Relax, qué relax? I'm relaxed!

I haven't actually counted up how much I made from my duology, but I would not be surprised if it was under $1000 in 8 years. Granted, it was a very small publisher and the books didn't get picked up in a big way, but still: it's miniscule money, all told. It's INCREDIBLY hard to make money off a book unless it's a NYT bestseller and the publisher is pushing it bigtime - and maybe, not even then! I don't know! So please keep buying books if you can, both because it will give a boost to the author and because publishers need to sell books to continue publishing. Books! Are great! It's okay to spend money on books!

the loneliness epidemic was invented by BIG SHIT to sell you more SHIT

the thing is, im always interested in The Paperwork. whenever The Characters moan and groan about The Paperwork and whenever it's left unspecified what The Paperwork entails i go aw... The Paperwork... u dont deserve this attitude, The Paperwork... im sure you're very interesting and important... this is because i like my job at The Paperwork factory and because i like homework and it's also because The Characters often hold positions of power attained through superhuman abilities and enforced with violence and i know that The Paperwork is there, aspirationally, to document their actions and protect people. from institutional neglect and from The Characters. when The Characters ignore The Paperwork to fuck each other on The Desk i think less of them for it. i do.

Tolkien did know this, he left specific instructions on how to translate his works and what to keep. Which is why Bilbo Baggins from Bag End became Bilbon Sacquet de Cul-de-Sac

BILBO FROM THE ASS END OF HOBBITSVILLE

Everyone calls it a noob class and true the increased damage to all targets + the stealth bonus makes Bisexual a good soloing option, and while a lot of people change classes from it later, the flexible roles and spec options (Grungler is some of the most fun you'll have playing Support Tank) make it a great class even at later levels, if you're willing to get through the confusing early game

This is a great take and I would like to adopt “Feelings Yakuza” in English actually, I feel like it conveys the whole thing way more obviously than “anti” (not to mention the muddled meaning of “proshipper”).

To avoid harassment, EA and SEA artists have started pre-emptively blocking users with "proship DNI" or any variation thereof in their profiles as a result of this article and said feelings yakuza are getting pissed that their DNIs are being hard enforced by the other side. How very dare.

I’m screaming with laughter at the actual Japanese term, o-kimochi yakuza. The “o” is an honorific indicator to indicate how prissy and self-important these people are being.

Why does everyone think fiction is just fantasy wish fulfillment now and not like an exploration of themes and ideas

People will be like “this movie is evil and gross because it depicts a predatory relationship” and then you watch the movie in question and it’s about how preying on young women is bad and impacts their lives negatively

“Why would they do this instead of just making everyone in the movie nice and normal and good” so we would have this conversation….

do you ever read goodreads reviews and realize that there are people out there approaching fiction is a diametrically different way than you
