(Not My Gifs)

• Use the hand you write with.

• Make a fist with your thumb outside, not tucked inside. If it’s tucked inside your fist, when you punch someone, you might break your thumb. The thumb goes across your fingers, not on the side.

• Don’t be like in the movies—don’t aim for the face. Face punches don’t usually stop people, and you can miss when they duck their head or break your hand on their jaw. If you want to get away quickly, or end a fight, aim for the chest, or the ribs. If you really want to do some damage, e.g., you’re being attacked, aim for the throat, which will make it hard for your attacker to breathe for a hot minute.

• When you punch, you want to aim and hit with your first two knuckles. Not the flats of your fingers, and not your ring or pinky knuckles, which can break more easily. You can use your weight, if you’re on your feet, to add wallop, and spring into a punch with your feet and torso.

Characters Bottling Emotions

@knightedwriter asked: “I have this character who gets into a stressful situation and has a history of emotional abuse. He bottles his emotions. I’m having a lot of trouble figuring out how he should respond to situations, especially as his stress builds and he starts to break. He’s not the POV character.” 

I’ve gotten similar questions more than a few times recently and I think there’s something to be said for characters who don’t wear their heart on their sleeves are harder to write about when it comes to showing emotion.

Writing Playlists

While writing, I often listen to music. Here are a few of my current playlists in use! I am personally a big fan of instrumental playlists so those included here are solely instrumental.

It’s a bit of a throwback, but I thought I’d share these. I made instrumental writing playlists. 

Reblog to save a Muslim

As you probably know, Punish A Muslim day is coming up on the third of April. Any Muslim who lives in England is in danger so please stay home. Don’t send your children to school.

“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”

Can anybody point me towards somewhere where I can get a comprehensive summary of the Ingress plot/lore so far?

My Shitty Brother

My shitty little brother (Who is 11) has struck again.

He said that I was semi-gay. I identify as queer/part of the LGBT community, as I can’t seem to find a label that fits me. He won’t seem to understand that gay and every other orientation are different things. He then proceeded to say these things:

- “You gay fuck!”

- “You gay motherfuckers!”

- “Move it, your gayness!”

- “Move your butt, your gayness!”

Heavy sigh

@staff are you fucking kidding me right now?! You’re limiting text posts to 100 text blocks (aka paragraphs). What the absolute fuck.

Since you couldn’t take out fanfic writers with the purge so you’re just fucking up formatting for text posts until they leave? Is that your plan?

MY BROTHER JUST SAID THAT GIRLS DON'T HAVE GENITALS. WHAT.
