What's the trope name for when someone finds out they're the Chosen One(tm) and is like "No, thank you" and goes and does something else

You know, when I see fictional characters who repress all their emotions, they're usually aloof and very blunt about keeping people at a distance, sometimes to an edgy degree—but what I don't see nearly enough are the emotionally repressed characters who are just…mellow.

Think about it. In real life, the person that's bottling up all their emotions is not the one that's brooding in the corner and snaps at you for trying to befriend them. More often than not, it's that friendly person in your circle who makes easy conversation with you, laughs with you, and listens and gives advice whenever you're upset. But you never see them upset, in fact they seem to have endless patience for you and everything around them—and so you call them their friend, you trust them. And only after months of telling them all your secrets do you realize…

…they've never actually told you anything about themselves.

Tumblr's Taglist Change!

From @whumpsday, who had to turn off reblogs:

heads up everybody who uses taglists: tumblr's made a change where you can only tag 5 people per line of text. so if you have a taglist like this: @persononeee @persontwoo @personthreee @personfourr @personfivee @personsixx @personsevenn\ the last two people won't be tagged at all! in order to make sure everybody gets a notification, you can do it like this: @persononeee @persontwoo @personthreee @personfourr @personfivee @personsixx @personsevenn remember to check your taglist after posting, preferably on the mobile app, where the difference between tagged and untagged users will be visually obvious.

Feel free to use this to boost it everywhere; this blog already gets heavy notifications.

"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit

i hope you write (i hope we both write)

Daydreaming about my book:

Writing my book:

How do you know when a story is worth telling?

s/o to the artists on tumblr that spend hours making art and only get three notes if theyre lucky. youre still awesome and your art is still fantastic

do you think insight can be gained about an author from the stories they write?

no. authors are like squids and can only be understood through spirited but ultimately futile combat

When I read a fanfic I like, the author becomes a mini celebrity to me. So when an author with a work I like kudos’ or comments on my own fanfic I just-

Before you post, think:

Is it groovy

Is it smashing, baby

Is it shagedelic

Does it give you mojo

Does it make others randy

I am a WHORE for “the love is requited, they’re both just idiots”

"oh x is just y fanfiction w the serial numbers filed off lol" "[random popular film/tv show] is copying [regular heros journey formula]"

hey. HEY. artists. writers.
