Meant to post when I hit 500 but went a little over lmao. So here's the 528 albums I've heard over the last 4 years ranked from best to worst

also love island is not dumb tv if you watch it correctly. it’s a behavioral study and we are the researcher. each vote on the silly little app will either drop a piece of cheese for the islanders or zap them w cattle prods

Acting as if there is no future and the world is definitely ending is an extremely good way to avoid feeling accountable for things but unfortunately you guys are still going to be around in your 70's too, and the world will be way worse by then because you preemptively gave up.

you know sometimes I think I am too hard on myself when it comes to world building

The beautiful thing about the ogre meme imo is that all of the anxiety is coming from a genuine effort to engage with the work. It is admirable to be Ogre. In college the class Ogre during literature courses was a crucial participant cause they would always ask the best questions

I love Max Payne 3 so much, he'll be doing a make-work bodyguard job while surrounded by beautiful people and free drinks and be like "this was the worst day of my life"

i wanna say a game putting you in the shoes of this aspirationally cool character and challenging you to live up to that energy by slowly and surely building up the necessary skill is actually one of the better uses of storytelling context

Also no my page is not a safe space to shit on fanfic prose. Every single writer regardless of the medium starts with fanfic prose LMFAO!!! useless metaphors, excessive imagery, useless information. Thats literally how a person starts developing a narrative voice!!!

[🥄 @ironicspoons]

bad writing is how you get good at writing. the more you discourage people from writing what they want or scare them about “fanfic prose” the more you are depriving the world of art. One cannot have their cake and eat it too. Go open that doc if you want good fanfic. Come on.

[Loppy Rae: BRB! 💫 @LoppyRae]

This whole “you can absolutely tell when you’re reading a fanfic because of the prose” discussion is so dumb and pretentious.

I can tell when I’m reading a fanfic because I purposely clicked on a goddamn fanfic on the Fanfic Website.

Travis Touchdown was 30 in No more heroes 2 I’ll be ok

[powerful fiend @eccozones]

No offence, but retaining plot and lore details of something is not actually important. Like at all.

Art is about how it emotionally resonates with you, it makes you feel things. The idea that you need to partake in social rituals and play memory games is odd!

important writing advice: your shit needs conflict in order to be interesting, and you cannot have conflict if everyone perfectly articulates their feelings and makes all the right choices. make your characters do awful shit and bend over backwards to justify it to themselves.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

[C. J. Tudor @cjtudor]

For what it's worth - I believe that if you use AI to brainstorm ideas for your book, plan chapters, help with structure, edit, create dialogue, make story suggestions or ANY part of the creative writing process you are a hack and a fraud. You are not an author.

[Charles Austin @charlesraustin]

In the original manga, Austin Powers had an older brother named Hiroyuki Powers who was killed during the Fat Bastard arc

hence why so many men are shocked, upset and defensive of him, they don’t see anything wrong with being a bystander because if they had to confront a problem with that they’d have to look at themselves in the mirror and realize they’re wrong too

Before I learned to cook steak I thought it was a task only for smart people based on how seriously it was talked about. Then I cooked and realized steaks are almost impossible to fuck up, and very forgiving. This has also been my experience reading so called "difficult" fiction.

[LiveRobo @kawoshiki]

how it feels saying "Rockman" instead of "Mega Man"
