The salt hag from The Man Trap did nothing wrong

the thing that gets me about the lishan arc is that they weren't killed by one of the political factions but rather they all died of illness. which is why ye li can't even find any anger in her to motivate her down the mountain. all she is left with is this profound grief of losing every one she has ever loved. so much so that all she can think to do about it is sink into the grave with them. that the thing that does make her get out of that grave is hallucinating that the people she loved, the people who died, didnt die. That was the only way she could carry on

"Whimsy" is truly a wretched term. What maketh thee so carefree?

Art thou for fucking real

i miss when subscriptions didnt really exist and you could just pay one time to buy an app or some software, and then just.. have it. without ads. without recurring costs. without more paywalls. it was just yours forever.

as much as i poke fun at “tumblr prose,” i will acknowledge that sometimes when you’re writing and you’re really in the groove, you’re really feeling yourself, you’re on your capital-a Author shit, and you write a line that makes you go, “oh yeah, this is the Good Shit. this is so Subtle and Says So Much. this is Characterization. this is Themes and Motifs. you could write a whole essay about this one line. the master of the craft strikes again!” and then a month or whatever later when you’re editing you read over it again with post-write clarity and you realize you wrote some real “people die when they’re killed” bullshit

I always know its getting toasty out in the world because girls start reblogging this post like crazy

im realizing very fast that people do not in fact know that sometimes things in stories suck on purpose and it sucking is the point

I dislike the violence and unpredictability of the ice dispenser

nvm i’ve said too much #unknowme

One popular take on "deconstructions" of children's media I'll push back on is the idea that talking about how fucked up it is that a bunch of kids have to save the world is inherently pandering to adult audiences. Kids love it when kids' media is about how fucked up it is to be a kid who has to save the world – you've just gotta not be condescending about it.

Was just having a discussion with my fiance that taco bell should change their slogan to "it's gonna be okay" or at the very least shorten "live más" to "live". just feels like thats what we need from them

They should change it to "live por favor" and when they hand you your order you hold hands for a moment and look in each others eyes
