it's weird that we as humans were designed to feel strong negative emotions much more easily than strong positive ones (like of the same strenght but opposite). it's literally so rare to feel strong, burning happiness. it's more often soft content and peace that comes, but those are not passionate or piercing emotions that power you up and generate actions out of ordinary, like for example when falling in love. the negative emotions though can appear because of literally any unexpected thing and power up a lot of burning pain that can last for much longer too and make ppl do all kinds of stupid shit they'd normally not do. it's like we were made with inability to accept things not going our way in any shape or form, while happinness needs very specific shape or form to burn as strongly. idk if this is always true and ofc not everyone experiences negative and positive emotions the same way or with the same strenght, but i think the imbalance is still there no matter what.

The fixation on making characters behave exactly like real people in 95% of writing advice I see kinda misses the point imo. It’s how we get people pointing at certain scenes and being like “this is so unrealistic, no one would do that, what terrible writing”. Like, idk how to tell you this, but it’s *not* real. There’s a reason why situations, emotions, and actions in stories are often exaggerated (to make a Point more obvious when it might otherwise be missed) and you went ahead and missed it anyway
The focus should always be on how to craft characters that best suit the narrative. If that means they act like “real people”, then that’s fine. But that’s not the case for every story and shouldn’t be treated as such 
In fact, the focus of all writing advice should be how to best tailor the setting, characters, word choices, and writing styles to the type of story you want to tell. It’s why writing advice is so dang subjective and often frustratingly difficult to both learn and teach
So yeah, I guess I just don’t want fledgling writers to think that just because their characters are “unrealistic” that they are automatically Doing It Wrong. Those characters might be acting in the exact way your story needs them to act

Y'all I know that when so-called AI generates ridiculous results it's hilarious and I find it as funny as the next guy but I NEED y'all to remember that every single time an AI answer is generated it uses 5x as much energy as a conventional websearch and burns through 10 ml of water. FOR EVERY ANSWER. Each big llm is equal to 300,000 kiligrams of carbon dioxide emissions.
LLMs are killing the environment, and when we generate answers for the lolz we're still contributing to it.
Stop using it. Stop using it for a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. We need to kill it.

not caring too much about a fandom’s favourite guy is the worst. you’ll think “oh i’ll look into the tag see if anything new and cool’s there” and it’s just that fucking guy again

proud to say that I have never once in my life figured out the whodunit in any crime story I've read or watched. I just let the facts and clues wash over me, absorbing absolutely none of it. I am the audience they think of when they throw in red herrings, in case you've ever wondered "who would fall for this obvious false lead". it's me. I am the idiot viewer/reader. not once has an obviously framed clue revealed anything to me. my head is completely empty when I consume these stories.

anyways take heat waves seriously. heat strokes and heat exhaustion are real. drink water. wear sunscreen. stay covered or in shaded areas if you can. pay attention to your skin - if it’s super flushed and your face is redder than usual, get under some shade and cool down IMMEDIATELY. pay attention to kids and elders too.

Yall know the posts that are like "you can usually tell who little sister is bc she'll be the taller one", lets test that theory
if you need an example, my sister is older than me by 3 years and I'm taller by a few inches
Edit: 1) sorry to all the middle children out there!! I didn't mean to forget yall on purpose it slipped my mind when I made this poll, take a cookie as an apology 🍪🍪🍪. Just choose whatever option fits best and explain in the tags if you feel like it.
2) the formatting of the polls are like that bc it was late asl when I made this poll and it made sense to me at the time, so sorry again if yall have trouble understanding the poll
