okay so people always say you shouldn't edit as you go because it slows you down too much, you should just word-vomit something unpublishable onto the page and then rewrite it over and over until you have A Good Story, but:

I don't actually know how to do that. I wondered why I can never seem to work that way until I realised I've been trying to edit things I had already edited while I was writing them. The job's done!

I don't get how rewriting repeatedly is actually any faster than just writing it right the first time even if that makes me slow to get a 'first draft' (aka 'finshed piece' because I edited as I went along)?

look, i've read a lot of "word vomit to get me to 100k and then i'll fix it" stories and some of you cannot edit in any meaningful way. this supposedly perfect system doesn't work flawlessly at all!

what if i forget the ~vibes~ i felt about the word i couldn't summon to mind for this sentence? what if i come back to it on a second pass and settle for an inferior adjective, possibly because i'm telling myself i'll fix this on a future rewrite, by which time i'll have forgotten my initial concerns? THE RISK IS TOO GREAT!!! D:

WHAT IF I FORGET THAT THIS IS JUST ANOTHER SHIT VERSION AND I POST IT TO AO3 AND EVERYONE SEES MY SHAME????

why am i even worrying about this? i write CORRECTLY, it is YOU that is doing it wrong! why are you slowing yourself down by editing later on? just write it good the first time, dumbass!

ok so the twin theory regarding yuuji and sukuna doesn't make sense to me in a literal sense but there are some aspects of it that... just make too much sense. the theory might turn out to be true in a way. they can still be twins or like twins... just not blood related ones. well maybe yuuji is a part of sukuna's bloodline considering how similar wasuke looks like to og sukuna or why yuuji has pink hair so in that case they would be blood related.. just not blood related twins. I think it might have more to do with their souls and how they've come to coexist together when they were sharing the same body.

yuuji and sukuna being twins no because they're blood related siblings but because of their souls would be such a interesting twist considering the connection between the soul and the body in jjk world. maybe kejaku feed gave yuuji a part of sukuna's soul or created him using a part of sukuna's soul. mahito stated that 'the soul should always exist before the body' and 'the shape of the body will always be depended on the shape of the soul' by that logic it would mean that the body is like a container in which the soul resides and once the body dies the soul can no longer live in it. Im not gonna dive into that rabbit hole and speculate the physics behind it but the baseline is that there is a deep connection between body and soul. they're intertwined in some very unique way and we already know that there must be a connection between yuuji and sukuna's souls as they were able to coexist in one body. you could even say that in a way they were like conjoined twins, sharing and inhabiting the same flesh... ALSO there’s this very subtle imagery of yuuji and sukuna's souls being conjoined together so y'know...

I think what I'm trying to say is that yuuji and sukuna might not be (blood-related) twins but maybe their souls are.

Chappel Roan saying she’s sad she’s demisexual and then there’s me being aroace as a whole like don’t you think I’m even more sad 😭

blah blah something about how Martyn became the first red because he fell into the void in the end and Lizzie became the first to die permanently because she fell into the void in the end.

Some real “from dust you were made and to dust you shall return” type stuff.

through the void, red first was born and through the void red first shall die.

the lord giveth and the lord shall taketh away.

memento mori

I’ll figure it out.

you shall not find success in this realm. the realm herself shall not allow it. all you who enter shall fall, yet not all shall be consumed by the void. she hungers for more, but you have twice failed her. you failed to follow the footsteps of the gemini who opened the gateway to your rebirth.

i think the craziest part of the percy jackson series—(warning i’m gonna be talking about child abuse)

—is that sally married gabe. “she was using him to hide percy’s demigod scent.” she married a man who physically abused her child. like. i get it’s a very nuanced situation and that demigods literally don’t even exist but yk what does exist? moms who marry men that abuse their children… like girl. there are plenty of bum ass men who smoke weed and eat pizza and looove their ciggies and instead of abusing ur kid they would straight up ignore him and if they were a demigod their scent would STILL be hidden

ANON WHO BROUGHT UP LUCAS THANK U I WAS ITCHING TO TALK AB HIM BUT I WAS SOOO SCARED BC i didn’t know if it was a safe space free of lumis or not…

my ig feels kinda curated to show me content of him there’s so much of his stans there compared to tiktok and the specific posts im getting is like “dreamies winning for smoothie!! …lucas in the back🥺💔” OR “dejun introducing lucas for his stage🥺🥺” SHUUTTT UPPPPP

it’s especially aggravating when there are situations in the industry that were far less impactful than his allegations the ones i’m thinking of specifically is soojin ex gidle as well as chuu have not promoted on music shows BUT WITHIN LIKE TWO MONTHS OF HIM COMING BACK HE GETS TO HAVE HIS SOLO DEBUT AND PERFORM??? and don’t even get me started on seunghan. what the fuck do you mean ot6 siren gtfo

i gave up on editing and was making shitposts on my tiktok praying for the downfall of sm ent because it seems they have a 7 member group curse DIEEE!!! (respectfully..! i lov u lee donghyuck i hope u can be free from the sm shackles in due time)

HSDJDKSKS don’t worry this is never a safe space for him and his fan i rlly do not like that guy and you’ll never catch me praising him.. anyways i got some stuff to say too but it will probably be the only time i’ll speak on it here because i don’t like giving that man attention 😶‍🌫️

bro i’m not surprised that you’re getting that stuff because when i tell you 99% of nctzens on insta are all lucas fans it actually shocked me 😭😭 i remember once commenting smth like “we don’t want him back” and i got sent death threats like OVER DOZEN???? MR CANT FIND THE BEAT?? 😭😭😭 tiktok is really 50/50 with a side that’s here for him and another side that doesn’t like him. the only platform i know where it’s mostly people disliking him is twitter but even then he got a pretty large following on there that is LOUD and ANNOYING

and you’re so right about that ITS SO CRAZY TO ME how SM just wouldn’t let go off him like they were so adamant on keeping him in the company for some reason and have been soft launching him for a good year trying to get the public to ease a bit, (the amount of concerts he’s attended to make his presence known.. you’re not slick SM) and i just don’t get what value he has to that company. he doesn’t bring the talent like he literally invented the term dozen because he dozen do anything right, he doesn’t bring the visuals, you can argue that he brings fans because he got a very huge SEA and latin (?) fan population that is veryyyy loud but even then the number of haters is much bigger, china literally hates him and korea barely tolerates him.

they didn’t hesitate to put seunghan on hiatus and are literally erasing him from the group in real time with the ot6 siren ver it’s crazyyy, all because he got his privacy invaded and did acceptable teen things? they kicked that SNSD member out for starting her own clothing brand and i’m sure they blacklisted her too, jaejoong got blacklisted too, soojin and chuu got kicked out, but the guy who has literal criminal allegations (that he basically admitted to himself) gets a whole pity sob documentary as well as rebranding as a soloist? chris lee is the biggest dick rider ever for this and it will never make sense to me😭

i honestly don’t like talking about him or mentioning him because 1. any type of publicity can be good publicity to him 2. arguing with his fans is useless and tiring because they will NOT change their mind 3. his face and existence annoys me so yeah i don’t like mentioning him because what’s the point hate-watching his content like that’s still publicity for him

but yeah if i find out any of his fans follow me i’ll literally block, even if you dont follow me and i find you’re his fan i block 💀 NOT A SAFE SPACE FOR LUMIS PLEASE LEAVE BEFORE I HAVE TO BLOCK U MYSELF 😭🙏🏽

Hi again!! Can you do some Rachel King from hoa and Emily Davis interaction?? Ty ;)

She'd gotten three, maybe four, steps into the diner when she heard it: "You might want to go somewhere else, actually."

The suddenness of it surprised her - not enough to jump or anything, but oh, she sure spun on her heel - and when Rachel turned to see who'd been addressing her so flatly, so informally, in a place like this, she was shocked to find the only other person around was a fashionably dressed young woman in one of the booths.

"Excuse me?" she asked, briefly turning to glance over her shoulder where the headlights of her car glowed through the pouring rain, Eric no doubt messing with her radio presets to hell and back.

The woman didn't flinch, continuing to scroll through her phone with a blank, almost bored look on her face; as if she hadn't noticed the sharpness in Rachel's tone, she replied in that same flat tone of voice, "The guy at the counter's a total freak...you're gonna get up there and he's gonna say something you wish you hadn't heard, so you might want to go somewhere else tonight, sweetie, just some friendly advice."

'Friendly advice' notwithstanding, Rachel rolled her eyes and brushed past the booth, and no sooner had she made eye contact with the diner's owner standing behind the counter than he sized her up, narrowed his eyes, and warned, "You will never again be as happy as you are now."

From behind her, there was a cold, pitiless laugh before the young woman muttered, "What did I say?" just loud enough to be heard over the buzzing of the diner's neon lights.

Have you been to the Nimitz museum in Fredericksburg or know what's there? I'll have an opportunity to go there in the new year and was wondering if you had any recommendations for stuff to read up on before going? I've got some very shallow knowledge about the Pacific War and feel like it'll be a lot more rewarding if I go in more prepared.

you should talk to @misanderousmisfit who visited the Nimitz museum very recently!! i have to admit i have literally never stepped foot in Texas.

i really know very little about the pacific theatre of WWII, shamefully. most of my WWII knowledge is related to the ARMY on the western front 1943-1945. (I know a weirdly large amount about the battle of the Ruhr pocket for instance.) ummm, maybe watch the movie “Midway”? It’s been a long time (5 years ish) since I saw it but i believe “Hacksaw Ridge” is also about the Pacific theatre, though what I really remember from that movie is a lot of weird religious moralizing and andrew Garfield doing a very weird accent etc. Though I was 15 when I watched it so maybe my memories are a little skewed. And I continue to recommend Craig Symonds’ new Nimitz biography, which I read last January (after he signed my copy 😋)

my review of tender is the flesh: read it if yuo feel like getting fucked up and want to feel a deep overwhelming sense of horror and anger towards every single character within a book. seriously the one time in post-apocalyptic media when i truly think that every single person within that world deserves to die horrifically

?? Oh my god thank you for 4k on this !! 💕💕💕

Imagine being Boothill’s sweetheart before everything went up in flames… he didn’t think you survived, but you did somehow, and you managed to get away from the terror and the flames. And he meets you again, in some far corner of the galaxy.

He’s a galaxy ranger now, with a body made of metal and a core where his heart should be. But he still feels something click when he looks at you, even from the corner of his eye. He doesn't believe what he's seeing at first— he thinks that it must be some bug in his system. Some trick of the light. But despite his doubts he feels his feet move from under him, walking first, then running, until he's pushing other people out of the way and damn near sprinting to get to you before you disappear.

And oh, when he manages to reach you— manages to stop you with a hand on your shoulder, he almost can't believe his eyes. He takes his hat off and presses it to his chest, the same way he had done when he asked for your hand a lifetime ago.

If he could cry, he thinks, he’d be a blubbering mess. 

Because it is you. Because he'd recognize the curve of your cupid's bow and the shine in your eyes even from across a cosmos. Because you're here, against all odds and despite every nightmare he's had. You're here, and you're just as lovely as the day he lost you.
