Terfs Are Always Like "being A Woman Is About SUFFERING" Well I Think Being A Woman Is About Having Fun

"isnt bullying recognized as a form of abuse" the thing is, like, not broadly, societally speaking... i mean think of all the posts u see regularly that are like, "bring back bullying" etc. "everyone needs to get bullied a little it builds character." can u imagine people making these statements broadly about abuse? bring back abuse? abuse builds character? nah and that is because people do not think of bullying as abuse, they do not think of it as traumatic and i actually think this is in large part because it is seen as an issue that only affects children (not even true) and people still broadly feel that children's feelings and experiences do not matter

i made a guide for ppl

If you fucks actually go through with not voting on your next USA president elections and subsequently lead Trump to power again.

Yes. Yes I'm going to blame every single American for that. Collective responsibility and all that jazz.

A thread of writing tips

A year ago or so I asked you guys to send in your best writing tips. I've compiled a list of some of the responses below. Oh, let's just ignore that it's been a whole year.

1. Take writing advice with a grain of salt. Every writer’s brain is different. Every person’s life is different. Every creative style is different. What works for some people won’t work for another. On top of that, some advice is just plain not helpful in the first place. So try to limit how much writing advice you take in because it can leave you spinning like a top until you can’t tell which way is up. Read more, write more and you’ll figure out what works for you eventually. [from @the-writers-bookshelf]

2. If you ever get stuck, vent about it to a friend or a notes document until a way forward presents itself. [from @scarlet-curls]

3. Be gentle with yourself. If you push yourself too hard too fast, you’re going to burn out, and then you either won’t be able to write anything, or you’re not going to particularly enjoy it, because you’re trying squeeze the last drops of water from a dry sponge. If you are burnt out, give yourself time to fill back up. Absorb other people’s work as a reader, as a viewer, as a general consumer. Let it give you inspiration and enthusiasm about your work again, and then when you feel ready, go back to writing. A metaphor I liked is that creating is breathing out, and enjoying other’s mediums is breathing in. As you breathe in more, you’re probably going to get the desire to create, but if you only exhale, you might metaphorically pass out. [from @writing-with-olive]

4. Arrive late, leave early. That advice has really helped me cut the excess out of scenes, and find what's essential / what's really adding to the story. It also keeps you hanging on, feeling excited to write the next scene because you're not divulging too much. You're jumping in and out of situations that are hopefully interesting to the audience / reader, and exploring those scenes, fleshing them out, then moving on. It’s just about balancing when is the right moment to move on, the right moment to cut the dialogue etc. Lots of trial and error, there! [from @spejdeir]

5. Start with the big picture. Always start with a one sentence summary. You don’t need any more than that. A beginning, vague middle, and an end. THEN start adding details. That sentence becomes a paragraph, then a page, then ten pages, and eventually a book. But start with just one sentence. [from @mj-is-writing]

6. Visualize. So you know what's going to happen in your chapter/short story. A's gonna chat with B before they fight monsters and kiss. With more details of course. Before you even approach the keyboard I want you to visualize it. Watch it like a movie in your own head. Daydream the situation. I do it in the shower and before I fall asleep most regularly.

It helps work out the kinks, the awkward points, and makes sure the scene flows naturally. Oh you paused because feels disconnected? Better to fix it now before you had a whole few paragraphs written about this. It helps with my flow a bit and makes sure I really know what's going on. [from @fablesrose]

7. If you are trying to build a writing habit, have a fairly solid writing schedule. It could be every day, it could be writing every few days, it could be once a week. Each time, open up your WIP, and read the last few paragraphs. If you’re coming up on burnout and reaaaalllly don’t want to write, that’s okay. Don’t write for now. But there’s a difference between burnout and “meh I kinda don’t wanna,” and opening up your WIP forces you to at least show up, ruling out the second state of mind. And remember - if you do decide not to write, don’t beat yourself up about it. Taking a rest is the smart move. [from @writing-with-olive]

8. Read the dialogue out loud while editing :) [from @loki-hargreeves]

9. Mine is, the often parroted, read a lot and write a lot. Honestly, best way to find your own writing style is to find the techniques/tropes/kind of character arcs you like best in media, and practice different ways of putting them together. If you want something a little less over said, I’d say make sure you take some time to care of your physical and mental health. As a person whose struggled with this in the past, let me tell you, it affects your creativity and productivity waaay more than you might thing. [from @ren-c-leyn]

10. When you first write something, it's not gonna be perfect. And that's okay. What you wanna do is go back later and fix and/or revise anything that you feel needs that. Also, it's good to make a character have breaks in their own dialogue. Whether they lose their train of thought or simply forget a word, it's okay. If anything, it makes it seem more realistic. [from @thedragonemperess]

11. Write in the time of hour that works best for you. If you’re a morning person, write in the morning. I always write in late afternoon or evening when the house stars to get silent. The neighbors children gone to bed and maybe a little sound of the tv from neighboring is buzzing in the background. [from @tildathings]

12. Never feel bad about writing what you know about. That's not to say you have to write what you know about, but there's nothing wrong with drawing from your own experiences and things you're confident with to help the words flow. That, and don't worry about writing tips, just be you :-) [from @ncruuk]

13. The first draft of your writing doesn't have to be perfect. Just write what ever you want without caring about the grammar, vocabulary etc. [from @yoon2jk]

14. Writing is different for anybody. It can be fast for this entity, while it will kinda take a while for this person right 'ere. Take your time, if you rush yourself you're just gonna burn your inspiration and will only delay you from writing or even stop you completely. Write in your own pace, it can be months, or week, heck it could even be a few hours. Just write comfortably. [from @tayooh]

15. Write garbage, and write it all the time. Have a writing journal, or a folder on your computer for writing journaling. Do stream of consciousness, do prompts, write whatever stupid thing comes to mind, don’t vet it, don’t dismiss anything, just write it. Write a hundred words, a thousand, just write write write.

Chances are, none of this will make any progress on your WIPs, even if you’re writing about your OCs or scenes from/related to your WIPs. That isn’t the important part. The important part is that you’re training your brain to write more and write better. The more you write, the more willing you are to write garbage... the easier it is to write when you need to, the better the writing will be, because you’ve already been practicing and thinking about your writing techniques.

I don’t mean to say “real writers write every day” or anything, that’s not what this is. All I’m getting at is that the more you write the easier writing gets, and the more willing you are to write a hundred words of nonsense, the easier you’ll find it to write a thousand words of prose.[from @the-bard-writes]

A Series of Unfortunate Events is anarchist propaganda because all of the problems are caused by both capitalist bureaucracy and a weird insistence from everybody with power that “the rules,” no matter how silly, must be followed.

Even as someone who supports and actively encourages the reappropriation of memes in order to take away any power they had with right wing/neonazi fucks I think making “Make X Great Again” memes or doing edits of the red cap is not as useful as it may seems.

Some people say the Legend of Zelda series has too many different ancient sky-dwelling precursor civilisations. I say those people are cowards. The next Zelda game should feature the ruins of an ancient sky-dwelling precursor civilisation whose statues and murals all inexplicably look exactly like Tingle.

We understand. You found paradise on Tumblr, you had a good blog, you made a good following. Cringe culture protected you and there were bandwagons of ironic memes. And you didn’t need a fandom like us. But, now you come to us and you say - “Once-ler Fandom, come back to keep out Twitter users.” But you don’t ask with respect. You don’t offer friendship. You don’t even think to call us A Fandom Where People Had Legit Fun And Weren’t Harming Anyone. Instead, you come into our tags on the ten year anniversary that Gentleman Onceler was to be married, and you ask us How Bad Can It Be.

Sparkle on! It’s wednesday! Don’t forget to be yourself!

you heathens will reblog day specific posts any day of the week. i woke up thinking it was wednesday
