James R. Wilson - Tumblr Edition

Becoming a writer is great because now you have a hobby that haunts you whenever you don’t have time to do it

I’ve always said the best twist is something that is obvious the second time round. If you’re familiar enough with the genre or whatever to figure it out first time round, then that’s grand! It means the groundwork has been laid correctly.

Personally have the “I’ve know you since deviantART” people instead, that’s always fun….

Writing is not about 'telling an epic story' or 'making something that will outlive you'. Writing is about going "You know what would be fucking awesome?" and then committing word crimes

that was everything I was hoping it would be. marvelous

“How bad is it, doc? Give it to me straight.” “I… I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

All of us on tumblr beating back the horror of being known professionally with sticks

good idea: marry a blacksmith so you can get free swords whenever 

Better idea; become a miner and then marry a blacksmith so he can have the required materials for you to get free swords whenever. 

Make a harem and marry a full production chain

Monopolygamy.

I mean, if your harem is full of blacksmiths would that make it a polyhammerous relationship?

You could make a whole polyarmory

people slipping up and saying shit like “biological name” instead of “deadname” is more or less proof these people don’t actually care about real science they just want smart sounding words and i guarantee if we could manipulate chromosomes they’d abandon all pretext of science and start yammering about how people are born with a “masculine/feminine essence” that “cant be changed” like none of these people actually know the chromosomes real fuckin function and they dont care they just know they cant be changed

i changed my name for non gender related reasons and people like to ask me “what’s your birth name” and i say “oh i actually wasn’t born with a name my parents just gave me one” and that tends to shut people up

Damn nice

that’s an excellent response. gonna have to steal it

That’s so perfect I can’t even compete with my annacdote about how my parents just never got around to naming me.

No hang on I need to hear that anecdote

you were literally assigned baby at birth
