Every time Salmondean have a Talk about Dean's feelings, it goes like this:

S: why r u sad talk to me talk to me talk to me ur sad don't lie talk to me talk D: (opens up and reveals that he has a giant bleeding wound in place of his heart yet again). S: :0 S: :( S: :| S >:( S: wow, that sucks. Uh, have you tried to get over it?

Sorry if this question is a bit forward or too personal or if this isn't the place to ask. But what goddess do your worship?

her name is mother she looks like this

[eddiegettingshot]

like. hen didn’t lambast buck for kissing lucy for basically no reason other than being unsettled about his relationship with taylor. no one called for hen’s head when she cheated on karen because of a full moon (?). eddie sees shannon’s lookalike and goes insane with his unprocessed grief and makes a massively terrible decision and both his best friend and his son should blow up at him for being a Shitty Person And Horrible Father With The Worst Problems Ever. yeah ok lol

I’ve only ever interacted with you before by (obsessively) liking your fics so forgive this being so random but I feel like part of the reason people are more okay with artists charging for their work over writers (and I think everyone should get paid for it tbh) is the perceived accessibly of writing skills over drawing skills. Like I don’t think it’s malicious but I feel like a lot of people at least subconsciously look at fanfiction and think “I could do that, I have Microsoft word and can physically type” meanwhile they look at art and think like “I wouldn’t even know where to start to get there” not realizing that it would take probably the same amount of work and time to get as good at writing as Umiko is at drawing (is drawing even the right word lol idk)

Like I think it’s subconscious right now but if a writer did pay wall their fics it would almost immediately become something they would say to the writer like “why would I pay for this when I can do it myself”

Fwiw, from a customer service rep making $16 an hour, if I could give you $900k a year I would, if for no other reason than you’ve given me terrible Soap brain worms (I was so blind, but now I See™️) (also just to be clear I, in no way, think learning to write is just easy, just that easy access to the tools to do it with make it seem like it must be and thus people undervalue it as a skill in pretty much all areas of life but for this purpose, especially in fandom spaces)

no but you're like 100% right. when people ask me for tips and tricks to get better at writing, i try to be super encouraging and tell people like "you can do it too!!!" because i like making people believe in their own abilities, but it is an incredibly hard thing to do. i think i undersell how hard writing is. but you're so right, i think subconsciously most people think it's not as challenging as creating art is. i completely get your point and agree.

Fang Li, a fool: I absolutely cannot be with Xie Huai, someone I greatly enjoy being close with, because I can't have a sex with a man. That's the one line I can't cross!

Me, an intellectual:

the dim, anti-instagrammable lighting enthrals me. he should be watching inuyasha on that setup. he should be on newgrounds.

[murderballadeer]

oh god this is what my hypothetical haters are gonna bring up when they tell their mutuals to delete their rbs of my posts. "murderballadeer is a terrible person she said people who believe men are oppressed are idiots"

its hard to pick out the dumbest aspect of rings of power but i’m leaning toward the fact that sauron’s big contribution toward making the rings is that he explained to 1000 yr old elven smiths what an alloy is

this is the fabled Queer Cafe that everyone on tumblr wished for.

The one thing that irks me about those haha "Monster Energy Drink Addiction" jokes, is in visuals, ppl ONLY draw the original, classic Monster flavor. Which fair, It's the ORIGINAL Monster before all other Monsters and it's color way IS recognizable but it's flavor is ASS. In my opinion, it's logo is MOST impactful and so all you really need is any color can with the Monster LOGO plastered on it and people WILL recognize. A REAL addict has multiple favorites and the original is NOWHERE NEAR their top three.

I’m realizing my old/soon-to-be haircut looks like Secily. I’m going to die.

tmbg's assertion that their songs aren't autobiographical leads me to believe "whole lot of glean" must be about a fictional person who coincidentally has a whole lot of copies of an album named glean that they are signing and they are not enjoying doing that
