The Warthropian orbit got me

I always assume the train will be so boring and I bring seven things to do but then I'm entranced by the wonderful window the entire time

Alright your Discord avatar and tumblr avatar are locked in a closet for 7 minutes ala 7 Minutes In Heaven. What happens

anyway what’s the best book you’ve ever read and yes if you say some YA shit i will kill a hostage.

mulder and scully are never on the same page relationship wise because he's always like. I'll kill for you. I'll die for you. do you want me to die for you? I'm gonna do it right now. meanwhile scully's like no thanks, could you have a normal conversation with me instead maybe? but he's already pointing the gun to his head

"You know what's harder than Getting Better? Living Like That" is just the thesis for my whole shit going on right now honestly. You know what's harder than doing my physical therapy? Hurting All The Time. You know what's harder than addressing my gender dysphoria? Hurting All The Time

I'm Doing The Hard Thing and it's *easier* than how I was living before. If you make yourself feel better you will have more energy to spend on Getting Better. Nice inch nails - the upward spiral. Crawl out of your grave Thursday

Thinking about the whole "there is no platonic explanation for this" thing and how it doesn't account for intense platonic situationships and anyways I think we should start saying "there is no casual explanation for this" bc really what we're talking about is the way the characters in question are Obsessed with each other

I have never, and will never, use "ofc" to mean "of fucking course". It literally stands for OF Course...

i DO believe that a good writer can make mischaracterization work. oh there's a character who doesn't normally cry? figure it out!! disect the character. make the situation cryable for them. make that character cry ugly tears even if it goes against their very nature. YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK!!!

A great piece of advice I've seen is "Don't fixate about what the character would never do. Think about the circumstances that would drive them to do this, even if they wouldn't normally."

Best advice ever!

if you're having trouble writing I cannot recommend enough that you read original fiction instead. Just read!! Short story, novel, whatever, it'll get you thinking about why you like it, why you don't, what kind of structures you like or not, or maybe it'll just fill you with enough love for the craft to just get writing without worrying too much beforehand. Either way reading is a great way to let your brain breathe NEVER forget that 😤
