Hey so I was just browsing the Sonic tag and I saw a bunch of art that I recognized from seeing before but it was from a user that didn't even have a profile picture (magnificentomentunneld3)

So first off I'm pretty sure they're stealing art but I'm also pretty sure they're a bot because I noticed that they had like legit looking tags but I think they're copied from the original posters but what really got me worried is I noticed they had to read more thing on there that led to a link and instead of leading to like more Tumblr stuff and stuff like that it led to a .io page which I'm pretty sure can be dangerous. So I've blocked them and I just wanted to bring attention to this because I've noticed a lot more I think art theft bots popping up on here and I'm really getting worried about like that along with the cyber security of links not really previewing easily at least on mobile where I'm doing this from.

Tldr I'm noticing more scams on here be careful of what you click when you see something that says read more

Derailing my GM when they try to do a gazebo bit by having my character pipe up "actually, I think that's a rotunda".

I love that Elizabeth Swann is such a teen girl fantasy like she’s beautiful and rich but sheltered and she’s in love with this nice, good-looking blacksmith that she helped rescue as a child and she almost drowns while she’s being proposed to by a young, handsome but proper and boring royal navy commander but then is RESCUED by a swaggering pirate captain and then gets kidnapped by pirates and the nice good-looking blacksmith comes after her and she has this weird tension with the swaggering pirate captain but she’s also deeply in love with the nice good-looking blacksmith and then there’s the complicated royal navy commander who’s willing to die for her and then she becomes the pirate king at the end of it all like????

THESE GUYS

[autumnminaret]

Oh neat. I never did watch the Shuriken Sentai Ninninjer season, but I love how these monster generals each incorporate a noh theatre mask --with the exception of the big boss who just has a samurai face plate to go with his helmet. It's a cool way to lend them a classical Japanese feel that sorta suits the ninja theme, as well as lend them a bit of character in that each mask implies certain roles

Also I love the way they're each made up of two designs that have this neat kind of stripped away look that mirrors lines in their clothes as well as the masks. although the fox one seems to break that pattern for some reason... maybe there's a story reason for it

Another fantasy trope story:

A story where a prominent prophesy very clearly states that this specific important thing Must Be Done by the firstborn of one specific guy. So three young heroes head out to fix this: This Guy's official firstborn heir, his bastard he didn't even know about before getting married, and his unofficially adopted orphan kid who just started living with him at some point, who is the oldest of the three so technically speaking is still the one who was born first. And all three must go because while the meaning of the prophesy itself is very clear, it's an utter mystery to everyone which one of them counts as their father's firstborn.

I was reading earlier today about how, in Scandinavian folklore, the nomenclature that's usually rendered as "ring" in modern English can variously refer to bracelets, armlets, or torcs as well as to finger rings. It's usually clear from context which is intended, though there are some legendary "rings" whose form is not specified in surviving accounts.

This ambiguity is, of course, not present in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings; though the work and its titular object are inspired by these sagas, the One Ring is clearly described as a finger ring. However, my brain has seized upon the finger-ring-or-bracelet ambiguity and spontaneously produced an anachronistic 1990s teen movie version of The Lord of the Rings in which the One "Ring" is a cursed slap bracelet.

I looked at it wrong and now I'm scared.

"For all the people who can't protect themselves... I will fight!"

You wanna know the real difference between someone who just talks about writing and someone who actually is a writer? Well, it’s not talent, nor some magical lightning bolt of inspiration from the heavens. It’s just sitting your ass down and doing the damn writing. Consistently. That’s the whole big, unsexy secret.

[autumnminaret]

Inspiration is a flaky bastard who shows up when you’re in the shower, not when you’re sitting at your desk. 

Write anyway. You don’t need to feel like writing to write.

My Pokemon head canon is that if you were holding an Aron and she wanted to go down she would do the little cat thing where they wiggle until they leap out of your arms gracefully except Aron is made mostly out of solid steel and would land with the impact tungsten cube, dent the floor, cause permanent structural damage to the foundation, and then stand up and happily trot along like she didn't do anything

Batman moves freakishly fast. it’s not that he moves faster than you can see, or faster than a speeding bullet like Superman — it’s that he’s 6’2, 220 lbs full of muscle and he can move so quickly, so soundlessly, that it sets every human’s instincts on edge. Batman is terrifying because any reminder that the man underneath the mask is human somehow doesn’t make it better, it makes it worse, because what the fuck—

Did a brand new kind of bowling shot today

write a new scene → realize it contradicts something from chapter 3 → fix chapter 3 → now chapter 7 makes no sense → cry → repeat
