the style of writing is not the problem, not the genre, not the subject matter, not even the words themselves. the SINGLE defining issue with the “Tumblr Prose” style i was trying to tackle is that it’s front loaded with imagery and metaphor and completely lacking in sense, reason, symmetry, motion, conveying information. i agree that plenty of writing can sound good and feel good to read when it’s all metaphor and visceral images but it needs to have a baseline that can carry it through or else the tail wags the dog and it’s all cool “quotable” lines and no substance, nothing to read between the lines, no character

If any competition needed to be on Tumblr, it's this one.

Every time you think it's a given, that there's NO WAY that Red or Yellow could catch up to the other one given the lead, you are wrong. Right down to the wire.

Oh, to be granted the power to speak to animals for just like 38 seconds, so that I could tell this pebble-brained feathery fuckass that nobody is impressed that he started singing earlier than anybody else. There's no bird pussy available at 2 am. The dames can sense your desperation. Stop screaming for at least three more hours.

Grabbing an elf by the ears like handlebars and riding them but not like in a sexual way i just crash into a wall killing us both

i was like 'it's weird the way everyone is doing free pr for the catholic church rn just bc the pr for the new pope has already been that good' and someone was like 'wait? why don't you like the pope? did something happen?' i feel insane i'm not exaggerating i didn't even know what to say?? 'did something happen?' yes the last 2 thousand years of global history, and no, going back 2,000 years in catholic history is not dramatic because it's remained consistently that bad throughout and in fact i do think the church should answer for every single century of its sins while all of its assets are returned to the people from which they were stolen and its global power is dissolved.

I haven’t said anything interesting in a long while. this will continue

I do think that there's something to be said about how "nerd culture" in general, and comics in particular, got sort of gentrified as they became big business and therefore mainstream culture. Like there was a wildness to them back when they were disposable shit for kids and weirdos that I feel has been kind of lost.

Anyway the best thing you can do is support indies. Indie comics; indie games; indie films; indie science fiction and fantasy novels, like, oh, incidentally, my own novel set in post-apocalyptic fairy-occupied Canada.
