My hottest fanfiction take is I think people should stop posting multi-fandom oneshots as a single fic with like 50+ chapters and instead post them as individual fics

Actually witches grow from the bottom of the cave up while wizards grow from the top of the cave down

I’m probably less sentimental and whimsical than the average bear but my brother is even less sentimental than I am so I’ll be like wow isn’t that a beautiful sunset and he’ll be like “it’s a sunset. There is nothing remarkable about it.” and then take photography of it that’s amazing and well done and then I compliment him as a fellow photographer and say I like his art and he’s like “it’s really easy to do” and I’m like “can you take a compliment” and he’s like “why should I” and then I have to fight back the urge to judo flip him

[Getting so angry it makes my brain disease worse] people sre supposed to be nice..

It’s all well and good if the CCOD finale wasn’t your thing but also I feel we are all forgetting something: this season was directly inspired by WWDITS. Ya know, the show that brought us “I drank the blood of some people and the people were on drugs and now I am a wizard.”? The one that had some good throughline emotional beats but was mostly Bit fuckin City? I mean Zac’s character was based on Zoolander!! Murph was a vampire who thinks he’s some sort of Batman!! THERE WAS A GHOUL HORSE NAMED GHORSE. Batchild swallowed a missile in the first episode! They wrote off multiple shit shows as “Banksy’s”!! If you wanted a serious season and got a silly one I get it. But you can’t pretend this was ever all that serious outside of Brennan’s signature capitalism and fascism sucks tropes. You can’t criticize something on criteria it never met (or really even intended to meet) in the first place.

it sucks that the overwhelming majority of medical messaging around salt/sodium is "evil poisonous substance that you're definitely already eating way too much of," because like. you do still need it. (trust me, as a POTS-haver, I've had to completely rewire my own brain about salt.) and you need more salt when the entire northern hemisphere is hot enough to fry an egg on. ever tried sucking down the recommended 64oz of hydration per day entirely as water, only to find you're peeing constantly without any of the purported benefits of being "hydrated"? assuming you don't have another medical condition that causes frequent urination, your body probably needed more salt/electrolytes to be able to hold onto that water and make use of it. if there was ever a time to keep a sports drink/pedialyte/etc within constant reach, it's when the heat index is 110°F/43°C.

"we cut the nobody scene from the odyssey" "we cut the religious trauma and parental abuse from carrie" i'm starting to think that studios barely funding original films is starting to have an effect where directors make up a story and then slap an IP on it in order to sell. or maybe some bitches just can't read anymore idk it's one or the other

you are not immune to inventing an arbitrary set of rules that only you have to adhere to

thinking about how ursula k leguin said "what goes too long unchanged destroys itself. The forest is forever because it dies and dies and so lives" and how everyday i wake up slightly different and i can feel myself shed the skin of who i used to be slowly, slowly, until i look back and can scarcely recognise who i was... but also she is still a part of me, part of the leaf litter and the humus, supporting me as i send new roots down and new leaves stretching up to the sunlight

the king has abruptly fired 60% of his wizard staff, so he’s about to be abruptly surprised at who floated 100% of his formerly floating sky castle

I heard they're planning to maintain their levitation rites with autonomous constructs from now on, saying wizards are going to be totally obsolete within the season... so, ah, I'd invest in falling island insurance.

wow, this thing is flinging peasants to the their airy deaths willy-nilly but the king has just ordered the sky rescue team ‘straight to my panic gyroscope no extra stops’

Autistic social anxiety is not "social anxiety" in the typical sense. An anxiety disorder is defined as an "irrational fear". So for example, imagine someone who is afraid to speak in case everyone looks at them and goes "what the heck are you saying you wierdo." If that person is neurotypical, then the chances are that they're very unlikely to get that response. Therefore their fears are irrational, and that is true "social anxiety". If you put an autistic person in that scenario, on the other hand, then probably the reason they're afraid of that response is because they've received it many times before. They're fear is based on repeated past experiences, therefore it is not irrational and not the simply an anxiety disorder. That's why people giving the classic social anxiety responses to autistic people is so unhelpful. "Just go out there and talk to people, it'll be fine," or "keep pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and you'll get more confident," don't work if the problem is real and not just in your head.

I love characters who crave validation I love characters who have deeply selfish wants and they desperately try to fulfill them, I love characters who think they deserve better than this and lash out about it, I love characters who Need to be Important and wanted and cared about, I love characters who end up sacrificing others and hate it, I love characters that Really, Really need what they want. I love characters who can't decipher between what they want and what they actually need. Characters who's desires are so world bending that it aches. Characters who kinda hate themselves about how selfish they are. Characters who are fucking rancidly envious and angry about what they don't have. Characters who need attention and love. Characters who are emotional vampires - and cling to you and say PLEASE

(knows nothing about a subject) I Should Start An Ambitious Project

Hyperfixation so bad people think of me when they see it

they're trying to get me to do something called ""my job"" instead of reading about medieval english poaching laws
