BEGGING EVERYONE TO STOP LAMPSHADING EVERYTHING!!! IF YOU THINK ITS DUMB DONT PUT IT IN YOUR STORY, SAYING “ermmm that was awkward 🤓🤓🤓” WONT MAKE THE PEOPLE WHO ARENT EVEN YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE SUDDENLY LIKE YOUR WORK, ITLL JUST MAKE IT HARDER TO ACTUALLY GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE STORY BECAUSE YOURE CONSTANTLY TELLING US HOW MUCH IT SUCKS!!! seriously though commit to the bit or remove it, use it or lose it motherfucker

thinking more about authorial insecurity in fiction... it truly is frustrating to me when an author is clearly ashamed of their own premises, or is preemptively responding to imagined criticism. this is where you get a lot of unfunny humor about how stupid genre conventions are and how Unrealistic fantastical/speculative elements are. like ultimately the reason that authors undercut and overexplain their own works is because they're insecure about audience reaction and want to get ahead of the haters by proclaiming that they're Not Cringe. this will not work because I, the ultimate hater, will eventually find them and make one million posts about how much I despise irony poisoning

One of my oldest memories is the time I was reading a book on caves with some other kid, and there was a picture of one that looked exactly like fried chicken.

Caves are weirder and more varied than you think

people on my "making AUs for OCs" post keep going like "oh you mean like a STORY? like a BOOK? OP that's just a STORY!!" like no you don't get it. you don't get how much my friends and i play with our ocs like dolls. we're talking swap AUs. homestuck classpecting. MLP AUs. evil AU. "so just making stories" you're like a little baby to me. leave my sight

i hope pinky inky binky and Clyde fucking kill you one of these days

Fuck you dude why don't you just fuck off

If you could relive any memory of your past, what would it be?

oh fuck I forgot to answer this

that’s actually a really good question, I’m generally not one to reminisce a whole lot, but if I had to pick something I would maybe say when I first got my cat? (the eponymous Jasper from my url) he was kind of a pain in the ass when he was a kitten but he was very cute (i don’t have any pics on this computer 😔)

Hey you know what's super funny about the idea of "good bi rep"?

For a character to be canonically bi you have to make sure and establish that they're attracted to multiple genders. Not all mediums allow you to get inside every character's head or show what they're thinking. Flirting can be read ambiguously, and god forbid they flirt with a character who's not into them and be read as pushy or predatory. So it can be super handy to just mention an ex or two! But you better not mention too many exes because that would make them a slutty bisexual which is (checks notes) bad, and you definitely better be careful about making them poly, because that might make them, uh... greedy. Oh, and those exes? They better be perfectly amiable breakups with no conflict or drama, because it's bad to represent queer people in toxic or abusive relationships (especially queer women! very bad), and you definitely can't have them have lost a partner if the partner was queer because that's "bury your gays..." You should probably also eliminate all trauma from their backstory, just to be safe. You should probably also make sure they're not involved in crime, deception, or anything of the sort, because that would make them "deviant" and a stereotype.

But don't worry! Once you've carefully crafted your nice, monogamous, experienced-but-not-too-experienced Lawful Good bi character, you will be rewarded with your audience deeming them "boring" and quickly passing them over for other characters. :)

inspired by boop day, reblog this post if its ok for people to send you random asks and interact on your posts with no judgement. i want to talk to people.

happy trans day of visibility to all the male qhats in house calixco

do people really find it weird to have your likes hidden? i am simply too embarrassed

there is a canon nonbinary character in novus but unfortunately they are a fucking marleybonian :(

my most embarrassing traits are having thousands of hours in the sims 3 and also having probably at least a thousand in wizard101

i played so much sims 3 in like 2016 that origin reset the hours played back to 0

charactr exploration :0 :0 :0

i think niko would be an architecture student or maybe civil engineering. i dont have a reasoning for this it just seems right

on tuesday in my inorganic lab we are using a chemical with a 3/4/3 on the fire diamond :D

its isomer, tert-butyllithium, is a very rare maxed-out 4/4/4!! it’s not getting used in the lab on account of it being a fucking 4/4/4 but I’ve seen papers from at least 1 research group here that used it so

I am loved! 😊 [white knuckle gripping the sink unable to meet my own bloodshot eyes]
