Listening To Malevolent In My Computer Class And It Really Sets The Mood For Getting Frustrated Tryna

So I’m watching Welcome to Night Vale episode 44 and like Cecil is explaining why he’s selling Girl Scout cookies, but like- it sounds like he’s implying that Steve Carlsberg is his Niece’s stepfather? Making Steve Carlsberg Cecil’s brother-in-law? But like that also raises some questions about the relationship because it either means

a) Cecil has a sister who got married twice (seems unlikely considering I’ve heard nothing of a sister)

b) Cecil’s brother got married and than left the picture and he stayed in contact with his sister-in-law who got remarried to Steve Carlsberg

c) Cecil has no relation and possibly just hates Steve Carlsberg that much

Answers probably exist but then again this is Night Vale and I’m lazy :/

(also like I wanna explore dynamics with shadow milk cookie like with other characters ? ? ? I think it'd be fun too.)

So I’m listening to TMA again as one does and I’m on episode 19 and 20 (bundling them because it’s a two parter) and like first of all the voice that the priest guy heard was obviously mother of puppets right? And so then the skin thing happens, which is gross but like- that’s the flesh. And we know that to do a ritual you need the catalyst to be marked by all the fears, and for the watchers crown that’s Jon but for the apotheosis of the web (which the whole reason I’m doing this re-listen is because that was a thing in the fanfic Right By Them by Esperosis on ao3 ((so good I recommend so many)) which may wayyyy to much sense, to the point where I was like— I tuned out half of Annabel Cane’s whole thing at the end of season 5 mostly cause I didn’t get it, so this very well could be an actual thing that I’ve just completely missed? So I’m going on an adventure to find out

The thing about ADHD is that the "lack of reward chemicals in your brain" doesn't just mean that you don't want to do any tasks that don't feel particularly yummy :(, it means that your brain will look at chores and tasks that need to be done like "doing this would be painful and tedious for absolutely nothing to gain from it, Do Not Do That." The same thing that your brain tells you about everything else that would feel really bad and hurt the entire time that you're dying. The part of your brain that stops you from doing the thing is the same part that keeps you from shoving your arm into a wood chipper.

With unmedicated, unmanaged ADHD, "I have to do this assignment or I fail and my life will be ruined and I die" feels like a SAW trap, every single time.

Encouragment for writers that I know seems discouraging at first but I promise it’s motivational-

• Those emotional scenes you’ve planned will never be as good on page as they are in your head. To YOU. Your audience, however, is eating it up. Just because you can’t articulate the emotion of a scene to your satisfaction doesn’t mean it’s not impacting the reader. 

• Sometimes a sentence, a paragraph, or even a whole scene will not be salvagable. Either it wasn’t necessary to the story to begin with, or you can put it to the side and re-write it later, but for now it’s gotta go. It doesn’t make you a bad writer to have to trim, it makes you a good writer to know to trim.

• There are several stories just like yours. And that’s okay, there’s no story in existence of completely original concepts. What makes your story “original” is that it’s yours. No one else can write your story the way you can.

• You have writing weaknesses. Everyone does. But don’t accept your writing weaknesses as unchanging facts about yourself. Don’t be content with being crap at description, dialogue, world building, etc. Writers that are comfortable being crap at things won’t improve, and that’s not you. It’s going to burn, but work that muscle. I promise you’ll like the outcome.

my favorite pass time is coming up with a really stupid idea and committing so hard to it.

love the thing where typically masculine characters get mistaken for being butch, very funny to me

more of my incoherent ramblings under the cut

poly ancients is fucking hilarious to me okay, I can't stop thinking about these old people

Magnus Archives Spin The Wheel Game:

You are being hunted down by this entity for a week straight. That means you are being hunted by manifestations of this entity and might find yourself in similar situations to past statement givers.
