[image id: AO3 tag that reads “i said there would be no angst. i lied” end id]

There's so interesting bc I always saw it as:

Third life - Summer

Last life - Autumn

Double life - Spring (but in that way where it's sometimes really warm and then the next day it snows)

Limited life - Summer

i LOVE the headcanon of the different life series taking place in different seasons, and i especially love last life taking place during winter. something about having to trek through the snow and freezing cold alone, being practically hunted by the boogeyman. wowww.

is the world really such a terrible place? yesterday i asked if oat milk was extra and the barista said yes so i said ok just regular milk then and when she gave me my chai latte she whispered “i used oat milk ;)” doesnt that make u want to live another day?

BEHOLD the fic that caused @morroswaterbucket to spew water from their eyes like Poseidon's gift to the Athenians

*reads my own fic to figure out what the fuck I wrote* hehe nice

oh I wasn’t aware it was feeding the ai. I’ve inserted hundreds of fics into chatgpt for their continuation or for a different plot within the same context just for fun and out of curiosity… but I’ve never posted any of them…

Indeed, anything that is given to AI it can use later to draw from. That's why it doesn't matter if you post them or not as it has now access to those writers' texts without their permission.

So you DO

"Do you like this character?🥺?" I want to see him sobbing and writhing in a ditch. Leave me alone

AO3, Basic Logic, God, Everyone: You posted a chapter five minutes ago, and should get comments gradually over the next few hours! Me, .5 seconds after posting, sitting with my face pressed up against my AO3 inbox: commente

You’re not a real gamer unless you’ve wasted countless hours of your life purposefully walking in the wrong direction to make sure you’re not missing any content

"you read a lot, right?"

"yes!"

"what are some books you've read recently?"

"uhh i don't remember"

do u ever get a comment on a fic thats just so sweet that ur like Maybe slaving over 24k of fanfiction was worth it for user SprinkleTrashcan2012 to leave a three paragraph comment

How do you do the cute eye shine thing?

this reply is propably very late, sorry about that

Someone yells at Lance to switch. He changes to Hanzo/Ashe.

Pidge would play as Mercy but only as a battle mercy, no healing

Voltron team playing Overwatch just because

Keith: edgy Reaper main. Always sticks to the classic skin. 21+ hours on Reaper. Doesn’t understand why people call him edgelord for it. Unironically uses the highlight intro where Reaper draws his finger over his neck.

Lance: mains as Widowmaker and is actually pretty good at sniping. Still would choose Widowmaker even though there’s already 3 on the team. Never stays on the payload.

Hunk: the Good Citizen Overwatch Player™. Says Hello to his teammates every round, protects the healer, and always congratulates the winning team. Pretty versatile but mains as Zarya.

Pidge: Nerf this

Allura: A beast at Pharah. Can use rocket barrage without dying most of the time. Always yelling at the others to move the payload. Has to defend the point by herself.

Coran: The camping Bastion. Doesn’t even know why people call him an asshole for it.

Shiro: The one that begrudgingly switches to Mercy or Zenyatta because no one else wants to heal. Cries in silence as his teammates all abandon him and he fends for himself. Gets POTG anyways. Wants to use Genji. Already level 100 by the first week he gets the game. Hasn’t slept at all.

You might have thought card sharks and loan sharks were named after the predatory fish, but apparently there’s a decent chance it’s the other way around from an old Dutch word meaning “person that takes unfair advantage of other people”. Before that they were known in English as a haye or dogfish, which means sometime in the ~1400s enough English sailors started saying “don’t get in the water, it’s infested with those jerks”

Completely obsessed with ‘lim-life / the life series being a bunch of kids just playing in the playground’ idea

the sheer offensiveness of rereading something you wrote, discovering that, hey, it’s actually pretty good, and then reaching the end, wherein you realize that if you want more you actually have to write it

Help me find a fic

Okay so it's a Dream SMP multiverse/time travel fic that starts with Tommy or Tubbo in a kinda time loop and they try to fix things and they eventually realise that the other is doing it too.

Each chapter end with a numbered list of each timeline in the author notes.

They continue trying to get the Best Possible Outcome and sometimes only one of them is "awake" and then they find the best sequence of events that lets them play around with it a little.

Then they notice some other stuff happening that didn't happen in the original timeline and it turns out ConnorEatsPants is sometimes Awake too.

More people "wake up" and they start to end up in alternate timelines and universes and it gets revealed that the world tree is under maintenance by the gods so they've put everything in time loops and Tommy and Tubbo are the "pillars" keeping the SMP stable (which is why one or both of them are always "awake").

The "branch" of the tree they are on contains all the Minecraft stuff with Steve and Alex being the oldest and they are a part of an offshoot of which Aphmau is the oldest.

It gets explained that Dream will never "wake up" at risk of causing problems to the world tree (which has already happened to other universes and beloved media characters, like Billy and Mandy)

As they start crossing over a bunch all the characters become OP in different ways and there's a bunch of found family and fluff. Puffy gets a pocket dimension that she fills with ships of all kinds (like The Black Pearl and The Enterprise). Tommy and Tubbo both end up with a couple hundred copies of the real discs and love to use them to me with Dream. Tommy collects music and gets lots of fire and lightning powers. Tubbo impresses Batman.

At one point they end up in an Elevator that sends them to different places and times within the timelines and they basically just vibe and they meet Manhunt!Dream and help him out. They meet a Fundy and (someone else? Jack/Quackity) who try to warn them about something but get cut off when The Elevator leaves. They brush it off as a part of the canon timeline they'd interrupted.

After Ranboo shows up and wakes up (Tubbo feels weird about the whole marriage thing in the canon timeline) Dream eventfully find out about the time loops/dimension travel and hides messages in Ranboo's code for himself and he almost becomes a big problem for the world tree but they stop him when they realise, after which the God in charge of maintaining their branch pops by again to try and work out a solution and they suggest waking up Manhunt!Dream.

It works.

When Fundy wakes up some of the Older Crew randomly appear in front of him and he tries to warn them about Dream. He gets cut off.

Reasons to Kill Your Characters

Killing your characters at the right time (and having a reason behind it) is important. Here are some reasons behind why you might want to kill a character or two.

1) It can serve as poetic justice. This is when the bad guys are punished and the good guys are rewarded. When the antagonistic force finally gets what they deserve, it can satisfy the reader. If you’ve ever watched Game of Thrones, you know how angering it is when the bad guys always preserver. Giving them a well-deserved demise can be like lemonade on a blistering hot day for your reader.

2) Can death strengthen your current theme? Is your theme love, friendship, betrayal, good vs. evil, survival, etc.? Death can be used to intensify each and every theme. Someone who’s afraid to love because of past loss, a friendship bond broken by a death, a betrayer killing your protagonist’s friend. 

3) It can develop your protagonist and advance the plot. While you might not want to necessarily kill a character for the sole purpose of hurting your protagonist, if the death does achieve that, you’re developing them! Does this death motivate them to push forward? Does it put a hole in their plan? Create new conflict? Deaths can be great for moving the plot forward or putting obstacles in the way of your cast.

4) Killing certain characters can bring closure to their story/arc. Sometimes death can be the best way to end an arc. Depending on who the character is, after they’ve served their purpose to the story, is it better to let them linger, have their story continue off page somewhere or to kill them?

5) Death can build tone. If your tone tone is happy and lighthearted then this isn’t for you. However, if the tone you’re going for is tragic, dark and/or dreary… death can intensify that vibe. (Not just the death of characters… but the death of a time period, happiness, animals, flowers, etc.)

6) Death adds realism. Loss is apart of life (sadly). Is it actually realistic for everyone to survive at the end of an epic fantasy journey? Especially when most of them are novices learning along the way, running into skilled villains, dangerous creatures and mysterious illnesses? Death comes and goes whenever, wherever. This unexpected element can add realism to your story.

7) Shock the characters and your reader. This one is risky. You’ve probably heard it before– killing a character out of the blue with no foreshadowing or reasoning can upset the reader. However, you can still have an abrupt death that has meaning. A selfish (yet beloved) character who suddenly sacrifices himself for another. He wasn’t expected to die, but the way he did had meaning.

Obsessed with the ornithologist (Mario Cohn-Haft) who heard a birdsong he didn’t recognize in 1988, predicted that the song was made by a new species of bird, and then spent the next 25 years looking for it before finally discovering evidence for the previously undescribed species in 2013. I’m pretty sure this excerpt from the paper is academia speak for “FUCK yeah I totally called it I knew this bird was out there”

The man did one of the most badass things you can do in biology and predicted the discovery of an animal species (which I like to call “pulling a Darwin’s Hawkmoth”) and he has every right to flex by naming his new species the Predicted Antwren! Look how cute this elusive little creature is

this is like the dumbest thing in the world to write about a 24 yo with zero children who set out on a ridiculously dangerous expedition to record animal behaviour in the wild

I think Prodigy is going in the direction of "medusans are so beautiful that they break your mind" rather than hideous. Eldritch beauty. I mean just look at Zero - prettiest orb in the delta quadrant

god i need to know beyond anything else what age zero is emotionally. or physically. like no matter what age they are being taken from their hivemind and being used as a tool to brainwash slaves would be extremely traumatic but all i can think of is that the last time we saw a medusan on star trek, they had a name. but all zero has is “fugitive zero”. do they remember their hivemind? do they know what happened to it? do they miss it and wish they could give up this new family to go home?

how old is this orb

funniest thing about any scooby doo remake is when they make fred a mean jock when in reality he’s a mom friend
