i just think lois lane should put tim drake in her purse like a little dog. a scrunkly little companion who's even better at picking locks than she is, which is saying something. a nosy little freak after her own heart. the rubber duck she uses when talking her thoughts out loud to put clues together. her coffee gofer. her purse ferret.

So much experimenting to be done, where to even start (Patreon)

If you have watched inside out 2- uh-

Thoughts on these 2 sillies? Not as a pair but like the characters themselves

I like them a very normal amount

Ennui and Anxiety my beloveds 💜🧡

I have watched inside out 2! (I seriously loved that movie so much 💛❤️💙💚💜🧡🩷🩵)

I really liked those two!! 🧡💜

I liked seeing Anxiety doing the things she did to help Riley (even if she ended up pushing her way too far and not really helping out :,)) it was realistic to see her obsess over every little thing Riley did and how the decisions she made in the movie would impact Riley in the future (I also love how Envy was basically her right hand man. She was just cheering on Anxiety the whole time, until the end of the movie of course)

Ennui was pretty funny, I liked how she was just bored the whole time and messed on her phone XD

I love them (and the movie) a totally normal amount too. It’s not like I was so obsessed with the first one as a kid and watching the second one made me fall in love with the franchise again 😇😇

I watched I Saw the TV Glow and personally I think cis people should be banned from commenting on it

I wish we had more spaces dedicated to nonbinary medical transition. So many enben don’t even know about non classic transition options, stuff like body/facial masculinisation/feminisation, more atypical hormone treatments, and more, because barely anybody talks about them. Spaces for medical transition tend to be very binary centred, and nonbinary spaces just… don’t talk about it much. It’s really disappointing, it feels like there’s nobody else out there like me

I'm on ep5 of LOK and remembering why I have never gotten past the first season of this show. The love triangle shit is driving me INSANE in the worst of ways. It feels like fucking high school drama.

I will stick it out... because I have heard the show gets better... and also the promise of endgame Korra and Asami.... I will stick it out this time....!!!!

But God. It's so annoying 😭😭😭😭

THIS IS A SCREENSHOT . GWAAAH🦭

CAN YOU PEOPLE BE FUCKING SERIOUS FOR ONCEEEE. "well doof winning would be funny" Why do you hate women

[ciitrinitas]

anders is one of the few faves of mine where i think it is incredibly funny when people hate him. as far as da goes, my jimmies can be easily rustled by morrigan or sera bashing, but anders bashing? let me help you throw the tomatoes. love him dearly and deeply and he is poor meow meow-coded, but he is also very annoying and often unlikable. those are traits that i enjoy about him, but he's a very extreme, sometimes hypocritical person with Loud Opinions, and you can easily dislike him without disagreeing with him.

Thoughts on Beta Readers

Apologies in advance if this turns into a bit of a ramble; I've had a lot of thoughts in my head, and I needed to somewhere to formulate them into a coherent stream.

I made this writblr page about a year ago after realising that I have written loads of stories, but never really thought about sharing them. I still don't know what I'm ultimately going to do with any of them- I don't think I have the skills/fortitude to go through Trad or Indie pub, nor the stamina and/or headspace for self-pub and trying to be my own hype/marketing person just doesn't appeal to me.

I like the writing part of writing; not so much anything else, as anyone who has seen any of my other posts will attest to! I think in just about every post I've ever published, it's just me grumbling about editing!

Anyway- sorry, I digress (in my defense, I did say that this would be a rambling post, so you only have yourself to blame if you've made it this far into my diatribe!). I've only been brave enough to share snippets of my WIPs through tag games, and everyone who had liked, commented or reblogged something- has given me that little dopamine spike and helped me find some courage to share my work.

I put out a call for beta readers, and some amazing people have taken the time and effort to read something that I've written.

I'm not a confident person, and I really worried that my story was garbage. I think I've stared at the documents so many times, that I could no longer see the woods from the trees. There were bits that I wasn't happy with, but couldn't figure out why. I was worried that I didn't have enough research under my belt to handle sentitive topics. Some sections felt too heavy, or dull. I found my own writing boring, my characters bland, scenes didn't gel, action felt disjointed etc etc.

Basically, I was in a bit of a tailspin, or a slump, a funk...and I didn't know how to dig myself out of the hole that I'd managed to clamber into. Normally, when I finish a WIP, it's done, and I don't do anything with it. It just stays in my docs folder, and backed up to an external hard-drive.

Rather than just continuing to stare at a document for hours, wondering what to do, I found my beta readers, and sent my first draft over to them (hoping that I'd managed to find all typos- lol, that didn't happen. Typos still managed to escape me -_-' )

I've seen several posts on my dash from folk complaining about interaction and the writblr community. My posts don't get a lot of engagement, which is fine (not trying to join a pity party- just stating facts!) but I've found that the interaction that I do have from followers, mutual or random folk has been really meaningful.

I've gone from dreading sharing my work, to being excited to post snippets, and being tagged in games, getting to see what everyone else has been working on. (I appreciate that I'm a bit of a hypocrite, as I'm not very good at engaging with others on this site- I worry about coming across as a complete weirdo creep, and I struggle to find new ways of saying 'omg, I love this, show me more' in the tags! Or to think of asks to send, even though several people diligently send me asks every week! I'm trying to get better, I promise!)

Sorry- rambling again. I just...adklsdfgskhdfh

I'm honestly gobsmacked by the effort that my beta readers put into my WIP, and the kind comments, feedback and suggestions that they've made. I genuinely believed that I would get ' meh, it was okay' in the best scenario that I'd worked out in my head. Their engagement and feedback has been so helpful and I appreciate it so much.

It's helped me identify the sticking points that I was having, why I was unhappy with some scenes, characters etc etc. They have really helped me take that step back, and re-evaluate things, rather than just staring at the screen and feeling like a deer in the headlights. I was so worried/scared about sharing an entire WIP, but it's been worth it.

So, if anyone is in the same boat as me- scared to take the plunge- dip your toe in the water. Share snippets, work up to finding a beta reader or two, get outside input, rather than just sitting and staring trying to work it out on your own.

There are a lot of people out there willing to share their knowledge, and help you get the most out of your story.

Special thank you to @sam-glade and @at-thezenith for taking the time to give me such thorough feedback. I honestly can't thank you enough for your input and comments.

I'm going to stop rambling now, before this gets any more unhinged!

TL;DR- don't be a little writblr gremlin, lurking in the shadows. Engage with the community, and because they're awesome, they'll help you out!

|| Suffering from a nasty headache again, sighs. Took some more painkillers but unsure when they'll kick in. I shall lurk for the time being as focusing like this is quite hard.

Thank you for understanding ♥

"….I hate that zebra."

[dahllaz]

Sometimes I come across a pet peeve that I did not know was a pet peeve and it is. Annoying.

It is not a big deal. And yet and yet and yet I am not sure I'm going to be able to finish this fic.

Because the Glock handguns the SVU detectives carry keep being referred to as revolvers and. It. Is. Driving. Me. Crazy.

They are not revolvers! Revolvers are a specific thing! Handguns with a cylinder you load bullets in and that cylinder revolves as it is fired to put the next chamber in line with the hammer and that is why they are called revolvers. The Glocks in the show have a magazine for the bullets and are fed up into the barrel when the trigger is pulled, no revolving cylinder.

This is not a big deal! So the writer doesn't know. Who cares!

Apparently. I fucking care. UGH.

[irritablepoe]

Well technically I'm not crying yet👀 but. Uh. Life is happening to me and lil ol' socially-a-wreck me can't take it apparently
