As a fic writer, i need every reader to know that:

I don’t care if your comment is coherent. I know what you mean and i love you

I don’t care if you ramble. I read every word and i love you

I don’t care if you leave a comment on a fic from four years ago or leave comments/kudos on like ten of my fics in one go. This isn’t IG, pls stalk my AO3. I love you

I don’t care if you mention the same thing in your comment that four other people have already mentioned. It’s actually really useful to know what resonated with people and I love everyone who takes the time to tell me they liked a particular turn of phrase

I don’t mind if your comment is super long or just a couple of sentences, i love them all

I love you

"you attract what you fear"

AHHHHHH A RICH BENEFACTOR WHO WILL FUND ALL MY WEIRD CREATIVE ENDEAVOURS NOOOOOO STAY AWAYYYY

[sunshineteaparty]

Real observations since I started wearing a wizard hat daily:

- Brim is so wide that I stay BONE DRY taking walks in the rain

- Brim can be positioned to block the sun from ever getting in my eyes AND keeping it off the back of my neck

- The pointed top part creates an air pocket, keeping my head from getting hot or squishing my hair as it might in a ball cap

- Hat can easily be pulled down over the tips of my ears without looking dumb, protecting them from wind chill

- Strangers say they like my hat, giving me the chance to tell them that I am a wizard

- When you’re wearing a wizard hat, ALL OTHER FASHION CHOICES become secondary, allowing you to branch out with style

Embrace ego death. Stay protected from all elements. Wear a wizard hat.

I don't know what those '90s sci Fi TV writers were putting in their shows but I wish they'd start doing it again

fablehaven book one

[sunshineteaparty]

Animals that have no teeth, thoughts?

this is me and you right now

[sunshineteaparty]

Sometimes I feel like Fablehaven forgets it is set in the modern day (why is there a medieval castle in Montana?) but then also sometimes you get things like Raxtus saying “you know, dragons don’t get to air our feelings on talk shows”

[sunshineteaparty]

I lvoe reading fablehaven cause the adult characters r so concerned with the children.. like other books like this will jsut let the kids go into dangerous traumatising situations but Mr Warren "she's a minor im not giving her a weapon" Burgess is putting kendra is 20 million scarfs and telling her to hide at any possibly moment. 10/10 alot of child endangerment but damn they are trying really hard

[sunshineteaparty]

Yes!! I was so surprised that she didn't have one to be honest. I get that having a familiar/shapeshifting friend is cool and all, but a gun is a hell of a lot more useful when people are trying to hunt you down and kill you. Especially if you're the only reason a ruthless demon is still imprisoned. The common sense in Fablehaven is never sound T-T

I’m rereading Fablehaven and I think this series is another good example of the “charcater shows smart use of modern weapons one time and then promptly forgets and they all go back to swords” problem because I just got to the scene where Dale pulls out a shotgun on a demon creature and as far as I remember, it just… never comes up again

Even Dale later on fights with swords/spears/crossbows, and he’s the one who showed the initiative to try firearms in the first place. And it’s shown at a few points that weapons don’t necessarily have to be magical to work on magical creatures, so what’s stopping everyone from using modern weaponry?

This troupe just bothers me so much

(Now, the fact that he is using a shotgun in close quarters in a small attic room with people he’s trying to protect right there is another problem, but we’re not going to get into that here)

they should invent an apartment that has huge windows but is never too hot and is near everything i like and all my friends but is also quiet when i want it to be and costs zero dollars or perhaps they pay me to live in. and they save it just for me so i dont have to look for it :)

[sunshineteaparty]

writing is so funny because i could write nonstop for 9hrs and then hit a block where im like "how do i transition between this moment and the next?" and then i just dont touch it for 6 months

[sunshineteaparty]

The only justification I can really think of for this is that swords and spear don't "run out". You can run out of bullets or a gun can jam, but swords knives and heavy stick will stay pretty much the same throughout a battle. And no need to reload

Just realized that the reason I love making friends on tumblr is because it’s exactly how you make friends on the playground as a six year old. No, I don’t know their name but they love mermaids too and built this awesome sand castle. No, I don’t know their age but their imaginary cheetah is friends with mine. You like this show? You like this character?? You can sing the theme song really loud??? Here is a flower crown. Here is a juice box. You can share my time and I might never see you again but part of you stays in my soul forever. In my mind we’re still on the swing set and the sky is blue and nothing will ever be wrong again.

Every person need to be taught disability history

Not the “oh Einstein was probably autistic” or the sanitized Helen Keller story. but this history disabled people have made and has been made for us.

Teach them about Carrie Buck, who was sterilized against her will, sued in 1927, and lost because “Three generations of imbeciles [were] enough.”

Teach them about Judith Heumann and her associates, who in 1977, held the longest sit in a government building for the enactment of 504 protection passed three years earlier.

Teach them about all the Baby Does, newborns in 1980s who were born disabled and who doctors left to die without treatment, who’s deaths lead to the passing of The Baby Doe amendment to the child abuse law in 1984.

Teach them about the deaf students at Gallaudet University, a liberal arts school for the deaf, who in 1988, protested the appointment of yet another hearing president and successfully elected I. King Jordan as their first deaf president.

Teach them about Jim Sinclair, who at the 1993 international Autism Conference stood and said “don’t mourn for us. We are alive. We are real. And we’re here waiting for you.”

Teach about the disability activists who laid down in front of buses for accessible transit in 1978, crawled up the steps of congress in 1990 for the ADA, and fight against police brutality, poverty, restricted access to medical care, and abuse today.

Teach about us.
