Make sure you say "I wonder what they're doing right now..." about your comic relief friends every now and then so the episode can cut to their B plot

They need to invent writing for sleepy tired people curled up in bed eyes closed and dreaming

forgetting your headphones at home is the modern equivalent of leaving your sword behind in medieval times

just saw a “only one bed” fic with the major character death warning

#i guess that’s one way to solve that problem

“This bed ain’t big enough for the both of us.”

grabs your hand. you've had enough plot and exposition and character development lately im taking you to the beach episode

The existence of "dark elves" implies the existence of "light orcs".

my biggest creative passion in life is ‘the project I’m not supposed to be working on right now’

I can behave normally around books

I can be trusted in bookstores and libraries and you should take me to those locations

"How do you write such realistic dialogue-" I TALK TO MYSELF. I TALK TO MYSELF AND I PRETEND I AM THE ONE SAYING THE LINE. LIKE SANITY IS SLOWLY SLIPPING FROM BETWEEN MY FINGERS WITH EVERY MEASLY WORD THEY TYPE OUT. THAT IS HOW.

Do you ever start writing something that you’re excited about and that seems like it’s turning out well and that you’re getting eager to share, and then you start typing it up or doing an edit pass and it’s just awful it’s awful its premise is fundamentally flawed and it’s out of character and the prose is clunky and the plot is badly paced and ludicrous and the whole thing is embarrassing, how could you have done this, how could you have sunk so much time into this, you can’t even look at it, how is this that shining thing you were so excited about, how could you even have considered finishing it let alone sharing it with anyone, you’re crying, your mother is crying, nuns are spontaneously exploding in the streets,

reread the WIP I wrote this about and turns out actually it’s fine

Maybe, just maybe, going to a bookstore will make me feel better.

“You should be at the club.” No, I should be at the scholastic book fair.

"you should be at the club" I should be working on my fanfic

not even JRR Tolkien, who famously developed the concept of the Secondary World and firmly believed that no trace of the Real World should be evoked in the fictional world, was able to remove potatoes from his literature. this is a man who developed whole languages and mythologies for his literary world, who justified its existence in English as a translation* simply because he was so miffed he couldn't get away with making the story fully alien to the real world. and not even he, in extremis, was so cruel as to deny his characters the heavenly potato. could not even conceive a universe devoid of the potato. such is its impact. everyone please take a moment to say thank you to South Americans for developing and cultivating one of earth's finest vegetables. the potato IS all that. literally world-changing food. bless.
