The reason you can't be the next J R R Tolkien isn't because you don't have the talent, but because you're not the right kind of unwell. Tolkien wasn't bent for fantasy worldbuilding; he was bent for constructed languages, and got into fantasy worldbuilding in order to provide a material context in which to ground the notional evolution of the languages he invented. If you want to be the next Tolkien, you can't start with the worldbuilding; you've gotta find something extremely specific to fixate on, and develop it in such depth that inventing a world to contain it is genuinely the most logical next step.

I oppress canadians at all opportunities so you dont have to

Fun fact! I genuinely had to condition myself out of saying Canadia and was only successful maybe a 3 years ago (5 years after this post)

You realize you let the piece of shit escape into the US? And that the piece of shit that replaced him has most of his shit (and family?) is also in the US?

I’m sorry that Justin Treudau escaped my grasp and is now dating a pop star who killed a nun

In all fairness, he is a master of disguise. Unfortunately, most of those disguises require blackface.

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be a part of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

hope is a skill

hope is a weapon you are trained to wield

The early 2010s millennial hope of a better more progressive future contrasted with the sharp traditionalist alt-right U-turn that so many Gen Z and millennial men went down scarred generations of women.

It's gender resistance, if anything.

The thing about Miss Piggy is that she kind of has a Roger Rabbit comedy superpower where she wins nearly any conceivable fight she's in. But unlike other characters of which that's true, like say, Bugs Bunny, who tend to win because they make the opponent play the game with their rules, Miss Piggy wins because the joke is that she can beat the shit out of literally anybody.

magical girl shows are good because their attacks will be something like "super love sunshine friendship beam" but make no mistake, super love sunshine friendship beam WILL end you. super love sunshine friendship beam will leave a crater in the ground where you once stood. you cannot understimate the power of super love sunshine friendship beam.

I take most of my community college classes online these days so on the occasion that I actually go to campus in person I’m like dang have nineteen year olds always looked this young? I can’t be getting older, right? Nah.

The older I get the less I understand why some people try to date eighteen year olds. Yeah that’s an adult and I’ll take them seriously and all that but they’re too smooth and polished though. They might not even have experience with making their own doctors appointments. They need two or three more years of life shaking them around in a can.
