@sonicmega Imagine getting mad that someone took a break from the regularly scheduled programming to be like "hey check out these candles" real quick

@AwfulFantasy This account gives me life

@AwfulFantasy Honestly this has the same energy as "she breasted boobily to the stairs"

@SmallBuStudio Thank your for this amazing work of art, the second the stream I was watching ended I texted my sister to make her play it! (I was the one who made the comment about oversharing 😂)

I like to think that my description skills are more capable of making these elemental monsters seem scary than my drawing skills #WritingCommunity #spookymonth #derp

Family disagreements in fiction: drama, dysfunction, tearful reconciliation

Family disagreements in real life:

[Clare Urbanski @ClareUrbanski]

Daily reminder that "it's not real" isn't a good reason to ignore problematic stuff in movies/books/etc.

Someone wrote it, people were entertained by it, and it stuck in people's minds. Fiction that's 100% disconnected from reality doesn't exist.

Just in case anyone ever accuses me of being harsher on others in editing #WritingCommunity #amediting

@luca_starks This is way too relatable

Sisters in fiction: "We have the power of sisterhood forever and nothing will change that"

My actual sisters: "If you fart on me I will literally murder you"

Mildly surprised this is the first time it's happened to me, but I have a character who's an alcoholic and I put off doing research because I just KNOW I'm going to get targeted help ads now. #WritingCommunity #writerproblems

When it comes to arguing and confessing secrets, what's actually going on in someone's head is usually pretty different from what they THINK is going on—which is also pretty different from what they're usually willing to tell anyone else about. #writingtips #WritingCommunity

@matthewbeechr Wow this "linguist friend" sounds like a real jerk

[Clare Urbanski @ClareUrbanski]

Noticed a couple reviews saying my Kindle files were corrupted. Panicked. Then saw reviews were "posted" several years before the book's publication date.

There was also a similarly suspicious 5-star review. I reported that one too, just to prove I don't report bad reviews. 😂

[Clare Urbanski @ClareUrbanski]

I'd say this goes for emotions too! #WritingCommunity #writingtip

#WritingCommunity Has anyone else ever continually had to rewrite a scene being like "Nope that would kill the protagonists too" every time or is it just me

[Clare Urbanski @ClareUrbanski]

@Precooled_joe My question isn't so much that as what kind of precedent this is setting for the Internet. I'm not sure if it's genuinely helpful to people with certain types of trauma or not, and I'm also not sure if it's enough to constitute censorship or not.

[Clare Urbanski @ClareUrbanski]

Genuine question for Twitter... I'm seeing some sites censoring the words "death" and "die," even in goofy memes or figurative phrases like "when the laughter died down." I'm wondering how normal this is now and what others' thoughts are.
