so much gore first.#I think everyone in the party took a very long and methodical bath but Falin was basically *all* blood*.#Being covered in blood is one of those 'just girly things' that women deserve to stop being shamed about.#I just don't think Chilchuck is progressive enough. He probably made them take a bath first B*/#Okay jestering aside I want to just highlight -#The magnitude of Marcille's joy at seeing her dearest friend again! Of holding her and sharing her presence in the same room!#Something about this reunion feels like a beautiful dream you are afraid of waking up from...

I may be a bass player but I'm not hitting on the percussionist. The Yuri is not doomed I assure you. There is no romantic tension between me and my percussionist whatsoever. We only kiss sometimes. Purely platonic.
#i need you to understand#im aroace#i do it cuz it takes the edge off#the percussionist might be into it though#i saw her blushing one time afterwards#i think that's okay#she knows my stance#and i don't mind all too much if she enjoys it#i just don't wanna lead her on or anything#that's the only reason why it's weird#trans girl#“no you see the bassist has to look at the drummer to lock in–” yeah sure how very convenient#bass player#bocchi the rock!#yamada ryo#ijichi nijika

why do you guys talk like you think not voting means no one gets elected
#atlas entry#you're all so stupid g-d bless#“I'm not voting for Trump OR Biden! They both suck!” okay well one of them is gonna be our future president no matter what#like get you think things can't get any worse under Trump than they already are. You're wrong and stupid but I get it#might as well vote against the guy who has Nazis sieg heiling at his rallies

can you believe that we have fanfiction. that we have websites dedicated to fanfiction. that there is a place that you can go and read tens, hundreds, thousands and thousands of pieces of writing that strangers have made. people who are not "writers". people who come home at the end of the day and have feelings and say, i am going to put that into words. i am going to share those words. short, long, sweet, sad, horny, funny, wonderful words. we are all just human and we all love to make and remake and share that with others. can you believe that.
#ao3#archive of our own#fanfiction#sometimes i can't even believe how much i myself have written. like i think i am not a writer. i am not doing enough. i do not write enough#and i look back and i have 34 (34!!) works on ao3 and reams of unpublished work on my computer and so long left to live. so i think#we will be okay.#writing

chappell roan’s got this sudden very huge burst of attention and since then she has
shown up to jimmy fallon in full drag
shown up to her concerts in even zainier outfits than before
worn a nun costume to one concert and when people were uncomfortable she was like good. toodles!
very clearly stated she will retreat from the public eye if she feels threatened by her fame
put very firm boundaries in place, not caring how that might make her look in today’s ass backward society that thinks artists owe everyone everything
she really is trying the hardest to do this in her own terms, in this industry that pretty much allows no wiggle room when it comes to being as big as she’s gotten. it’s clear to me she doesn’t care about maintaining the level of notoriety she has now, she cares about connecting to the subset of people who her art has always been aimed at and that is it. and i find it so admirable! it must be really hard to get what every artists out there is trying to and not let yourself get influenced by it, but she is remaining steadfastly herself. it’s so refreshing and it makes me like her so much more
#since she’s been so open about her bipolar diagnosis i do worry about her mental health#i’m glad she seems so secure in what she wants out of this. makes me think she’s going to be okay#chappell roan

Idk I feel like "Men are responsible for their own actions, women aren't to blame for men being misogynistic" and "You do not have to tolerate bigotry from others, call them out on that shit" and "People may be less likely to become radicalized if they receive kindness and compassion" don't have to contradict each other
#is misogyny okay? absolutely not. is misogyny the fault of women and/or feminism? also absolutely not#should we generally try to be kind to each other? yeah#shockingly enough i think multiple things can be true at the same time

in fics where luke gets plopped into the prequels i want every jedi within ten metres of him to think hes the weirdest jedi theyve ever seen. he has negative lightsaber form. he doesnt know what a kata is. he handstands when he meditates. his solution to sith is to try and have a chat. hes a political radical who keeps suggesting revolution. you ask him what the jedi code is and he says "kindness and compassion and helping those in need :) ". you ask how he used the force like that and he says some shit about how you are a luminous being limited only by your mind. the councils authority is just a suggestion. he is somehow the new favourite of both qui gon and yoda
#i think he Gets yoda in a way few do bc he knew him as a feral old man in a swamp and not Guy In Charge Of Everything#so he is yodas new best friend#and qui gon hears him talk for five mins and realises his ideal jedi is a real guy that exists#luke doesnt realise how much of a heretic he is okay he is a Luminous Being#luke skywalker#star wars prequels#stat wars original trilogy#sw originals#original trilogy#sw prequel trilogy#sw og trilogy#jedi order#star wars#sw#sw time travel fic#time travel au#the force#yoda#qui gon jinn#i think after a bit plo koon would also be a big fan#lee posts

I feel like if humans swallowed rocks like birds do to help grind up food we'd have so much fun with it.
Can just imagine all the girlies on tiktok going "I know this is a bit controversial but I honestly love using limestone as a gastrolith. Not only can you readily forage it but they are just so pretty when smoothed out after regurgitating them"
and then all the comments would be like " girl 😭 😭 calcite dissolves in stomach acid!! Just use quartz if you want a pretty gastrolith like 💀"
#hehe what would you use as gastrolith#would it be okay to use rose quartz that would be fun I think#I really wish people could swallow rocks#birds#ornithology#silly
