Shoutout to Superman (2025) for making it incredibly fucking clear that Superman is for good people. He’s hope. He’s love. He’s supportive. He’s an immigrant. He supports Palestine. He loves animals. He protects children.

The movie is a light. If you’ve been feeling really depressed about the world lately I’d highly suggest watching Superman.

So writers joke a lot about "drinking the tears of our readers", but I want to be so honest with you when I tell you that making you cry isn't our real goal. Making you feel is.

Kicking your feet? Giggling? Can't stop smiling? And yes, crying? Feeling anything, everything. That's our goal. That means we did The Job.

no time spent writing fanfic is ever wasted

at her absolute lowest point cersei lannister is still so committed to hating women that she realizes that the worst thing about women is that they are absolutely the cruelest to other women. not her she’s different though❤️

It’s 3 am and I’m writing an excerpt about motherhood and the traumas and expectations of it, which leads to believe I’m G.R.R. Martin if he was a 25 y old teenage girl.

you know you’re a writer when…

you spend 30 minutes choosing the perfect synonym for “said” only to change it back to “said.”

you google “how long does it take to bleed out” at 3 a.m. and now the FBI is probably watching you.

you write one sentence, stare at it, rewrite it 14 times, and somehow end up back at the original version.

“this scene is so important” but you have no idea what the scene actually is or why it’s important.

you come up with the best story ideas… in the shower… with no way to write them down.

your characters feel like real people but also you’re like “who are these guys and what do they want from me?”

your brain says “start writing!” but instead you reorganize your desk, reread your notes, and spend two hours naming a side character who shows up once.

you’ve cried over your WIP exactly 67 times and will do it again because the pain is the point.

you reread something you wrote and think, “wow, did i peak as a writer three months ago?”

every writing session begins with the sacred ritual of scrolling social media, opening unnecessary tabs, and procrastinating until panic sets in.

you have no idea how long a chapter should be, so you just… vibe.

you can’t watch tv or movies without mentally critiquing the plot, dialogue, and pacing.

your writing playlist is 98% vibes, 2% songs you’ll actually listen to while writing.

you keep a “murder notebook” but swear it’s not suspicious because it’s for your novel (probably).

the phrase “just one more draft” is your eternal mantra, even though you’ve rewritten this thing more times than you can count.

shoutout to jaime imagining the gods asking if he’d rather have his hand back or joffrey back and just immediately going, lol my hand

One of my favourite things about Brienne is that no matter how hard she tries she can’t escape Weird Road Trips With Men. She’s like Sisyphus pushing the boulder up the hill. As soon as one ends she’s doomed to begin another. Cleos and Jaime. Creighton Longbough and Illifer the Penniless. Pod and Nimble Dick. Meribald and Hyle. Please free her
