My Characters Beat Me Up and Take My Lunch Money

there are few feelings greater than when the timeline hands you an opportunity to give more than you take

hey. hey don't think about Lodi's office being empty until someone notices. don't think about the missing posters. "have you seen this man". his brother calling the police up and down to try and find him. always an enigma in the history of lost people cases. don't think about that.

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

Concept: PG-13 movie of a Shakespeare play, allowed one F-word. Where in the screenplay do you insert it?

When Fortinbras enters at the end of Hamlet. It’s his only line, and the play ends immediately after.

idk if this is controversial or not, but I really like when non-professional writing like fic has hints of author bleedthrough when it comes to like, what different people assume is common knowledge. Like sometimes I’ll be reading a fic and it’ll just be obvious that the person writing it is either obsessed with medicine or has been to medical school, because they’ll use terms that are just a shade too technical without explaining them. It’s never the super specific stuff that they’d know other people are unaware of, it’s always the things that once you’ve known it for a while you forget it’s niche knowledge. It’s fun because as a fanfic reader it reminds me of how this is a fun hobby community, where everyone has their own thing going on outside of fandom. Everyone’s got their own specialties and they can’t help but write that into their work sometimes

…well this post sure took off

new ask game; what do you think my hobby, skillset or knowledge or any other details of me based off my writing

one day, i hope to be moved from your downloads folder into somewhere more deliberate
