i think one big problem with the united states is that they forgot to name the country

take mexico for example that's A name. Colombia is a name. Canada. United States of America is a description.

like argentina is the united provinces of the bla bla but the name is argentina you know

I wish people would stop being purposely obtuse when it comes to America. Everyone knows that within context the damn country is just fucking "America". When a European refers to "American tourists" they're not talking about fucking Brazilians or Candaians. Get the fuck over it already and just call it AMERICA like everyone else.

Was super bored last night so instead of watching any of the hundreds of shows on my tbw list I clicked on a random anime and decided to see what happens. so far I am very confused but somewhat intrigued. by the subplots that is. I could care less about the actual main plotline and I get the feeling the actual writers feel the same way, since it's not getting much screen time. Also it took me FOREVER to figure out if Random Kid was secretly magic or if everyone in this universe could turn into birds

update: i am liking this concept. i like their twist on the younger brother becomes king and his jealous older brother schemes against him trope. however. it is, unfortunately, somewhat lacking in execution (the whole anime not like this one specific plot line this remains one of the better ones)

You can replace [ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY] with [SCROLLING] but watch out. This sucks bad 👍

hmmm, this seems to be some kind of curse breaking spell… be free ye reader

god's weakest soldier is scrolling tumblr instead of being productive or participating in any of their hobbies

THIS IS A QUILT?!?!?!?

Something nobody prepares you for is that the better you get at writing the harder it becomes. beginners write freely because they don't know enough to know what's wrong. then you learn. and suddenly you can see every single flaw in real time as you're making it and you have to write anyway while your own brain is in the corner going "that's a weak verb. that transition is lazy. you've used that word three times." getting good at this is mostly just getting better at ignoring yourself.

i have this unrealistic fantasy in my head where if you calmly and logically explain something to someone perfectly they will understand your position and gain knowledge from the exchange. unfortunately in the real world this does not happen often

Analyzing the politics of a work that's meant to be apolitical is actually a really interesting exercise because it asks you to critically examine what the creator considers to be "political" in the first place. Which ideas are just How Things Are, and which ones are Political, and how is that influenced by the creator's beliefs?

Usually this just ends up with you looking like a moron btw

Angrily lashing out at the suggestion that it's possible to do basic media analysis was foundational to the ragebait ecosystem of the 2010s, from which we got basically the entire culture of modern far right politics, btw.

I genuinely believe myself and others are being so sincere and literal when we say TOUCH GRASS

I went outside and got an education, that's where I learned that you can obtain knowledge and insight through analytical methods, then noticed that some people who sit on the internet yelling at strangers get really mad about that constantly.

my first draft has such raw potential. emphasis on raw. this thing is still blinking.
