Fanfiction is such a great way to learn how to write. Like, you get to take these worlds and these characters created by other people, and you can play with them and explore them in ways that interest you, focusing on building your skills in dialogue, interaction, genre conventions and so forth, without having to worry about building the backstory for it yourself. That’s such a valuable thing.

Don’t let anyone tell you that fanfiction is less-than, because it’s one of the best tools out there for learning how to do the detail work of writing without having to concern yourself with the broad strokes (yet).

The good thing about first drafts: you can put off figuring out worldbuilding details, character and place names, and other peripheral stuff to the second draft

The bad thing about first drafts: you can put off figuring out worldbuilding details, character and place names, and other peripheral stuff to the second draft

Listen. I'm old and I've been doing this a long damn time. Writing is not a science. Are you someone who can write on a deadline? Someone who word counts and sprints and has goals and tracks their progress? Good for you, you funky lil star.

Are you someone who writes when the mood takes them? Who flies out of bed in the middle of the night to jot down a scene? Who can go weeks writing nothing and then spew out 10k of glorious beauty in three hours? Way to go, you fucking gem.

Don't let the culture of writing stop you from writing. Don't let people tell you the 'right way' to write.

Defend your art and the way you do it.

what people think is hard about writing: describing the joy, love, beauty, grief, loss and hope that form the richness of human experience

what is actually hard about writing: describing basic actions such as turning, leaning over, reclining, gesturing, saying something in a quiet voice, breathing, getting up from chairs, and walking across rooms

To all the 13 year olds out there being viciously mocked online by other 13 year olds for being into stuff I've never heard of, hang in there, one day you'll be like 30 and be like "what on earth are all these 13 year olds viciously mocking each other online about, I've literally never heard of that" and yes it IS as great as it sounds

asexuality is not just a lack of sexual desire

asexuality is trying to fit in in a world where sex dominates almost every aspect of life and media

asexuality is constantly being told ‘you just havent found the right one yet’

asexuality is being confused and left out of conversations because you dont understand what people mean when they talk about sex

asexuality is people making assumptions about and talking about your sexuality

asexuality is growing up trying to force yourself into having crushes to ‘fit in’ and seem normal

asexuality is realising people were actually serious when they said theyd sleep with someone

asexuality is being asked personal questions you dont even know the answers too

asexuality is people thinking youre just another made up label

asexuality is being scared to come out because people dont understand what it means

asexuality is not knowing where you fit in any community

asexuality is people assuming you cant have a relationship or assuming your romantic orientation

asexuality comes in many types and is not restricted to any orientation of person

we are strong. we are human. we are ace.

asexuality is real + valid. spread the word ♥️

You are at Buffalo Exchange looking through the men’s tees, suddenly a strange “Wololo” catches your eye. You take a closer look and absorb the whole image; An eyeless Monk carrying a mighty tome open to an unknown passage and wielding a Shepherds Crook high above his head. He speaks in a Holy tongue unfamiliar to a heathen like yourself. A moment passes. It occurs to you that you recognize this Holy Man. It can’t be, you think to yourself, Is this an Age of Emperors II Definitive Edition tee shirt? You quickly turn the shirt over, desperate to know the truth and there it is, proudly emblazened across the back of the shirt: AGE OF EMPERORS II DEFINITIVE EDITION. You audibly gasp and rush to check the price tag– $5.00 USD. The small red “sale” stamp practically glows. You nervously ask the girl behind the desk if five dollars is the sale price, “Everything on sale is 50% off the tag price!!!” She beams, happy to help but blissfully unware of the unbridled joy she just bestowed upon you. $2.50!!!! For an ominous nonsensical tee shirt from one of the first video games you ever played, all of your problems are solved; Your mental health improves, you are given a raise at work, you and your friends schedules finally align so you can hangout. You buy the shirt and all is good.

Admin Didi adds: I had like 500 hours in that game and would have WOLOLOLOOOOOOed the whole way home and drove everyone nuts if I found this.

I may be an absolute disaster of an adult but when someone younger than me asks for advice I turn into a Wise Professor

when you forget to read the tags on a fanfic:

i dont really know if this is Hashtag Relatable or if it’s just a me problem, but i’ve been running into it a TON since switching to setting my own schedule at home a few months ago

sometimes you do have to work your days off. that’s just how life is. but this becomes a problem for me bc i struggle to work my day off when im tired, and only get Some work done, then the next day i go “well you still didn’t work a full day yesterday,” etc etc…. see?

it turns into a vicious cycle where next thing i know, it’s been like 2 weeks of me burning myself out and i can’t remember the last time i actually took a full day off. so for me it’s important to respect my days off as a time to regroup so i can get my shit together and start doing better again, not something i have to sacrifice to make up for poor performance

What I mean when I say I like a villain:

I like their story

I like their motivations

I like their skills/powers

I like their intelligence

I like their quotes

I find them interesting

I like their relationship with other character(s)

What I definitely don’t mean when I say I like a villain:

“They’re just misunderstood”

I’m defending every single one of their actions and I think they’re 100% innocent

I’m a dumbass who doesn’t know that they’re a villain
