Never and Forever

i LOVE the word decorum . like please! have some decorum ✋

about 90% of fanfiction takes place in a utopia where men are thoughtful and unsure of their place in the world

>#I love how this gag would be funny at any point since the third century BCE

Ok*reduces you to a simmer* go rest for a while

LARRY IS DOING HIS BEST AND YOU WILL PUT RESPECT ON HIS NAME GOD DAMN YOU

My boss’s first language isn’t English. However, she loves giving inspirational speeches to everyone. I think today she was trying to tell us “don’t just stand around looking pretty”, but what she actually said was “WE DONT HAVE TIME TO BE SEXY”.

I’m not sure if this will be helpful to anyone, but you literally do not have to be a good writer to write and post fan fiction. Yes you will naturally get better at writing and finding your voice the more you do it but you do not have to be or become a professional level writer to enjoy writing and sharing fics. It’s common to hear people praise fic writers by saying their work is better than published books, and while I think this comes from a good place, that’s not the norm or expectation. There is also a sentiment that fic writing is “good practice” for becoming a better writer or doing something else later, but if fic is the only creative writing you ever do that is literally okay. Your technical skill does not mean you cannot have fun and build community with your writing, or that other people cannot love and find meaning in your work.

Do you think Michael Crichton had a deep-seated hatred of theme parks because he was too tall for all the rides?

Damn, it sure is huh

"I have been brought before the scriptures and my heresies found canonical" is an all-time banger line.

i love declining birth rates 🥰 "what a horrible problem! society will collapse!" oopsie it looks like you're gonna have to make having children worth it 😊 teehee you're gonna have to improve society in order to fix this problem, or it will all collapse. oh noooooo. how horrible. :3c

Soooo Pennsic (biiiig SCA medieval history event where I sell reproduction beads and Jacob sells ironwork) is barreling down on us once again, and as usual we are wildly unprepared, and I haven't made a bead in so long that I probably have a few dozen followers who don't even realize I do that. Today's goal, besides another day of keeping the animals and plants alive and watered in fuckass heat, is to move my flameworking shop down into Jacob's (air conditioned) shop and get it set up and make A Bead by the end of the day. Obviously more than one bead, but the goal is to get far enough to make a bead.

one thing i love about the phm fandom is the sheer amount of people who love stratt. like so many other fandoms would overlook her or hate her or reduce her into an evil caricature because shes a woman in a powerful position who did something bad to the white boy protagonist but the phm fandom ADORES her. and theyre right. eva stratt the character ever
