Floating in the Blue

reblog if you have skilled writer friends and you're damn proud of them

when youre stressed about your current wip, start a new one! now you can be stressed about two wips instead!

François Arnaud every decision you made for Scott Hunter in that moment was immaculate. The wiggling as he waited for Kip. The way he said “no I do” with such certainty, the shaking his head in disbelief before the kiss because “wow I’m really doing this” the split second at the beginning of the kiss where he looks like he’s about to cry that melts into relief as the camera swings around. Right before, that look at the WAGs and realizing he can’t fucking take it anymore GOD it’s so GOOD

the natural lifespan of a fandom is unlimited. when well tended a fandom can be functionally immortal. and yet everywhere you look you see newly bred fandoms withering and dying when they’re barely a year old. barely even six months old. fans are looking at their six month old fandoms and saying i think it’s on its last legs, should i euthanise it? when with the proper care that fandom could outlive them for decades. it’s sad. sad state of affairs we’re in.

the internet has made people feel like their personal opinion on every topic is valuable and important and holds equal weight to everyone else’s but the truth is some spaces aren’t for you and some things you just can’t relate to or understand and that’s okay. learn when to stay quiet instead of inserting yourself into conversations that are actually nothing to do with you

People who recycle and put their trash in their pocket until they find a trash can and people who pick up liter when they see it and people who still cut the six-pack rings so animals don’t get trapped or choke on them and people who move turtles out of the road and people who stop for ducks and geese to cross all have a very special place in my heart. You are so good to this world and earth. I hope you know that.

Imagine how many great, weird, awesome stories would exist if writers actually wrote instead of scrolling on tumblr

"have brought Frodo nearly to the gates of Mordor. Afternoon lawn-mowing" —from the diary of Samwise.

hey you. teenage girl writing in her diary. quit talking about the boy you have a crush on and start writing about the current political situation, the valuation of currencies, and the level of technology your people hold. your diary might be the only piece of evidence our society existed after nuclear war fries all of our data backups. future historians don't need to know about damian, they need at least a secondhand accounts of the great water wars and whether or not your leaders truly did worship a deity called "the free hand of the market"

Keep writing about your crush Teenaged Girl. About your clothes, and how that other girl wore the same dress as you. Paint me a picture of what you were like.

Historians are going to hear about Damian and they're gonna LIKE IT

you get a comment on tumblr. it's a bot trying to scam you. you get a DM. it's a bot trying to scam you. you get a message on instagram. its a bot trying to scam you. you're an author and you get an email telling you how much they loved your book and want to showcase it at their bookclub. it's a bot trying to scam you (and it uses bad AI to pretend it knows your story). you get a comment on ao3 saying how much they love your fic - and they made you fanart!! it's a bot trying to scam you. you get a hate comment on ao3 which insults your writing or calls you a monster for writing something "problematic". it's a bot. but at least that one isn't trying to scam you.

the x-files is fun because any time you get a legitimately good episode they make sure to follow it up with some shit like The Ghoul That Caused The Challenger Disaster or Amish Pheromones. really cleanses the palate
