There's roughly twenty-two of them

Im always like "i will not add my two cents. i will not add my two cents" but i cant lie the pennies are getting sweaty in my hand

i don't really want to weight in on the "using big words in your writing is ableist" discourse happening on tiktok because i'm like 90% certain it's an anti-intellectual psyop to stir up drama in online circles to promote the use of ai to summarize literally everything and thus feeding the LLMs and lowering the populace's mistrust of such tools but i also have to say: dictionaries and thesauruses are the most accessible they've ever been. if you use an e-reader of any kind you can look up a word without leaving the page. there's a plethora of online dictionaries and if you just type a word + "meaning" into google it'll usually give you a definition. we used to have pocket dictionaries we used when reading in class. i have two on my shelf right now that i used in high school. stop letting the fascists purposefully misuse anti-ableism rhetoric to trick you into never thinking again.

If you're a new writer and you're asking yourself "is this too personal, is this too much, will people think this is weird" that feeling is the exact location of your actual voice. The stuff that makes you want to close the laptop is the stuff nobody else could write. The safe version is always worse. Always. I have never once read something and thought "this would have been better if it was a little less honest." go further. It's always go further.

Amazing that we call him the cookie clicker guy and not the "this website's hate mail game is insane" guy because one of those things had a much bigger impact on Tumblr culture than the other

"I don't recruit Sera because she has problematic views on mages" Sera is the representative of the average Thedosian in a cast full of people who cannot relate to that experience of just being A Normal Guy. The average Southern Thedas peasant doesn't hate mages, they are scared of magic itself like I hate to rain on your Mage Rights parade but that is the reality of the games' world. And Sera handles being surrounded by magic and mages a lot better than most people of her background (aka your average commoner) would. Do you have this level of vitriol towards the various actually anti-mage male characters or is it just the woman who gets singled out for not being a perfect #ally.

free my girl she did all that and that’s what makes her such a compellingly complex character. that’s her essence

I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.

we really should be calling it fanworks, not content

I'm here for fun and community not to rp a mega corporation's underpaid social media intern
