Just a reminder: "POC" is not an adjective, it is a noun. If you're trying to describe a non white character, you don't say "POC character"-- it would be "character of color". Otherwise you're literally saying "person of color character" which... isn't correct.

An example of why one should use the Oxford comma.

I have a new idea for a play and the basic concept is that it's four boring suburban Jewish parents having an emergency meeting because a 19 year old stoner who spends all his time on 4chan being racist cracked the code and figured out the big giant conspiracy that all Jews are in on and how all Jews including these four suburbanites secretly control the entire world and every conspiracy theory is true and it's all a big satire of antisemitic conspiracies and how fucking stupid they are of you give them three seconds of thought.

There's a joke in South Park where George Bush is explaining how 9/11 really was an inside job and he has so explain all these ridiculous things ideas that would have to be true for any of the conspiracy theory to be true and basically doing that same thing with a lot of antisemitic conspiracies

Another thing is the hypocrisy, basically this one guy on 4chan would be a stand-in for antisemites as a whole, and there would be lines like someone explaining in horror how he figured out that they have every politician except for the ones he happens to like in their pockets

when I was in high school I had a literature teacher who had a policy of unlimited extra credit. All you had to do was read a book by a notable author (his discretion) and have a little chat with him after school to prove that you read it. No limits, no need for variety (one month I decided I really loved Kurt Vonnegut and just read everything of his I could get my hands on).

Yes, I was tearing through books constantly, and talking to this teacher at least weekly. Because even though I always loved reading as a kid, literature was always a very weak subject for me in terms of a teaching-to-standardized-test school setting (I just do awful on "what color were the curtains" type multiple choice questions. Those details don't stick in my memory THEY JUST DON'T). But that didn't matter for this class. I could just read my way out of any bad test score. I have always had fond memories of how I "fudged" my way through that class and "abused' the extra credit policy.

I was thinking about it again today, and only just now realized that he absolutely tricked me into being well-read, while my teenage self thought I was totally getting away with something. THAT MOTHERFUCKER. I hope he's doing well.

Okay I'm trying to design a poster for a play (it's silhouettes because it's a theatrical play lol)

which is better?

Option 1 (lady in a lab coat in the middle)

option 2 (lady in the lab coat off to the side)

Voting ended onJun 20

(note: the basic outlines of the characters were traced from Canva assets because I can't draw silhouettes, the arms and legs, clothes, hair, accessories and everything were done by me. Text, background, and texture are all from Canva)

Reasons why I like each one under the cut:

#writing #playwriting #writeblr #character art #my oc art #oc artwork #oc art #digital art #art #art advice

Rumpelstiltskin had the right idea if I made a deal with a lady that I could kidnap her newborn son as long as she couldn't guess my name and then I want to my home to sing a song about how she's never gonna figure out my name was Rumpelstiltskin, and then the next day I showed up and she asked if my name was Rumpelstiltskin, I too would get so fucking mad that I grab my leg and tear myself in half

My Shakespeare students (they are 12) wanted to summarize the lessons they learned this semester. If. Um. Anybody would like to see.

sandersstudies

I cannot emphasize enough that they made these with very little input from me.

Henry the Fifth

- ALWAYS encourage others to do their best.

- NEVER talk about people behind their back.

Antony and Cleopatra

- ALWAYS check your produce for pests. [They liked this one so much made a rap about it.]

- NEVER count your chickens before they hatch.

Hamlet

- ALWAYS act decisively

- NEVER tell your girlfriend to go to a convent and become a nun [Oh boy they REALLY liked this one]

Romeo and Juliet

- ALWAYS collect all the important information before making an important decision

- NEVER bite your thumb at us, sir. [They enacted this scene in the original language a lot, except they swapped every “sir” for “bro.”]

The Merchant of Venice

- ALWAYS pay your debts.

- NEVER judge based on appearances, because “all that glisters is not gold.”

The Tempest

- ALWAYS try to forgive others.

- NEVER be a colonizer. [Yes, a middle schooler said this]

Midsummer Night’s Dream

- ALWAYS stay on forest trails

- NEVER fall in love with an ass. [They were excited about this one for obvious reasons.]

Twelfth Night

- ALWAYS stay in touch with those important to us

- NEVER read other people’s mail

Macbeth

- ALWAYS wash your hands. [One of the girls performed Lady Macbeth’s entire Out Damn Spot monologue at the end of the semester]

- NEVER succumb to peer pressure.

sandersstudies

Yeah, I was re-reading the Tempest like “hmmm will they even understand the subtle themes here… this might be a cut-and-dry magic story to them.”

Kid 1 (known intellectual): Wait, Prospero is like… a colonizer to the magical creatures. He showed up on their island and enslaved them.

Kid 2: Enslaving people is bad! Is Prospero a bad guy?

Kid 3: But Caliban is bad! He wanted to kidnap Miranda.

Me: Yeah, it’s kind of hard, isn’t it? Just like how in real life most people are a mix of good and bad.

Kid 4: …is this why Shakespeare is supposed to be, like, really good?

I wanted to let you know that your vid will screen tonight at Vid Party, part of Wiscon (a feminist and diverse scifi/fantasy convention - currently online only). Thanks for making such an amazing vid, it is contributing to a beloved event!

Animal Farm covers I designed!!

I wish these were real I don’t really like any of the existing animal farm covers that much 😭

It's so funny to me that Mary Shelley, her husband, John Polidori, and Lord Byron had a competition to see who could write the best horror story and she wrote fucking Frankenstein. Imagine losing a competition that badly. Imagine just doing a silly little competition with your friend and she basically invents a new genre and creates one of the most famous characters in fiction. Imagine being proud of your little story and then she shares one that people will still read every day in 200 years. Imagine doing a writing competition with your wife and she becomes so recognizable that you'll always be known as Mary Shelley's husband

frankherbertsdune

Since my dad found this on Reddit and my brother found it on Instagram and it became my most well known post, this has become a little bit of a running joke in my household, especially the part where so many people made the exact same comment of trying to argue that Percy Shelley is just as important/influential as Mary, if not more

And so when I was babysitting my nephew, my brother saw my copy of Frankenstein and made a joke like "woah, was this written by Percy Shelley's wife???" and then today, I went to my dad's house and he gave me a really nice hardback copy of Frankenstein and made the same joke pretending to be shocked to learn that Percy Shelley's wife wrote a book. The three of us reading the exact same comment hundreds of times on every iteration of this post fried our brains so much that the three of us share one brain cell and it's only capable of the one joke about us being shocked that Percy Shelley's wife was a writer too

Update: I'm watching the 1931 Frankenstein movie, and it actually says in the opening credits "From the novel by Mrs. Percy B. Shelley" lmao

I made a community specifically for people writing scripts if anyone is interested. Plays, movies, TV, shorts, skits, radio plays, whatever it may be. Meant to be a place for providing feedback, advice, beta reading, but also with the explicit goal of being a place where you can seek out a cast to do a reading (so, technically, for both writers and actors)

Here's the invite link - go crazy! Even if you just have the tiniest bit of an idea and no idea where to start, or if you've written a 7 Act epic or a film trilogy, you're welcome

Does anyone wanna check out a 9 page comedy stage play I wrote for a competition? My friend editor is asleep rn and also I feel like maybe more eyes than a singular theater kid and a singular person who doesn't know shit about theater might not be the perfect range

“monsters in the backrooms” is still such a funny concept to me

“here’s a space that’s odd and makes you feel uniquely alone, like no one has ever been here before, but don’t worry, we put a critter in here because we thought that was boring”

fishmech

So you only like the first 62 words of the 80 word post that established the concept? Fascinating.

ashenmind

yes

ashenmind

like that last paragraph is exactly what I described; an author overplaying their hand because they don’t grasp that the space being empty is far more interesting than anything you could possibly put into it

ashenmind

there are 1001 one things you can put into the backrooms that are more interesting than monsters

once you have done that, find something else to do with your creative efforts. not everything needs to be suitable for a video game.

no. wander my halls for 10,000 years.
