I often think about how loneliness is a more powerful emotion in theatre because you’re in a room full of people who all powerless to do anything but watch and I saw Eva Noblezada as Eurydice in Hadestown the other day and I cannot get her guttural “is anybody listening” out of my mind, she was screaming for someone to listen and you’re sat there mere metres away unable to let her know that you are, that her story is being told and she matters, so many people are listening but she doesn’t know that

do you know what is killing my vira lata syndrome with dealing with all this bullshit?

is that with brazilian beurocracy, even if theres a lot of bullshit when dealing with it, people are very througout. as in. if you have task to complete, they will often give you the step by step like ok first youre gonna do this, then this then that. bc we know we want to make sure that the other person is not going to fuck this up. these brits tho, they want me to do stuff but then do specify how to do it and im like bitch im not from there i dont know how these things work why is it so hard for you to give me a fucking step by step.

I've never watched a show as queer as IWTV that gets cishet men into such a tizzy over the ships, specifically. Guy on the left was DISGUSTED by the "love of my life" line and didn't buy it for a moment, like --

YT: Badd Medicine (wrestlers react channel)

never going to be normal about this show

Tumblr Fanfic Etiquette

A/N: I was not planning on posting this but I've been seeing a lot of hate in multiple fandoms, which prompted me to create this. Hopefully this educates people/newer users and prevents anymore hate from circling. Also please feel free to reblog or add on if you'd like to.

NO hateful messages. That's gotta be number 1. I don't care what you didn't like about the fic. Unfollow the writer or scroll past it. Do not spend your day/night leaving a hateful message because you didn't like X, Y, or Z. Just move on. It's not worth it and at the end of day, solves nothing.

Do not pressure writers to update a series or to write more. We all have a life outside of tumblr and you really don't know who's struggling with their mental health and who's not. -- Instead, opt for encouraging words like. "Hi. Just wanted to say I love your writing and can't wait to read more from you!" This let's them know you love their work without pressure.

If the writer specifically did not ask for it, DO NOT give them constructive criticism on a story or their writing in general. This is very, very rude. And even though your intentions might be pure, it's insulting.

If a writer has posted a standalone fic, please do not pressure them for a sequel. Especially if you didn't even reblog or give them any kind of feedback. Another option would be: "Hi. I really liked [name of fic]. Do you have any plans to turn [name of fic] into a sequel?

Do not befriend a fanfic author just because you think they can get your work more likes/reblogs/feedback, etc. No one likes to be used. This is just really shitty. Befriend people on here because you like them. Not because of what they can do for you.

Likes are nice, but reblogs are better. If you really like the author's writing, share their work or tell them via their ask box/dms how much it meant to you. Takes a second but means a lot.

If a fic author has a warning asking minors to not interact, respect it. Wait until your of age or find writers who are minors. Fanfic writers come in all sorts of age groups.

okay okay what's your least favourite 'classic' novel you ever read. i'm curious xx

i saw a post the other day about consumerisimg and people who buy a bunch of books and how it doesnt make sense to buy a book that you'll only read once people need to use libraries more yada yada but also like. im gonna be honest. the books I want to read are not available in the libraries of where i live. the libraries here are all those really old ass libraries that only keep old ass books. or its the library from the university which will only have books that are for research. or law books. there isnt really a library like the ones i see from usamericans on the internet where they have contemporary books and all that. and also the ones in my city are really far away from where i live so it would be a whole issue for me to go there to get a book. and like i know plenty of other people from other places in the world that dont have access to libraries.

and like yeah i can read it on pdfs. except that i really struggle with reading things digitally, in recent times ive had an easier time reading with physical books.

i do think however, if you have to buy books, its cheaper and better to buy second hand ones. its not too hard to find ones in a good state.

It is still sooooooo fucking funny that tumblr, the "fuck that old man" website, the villain apologist website, AND the paranormal boyfriend website read Dracula and went "Count Dracula sucks, we hate this dude." Planetary alignment levels of unlikely.

Trying to explain even one ounce of class/caste/ethnic/religious dynamics in South Asia to somebody completely removed from it is so humbling like sometimes I forget how cartoonishly insane all of it is. The racism factory that churns out new types of racisms
