Speaking specifically for spec fic here: I can understand having a maximum word count limit for debut novels, but I don’t get enforcing a minimum word count limit. The only justification I’ve seen for this (not that I’ve dug too deeply into the subject) is “we don’t believe it’s possible for any story under X amount of words to contain adequate worldbuilding” how do you explain Westmark

#I think about this all the time I’m sorry #I can appreciate that established authors have more leeway (see: Martha Wells) but of all industry rules #this one really gets me #yes I take personal umbrage because my books tend to be shorter #but so are a LOT of the books I love #word count is not indication of word efficiency #and for some reason Lloyd Alexander’s Westmark trilogy ALWAYS comes to mind here #that trilogy DESTROYED me and all three books together are shorter than one B Sanderson.book #Sanderson wasted like 20k words on training montages meanwhile Alexander’s pulled off a whole war and several major character deaths #the older I get the less I want to be published man #it’s about market trends and fast fiction and buzzwords and everything that squashes actual creativity and community #also no place for weird ugly recluses #hard pass y’all can read my stuff for free (if you want) and I get just as much enjoyment out of sharing #(sorry it’s late and I just opened up a 900-page book)#mine

i say i like tragedies and everyone’s all like ‘why do you like sad stories? are you depressed?’ and never ‘how was the catharsis? was the catharsis fun?’

#i don’t know how to explain this to normal people 😭😭#for the record my coworkers didn’t directly question me on this #but i think i have vastly overestimated the amount of the population who is aware of like. Films.#NOT claiming that i have seen a lot - but i’ve mentioned three *REALLY* well-known films in the past four days #and got blank stares each time #the one of them was a REALLY good reference too… someday my top-notch association skills will be recognized #my first act as Mansion Acquaintance of the [redacted] Director will be to force everyone to watch a 40s romcom i didn’t even like #i’m getting off the point #the POINT is that It’s About The Catharsis

ekko describing jinx from his timeline to powder as someone who's just different but whose ideas change the world. jayce saying to machine herald!viktor that his imperfections are a part of everything that made him so admirable. powder getting mesmerized when she sees different timeline!ekko before he leaves. jayce building his whole life around the idea he got from different timeline!viktor when he saved him. love does transcend reality after all

#sorry for arcaneposting. really didn't expect it would hit me this bad #and like. with the parts i didn't care about as much in s1 #it really took one episode to sell me timebomb. two to make me more than casual jayvik enjoyer #and i'm usually a hater of alternative timeline/reality plotlines because they often get too convoluted and messy #but oh boy did they make it beautiful enough to make me forget to care about logic and continuity. idgaf honestly. i love that love is real #jayvik #timebomb #arcane #arcane spoilers #arcane s2 spoilers

seriously have been thinking about this all night long. call me autistic but the fact that 90% of workplaces the point is not to get your work done and then be done doing it but to instead perform an elaborate social dance in which you find something to do even when you're done doing everything you need to do in order to show your fellow workers that you, too, are Working . because you are at Work . disgusting why cant we all agree that if there is no work immediately to be done. we just dont do anything

#i personally like to not be doing things constantly at all times. it stresses me out #i know there are ppl who thrive on cosntant activity #but me i like to chill out.#and the problem then becomes that i only ACTIVELY remember to do work and Find More Work To Do when im stressed #at the thought that others might want to see me working #if im ever relaxed i just dont look for stuff to do #catch 22 of modern work culture which permeates even ostensibly noncapitalist structures like public libraries #for instance: will it really kill anybody if the books get shelved by me now after a very busy day?#or shelved tomorrow morning by. well probably me since i'll be the one at the desk #not in the slightest #but it was work that wasnt being immediately done by me. therefore it was incorrect behavior #that i failed to identify because my instinct is to relax when not immediately presented with a Situation #this got me labeled as 'having no initiative' by my dad from a very early age #and even as an adult i still feel like im a child with no initiative

the high guards littlest fan

#bumblebee #b 127 #soundwave #shockwave #transformers one #transformers #the high guard #i think its really funny that this iteration of bee doesnt really care about being small #like tfa bee gets all mad and aggro about it but b127 is just like 'cos u guys a bigger than me! u know what i mean u know what i mean'#i do think hed be like “why didnt i grow 😧” after everyone gets their cogs though LOOOL #funfact bee WITH a cog is only like a bit taller than d16 WITHOUT a cog #dee is like so huge though #keegan michael key said that his fave transformer is soundwave #and he actually improved the voice he does when bee says his nickname off of soundwaves voice #and that he really like shis voice #so of course im making bee soundwave fan number 1
