Out of all the grimwalkers, you looked the most like him.

been stewing on an analytical approach to fiction which I call "is this book afraid of me?" and in order to answer this question you determine how hard the book is trying to make sure you don't come after the writer on twitter

i think there should be a new judgement option called "just talk to each other". so many of these situations submitted don't necessarily need a "decide who was the asshole" verdict and the solution is simply all parties involved just having a conversation about the situation and i think there should be an option reflecting that

If you would like to start a relationship advice blog, feel free! But this is the "am I the asshole" blog and deciding who was the asshole is what we do here

Apparently it's something like "make a terrible comic day" today, so I was inspired by a Discord server to doodle my own shitty comic. Buuut when I got this done everyone there was already talking about other things and I didn't want to be rude and butt in by posting this, so it's you who have to suffer from it then. =')

It's hard when you have chores to do when all you'd want to do is play an aquarium game.

when the hyperfix hits so hard you just start walking in circles real fast

my favorite trope is the thing star trek does where when a character lists something and they’ll list real things/people but add 1 thats fictional, like “great writers such as shakespeare, robert frost, edgar allan poe and zaxar the giant rat man“

Y'all ever think about the way video game bosses are designed to lose? How the bombastic soundtracks, the impressive displays of villainy, the teeth-rattling power of their attacks, are at once engineered not just to sell you on how unfathomably strong and vile they are, but also to make the player's inevitable victory all the sweeter?

Viewed this way, a boss battle is more like a choreographed dance - they call, you respond and counter-call. The trick is to learn the steps - once you know where to move, when to strike, when to defend and how to best allocate your resources, victory is not just achievable but actually almost impossible to avoid. You cannot help but recite the winning plays, over and again, because that is what the dance demands of you both - and is there not a savage sort of beauty in such a thing?

Is it any wonder then that we look back on these bosses so fondly, almost as if they were old friends? We danced together once, and oh what fun we had while doing it!

The fact that animals that care for their young will sometimes adopt others' lost or orphaned young to raise along their own is just funny to me. I know that it's all hormonal and there's no conscious thought involved in it, but the internal logic of it is so funny.

"Baby = success. More baby = more success. I have one baby and I found four other baby. I have five baby. I am being so fucking successful right now."

It is such an honor to get to be that person for you!!!! Please know your genuine and wholehearted pursuit of writing as you see things is a great inspiration for me!!

Every unhinged fic writer needs an equally unhinged friend who "yes ands" their ideas and encourages them to write all their most far fetched and insane stories.
