oh peeta rizzlark i will forever mourn your book characterization getting nerfed in the movies

it's so irritating when a woman who's super cool and funny changes her entire personality when men are around and suddenly she's a dumb little baby

My favourite thing about the Steve-Dustin friendship is that Dustin randomly stole Steve from the streets in broad daylight one day, and he's been stuck mothering a number of children ever since...

writing tip: don’t tell us your character’s backstory. don’t tell us what your character is thinking. don’t tell us what your character is doing. don’t tell us anything. the reader should simply look at a blank page and be suddenly overcome with emotion.

Good tip. I know a lot of writers who cry uncontrollably when they see a blank page, so I’m sure that feeling will translate directly to the reader.

Emily Dickinson can’t reblog this but she loved herself an em dash.

y'all need to relearn the word erratic and stop using schizophrenic/bipolar/psychotic as a replacement

y'all need to relearn the word particular and stop using ocd as a replacement

People need to relearn the word "egocentric" and stop using narcissist/narc as a replacement.

People need to relearn the word "impulse" and stop using "intrusive thought" as a replacement

People need to relearn "narc" as narcotics officer and snitch again too

Thank you for SAVING MY LIIIIIIIFE!!!

I love how NYC has done everything under the sun to deal with the rat problem and now they’re circled back and are like “Ok. We’ll legalize bodega cats. We need cats manning the food stores.” ancient problems require ancient solutions.
