tiny chapel
- mice in flowers -
at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you
at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.
at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly
at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.
at some point in your life you will be adding a small pasta to a soup and you will think "that is not enough small pasta." this is the devil talking. the pasta will absorb the stock and expand. this is how you end up with a soup that is a solid mass of soggy ditalini.
At some point in your life you will be adding garlic to a dish and you will think "that is not enough garlic." These are angels speaking. They are correct. Add more garlic.

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
we're going to try again witha little but minimal casting
IT will happen in August of 2026. like to charge and reblog to cast but cast sparingly
Wait stop. everyone +like now and spread it a little but cast on the same day in August. lets try August 6th or something.
CAST NOW
everyone post your biggest hear me outs my friend just showed me two conventionally attractive white men in a row i need to teach him what a real hear me out is
.world's largest excavator- nay, world's largest vehicle- the bagger 288
.also, scale reference! just the wheel is 70 feet in diameter
'here's a real hear me out' >>posts world's most conventionally attractive piece of machinery
I really, really disagree with the idea that C4 validates Taliesin’s “Facts come and go, stories are what lasts” mishegoss. We’ve seen several instances of characters being able to get facts and history directly from the source, chiefly the Kibbenimkedaz, which allows the bearer to cast Legend Lore on a stone and see its memories, and Azune, both with his Mending being flavored to literally make the item remember its previous state and with him awakening a dragon that had been long forgotten. Even KoTher’ai, although it is no doubt not a completely faithful telling of Murzat’s rebellion, summoned the actual spirits of history on the actual spot where Murzat died and showed us a little truth of who Murzat and his allies were.
In Aramán, as in our world, stories shape how history is seen in the public consciousness, but they do not have the last word. There are people trying to uncover facts hidden among the popular fictions, and they matter deeply. Thaisha knows that the defaced temple of Trozhna was originally a shrine to Tehana. The Schemers know Yanessa didn’t actually resurrect herself. Hell, Wick knows his power comes from his basement grandpa. No matter how deeply buried by time or hidden by the people in power, the truth exists, and you can find it, and you can use it.

Do u ever read a friend’s fic and it’s like holy shit how do you consider me qualified to talk to you?
No
Y’all need better self-esteem
Alright I have been enabled so I’m gonna say somethings.
Fatalistic sarcasm is a thing, however, it usually hides deep feelings of insecurity, and whether you consciously recognize this or not, it validates them. Seriously, I used to constantly make jokes about how other people’s work was better than mine, and it did nothing for my self-esteem, it was a tool to deflect from my own feelings of inferiority and it actively worked against me thinking critically about my own and other people’s work. If it was a joke I could put myself down instead of analyzing why someone’s work was better and trying to incorporate that into my own
As someone who took creative writing courses I was constantly surrounded by other brilliant people, if I hung my head in shame every time I read something as good or better than mine I never would have lifted it.
As someone who has watched a lot of writers with very good idea’s crash and burn I mean it when I say you either develop a healthy sense of respect for your own work or you stop writing.
There’s three things I really wish more people consider
1. Do you think their work is better because it’s a different style, one that you like? There’s an element to ‘the grass is greener on the other side’, I have seen people work in some amazing styles that I wished to god I could replicate, some I managed, some I never did, but there’s nothing wrong with either. having a different style Is Not the same as having a bad style, each has their own strengths and you can admire one without putting yours down
2. Knowing someone who is a better writer is a blessing and if they knew you were using their work to bring yourself down they would not be happy, mooch off that friend, analyze their work, ask them to edit your shit, as long as you’re not annoying them be shameless about it. the best thing creative writing did for me was give me the confidence to ask people to critic my work and shamelessly better each other for that sharing
3. People need to normalize being confident in their work, the quality of your work has literally nothing to do with your worth as a person, the quality of your work has nothing to do with your worth as a writer. You can write something really shitty and the only thing I’d say to you is that your trying and I respect you for that
this is true for art too btw

best yard sale find ever:
I'm thinking about it because of the post I just reblogged, but there is a lot to be said about how valuing individual relatability and personal catharsis over seeing narratives and characters as vehicles to explore complex ideas or deliver social commentary and how that intersects with fandom to create environment where extremely projectionist -that is to say, readings of a character which begin and end at "they're literally me"- readings of characters are not only common but taken as grounds to find dislike or different readings of character as a personal attack. If the most important thing about storytelling is how the narrative is relatable to the individual reader/viewer/player, if the audience being able to see themselves in characters is the sole end goal, then denying that is denying that they can get anything out of a story.
There's also the aspect of people taking dislike of a character they relate to as judgement on themselves and their experiences, which again, if the value of stories is in being relatable, then saying you don't relate is passing a negative judgement on the value of what is being portrayed. It's a very narrow and individualist way of understanding and parsing stories, but damn does it explain a lot.
