My God, It's Full of Stars

It seems like we're just feeding characters to Miss Piggy at this point

Everyone go look up the song nasa banned from space

all those posts that are like "why am i researching currency debasement in the 1860s for a fanfiction no one is going to care" are full of shit, i just DNFd a fic for being obviously incorrect about the history of plumbing

#i think the underpinning perception to me re: this kind of thing #is that it’s what convinces you on a gut level that the author doesnt know what theyre doing and is not thinking seriously about their story #whether this is true slash accurate or not varies #but supposedly ‘ little ‘ things can be strong & clear indicators that an author didnt think through their scene and just wanted a specific #aesthetic or moment that accidentally hurls the reader out of immersion in the story #forex - an example from some prev tags - horses being tacked up in the middle of the night #just in riding gear for no reason like theyre cars that can be parked in a garage and just be ready to drive #a ‘ little ‘ thing but it’s like. fully immersion breaking. like oh thats not a real horse. these characters arent interacting with real #horses. they are Means of Transportationing With Aesthetic. and from there it’s such a quick slide into oh these characters arent real arent #engaging arent compelling #bc theyve accidentally fallen thru a hole where the author forgot to put down story (via @silentwalrus1)

"dni if you engage with irredeemable media! dni to kill a mockingbird stans" ok well CLEARLY you have never read to kill a mockingbird if you think it's irredeemable media and also having a book that was published in 1960 on your dni stan list is kinda ridiculous actually

i literally do not think any of you have ever read a book published before the 2000s before in your entire life

#'Dni if you've read to kill a mockingbird' what's is this the Florida banned books list #Who r u Ron DeSantis

My absolute favorite Alexander Siddig story - and oh boy I have a lot of favorites - is that one day he noticed everyone on the DS9 set was suddenly asking him these weird very carefully phrased gentle questions like hey buddy, how you doing? you feeling alright? Can we get you anything? you know you can always come to us for help if you need it and he was like wtf why is everyone being weird and it turned out that he had been showing up to set late and generally looking tired and the whole crew thought he had gotten into hard drugs but in reality what he was doing was staying up till 4 AM every night playing Ultima Online

The tumblrest sentence I have ever seen
