how did you get into the publishing industry? i love to read so this seems like an interesting field but i studied art history, not literature or writing

I studied publishing studies first, but it genuinely (unfortunately) has a lot to do with networking. I got to know people through the course (and other courses I've studied such as creative writing and also my masters in literature), through interning via my uni, but also through the book community on instagram! I'm currently freelancing as a book editor and proof reader, and if you're interested in gaining some experience in that too I'm sure you could find people who'd love to let you edit/beta read their stuff so that you could gain more experience for when you reach out to publishers. The more experience the better, but it's also good to know people in the field if you have ways to do that. But also! I feel like your knowledge in art history could also be of use if you find more artsy publishers, possibly smaller ones. Good luck!

Your hands are clean. OKAY so i do know that there is an ep of spn that is an actual homage to reservoir dogs (and even has cas as mr orange) HOWEVER screen caps of the homoerotic bleeding to death scenes always make me think of 10x03 SO here you go

ID: Two digital drawings of Cas and Crowley from episode 10x03 of Supernatural. The poses are taken from Reservoir Dogs, with Cas on his back and Crowley kneeling over him and supporting his head. In the first drawing, Crowley is holding a vial of grace in one hand. In the second drawing, Crowley is holding the open vial in front of Cas and the grace is moving towards his mouth. They are outside and it is a sunny day. Cas' face and clothes are bloodied. End ID.

in terms of tv production decisions that turned out to be terrible, the west wing choosing to use the same upbeat score over the end credits of EVERY EPISODE no matter what story beat it ended on has got to be up there as one of the worst 😂

liking romantasy as an ace person who is more sex-indifferent than sex-favorable is so exhausting. there are all these books that look cool but the authors mostly market them based on spicy levels and spicy scenes and it does nothing for me so i just sit here like :| thats nice i guess haha

just finished da2. I'm actually speechless. the ending hurt, it was heartbreaking in the best way (also bonus points for the dai tease). at the same time, it really felt like hawks' story isn't over. like there are still plenty of tales to tell about them. I genuinely want more of them and of their friends/lovers.

i adore this story. all the companions, the side characters... the game certainly has its flaws, many of which could be blamed on the extremely short time it spent in the oven, but MAN was it not one of the best written narrative games I got to play so far

big al is literally that “i’m a bad bitch you can’t kill me” meme and i think that’s what every geriatric mercenary needs to aspire to

[armenelols]

Yeah I've just realised it's been months since I posted or reblogged or replied to anything on here, so. Yeah. Obligatory announcement that I am still alive and well. My mind got wiped midway through exam season at the end of january and since they then I've been vibing in a stress free world where I am not worried about anything or doing anything

oh god scratch what have you done?!?!? :0

An excerpt from something that's been in my drafts for far too long now

Luffy & Sabo, pre-canon, Sabo still has amnesia but Koala dragged him to spend a day on Dawn Island and just so happened to time it right after Ace left, and he ended up spending the day with Luffy

Sabo gave in to the impulse, leaning forward to press a kiss against Luffy’s forehead. 

The kid looked up at him, eyes wide and only just starting to fill up with tears. The cry that escaped his throat sounded almost painful, raw and violent, and he lunged forwards, hands fisting in Sabo’s coat as his face pressed against his cravat. 

“I miss Sabo,” he sobbed into Sabo’s chest. 

Sabo gingerly wrapped his arms around the kid. 

“...I’m sorry I’m not the person you want me to be,” he said. 

They stayed like that for a while. Sabo kept rubbing Luffy’s back in what he hoped to be a soothing motion, allowing the kid to let it all out. 

In the end, Luffy was the one to pull away, straightening up as he wiped at his eyes with wrist. 

Sabo gently pulled his arm down, grabbing a handkerchief to use instead. 

He carefully cleaned up Luffy’s face, letting him use the handkerchief to blow his nose once done. Sabo intended to leave the fabric with Luffy, anyway, so it would be fine. 

Once Luffy was all cleaned up, the time has come to say goodbye.

when you read a fic that gives you a hyper-specific whump scenario that you know would either A.) take forever to find in another story or B.) hasn't been written at all so the obvious conclusion is that you have to write it yourself

i have a weird relationship with weight because i hated eating more than anything the moment i was ready for solids ( i hate chewing with my entire life always have & will ) which made me underweight for most of my life ( to this day ) & during late primary-middle school this made me actively suicidal because i felt like something was wrong with my sex because i just was not developing whatsoever prompting me to have a years long phase of trying to gain weight in any way i could ( #EPICFAIL by the way ) & i was already insecure but i felt seriously so unforgivably ugly after bullying not just at school but by adults of my entourage. but then i did in my late 15s which prompted the pendulum to swing in the other direction & suddenly i FREAKED OUT & thought well being skinny is pretty much all i have & know myself to be & clearly it is not going to last forever so i Better preserve it i was delusional about how skinny i thought i was actually i look stumpy & weird i have to prove myself. But now i am normal again kind of
