hi mickey! i'm going through major writer's block rn </3 so i'd like to ask, how do you finish your works? :3
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀i'm quite possibly THE worst person to ask this i'm afraid lmao unfortunately i work purely on bursts of motivation and energy so i work on whatever i want to work on at the moment which means i have a lot a lot a lot of unfinished stuff sadly
buuuuut one thing that does help me get more in the Zone is to listen to music!!!!! smth based on whatever you're writing at the moment yk? like i have a full folder of playlists specifically made for my bigger works and whenever i listen to them it helps me ground myself a little if that makes sense? helps me concentrate a bit more, helps me put myself in the situation. when i'm woking on my apocalypse au i put on a tlou gameplay vid as background noise and that too is a way for me to focus.
pinterest helps a lot aswell actually!!!!! i also have different folders for different au's and so sometimes i just stare at the pics and that helps too
aaaaaaand one more thing that helps me focus is to change the environment. like i often find it very hard to focus in my own room so lately i've been just using the living room as my little makeshift office and i feel like i'm way more productive there. i know some ppl want to get out of the house entirely and go to libraries or cafes yk?
aaaaaaaaaaaand lastly i feel like sometimes it's just good to step away overall. just take a break. i just shut off the computer and everything and then idk read or play video games or watch smth ooorr go for a walk. helps to clear my head. i can't pressure myself into writing at all and while i do think it's annoying, i don't think it's necessesarily a bad thing bc if i don't want to write, if i don't have words, if i'm just forcing them out.. it won't be good. i think all of my favourite pieces have been stuff that i've loved writing. and i mean i've loved the whole PROCESS of writing not just the outcome.
you have to have patience and you have to understand that there really is no rush. writing is supposed to be fun, or at least ENJOYABLE yk? i think my overall motto is just that you can't force anything. if it's not working out rn, it's not working out – but that doesn't mean it will NEVER work out. it's okay to take a break and do something else for a while. the piece won't go anywhere. oh and actually i do want to add that i have gotten way better ideas after i've taken some time off,, like i come back and it's like my brain has grown twice the size. so yeah. take breaks please. and don't rush it, don't force it. i love you<3333333
#writing can be VERY hard#but you kind of#have to have an open mind abt it#there's no other way to put it i think#it might sound stupid but yeah#having fun with it is the best way to go around#anyway this was such a wordvomit omfg i hope any of this makes any sense lmao#i love you nonnieee<33333333#and i believe in you!!!!!!!!!#you got this angel!!!!!!!#MWAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!#friends!!

Before I go to sleep I leave you all with this piece of advice: sometimes you don't actually have to answer big political questions, sometimes you can just say "I am not smart enough to know that, I just know the small things I do to help." Like you can often times completely avoid making a fool of yourself if you just say you don't know.
#simon says#to explain here and not in a reblog:#sometimes when you try to explain big picture solutions you're gonna sound dumb#you might not have done enough research#you might not have a rebuttal to a counter argument#you might not be articulate enough to explain why you think this#sometimes you gotta take a step back and give the simple solution. the one man solution#you do what you can to fight against the problem#you talk to people to help spread awareness and how to fight the bad problem#and you vote and invite others to vote for bigger steps towards solving the problem#like you can talk about theory and how you believe we need to do a huge drastic thing to solve and issue#but people will disagree and argue til you're blue in the face#they'll poke and prod until you mess up or lose your temper and use it against you#and you'll feel dumb and they'll learn nothing#sometimes the best thing to do is step away from the big picture and just say 'idk what the solution is I just know the things I can do“#sometimes you gotta admit you're not a scientist/expert and you can't answer that#i used this while talking with my Dad tonight#he brought up our climate crisis and space travel as a possible solution#and I said I think that's just addressing the symptom and not the cause and we need to care for our Earth now#and he asked me what solutions I think would fix it#and knowing my incredibly smart Dad who is articulate and ready to throw rebuttles at a moments notice to play devils advocate#and my past experience in struggling in this topic with him before#i just told him I didn't know. all i knew is the little things I can and do do to help#and that hopefully by spreading the word and habits and encouraging others to vote for those bigger solutions I could help make a change#but all I really could do is the little things I have control over#and the topic became much less stressful about the little things we have control over#like planting native plants and recycling and adopting habits that are healthier to our planet#which was 100% more preferable to if I tried to give a big solution. because I would reveal i didn't have all the knowledge needed to argue#and my articulation would make me sound like a stupid kid who only thinks they know what's best#so yeah I basically suggest that if you dont wanna feel like shit after debating someone just step away from the big picture for a moment

i feel bad for not giving sonic frontiers a real chance bc it seems cool n everything, but when i played it it held my hand like i've never fuckin seen before. i killed the first Guy and it gave me a pop-up that reminded me to pick up the item he dropped.thanks man i forgot i was playing a goddamn video game. i got so mad at that i exited the game and uninstalled it btw
#qktalks#which sounds like an overreaction i know but . i could just Tell it was going to hold my hand and Drag me the whole time#and i didn't wanna deal w that<3#that's such a stupid thing to remind the player abt too#yeah that shiny floating rotating thing on the ground?i was just gonna leave that there#do u think im 2 days old#i ...might have made a post like this before. i forgor#i tried to look for one like this on my blog but then i realized sonic frontiers came out TWO YEARS AGO ???????????????????????#whathe fuck ......

sometimes accents are stupid and pronunciations Do Not Generalize
an example of this is vitamin. where i am in america it's pronounced with an "eye" i, so the vi rhymes with "bye." Where I was in the UK it's pronounced with an "ih" I, so the vi is like the vi in "Victoria."
so now if it's taking about the concept of vitamins as a category, i use the US pronunciation. if i'm talking about specific ones, like vitamin c, i use the UK pronunciation.
(usually. if i remember i might swap wildly between the two as i try in vain to remember which pronunciation is correct for the country i'm in)
don't even get me started on the way i use the UK pronunciation of "garage" for everything except for garage sales
#linguistics#pronunciation problems#my stupid mongrel ass accent smh#garage vs garage sale is the one i notice most tho#bc i sounds WRONG to use the UK pronunciation when sale comes after it#mainly bc like. where i was in the UK very few people actually had garages bc all the buildings are old as shit#it's a car boot sale usually#but yeah the vitamin one clocks me in the face occasionally#i hope i have the order right about which pronunciation comes from where#i forget all the time#actually it might also depend on which vitamin#vitamin c is an ih vitamin#vitamin d is more of an eye vitamin#hey brain what's up i just want to talk

When June confronts Solas please imagine it like that one scene in KH1 where Riku does his little "im evil now" speech and Sora goes "youre stupid!" at him
#/hj but also not#do his motivation/actions/reasoning make sense for his character? yeah!#is it objectively stupid from an outside perspective! also yeah! <3#to june the whole ''ending the world'' shtick was weirdly fascinating right up until the point when solas actually attempted it#cus she kept going ''surely he doesnt mean it like. literally??' and ''HOW exactly is he gonna do it. what is the plan. what's the VISION?'#both in the sense that she expects solas to be smarter than that surely?? and that it sounds very unrealistic to her#yknow. logistically. what is the plan here?#so in that way she had a lot of fun over the years trying to figure that out what the possible plan is and what possible counters would be#also. her sense of time is such that the future might as well not exist so like. the threat of solas making the world end maybe#doesnt feel real until He Actually Tries It#their reunion will be nothing like what bioware (apparently) wants but it Will be very funny is what im saying#lay rambles#da4#dav#oc: june trevelyan#dunno yet what she'll think of rook though

While I don't mind the "poor reading comprehension" jokes and there is something to be said about the reading comprehension overall dropping. I really dislike how it also became almost like an insult. I think an unintended side effect of "people on tumblr/the Internet have poor reading comprehension"/"piss on the poor" jokes is it emboldened some people to just be casually ableist and mock people with learning and intellectual disabilities.
I know the vast majority of these statements are either made as a joke or aren't ableist at all. But some of ya sound like you're one step away from mocking somebody for being "slow" and dropping the r slur.
#thylacines can talk#sorry if this is not very comprehensive my memory and reading comprehension get Especially bad when im tired. some of my sentences might get#completely fucked because i literally forget what i wrote earlier in the exact same sentence.#anyway yeah majority of what i see is fine. but some of the shit i read on here sounds like word for word shit ive heard from other kids#whenever they mocked my disability. but its not new people on tumblr very often pretend to be disability allies and then mock disabled#people. so im disappointed but not surprised.#(also if this god forbid breaks containment watch somebody talk to me as if im stupid with 0 irony)

Your frozen hash brown treat sounds banger 😩
it comes courtesy of stoned em with no snacks in the house just a bag of frozen hash browns. i tried it again when i was sober and said "oh shit no this SLAPS" and while it takes about 15 minutes, it's literally
heat vegetable/canola oil in a pan (i just eyeball it because the instructions on the bag are for like a half bag and i have a tiny pan/can't eat that much. i like to cover the bottom of the pan and then add just a little more)
add frozen hash browns/seasoning (once again i use special shit but use literally whatever you want. make your own concoction if you so desire)
wait 6 minutes (can either vibe to music or scroll tumblr/tiktok/whatever. no real supervision required)
flip/stir (because they never stick together like they're allegedly supposed to)
wait 6 more minutes (continue previous activities)
check for ideal crispiness (i like personally to see a nice browning but i don't want to be crunching the whole time)
add cheese (as i said in my tags i use processed american cheese bc it gets nice and gooey. i do one slice and break it into quarters for maximum coverage)
once it gets to proper meltiness, transfer to plate and add hot sauce to your heart's desire.
even when i don't feel like cooking, i can manage to stand in the kitchen long enough to throw this together because it's worth it 100% of the time
#it's been a lifesaver on bad brain days because it hits the spot for me 100% of the time. i've never been disappointed.#i know you didn't ask for my recipe but. should you ever want to try for yourself it's so easy and the ingredients are like $10#and now that's excluding the specific seasoning i use but i also have all those seasonings individually because i cook a lot#you can season however you want. i just think the salt-pepper-paprika-garlic-onion-chili combo is perfect for me#(though it's like $10 for 13oz and it will last you a WHILE. it's very versatile too since it's just like. holy sextinity of seasonings)#(i used it on tofu for a stir fry i made for dinner and yeah it's just perfect for anything)#but i wanna say those seasonings separately you could probably get for like $10-$15? and they will last FOREVER unless you use them A LOT#ANYWAYS!!! i have been drinking and i will probably end up making this later on 😂 i'm glad someone else thinks it sounds good#em answers!#luce-goose#ematoullie#<- stupid ass cooking tag i'm creating because i love cooking so much and idk might share some more meals/recipes in the future

having social anxiety on tumblr dot com is so fucking frustrating cause like. i'll see a post i like and want to reblog but i do it with so so so much embarrassment because my brain's just thinking "oh god oh fuck im being so stupid right now what if op sees it and thinks im annoying" but like. they realistically would either not care at all or be happy about someone reblogging their post so like what the actual fuck am i afraid of??? but here's the kicker. the reason i have social anxiety in the first place is because i HAVE experienced these comically horrible social experiences of being judged and insulted for no reason before. multiple times. recently. the possibility of this happening is not a 0 chance. i have legitimate reasons to be afraid. and that is. actually horrific
#even on tumblr dot com (the neurodivergent website) i'm not safe from being ridiculed like my anxiety prophesises#the worst part is that the reason this has happened is because i'm autistic or i misinterpreted something. and i can't just-#-stop being autistic because that is impossible. so the ridicule could actually strike me at any time for no reason at all and that is-#-really scary.#i remember this one specific time i misinterpreted a post months ago and a couple people left sorta sarcastic snide replies on it-#-atting me and i literally did not know what i did wrong and was like ''hey wait i think i might have misinterpreted this. someone explain'#and luckily someone did and it was fine. but like. that was actually horrifying for me.#i was relatively new to tumblr at the time and i legitimately thought people were going to like dogpile me or something. i was that afraid.#and that sounds really stupid but you need to understand that 1. these people did not bother to say what i did wrong and were really vague-#-so that left no room for me to actually like. know what i did. and 2. being mocked and made fun of for not knowing something is something-#-i have gone through many MANY times and people dogpiling others for miniscule reasons is very common online. so like.#it was really fucking scary for me because my brain takes a light shower and turns it into a raging thunderstorm and i literally cannot-#-control that.#also slightly off topic but i hate when there's a misunderstanding or argument online and people are just snide and sarcastic about it-#-and won't bother to explain for no reason. stop being vague and just tell me already!! i don't want to play mental charades with you!!#anyway. yeah i hate having social anxiety it sucks.#social anxiety#vent#this is also the reason i rarely reblog or reply to others in my fandom. i promise i'm not being rude or cold! i literally-#-physically cannot bring myself to reply a lot of the time because i'm absolutely petrified to. i'm frozen with unimaginable fear.#so liking posts is my way of showing i appreciate everyone :)

semi-vent/semi-headcanon but making specifically a police officer the narrator (lockstock) was kind of crazy and perfect because like. they have the ego to be narrators. does that even make sense? you could argue that it's because he's in the middle between the rich and the poor because he's part of the law, but that's not true because cops are intrinsically harmful and biased. in a way, lockstock is an unreliable narrator. he's still violent to the poor when he's not narrating. he still kills bobby. from a story-telling point of view, this doesnt matter because to the audience he's more of a narrator than he is a cop, but from the point of view of the poor people, officer lockstock kills one of their own. i feel like there's a joke there that lockstock doesn't actually protect the city because he's too busy narrating, and when he does, he's just as violent as barrel.
#urinetown#this one might be grasping at threads but i had an experience today where i called 911 because i was worried about the wellbeing of this gu#who was literally fucking sleeping in a bush and i was worried he was fucking dead or something so i called 911 and they sent a cop to chec#and he was literally just like “yeah i know who that is. i know his name that's just what he does he's fine”#like they dont fucking do anything man#this sounds really naive and privileged and it is and i feel so fucking shitty about that but the more i become aware of fucked up shit tha#goes on in reality the more i realize how fucked up urinetown is and would be#i mean they REALLY hit the nail on the head with that play#and i dont mean to like project that experience onto some stupid musical im still worried about that guy and it was a shitty experience but#its a paralell i noticed a couple hours ago and feel like people should know about? maybe not idk its been a long day#delete later probably

#there has been this thought bugging me for a long time#how i get inspired by what surrounds me#may that be the little snail in the grass when i’m going back home after a long day#or seeing people holding hands on the bus#i sometimes wonder if i too am part of the little wonders that people get to experience in their daily life#i wouldn’t say i’m obsessed with the internet but i love seeing videos that people make with snippets of their#and how they get captured by their friends or loved ones in a very movie style look#but i never have this?#this coming out of my mouth might sound SO stupid and oh god it is but#but i would love for my loved ones to have secret pictures of me in their phones#photos they took because they thought i was pretty#videos of us dancing when no one’s watching#little documentations on life that bring us all together#but i never get that it’s like i’m the only one seeing life the way i see and it’s quite sad sometimes#it’s like i’m craving inspiration and romance but i’m the only one to feel it#this probably doesn’t make any sense and these tags are SO LONG but yeah

Dealing with newcomer's embarrassment gets easier if you are surrounded by people you have no respect for.
#oh this other professional saw me do something stupid that messed up my paperwork?#but she does shady things worse than the mistake i just made on purpose to make a buck#oh i just said something dumb to my boss#give him a few hours and he'll say something even dumber to me#oh no the guy who has been working at this job for twenty years just saw me make a rookie mistake#agony abounds but he just did six other things a lot worse than I did all in one day so i'll live with it#oh no the manager is a little disappointed with my performance?#so what he's a pushover and he won't say or do anything about it anyway i'll do better next time#oh no my one coworker hates my guts#she hate's everyone else's guts too and literally never shuts up about it#i'm not special#it sounds kind of depressing--and it can be#but i have a lot of affection for these people regardless of their issues#i just don't really let my failures around them bother me too much anymore because i honestly don't care what these people think of me#i'm not going to make the same mistakes ever again#but i don't have to let this stuff keep me up at night because i did something wrong#if i'm not going to go to them for advice why do i care what they think about me?#it was something that i realized a few months ago and ever since it's made things a LOT easier to deal with#plus#these people aren't dwelling on my failures either#they all have their own stuff going on#yeah they might harp on it for a while bit new things will come up and eventually they forget#they aren't thinking about me that much anyway#XD

ok after listening to the english version of the death note musical....... unpopular opinion i think but i actually prefer the japanese version? dont get me wrong, with some of the songs i do think i might like the eng version more but..... idk i like the lyrics of the japanese version a lot more? and obviously i only know them via a translation but i know for a fact that the entire focus of certain songs are different between versions.
like in the english version of the game begins, L is talking about his strategy to track down kira. but in the japanese version, he's more so talking TO kira directly and saying that he's going to take him down from his "god" status to hell. or mortals and fools, which had a wholeee different vibe in the japanese version being called like a cruel dream. and uhhhh am i insane or was rem's song before she dies an entirely different song? cause in english it was like a sort of generic love song that was pretty chill considering the context, while in the japanese version it was this superrr melancholic and striking ballad she sang while floating around misa.
idk but i really do think i prefer the japanese version. but the og english version is good too!!! i really liked hurricane and the way it ends in particular
#in ''the way it ends'' btw light saying to L ''i've always stayed a step ahead; but you were with me all the way'' almost made me cry WHATTT#WHO MADE HIM FUCKING SAY THATTTTT THATS SUCH AN INSANE LYRIC#but anyway yeah i think i prefer the jp version a good amount#another thing was um. and this might be a stupid thing to be weird about but. L's actor was too passionate for my tastes#<- that sounds insane but if you know anime L you know what i mean right. like hes pretty reserved#and i felt in the japanese production i watched L's actor there was still a great performer and singer like putting work into those songs#while still keeping that air of L being more reserved and like. flat almost? i feel like the guy playing L in the eng version was too much#like ''im BELTTTINGGGGGG HOW IM GONNA FUCKING CATCCHHHH KIRA!!!!!!!!!!'' like bro calm down......#ITS A GOOD PERFORMANCE it just doesnt read as L to me. and like thats fine whatever its an adaptation#but also in the japanese version they still did that adaptation while making L feel more like himself. so idk man#but anyway I WANNA SEE THIS NEW LONDON PRODUCTION SOOOOOOOO BAD#IVE SEEN PHOTOS AND IT LOOKS SO GOOD THE SET IS SOOOOOO COOL LOOKING OML#i need to see this musical live at SOME point in my life. pleaseeee can we get a north america production after this#serena.txt#death note posting

#genuine question which may sound stupid#bc i always experience this i thought maybe it was universal#but if you watch or listen to something sad do you also get immensely sad?#like... as if all your sadness of your entire life comes flooding back?#not just 'oh this movie is sad' but like. oh yeah there's my old friend depression. she is def still there#like i can be doing so fine all week and then it's like a shadow falls over me reminding me of what is always always lurking#anyways. that's why i don't often indulge in sad media :)#my posts#i explained it poorly and also this was caused by fellow travelers :)#queer grief might be the worst of all

getting an iced pumpkin chai in the morning and then my personal goal is to spend the whole day writing and i hope i can come back to this post tomorrow and rb w how much progress i’ve made!!!
#i have a love/hate relationship w this fic and i’m gonna rant to myself bc hehe it’s almost midnight so why not :>#okay SO. i for some reason just didn’t create any proper outline for this story and i think that’s why it’s taken me so long to write it#because i don’t necessarily have a why/a REASON for this story or plot… like even thinking abt doing the dialogue and trying to find flow +#cohesion is making me so 😐 and also honestly… i’m terrible at doing drafts in the first place#i don’t write linearly i jump all over the place while writing and SOMETIMES i can connect things but this time i could NOT#and i would focus on one tiny part for SO long and make no progress anywhere else like GIRL……… ENOUGH#but hmmmm yeah i also for some reason feel like esp w my writing it’s super robotic and doesn’t have emotion#like i’m not writing w suguru’s voice and instead i’m writing as the author and it’s kinda irking me#if that makes sense… hmmmm……….. also i might be doing dual pov so hopefully it doesn’t look too wonky#but yeah 😭 i need to work on scene setting & describing things effectively + doing show not tell#like i just made a mini outline rn and wow . it’s Not it at all 😭😭😭 there’s no WHY to the story and it’s making it hard to write#okay not necessarily a ‘why’ but like . What’s The Point of the story#sigh. i need to figure that out#also there’s so much stuff i want to add but i feel like it’ll be clunky + it’ll move fast or be weird#but my goal for tomorrow is truly and honestly write the meat and bones of it and then i can edit ruthlessly later on#i was thinking of getting it out this week but i forgot election week/don’t have anything really written either 😭#but hopefully next week if i try hard enough! the goal is before december bc i want this to be a november fic#but yeah that’s my mini vent @ me i’m glad to just talk abt in the tags#feels like for this story specifically it’s been a lot of looking at my docs instead of writing which is WHACK 🤨#also i don’t like my writing style + i want to write better in GENERAL#that’ll come w practice & doing it often though 😭#ALSO . SIDENOTE but why does tumblr not let me link things anymore like NDNDNDND SO STUPID#OOOOH AND . i need to start/finish selfship moodboards & also create wip lists for geto/gojo/toji but for REAL#as in wipe i’ll actually plan to write next not just ones i like the sound of 😭#ANYWAYS I’M SO SLEEBY……… honk shoo mimimi cult leader geto please pat my head to sleep and be kind to me#GIRL THIS IS LONG AS HELL OMFG . silence @ me 🤫 what a YAPPER#personal
