#idk I was just thinking
okay hear me out. coffee shop au but the coffee shop isn’t cozy. it isn’t aesthetic. it’s kinda run down and beaten into the earth.
the entire shop smells like burnt toast. the floor has a grim that never seems to fade with any amount of sweeping or scrubbing. the music playing comes through speakers so busted that it’s mostly static with random words and chords that make no sense. the drinks are extremely limited— you can get black coffee, or earl grey tea. sugar and creamer is sometimes available, if you’re lucky.
i don’t want them to fall in love in the best of circumstances. they need to work to love each other. maybe someday, they can find themselves greeting each other at the upscale coffee shop across town, with its cute string lights and gentle lo-fi and cozy seating and drinks. but for now, they’re in a grimy little place, neither of them at a high point, and they are in love.

One of the things I never got quite clearly is how the education system works in the US. In my country, private schools are a rare occasion, even the most "humble" and cheap private schools are like, super rare, and for most of us, when we hear that someone attended a private school we go like "Wow your parents are super rich huh". Also, homeschooling just isn't a thing that happens here, apart from children with disabilities and mostly because they physically cannot attend school. But since most of my knowledge of how Murica works is from (mostly mainstream) American films, I pose here this poll.
Choose the option that applies the best to you, like if you attended private school for three years and public for nine, choose public school.

not to be angsty but nancy saw her mom and holly in danger so what if in season 5 they die before mike ever gets to tell them he's gay and then despite karen telling him " I just … want you to feel like you can talk to me," he never gets to

my nation is the nation of all shopgirls. we are answering rude questions and being shouted down. we are pitching our voices high so that we sound gentle as we deliver the news. making ends meet is difficult. we worry about breaking a bone, or about how standing for many hours has made our feet senseless and ugly. people breathe into our faces and we get sick. at the end of the day our time goes into the boss's pocket. we own nothing. we wear long glittering nails or a hidden boyhood in our hearts. there are millions of us. you meet us everywhere you go. the shopgirls of the world are more to me than a billion perfect smithsonians.

Chuuya in the Manga
Manga Spoilers below the cut
Okay, for all the manga readers. We know that Chuuya is a vampire (well it’s debatable at the moment, but semantics).
Okay, how was Chuuya of all people caught?
Like, I can understand Akutagawa and Higuchi. Gin is kind of questionable because she’s an assassin, I’d have assumed that she has a very refined danger sense. BUT HOW WAS CHUUYA CAUGHT????
I mean sure, you can actually take him off guard, it’s not like he can sense danger like an assassin would more likely do, but even then. Even if he was jumped, it’s literally impossible to overpower him unless you get to the goal before he can react. Ability or no ability, he could probably lift up a six foot grown man with one hand alone. I’m probably answering my own question here, but it’s a little interesting thinking about how that could’ve possibly gone down.

I say I hate tragic ending stories but the truth is that really by the time you get to the ending where your Blorbo/the main protag eventually dies, you find that the story somehow prepared you for it the whole time and it doesn’t hurt. Which is a completely separate experience from like a shocking character death that wasn’t really called for.
I do try to avoid these types of manga, but SNK and HNK (and eventually DGM probably 🥲) somehow didn’t/won’t leave a mark in a bad way.
I’m not a writer nor a literature buff, so idk what the formula is for THESE types of stories when people create them, but it’s definitely something I am in awe of because idk how you prepare people for the death/sad ending of a lovable character. But somehow these stories do it.

Genie: "You have three wishes"
Me: "I wish to have the full match between Shiratorizawa vs Aoba Johsai"
Genie: "Ok that's a pretty good wish you still have three left, that one's on me"

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

The reblog graphs from labs have returned and they work pretty much perfectly, better than their previous version even (and I think you can even use them to see previous reblogs of a post now that Tumblr decided to remove that function from the dashboard, though rip if you're on mobile) so now that we can see which reblogs on a post were the most "influential" or what reblog chains are going around (as in, how many reblogs with addition A are out there vs how many with addition B or even how many are reblogged directly from the source), I wonder if there would be possible to see which versions people "liked" from.
Like, if I make a post and person A reblogs it with an addition, and person B likes it, I won't be able to know if B liked it from A or from me. A will be the only one to know - but then, if person C reblogs A's addition without adding anything, and B likes that one instead, then neither I nor A will be able to know if B liked the original or A's addition.
And now that I think about it, knowing how internet cultures work it would probably cause a shit ton of drama so it may be better that we don't know XD

One of my biggest nitpicks in fiction concerns the feeding of babies. Mothers dying during/shortly after childbirth or the baby being separated form the mother shortly after birth is pretty common in fiction. It is/was also common enough in real life, which is why I think a lot of writers/readers don't think too hard about this. however. Historically, the only reason the vast majority of babies survived being separated from their mother was because there was at least one other woman around to breastfeed them. Before modern formula, yes, people did use other substitutes, but they were rarely, if ever, nutritionally sufficient.
Newborns can't eat adult food. They can't really survive on animal milk. If your story takes place in a world before/without formula, a baby separated from its mother is going to either be nursed by someone else, or starve.
It doesn't have to be a huge plot point, but idk at least don't explicitly describe the situation as excluding the possibility of a wetnurse. "The father or the great grandmother or the neighbor man or the older sibling took and raised the baby completely alone in a cave for a year." Nope. That baby is dead I'm sorry. "The baby was kidnapped shortly after birth by a wizard and hidden away in a secret tower" um quick question was the wizard lactating? "The mother refused to see or touch her child after birth so the baby was left to the care of the ailing grandfather" the grandfather who made the necessary arrangements with women in the neighborhood, right? right? OR THAT GREAT OFFENDER "A newborn baby was left on the doorstep and they brought it in and took care of it no issues" What Are You Going to Feed That Baby. Hello?
Like. It's not impossible, but arrangements are going to have to be made. There are some logistics.
