Maybe I hate 9-5’s so much because in the books I read the MC never said anything like: “I have to go save the world... but it’ll have to be done on Saturday because I work this week and I CAN’T be late on rent again...”
Who out there feels like they just fell into a career that millions work their whole lives to get into? (Not me just curious.)
Or has opportunities that many kill for? (Kinda me,still curious.) The world is a weird place. One human’s plan C is another’s dream job.
Blaming your inability to have a healthy relationship on your astrology sign instead of childhood trauma/mental illness is such a Sagittarius thing to do.
3 boys sit drinking in a desert 🏜 🐪
....
1 boy: “my glass is half full.”
2 boy: “really? Mine is half empty.”
3 boy: “really? Mine is completely full.”
@neilhimself Tastes vary and that's okay. But damn, I will never understand people who think your books, and especially Coraline, are difficult.
I hope I write books so good those people find and dislike mine too!
@stormrosewriter Note to self: Gnomes not nice people!! They will steal your tea!
Also, stay away from that Jimberly fellow! And find new socks.
New words: agromandilla? Fancy word for big spider I think. Bill mentioned them, quite like Bill.
To do list: find clean water! And the socks!
@stormrosewriter Although a character in their mid 40s transported to a fantasy world who has to take notes to keep up with said new fantasy world, would be hilarious!
@ghosthermione @kpsillustration @MerynLobb Yes totally agree with you! Maybe we need to have a good look back and find a few more ”classics” (at least in America), that are more diverse/historically important! With more open-minded authors! It sure is worse to see bigotry alive today and celebrated 😫
@ghosthermione @kpsillustration @MerynLobb Definitely diminishes it. Classics being old is only a partial excuse, in my opinion; some of them aren't as old as we think, and some were real fucked even for their time. I'm convinced H.P. Lovecraft would have been a racist even in 2020 🤔
@ChrissysSoul @MerynLobb I struggle with that! Lol I hate Orson scott card but damn I liked Enders Game before I knew about him, if I lost my copy I couldn’t buy another because I’d rather not send him the nickel.
@kpsillustration @MerynLobb Yeah, I think it diminishes the work, for sure! It's a tough one, but I think if we don't separate art from artist on some level we will have a lot less beautiful things 🤔 at least a majority of the classics, then again, as you say it depends on how much they suck 😭
@MerynLobb But I mean, does the author need to be a good person for the books to mean something to someone? Serious question, cuz idk the answer 😭 I guess I'm trying to fight for my HP tats; those books meant a lot to me in the dark days
