Dream SMP then: Haha I wanna sell drugs brrrr

Dream SMP now: After the previous dictator of the country was found dying from a heart attack due to his intense drug and alchohol addiction the Revolution has a young child become the president. Outraged, the long-time companion and anarchist spawns two demons from hell to take down the facist government. During this, the previous President turned traitor almost presses the doomsday button before his father appears before him and attempts desperately to convince him not to. Despite this, the traitor pushes the button anyway, forcing his father to kill him. The child president now in charge of the rebuilding of a desolate wasteland while the anarchist continues to enforce a governless land, the members of the server now have to find a way to have things go back to normal after the traumatic events they experienced.

i just wanna make it very clear that i'm not clowning on any disappointed spn fans yall deserve miles better im simply unable to not endlessly mock every single person responsible for getting that garbage on television

[smolfailure]

To think this could all have been avoided if the furry and the baker had gotten away with voting fraud during the election 🙄

THE COMMENTS OMG I'M DYING

[smolfailure]

I’m genuinely sorry for the Supernatural fans who had emotional investment in this show, because the heart invests in what the heart invests in, you often don’t get a choice about that, but also I’m a Star Wars fan, I have been there and now it’s my turn to watch the dancing clown jesters from my seat in the bleachers.  Y’all have my sympathy but also every meme that rolls in just makes it funnier.  You’re welcome to laugh at my turn to jingle my way across the dance floor next time a Star Wars movie comes out, tho.

i love it when people like “omg [story] copied [other story]” and then list the steps of the heroes journey

SKEPPY DONATED 50 THOUSAND DOLLARS JUST TO GET BAD'S ATTENTION!???

[smolfailure]

the way that we are merely a collective of jesters (supernatural fandom) performing for the entertainment of the court (mutuals who do not watch supernatural) and tonight everyone who does not watch this show is logging onto tumblr dot com to watch all of us Fools jingle miserably across the floor

recently learned about a horticultural technique called Espalier, it’s the funniest goddamn thing i’ve ever seen.

Espalier allows trees to be trained into 2-dimensions, by tying the branches to a flat surface as the tree grows. They literally flatten the tree. They make the tree flat. Flat tree!!!

Look at this. This is objectively hilarious:

And people get fancy about it. Look at this nonsense:

(the first one’s called a Belgian Fence, and can be used as an actual fence)

Espalier is actually a very useful technique for

increasing fruit yield

gardening is small spaces

maximizing or minimizing sunlight (since the branches all face the same direction) and therefore extending the growing season

Like. this is a legitimately practical gardening method. but it looks like they squished a tree between the pages of a book. just squashed it flat like a sad little dried flower! i could use these trees as a bookmark!!!

But yes, it is also a healthy and clever way to grow lots of fruit in small spaces, in climates they might not otherwise be suited for. I’m still going to make fun of it, but it honestly looks delightful and delicious.

Espalier!

Can we agree that Francis would probably be one of the most concerning nations to be around? Like whenever he’s on a philosophical mood even Arthur is there like ‘lighten up mate’

it's so funny to me that wilbur just mentioned in passing that fundy's mother was a salmon and the fandom just STRAIGHT UP WENT AND CREATED A CHARACTER THAT'S NOT ACTUALLY IN THE SERVER and the members of the smp WENT WITH IT ANYWAY

[smolfailure]

I hope it is not rude of me to ask but, did you ever get hate from people after you wrote your stories? If you did, how did you deal with that? If you didn't, may I ask what is your advice on how to move forward from such type of readers? should you adjust the writing their preferences?

It’s not rude at all.

But I have to start by saying, please never adjust your writing to anyone’s preferences but yours! Especially for the sake of rude bullies!!

Whether people like your story or characters will always boil down to their personal taste. Not everyone will like what you create, that’s a hard fact to come to terms with, but once you do things get SO much easier!

Your actual story and your actual characters are yours. They’re unique to you. That’s what makes them special. So write them how you want to write them. If people don’t like it, then it’s not for them, and they can easily move onto something that they would enjoy. That’s why there’s such variety in fiction and games, after all! 

When people contact you trying to demand or bully you into writing the way that would suit their personal taste...just don’t. 

I often get messages from people demanding characters be different (a very popular one being for Nate to be less ‘feminine and soft for a male LI’???) or that the story suit their personal taste more (more guns, more fighting, etc). But that’s not how I want to write Wayhaven, so I don’t.

However, I do have a very trusted team of readers who I will take advice from concerning the story flow, etc. I’m lucky to have a group who have very different ways they look at Wayhaven so I get a great rounded view from their comments and how to make the story stronger!

I cannot stress enough to write what you want to write and how you want to write!

And if people are mean or rude, just ignore them and focus on the audience you are writing for.

Hope that helps! Thank you so much for the ask :)
