when I was a kid I thought the weather guy on TV controlled the weather and he was just telling us what he was gonna do for the next few days. when he said "30% chance of rain Thursday" I thought he was just guessing how likely it was he'd wake up in a rain mood that morning

Tell me more about your dnd character lobster!! 🦞

ok so lobster is a ~1ft 9 (~53cm) kobold whos the 15th in line to the throne of dragon france (long story) and shes a rogue

swords are too long for him so he uses daggers and calls them "stumpswords" and because of rogue bullshittery and a nice DM he has 4 of them (3 now because he lost one)

uhhhhh i love this little guy so much but i have less concrete thoughts about them and more "i wanna punt you (heart emoji)"

game/world questions should be mroe directed at @freepdryer (my dm) if ur curious (and you should its amazing we're currently trapped (?) underground on bridges sorrounded by books and the floor just fell out and also there living mechs and shit)

wait do people read first person stories and think they're the ones in the story???

Saw people talking about not liking first person, which is fair, but their reasoning was like "I would not do that" and I don't understand that mindset.

First person stories are still about a character. A character making their own decisions. First person isn't about you???? At least I thought it wasn't. What am I missing? I've always seen first person as just a more in-depth look into a character's mind and stricter POV. Not as a reader stand-in.

this has reduced me to tears

The author's poorly disguised fetish

The author's proudly displayed fetish

The author's fetish you're pretty sure they don't realise they have

The author's fetish which they're firmly convinced everyone has and is just pretending otherwise

The author's non-sexual special interest which just sounds like a fetish because of their habitually unfortunate phrasing

The fetish the author is making a well-meaning effort to cater to in spite of clearly not understanding it themselves

The author's fetish that never quite makes it into the text because they keep getting sidetracked by the requisite worldbuilding

The author's utterly pedestrian sexual preference which the text treats like a bizarre fetish because they've got shit to work through

The author's seemingly innocuous recurring trope they're going to have a personal revelation about ten years down the road

The author's fetish you missed on a first reading because it's so far out of pocket, it never occurred to you that you could sexualise that

the thing is, i think horror needs to have a little love. it needs to have an obsession. does the parasite in your body love you? it raises you from the dead, it sustains you. this is its body. this is your body. does the haunted house feel intruded upon? is it hungry? what is hatred but adoration?

How do you write (relatively normal I think) levels of sexuality from the male POV without scaring the hoes? Like if you wrote what's going on in a guy's head honestly, people would be repulsed, think the character's a depraved pervert.

Whole-heartedly BEGGING writers to unlearn everything schools taught you about how long a paragraph is. If theres a new subject, INCLUDING ACTIONS, theres a new paragraph. A paragraph can be a single word too btw stop making things unreadable
