I am so abuzz with the Lich King AU right now, I have the entire f*cking plot, I want to write it so bad, but I am also heavily invested in SM and the 10 other WIPs in the background already hahahaha I love my brain

We take drugs then you hold me close then I tell you how you make me whole.

How goes work?

It is kinda boring today...

Definitely not the person 🍁 !.

Waves of love.

To my dearest friends who I no longer talk to:

I messaged you on a warm summer evening reminiscing about the times we spent.

Me reaching out was the last attempt to connect with you; who, no longer had the time and energy to respond.

Maybe I was part of your not so fond memories, a fragment that kept you hopeful, a fragment that you have move on from.

You can update your socials, share pictures of how you were and what you were doing.

But the one text of mine that read "Sent 1 year ago" keeps me wondering why we drifted apart and why I tried and tried so hard to reconnect only to give up.

I wish we still could talk and share our experiences.

Alas, I cut the last string of connection myself and moved on keeping what good we had as a bittersweet memory of our teens.

People come and people go, in the end no matter how irreplaceable or special we may feel

we are all so very disposable.

no offence but the reason tumblr is “dying” is, well, yes, of course the cursed like/reblog ratio and the change in user behaviour (because of people being used to how instagram and tiktok work) BUT also the lack of weekly shows. i say it with my whole chest, they don't produce captivating and engaging stupid weekly tv shows anymore because streaming killed that so you have spikes of activity here when Something happens in general fandom or up to three days after a new season of whatever drops and then it's a wasteland. this is obviously an old woman yelling at a cloud missing supernatural and the vampire diaries and pretty little liars and all these other shows type of post but honestly give me back weekly tv shows where i have something to watch for 40 minutes almost every day of the week after work so then i can read and reblog it on tumblr give it back for the sake of my sanity

People come and go, but I hope you stay.

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

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.

Come and Go

People come and go and sometimes they never mean to stay When they do, you shoo them away When they're gone, your feelings grow

People come and go No matter how you make them stay, you let them slip away Never letting your feelings show

People come and go Sometimes as much as they want to stay, they can't; for life has its own way and it's never our time to know

People come and go Life has its purpose that they do so Never really matters why some come then go away In your heart they'll always stay

People come and go, like you come and go; So much as you want to stay, you must walk away

So does love come and go But God, I know that You know that this time, I want to stay Pray I won't blow it all away

… Now that you've come, don't go away God I hope this one will stay.

the whole guilt-tripping language in posts about important topics paired with how I'm still getting bitches in my notes talking about why it's actually good to tell "bad" people to kill themselves continues to prove to me that a lot of people have absolutely no concept of social justice or activism outside of assuming the worst of and then viciously attacking strangers on the internet
