I’m volunteering for a literary journal right now and there’s two things I think you all should know.

1. Most people that submit to literary journals are cis white men. We know this because our journal has an anonymous survey about demographics for people that submit.

2. Most things that get submitted to the creative non fiction section are on the level of middle school “What I did over the summer” essays.

I cannot see the demographics of the people whose essays I’m reading, but guys, if you are wondering if you should submit your work to a literary journal or not, I promise you that just in terms of statistics there are a lot of mediocre cis white men and people in general confidently submitting weird crap that isn’t literature to literature magazines. Do it. Submit your work. Please. If you want there to be more diversity in literature, be the diversity. Do it. Do it do it do it.

So the failwoman poll bracket has decided it's "suspicious" that Judith won her round because she's a "relatively minor character from a niche series" and the mod doesn't believe she could have legitimately beaten the anime character she was up against. Her victory has been nullified and the poll is being run again.

Vote here for Judith Deuteros! Justice for Judith, if only in a tumblr poll!

Shadow and Bone Season 2 + subtle hints to Wylan’s backstory

sometimes i wish i could grab my childhood self and shake them by the shoulders and say YOU'RE GOOD. YOU'RE WORTH LOVING. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES ARE MADE BETTER BECAUSE OF YOU. YOU ARE NOT A BURDEN. YOU ARE NOT DAMNED. SOMEDAY YOU WILL CRY OVER SUNSETS AND POETRY MORE THAN YOUR OWN PAIN. I NEED YOU TO REMEMBER THAT YOU'RE GOOD. YOU'RE WORTH LOVING. but i can't go back in time, so i say it to myself now. because i believe there's a future version of me looking back on this moment feeling the exact same way.

THE TAGS ARE SENDING ME

one of the funny things about “king” being used as a slightly satirical form of address to your friends in our world is that when your greasy snake of a poet-boy is calling your sopping wet pathetic princeling-of-a-tyrant “king,” it sounds less like a formal title used for respect and more like a continuation of a line of gossip that had started at a previous slumber party
