However, she was able to earn her living and to begin to be, which she never thought as a child that she ever would be, a real person.

I know Gabriel is canonically really popular with Heaven’s residents but there’s bound to be some heavenly loser with pronoun envy

#my art #ultrakill #gabriel ultrakill #i love angel pronoun lore #he earned those pronouns fair and square and now he gets to wear a he/him pin like the badges on military uniforms #of course he has blue wings and pronouns #also can you fuckin imagine being a virtue??#imagine you live your entire life as a Good Christian(tm) and then u get to heaven and find out not only do u still have to work a 9 to 5 #you have to do it in hell #forever #man i’d be salty too #straka's shitposts #sketches

no ai generated content will ever compare to the absolutely cartoonishly evil plot to cut down trees to prevent workers from striking to get livable wage.

#tree law #sag strike #wga strike #also also it can be hard to admit but the US does set some industry standards so although im on the other side of the world its concerning!!#if bigwigs at US companies are screwing out their own workers what would this mean for those producing content in other countries?#what about our own local production companies that model american production houses?#oh we cant pay you a living wage cause thats industry standard. dont believe me? here is what a writer at X USA company at X TV show earns #also if you “cant afford” to pay your creatives a living wage then maybe you shouldnt be in charge #so yeah #i think this whole strike thing will affect more than just the US #just fucking pay your creatives

That viral post that's going around about how people who write "book quality" mlm fic are too "normal" to publish and have real jobs so only "weird" people publish their "shitty" fanfic is so completely out of touch with reality and I am giving a massive side eye to everyone reblogging it.

Not only is it completely, easily verifiably untrue (you cannot enter any professional writing space without tripping over a dozen grizzled scifi writers who got their start by filing off the serial numbers and publishing their Star Trek fanfic even going back decades ago??? it's a whole thing?? plus how can you look at the mlm category on Amazon right now and say with a straight face that people aren't publishing shitty Spirk and Stucky fanfic??? Oh, honey...) it's also the perfect example of this kind of sneering elitism that true artists would never sully themselves by seeking profit, they do it only for the purity of the thing that always somehow leads back to, "no one should be paid to make art, actually."

The only reason you're seeing more published fanfic right now has nothing to do with the idealistic purity of your hypothetical government employee written smut of the past vs the debased scribbles of those awful straights of today and everything to do with the fact that a) self-publishing has created a voracious readership that wants a ton of content so it's become a viable, flexible income stream for many, especially disabled people b) anyone can publish now with self-publishing tools so there are less gatekeepers and c) lockdown got a lot of people into fandom and therefore writing who never tried it before.

And if you really think there's no "shitty" published mlm and no "book-quality" m/f writing out there that started as fanfic, then you are clearly not a reader so why are you even talking about this?

#love how they manipulated people into spreading that post by making it seem like a cishet vs gay thing #when the real message is OP thinks trying to sell your writing is cringe and 'weird' and 'normal people' with jobs would never #which would of course never have flown on the fandom website #so they played into the queer shipping is purer than cishet shipping puriteen thing #and it worked!#because my god people are gullible #this is the direct pipeline that leads to AI thievery #''normal' people write for the joy of it anyway so why do you need pay? you are just greedy and 'weird'!'#'oh no this isn't about who we get to call cringe and who gets to profit from art it's about um...#(quick what's a hated m/f ship?).. oh uh 'shitty' REYLO #and not our super pure uh... (spirk is still popular right? lets throw in that avengers one too to make it seem timely) stucky!'#I'm sorry if I have no sense of humor about this but the year is 2024 and people are still way too ready to sneer #about writers trying to earn a fucking living in the shittiest timeline #and i need you to look deep into yourself and ask you why it's so important to you to tell yourself that only people writing what you like #are 'normal' with real jobs and to vilify everyone else as 'weird' and 'shitty'#for trying to make an income during a financial fucking crisis #i would say sorry for ranting about this but I'm not sorry because wtf #write whatever you want #publish whatever you want #there is no moral fucking purity in what the content is #and one thing certainly doesn't make you more 'weird' or 'normal' than the other #like there is soooo much shitty mlm that started as fanfic???#that post is 100% OP made up some guys to get mad about and called them relyos for the clicks #writing #publishing #writblr #writeblr #i wasn't going to tag this anything but you know what fuck it I'm mad #i had like 5 more tags but tumblr cut me off which is fair 😅#fan fiction

Ok I just realised how funny the Stellaron hunters are as a group.

You have destiny’s slave, a prophetic script writer who has foreseen how every event will ever play out, a daring manipulator incapable of feeling fear, a crazed immortal who’s only purpose is to be a weapon, a master hacker and reality manipulator, and a fearsome mech pilot who has no mercy for her victims.

But they’re also a cat (???), woman who wears contacts even though they barely alter her eyes, man who really really really wants to die, gamer girl, and girl with the actual lifespan of a firefly.

#if you include the trailblazer then you have a walking bomb capable of earning the gaze of and harnessing the power of multiple aeons #who is also a silly little trash raccoon who lives for the bit #honkai star rail #hsr #Stellaron hunters #blade hsr #hsr blade #Kafka hsr #had Kafka #silver wolf #elio hsr #hsr elio #sam hsr #hsr sam #firefly hsr #hsr firefly #can they not have names that are either normal objects #or a dead author #please

Charlie: "I just wanted you know that, if I wasn't bone dead tired from dealing with our wonderful amazing exhausting friends all day with you, I'd be making love to you right now."

Vaggie: "Charlie this had better be a dream because if you woke me just to say that I'm kicking you out of bed."

Charlie: "Okay. Dream me loves you very much."

My world shattering when I realize that Chilchuck is underweight

Post-canon Chilchuck stops dieting and gains weight real

Edit: I am going to SCREAM

#Dungeon meshi #chilchuck tims #give him the dad bod. He earned his beer belly #It makes me sad please retire and let yourself live. Gonna draw him chubby.#Someone mentioned that with the changeling incident halfling Marcille and dwarf Laios had a hard time keeping up with the others’ pace #Which implied that Chilchuk is normally kind of running everywhere with the party #He doesn’t look toned tho he looks like he’s all skin and bones nooooo #Senshi feed this man #i reblogged with more evidence/interesting stuff btw #Isn’t it kinda messed up how half-foots don’t show the same physical signs of starving that other races do?#Who knows how many of them are malnourished. You can’t tell at a look #That does tie in with how other races dismiss them and their struggles tbh. Such “small” and “hard to notice” problems

#I hope I made you smile #which one is your favourite?#twitter account we rate dogs #I think the chain submitted the pictures of leg and twi to the account #they spent MONTHS planning payback #and they were both mortally offended they didn't earn a 15/10 #why yes. Wolfie is holding ladies underwear in the one where it says he breaks hearts for a living #I edited the profile pic but not the dog names #more ironic if the names are wrong #Twi gets called Teddy #I think it's funny. anyways #hope this made you happy #linkeduniverse #linked universe #Lu #lu twilight #lu legend #Lu Wolfie #Lu memes

Sultry words stimulate the mind while expert techniques stimulate the body. But if you want a woman to really open up her desires, she needs trust. Trust stimulates her soul. Earn it, and the rest will flow naturally.

Abusive parents will convince you that you're incapable of being independent, when all your life you were nothing but independent. You were growing up and figuring it out and resolving issues and solving problems all on your own because you had no goddamn parents because nobody filled that role for you. You were on your own from the start. Nobody ever enabled you to be anything but independent.

#abusive parents #child abuse #domestic abuse #child neglect #escape sabotage #escaping abuse #psychological abuse #emotional abuse #abusive parents will act like being dependent on them for bed and food is like being incapable of earning money or living in any other plac #when being blackmailed for food and bed is the lowest possible living condition on earth #anything else is easier #anywhere else is easier

Remember when George did an interview with Channel 4 at his flat in 2019 and this was his home decor...

The nan curtains, the faux fur sofa throw, the mirrored dining table, three lamps in a tiny sitting room... I'm obsessed with all of it...

#f1 #george russell #This is when he was earning 5 figures and in debt by the way so I'm 100% not knocking it #I'm living for the student flat vibes compared to the expectations people have of f1 driver's glamorous lives #This is where he tells the story that he couldn't see the starting lights in Australia so just guessed via a reflection #He's a long way from Monaco #This is your posh tory
