a bad show? that's nothing? a good show? sure. but a bad show that, for a brief moment, becomes very good, and then never is again? that'll drive a person to madness

setting up a tiny detail in one chapter to pay it off in the next few chapters feels sooo devious like oooh i can't wait to write the small little reference here that 70% of readers will miss but 30% of readers will cheer for

i keep wondering if i should watch "wicked" but i actually don't have to because i already saw that time kristin chenoweth's life was changed onstage by the voice teacher she pulled out of the audience to sing "for good" in 2013

Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck.

Why are you using chatgpt to get through college. Why are you spending so much time and money on something just to be functionally illiterate and have zero new skills at the end of it all. Literally shooting yourself in the foot. If you want to waste thirty grand you can always just buy a sportscar.

The worst characters are the ones were you only get like three pieces of lore about them but the lore is so fascinating and hits your brain at just the right angle to have you behaving like a feral dog in front of your conspiracy theory cork board

big fan of when businesses have signs that preemptively thank you for following a rule. "thank you for respecting our staff" "thank you for not smoking in the bus station." etc. its a passive aggressive power move and it works on me every time. i mean i wasn't even PLANNING on direspecting the staff but now i'm extra not gonna. they thanked me already. i've been checkmated.

me: i wanna talk about my ocs

someone: ok tell me about your ocs

me, suddenly convinced that every single thing about my ocs is stupid and cringy and probably offensive: i. have them

It's kind of unfathomable how much I *need* to write vs. how much readers *need* to read. Which is to say it's like I have a whole pile of rocks which all took a lot of work to gather and find, but the only thing impressive about them is the 5 ounces of gold hidden within them and if I don't get that gold out and toss the rocks, all the hard work is underwhelming and more akin to like a kid finding a sparkly rock in a yard like oh cool!! It's so pretty and im so glad it sparks your imagination! Only you care about it tho. Doesn't matter how much you know the gold is in there, no one spares a second glance until you refine that rock and toss everything but the gold.
