i think i'm too good at gaslighting

I don't think any of my friends irl have yet realised that they cannot trust a SINGLE word that comes out of my mouth. they have not yet figured out that I am extremely proficient at gaslighting, and while I would never use my power for evil, this does mean that i am basically a GOD when it comes to mind manipulation and psychological warfare.

to give an example, here is basically how one of my conversations with a friend went (@crowsndbugs ) a few months ago. For context, she was partway through reading a murder mystery story I wrote, and we were talking about my writing process and how character A was her favourite

her: yeah, *character A* is my favourite. i swear to god if they end up being the murderer i'm going to stab you or smt.

me: haha lol

her: what's like ur sort of like writing process, or like how do you come up with characters?

me: well, i don't really know. I guess i sort of just have like the idea of like the world and the vague plot first, before i create like the main character which would be the murderer ig in this story context. tbh *character A* is my favourite as well, i created them first

her: wait so does that mean *character A* is the murderer?!?!?!?!

me, looking panicked: wait, nonononono, what I meant to say was like they're my fav becuz i wanted them to be the main character originally trying to be a detective, and they had to solve--

her like a detective finding the essential clue: so they aren't the murderer!

me, looking absolutely flustered and panicked and Caught: I--well--no, but--I mean--actually, yeah, no, character A is TOTALLY the murderer. Yep, definitely, one HUNDRED percent. i'm speaking facts. *character A* killed *victim*. they did it. thousand percent.

her: hahaha, you revealed it by accident!

me, still flustered and seeming like i got caught: nope, nuh-uh, idk what ur talking about. *character A* is TOTALLY the murderer.

her, looking proud of herself for figuring it out: sure buddy, sure.

anyway, character A ended up being the murderer :)

Did You Know????

Nobody in the entire History of the world has Ever Ever been Gay never ever, Gayness was invented recently.

People in History only had Strictly Platonic Relationships with best friends of the Same Gender whom with which they also Happened to Share a Bed and died within two weeks of each other and were well known for being Best Best Friends of the Same Gender. They were also known for their dinner parties

*that concludes the fun fact of the day*

"New Yorkers bite more people than sharks annually" is an excellent example of how statistics can be misleading. Like yeah no shit, do you have any idea how rare it is to even encounter a shark in the wild? They're not exactly urban animals. I'm pretty damn sure that if sharks were living in big cities like pigeons, just strolling down the streets looking for food scraps, you'd see a lot more news stories about New Yorkers biting them.

being a writer is like having a superpower because like yes i know absolutely everything about that one specific ghost town that was abandoned in the middle of the 18th century and what exactly you can get on the black market and how long a body takes to cool down and the chemical reactions that occur in your body when you're in space without your space suit and when the croissant was invented and everything you'd never want to know about rigor mortis and how much human eyes sell for on the dark web and how to hide a body and exactly how much force it takes to pierce a ribcage.

no i don't know how to spell definately .

how readers mark their page (getting progressively more insane)

Using a bookmark as a, you know, bookmark. for its intended purpose.

Dog-earing the page (imo this ruins the book but i get food stains all over mine so i can't complain)

Using the dust jacket of the book if it still has one (tbh it's not bad just.. weird)

Using a spare piece of paper that's not a bookmark (like it's not technically in the rules but it's universally accepted as a house rule everyone allows)

Using whatever random object you have around you that is not remotely close to paper (ie a pencil, a fork, another book)

Doing that. that thing. where you're at a table or something and you put the book upside down with one cover facing up and one hanging off the edge (only works if you're keeping the page but not taking the book anywhere)

leaving the book open face down and ruining the spine (*gags*)

and bonus points for GOD MODE:

8. remembering the page number

hot take (kinda)

"you don't have to write everything in chronological order, write it however you want"--

yes yes that is true. very true and absolutely correct, write however you wish because it is your story. but may i add, counterpoint:

if i really extremely desperately want to write the climax because i'm stuck on a boring scene, so then i write it, it'll be a bit of short lasting dopamine, but then i'll have to go back and eventually actually write that boring scene. and then i'll have even less motivation than before to actually write that annoying scene. so the way I write things is that i write the rest of the story first in chronological order especially if it's boring, so i can revel in the juicy scene for longer later on. i'm more of a do the bad stuff now so i can have the good stuff later sort of person.

but of course, this is just my opinion and you can write in chronological order or not, because it's yours. you get to decide how you write, and this is just my opinion. happy writing 😊

also i may or may not write like this purely because my bestie reads my story in chronological order so i legitimately don't have time to write the cool scenes until i get to them

but i'm okay with that :)

[crypticgoat2854]

what writers actually do when they say they're writing

watch writing tutorials on youtube that teach you things you already know

doom scrolling waiting for that inspiration to hit

create a pinterest board that perfectly captures the vibe of your story

listening to the spotify playlist you made with curated songs for that one story to convince yourself that listening is the same as writing

outlining bizarrely specific details nobody is ever going to know or care about

literally anything else but still having the story tab open so you can have some sense of doing something

daydreaming about that one scene in your head over and over with a blank word doc in front of you imagining that you're typing

actually writing. (you know, like, one percent of the time)
