your best bet is prolly to just write the thing the way you want and let the reader be responsible for their own media literacy

I don't remember finding fart jokes particularly funny even when I was a child.

Five year old me, watching a movie with fart jokes: "Oh, how gauche. They're pandering to the lowest common denominator."

everyone is sick of reading everyone else's list of personal problems at the top of their blogs, we've been over all the reasons why this is a bad idea both interpersonally and as an online safety thing, however i think it should also be mentioned that just showing me the big list of what's wrong with you first thing when i click on your blog counts as spoilers and ruins the narrative tension. i clicked on your blog to find out over time, through a series of mysterious flashbacks and delightful subtextual nods, what's wrong with you. youre taking all the fun out of it

The fastest way to accomplish The Project is to cease being afraid of The Project. The Project cannot maim you. The Project cannot kill you. The Project is more afraid of you than you are of it. It is okay if The Project turns out differently from how it was in your head, and it is okay if it has flaws. You are capable of engaging with The Project.

Dude, I wouldn't even fucking notice until I go to Google something and the search actually works again.

The only reason I would notice is my life would suddenly get easier

the problem with tumblr spells is all of you lil sluts are casting and not giving it time to charge so you're all casting cantrips and not 9th level death spells. everyone wants to be the one to take them down no one wants to be the one who assists

Wait stop. everyone +like now and spread it a little but cast on the same day in August. lets try August 6th or something.

Some fake things that aren't real are low key really importsnt

my most Millennial trait is that i want big screen to think properly. to compose my thoughts. app exists for your thing but no website? bad bad bad not good for think, need big screen for think. i wrote this post on the small screen btw

I read somewhere that one thing that really pisses off companies about Millennials is that we won't make big purchases on our phones, we always feel compelled to get out a laptop or hop on a desktop for it

i'm generally alienated by the current atmosphere of calling characters "failures" and "pathetic," mostly because i like my characters hypercompetent, but also because i'm really interested in failure in fiction, from crushing defeats to partial wins to pyrrhic victories, and I especially like it when my hypercompetent characters can't or don't win (because the forces against them were too great; or because this was always a no-win situation; because they were outmaneuvered; etc). and so i find it really frustrating to see the character who made it almost all the way, against great odds, described as #cringefail, as though the fact that they didn't actually manage to take the world off Atlas' shoulders means that all their skill, all their work, all their strength, was always comedic, or worse, that they have no skill at all ("they're so bad at things!!") . and most of all i just think it's boring. there's so much more to any instance of failure than "haha, they just couldn't get it done," if we're willing to look.

i think ppl would be a lot happier and better-adjusted on here if they realized that being online on a website is like being in any other casual public space full of people. if u walk into walmart u dont immediately think to yourself “i have to be friends with everyone in this walmart and if not everyone likes me i’m a failure” and u really shouldn’t feel that way online either. likewise if there’s a guy in the walmart parking lot shouting obscenities u probably wouldn’t answer him and that’s literally an exact equivalent to some of the weird stuff that people on here seem to feel they’re obligated to respond to.
