i love minecraft waiting behaviors. Writing on a sign and you can vaguely see your friend hopping around making spontaneous parkour out of the terrain while they wait for you to finish. writing a message in chat and having the person you’re talking to crouch right in front of you or stand as close to you as possible while they wait for you to finish. Finally finishing writing in a book only to see your friend has made several new furniture pieces and/or surrounded you in a cobblestone cube that may or may not have a sign on it. theres something so charming to it

You Should Draw Again

Pretty much all children draw at some point, and then one way or another, most of us stop. I think a lot of us stop because we just got old enough to look around us and feel self conscious about not being one of the kids who was "good at art", or if you had a past like mine, for worse reasons. But whatever the reason, it's a bad reason.

And overcoming it will help. Maybe your art won't be very good (and it certainly won't be at first), but you'll get practice in one of the most important things you can do: rebelling against the lie that you can't start what you're not already good at.

“we’re taking a group of people who have insider knowledge of the English language (or at least a good grasp of it) and placing them in a new, unfamiliar, virtual space. This space introduces visual aids to language in the form of photos and gifs, the ability to comment on someone else’s text in a reblog and the ability to communicate a lot of information in very few words using hashtags. We also see the creation of tone in a toneless medium. In order to simulate conversational patterns in writing we SHOUT WHEN WE’RE SUPER EXCITED or *psssst whisper when we’re pretending to tell someone a secret while perfectly aware that anyone on the internet can read what we’re saying.* slash the coolest bit tho is that u can like ironically forgo all capitalization and punctuation just write in a weird speech pattern its ok everyone will still understand maybe it even helps read the text more quickly because nothing is interrupting the flow of words In short, this dialect results when people who already share a language are given new tools. The result isn’t a butchering of English language but a creative experiment with it. Am I claiming that the Internet as a whole is operating on a level of postmodernism that would make Joseph Heller, Kurt Vonnegut and Thomas Pynchon seem like novices? maybe i am maybe im not u punk wut of it like who r u to tell me otherwise”

Internet Linguistics (via forglemmegei)

That last bit of loosely-structured syntax suggests a casual playfulness intended to inform the reader that the writer does not, in fact, believe his audience be be comprised of punks.

Hi. Do you enjoy being sad? Do you want to become emotionally attached to two characters that you will only have for less than an hour? Do you get attached to robot and human friendships, and diving into how robots have humanity even if they insist they dont?

Come be sad with me about this life and blood pilot, this metal and oil mech, and their potentially-last conversation.

fun fact: pigs can metabolize alcohol slightly better than humans, and they of course enjoy grains. this means that a pig can drink a beer as a treat. Rufus usually gets one a year, for his birthday. and he won't let the label stop him.

"This person has a secret onlyfans!" "This artist does NSFW commissions!" "This author writes porn on the side!" I cannot begin to tell you how swag and awesome that is.
