Reading my own fanfiction is basically just a rollercoaster of emotional whiplash.

20% of the time: “Hold on. I wrote this? This is fire. This is emotionally devastating in the best way. This scene is dripping with tension. I’m a literary perfectionist. Someone give me a book deal.”

80% of the time: “Straight to jail. Immediate prison. Why is everyone’s breath hitching?. I used the word ‘gaze’ three times in one paragraph like I was possessed. Did I think 'his eyes darkened' was profound? Why is everyone clenching their jaws? Why is someone whispering 'their name like a prayer' again?? No one talks like this. What is this dialogue. Why are there so many weird metaphors and em-dashes…”

me: So then we take the liquified wood pulp, and dry it again, into these thin sheets. caveman: [confused, but trying to keep up] uh huh. me: And we take the graphite stick - it doesn't need to be wrapped in wood like this, but we like making them this way so you don't get graphite on your hands. And that's what we draw with. caveman: [eyes lighting up] Oohhh so you use the wood pulp sheets to paint on them, like hides? me: Exactly! And now, you could use this method to draw anything you can visualise with your mind's eye, but for the sake of this demonstration, let's draw a vision of a woman with features of an animal whose powers and traits she represents, and a figure that is stylised and exaggerated beyond what nature really allows. caveman: As wide as she is tall, with tits to match? me: Exactly. caveman: This is the only sensible use of this technology.

How does one make their bedroom look like a bright little woodland fairy cottage but also have a moody witchy whimsigoth vibe but also give that colorful 70's grooviness but also kind of feel like a beachside cabin

i love this website i just feel at home here you know

[ahaha-i-do-that]

at a conference I attended recently, a researcher pointed to the difficulty of finding material in archives because so much depends on the metadata and the terminology used to describe things changes over time. "it would be so helpful," the researcher said, "if I typed 'lesbian' into the library of congress database, it would also show me results that were categorised in the 50s, when the materials were interpreted as 'intimate female friendships'"

which is what tag wrangles at Archive Of Our Own do incredibly effectively: searching for "omegaverse" also leads to "alpha/beta/omega dynamics" and "alternate universe: a/b/o" and so on. but ao3 achieves this frankly incredible categorisation and indexing system by the power of countless volunteers putting in hours and hours of unpaid and unthanked free time, and it's completely understandable that most archives do not have that kind of infrastructure, but also how incredible that a fan-run website has better searchability, classification, and accessibility than the library of congress

Imagine collecting 100 nicely smooth and evenly sized rocks, picking up paint that sticks to them, writing "unblock me you insolent shrimp" on all of them, and dropping them into random mailboxes in a town you're only visiting and will never return to.

When your ld friend is literally 30 minutes away from you but you can’t see them bc you have to work >:(

Thinking about my childhood and now I’m kind of wondering how I even made it to my teenage years. I was a very stupid kid.

I've rarely seen a more validating sentence in my entire life.

Throwback to the time I was like 8 or 9 and we found out my dad was being stationed across the country so we’d have to move and I told my best friend at the time about it during a playdate at her house, to which she ran to her room, locked me out, and proceeded to blast “The One That Got Away” by Katy Perry and sob-sing to it like we were breaking up while I sat awkwardly outside the door
