Figured Out What A Horse Is

guys im feeling quite vulnerable now and i need u to be honest with me. If an evil palette swapped clone of myself started wreaking general mayhem with villainous intent you'd be able to differentiate him from me right. You wouldnt get us totally mixed up and accuse me of committing all the evil deeds he did

I don't think Tolkien is a good fantasy writer because he scored the highest at some objective Best Fantasy Book Test that every fantasy writer has to take, I think he's a good fantasy writer because he created a world based on things that he was interested in. I feel like a lot of fantasy writers think that they need to create a whole language for their world because Tolkien did and obviously his books are the best so they have to emulate him, but Tolkien did that because he was a linguistics nerd. I think the lesson to be learned from him is not that you have to include elves and deep history and new languages, but that you have to write endlessly about the things you are a huge nerd about and use those things to create your fantasy world

Those big bad racist movements didn't always come out guns blazing with the racism. A lot of them had their roots in pastoral romanticism, rural romanticism and pushes to return to traditional ways, traditional skills, traditional language, and such. It was a rewriting of history, a mythologizing of history before it was ever an outright claim of superiority. It was a "romantic nationalism" before it was violent nationalism. So yeah...I think about that a lot in my adventures through the witchcraft and pagan communities. It helps...with discernment and stuff.

this is legitimately the funniest post on this site

Sometimes a guy in a fanfiction has the ability to read someone's gaze with the same level of detail a wine taster can taste the wine

"He glared at him with anger in his eyes, but behind that longing and sorrow over things left unsaid, a subtle but desperate yearning for things to be different, and with just a hint of roasted nuts right at the end."

we've all heard about the male gaze in media, but we've yet to explore the equally important sommelier gaze

i say this a lot, but it's always really striking how many people assume that like, criticism necessarily comes from a place of moral outrage and personal vitriol, and that therefore when i make a comment about something's political positions i'm "fighting a fight" against it. i literally just enjoy thinking about art and verbalizing those thoughts is useful in organizing and refining them

hate how I will have a very simple thing (tagging flashing lights is a bare minimum of accessibility) and people crawl outta the fuckin woodworks to tell me how stupid that is like bro
