One of my favorite phrases my Creative Writing professor had for when you’re writing fantasy is ‘giving your story a Flux Capacitor’.

Because it’s not real, it doesn’t exist. But the way it’s thrown into Back to the Future, at no point does it throw the audience off or suspend any more disbelief than time travel would. You believe Doc when he says he created the Flux Capacitor - the thing that makes time travel possible, because the universe never questions him. 

So it essentially means like, there are going to be elements to your universe that are just not gonna make any sense, even if you set up a whole system based on it. And the only way to make it work is completely own it. You cannot second-guess your system or else the reader will too. You can give it the strangest explanation, but write it like you own it.

are some of the people newer to tumblr aware of the joys of theme customization on desktop? I know some ppl are just on mobile so they can’t really change things but like SO many blogs nowadays have 0 theme customization and just use the default theme and I’m beginning to wonder if they even know about the option. It’s one of the main reasons why I still use tumblr

[octomoosey]

actual tip for new tumblr users

don't use double quotation marks ("like this") in your tags if you're talking in the tags- it'll format it wrong and mess up what you're trying to say by taking whatever you put in the quotes and kicking it to the front of your tags. so for example, if you're trying to say

#you'd have to be an idiot to believe that "there's no such thing as greenland" #smh

it will format as

#there's no such thing as greenland #you'd have to be an idiot to believe that #smh

if you want to use quotations in the tags, i would recommend just using single quotes instead ('like this')! i'm not sure why tumblr does this, but it's very odd and it's been a problem for years.

The old school lack of transparency on tumblr is amazing because you assume the people you follow must all be equivalent to you and then you see someone write “I brought my youngest to college today” and someone else write “my mom wouldn’t let me listen to Ariana Grande when I was a kid” and then your head explodes
