okay now I'm curious and I dunno if this is really such an archaic foreign thing to young people today or if I'm just out of touch

Please reblog, I'd love to see a lot of responses!

do publishers realize that advertising books using fanfic tropes spoils the experience of reading an original story. stop telling me it’s enemies to lovers and there was only one bed and unrequited love hurt comfort golden retriever black cat timeloop major character death. why do i give a fuck if i don’t know any of the characters and now plus i already know the entire plot of the story. that’s what ao3 is supposed to be for

going through my finals week is making me question how elves test on everything at the same day. I would actually fight someone at that school if I had to take every test in the span of a few hours.

*puts hands on hollywood exec's shoulders, staring unblinking into their eyes* listen to me. you will never get people who hate musicals to like musicals by making your musical less of a musical. if you hide the fact that your film is a musical in the advertising, you're going to get a lot of low ratings from people who hate musicals and went into your movie not expecting a musical and got one anyway. people who hate musicals will hate them no matter how realistic and diegetic and lowkey you try to make it. they will hate musicals even if you completely excise anything complicated, over the top, silly, or even slightly challenging. they will hate musicals even if you cut half the songs. they will hate musicals even if you cast that a-lister who can't sing worth a damn. stop trying to market to people who hate musicals. they're a lost cause. your audience should be people who love musicals. this half-assed middle ground pisses off both camps. just embrace the fact that your movie is a musical. lean into it. don't try and trick musical haters into coming to your film when you could be marketing to the theater kids. better cringe than a coward.

Sorry, quick PSA because this is important to me and it hadn't really clicked in my head it's something people were having trouble with until just tonight.

If you are someone interested in reading the Bible, for whatever reason (religious, questioning, academic, etc.), and you don't have access to one but do have access to a phone or computer, go to this website right here: https://www.biblegateway.com/

It has a combined couple hundred translations of the Bible available, for free, across over seventy different languages. Some of the translations are also available in audio format. There are also reading plans if you are interested in reading the Bible but feel overwhelmed or don't know where to start.

In a time when technology has been such a blessing made it more accessible than at any other time in history, I just want to make sure nobody interested in reading the Bible isn't able to just because they're having difficulty in their hands on a physical copy for whatever reason.
