Tumblr makes sense to me bc if i see something i like i get excited and hit the button to show other people and theres no weird unspoken social conventions my autistic brain doesnt understand. I can literally sit here and reblog 150 niche shitposts about harvest mice in an hour just bc they make me happy and i dont have to explain myself to anyone and i'll actually *gain* followers instead of just being called weird and downvoted or whatever its so cool

You know what's great? When in a movie or other fictional setting, there's a fight going down and the character pulls something like, "I'm counting to three," and their opponent is like, " you think you're in a movie? You think that's how this works?"

Like, yeah, this is a movie. That is how it works. Get some genre awareness. Or medium awareness.

Look, when something goes wrong, whether or not the crowd panics and runs or stays and gets in the way is not dependant on crowd psychology. It's reliant on what I need for the narrative.

reminder to worldbuilders: don't get caught up in things that aren't important to the story you're writing, like plot and characters! instead, try to focus on what readers actually care about: detailed plate tectonics

i'm AWARE this is a stupid hill to die on, but like. trope vs theme vs cliché vs motif vs archetype MATTERS. it matters to Me and i will die on this hill no matter how much others decide it's pointless. words mean things

Me: as a writer, I het to indulge in my most unrealistic fantasies vicariously through my characters

Also me: so this guy goes to the coffee shop and he's a regular there and there's no anxiety when he's ordering and it's all perfectly normal to him.

I'm fascinated by how the formatting of different social media sites affect how text is read.

For instance, a line break on Tumblr indicates a new idea.
