#these writers work their asses off

[foli-vora]

The anon button gives some cunts way too much fucking audacity on this hellsite. If you don’t have the nerve to send some judgemental/mean shit with your own fucking name on it, maybe don’t fucking say it at all and take your cowardly ass off this site. Kindness is free you fucking animals.

After all, any normal human would be."

I’m Sorry: In Various Translations: CHAPTER 11 UPDATE

by koifishscribbles on ao3

Premise: Gojo Satoru has not seen his ex, Getou Suguru, since college. Until he shows up one day teaching in the classroom across the hall from him.

It’s an angsty slowburn AU across multiple timelines (high school, college, and adulthood) with a word count of 90k!

If you want to give it a try, here’s a sample from chapter 11:

September 2009

“Sacrum.”

“Sacrum,” Suguru repeats. He is not just watching Shoko point out the anatomical terms on a blank worksheet; he’s watching her lips as well. The way they curve around the words like a debutant easing her way through a crowd as her tongue flexes around teeth.

“Coccyx.”

“You’re fucking with me,” he groans, flopping back on her dorm bed. Up on the ceiling, there are glow in the dark stars left by the previous resident. Shoko tried to take them down, but it ripped off a piece of the drop ceiling.

“Nope, couldn’t make that name up.” She holds the diagram up higher so that he can see it. A new ceiling to hold him down. “Someone thought it’d be a good idea to name, what is essentially your butt-bone the coccyx.”

“Fuck it! Coccyx!” He repeats. “If you are fucking with me, I know where you live and— and— I’ll let Satoru think of something weird and fucked up to do to you.”

“Suguru,” she scolds. “I wouldn’t fuck around about your grades.”

Suguru only took anatomy because of Shoko. She loved it in high school and got really good grades— that— and it seemed better than physics, which Satoru excelled at. When he was picking out his classes, he knew he’d struggle in his one required science class, so he decided to pick one that allowed him to coerce one of his friends to tutor him.

He’d tested out of the English as a Second Language program in his last year of high school— not that his college had an equivalent program, but Suguru knew he’d still struggle. Subjects that forced him into contact with words he’d never been educated on in Japanese were the worst. One would think it’d be easy to learn the words for the first time alongside his English peers, but it sucked. He needed to process and push everything through the Japanese part of his brain first. Without an equivalent term, it felt like all the words just slipped out of him because he had no set frame of reference to place them with.

So he’s stuck with anatomy. Satoru would've been a shit tutor anyways.

He follows her lips through the waltz. And imagines each of the words, sounds that bounce off the calendar, and sticky-note covered cinder block walls as Satoru’s bones specifically. His lips wrapped around Satoru’s clavicle, cajoling little bruises on taunt skin. Placing his hand across the length of Satoru’s sternum and feeling the genesis of his quickening breath.

Missing Satoru was a certainty in high school. Actually, missing him when he galavanted around the world on school breaks. And missing him as he sat right next to Suguru. No words to explain how he drew him in, like every atom that surrounded Satoru was electric and constantly reaching out to pull him, making his hair stand on end. He didn’t even know there was a language to explain this. Now, he misses Satoru while he’s right next to him. It’s as if everything in the world is plotting to keep them apart and centrifugal force that keeps him stuck in this rotation of work, school, practice, study. Work. School. Practice. Study. Makes him want to throw up. But he’s too tired for that, so Suguru shoves Satoru over in bed and counts down each of his ribs until their rise and fall assimilate onto his own.

i heard a rumor the umbrella academy only had three seasons

Every time I talk to a DB fan who doesn't know or doesn't agree that the whole franchise is an adventure comedy first and an action series second I feel insane but then I find an old Toriyama interview,

You made some comedic scenes where you have minor villains Pilaf & co. appear; how did you come up with a balance between laughs and fierce battles? Do you pay attention to the difference between comedy and battle in making a work “entertaining”?

I believe that, when you combine comedy and serious battles, both of them might come alive even more. As for me personally, though, I much prefer drawing dumb jokes to battle scenes.

as a bonus, every time I'm like 'idk I didn't really like most of the DBZ movies prior to Yo Son Goku and Friends Return and BotG,' and get the 'whAAaaT they're so gOOD' (from my brother, tbh askdjs) but they all seemed really Action-Drama and About the Fight Scenes and I'm like 'meh kinda boring tbh' I get to gaze upon,

In the latest movie, Toriyama-san, you participated in the production from the scriptwriting stage for the first time. What is the reason for that? Was there anything you noticed in coming face-to-face with the work after so long?

I was told about a project for Dragon Ball in its first animated film in a long while, and I read the story outline; while the beings “Beerus, God of Destruction” and “Super Saiyan God” (which goes above Super Saiyan) were interesting, the themes were heavy, and I felt that the world was a bit different from Dragon Ball. Rather than telling them about this or that problematic spot, I thought it would be faster if I just wrote it out concretely, and while I had intended just to give them a model―”for example”―my hand wouldn’t stop, and ultimately, I ended up writing almost everything, including the dialogue. I am reflecting on the fact that I did something terribly rude to the scriptwriter.

One of the scariest things for me right now about the protests and the willingness of movie and TV execs to just keep pushing it until everyone loses everything is how it's not just punishing those who want to build and maintain the industry, but it's also devastating to anyone who was looking to break into the industry.

I'm an animator who is just about ready to give up on ever making it anywhere. My skills feel wasted because no matter which angle I try to come in, execs would rather replace me with a machine and leave anyone who worked their asses off to get to where we are in the dust.

I'm tired. I work a stupid retail job and make barely enough to support myself, all because some assholes with more money than most folks on this hellsite could ever dream of decided they wanted to make a few more people suffer so they could watch their silly numbers go up.

I always get detained at da border because PROFUNC never ended but basically I'm like if a targeted individual didn't even care

As we reach the end of the season this is a friendly reminder that it is possible to express an unfavorable opinion about a piece of media without being an absolute dick about it 🙃

[tana-draws]

my brain is so fucking stupid. I was bullied in fourth grade, my friends were like “actually erm we don’t want to be friends with you :/“ on the second to last day of eighth grade (even though we were all zoned for different high schools and would never see eachother anyway). And because of that my brain is, as my therapist and mother (two different people,) theorized, “hyper vigilant for any perceived social ostrichaztion”. The thing is it’s fucking stupid about it. Sure it has the generic ��uwu your friends probably hate you secretly” thing.

But it also. Like: I’ll see a post that is somewhat negative towards a thing I like or a trait I even remotely identify with (including stuff as vague as ‘nervous’ or ‘writer’) and I’ll be like “yeah that makes sense” or “I don’t agree but I also don’t care”. But then my brain will repeat the negative phrase on loop for like a week. And will trigger physical reactions (crying, shortness of breath, etc) in response to it. I’ve actually had public panic attacks over things I give 0 shits about because my brain is a fucking helicopter parent.

I've yet to find another site that can give you the same feeling as a Wattpad fic with a beautifully/expertly edited cover and the worst first chapter you've ever seen so far.

[nina-ya]

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!! Halfway through the week!! We got this!!! I hope you all have nothing short but a lovely day 💕💕💕

[dearestxiao]

hi everyone, it's mostly-recovered june here! i have some small announcements to make:

firstly, thank you everyone for the extremely kind messages and patience when it came to the delay of the 3rd chapter of the color blue. I'm very grateful to have the community that I have 😭!!!!! I will be posting the new release date after it's fully edited. currently not sure when that will be but hopefully sooner than later.

something completely unrelated is that I decided I will be multifandom. in addition to genshin, I will also be writing for jjk and haikyuu (and a few other things here and there). I'm very excited!
