Initiate Procrastination Sequence

the “sexy lamp test” but for disabled folks: if you can replace your disabled character with a beloved pet dog that needs an expensive surgery to survive then you have to throw out your manuscript 

reblogging one of my most underrated posts: the dying dog test

I’m gonna make my medical school advisees do this on their application essays too I think.

LARRY IS DOING HIS BEST AND YOU WILL PUT RESPECT ON HIS NAME GOD DAMN YOU

Trying to escape military service like: "Poison Seller, I require your weakest poisons."

it's actually so amazing she helped save the lives of the honorable men who did not wish to fight, while killing the most vile men, that is so fucking based

i hate it when people mistake "etymology" with "entomology." like, i know where they coming from but it still bugs me

sometimes i feel bad for having mostly female ocs and then i remember the large amount of people who are so obsessed with men and mlm ships exclusively to the effect of rampant violent misogyny so i think im ok

ill get too into my own little bubble like "oh no i must be overdoing it having so many women.... i really should diversify" but then stepping out and realizing that no it seems im far more in the minority than i thought and theres a scarily disproportionate amount out there who wouldnt even consider adding One

okay but we can't know for sure that the loud noise and bright flash offstage—which occurred after the character who was holding the gun exited the stage with it—was a gunshot, because we didn't get to directly see it

i do think a lot of implausible medieval plot devices make more sense when considering the fact that these people simply did not have glasses

like the king arthur problem of how were these people always accidentally sleeping with the wrong person? well 1) no glasses 2) no lights and candles are so expensive 3) royal couples didn’t even sleep in the same bed a lot of the time anyway 4) arranged marriage how much do you really know your spouse anyway? maybe not very well a lot of the time 5) people are drinking a lot idk. maybe not as absurd as one might think

this post is brought to you by the one time i woke up at a sleepover and realized that without my glasses i could not distinguish one friend from the other. haunting. all of arthurian literature was unlocked to me at that moment
