Summary: "Yes. One For All emerged from the will to resist my brother, but…the moment you reached your hand out to me was when One For All was truly born."
(Or: For two months, Yoichi ran with Kudou and the resistance before he died by his older brother's hand. For two months, he knew what his life could have been.)

they should invent a disproportionate emotional response that goes away when you understand it's disproportionate. they should invent a way to logic yourself out of emotions

so. i just learned that my entirely me-written resume flags as being AI-written by automated HR systems for a few writing quirks and the fact that i followed all the rules of good resume writing, which is apparently a telltale sign of AI use in this fucking hellworld. i've been desperately applying to jobs that i am massively overqualified for for months with no response, not even an interview, and now i find out that at least part of the reason is because some fucking moron decided that following the rules every career advisor has given me for a decade means i cheated and should be disqualified. the ai bubble cannot pop soon enough. what the actual fuck.
"frequent use of action-result sentences. bullet points all start with action verbs. no career gaps." girl what the fuck are you talking about. that's just resume writing advice being followed. i just did what i was told. it's a fucking resume. you're supposed to do all that stuff. what the fuck do you mean it looks ai generated and wouldn't pass basic detection systems?????????? for following the resume writing rules????????????

truly one of the most demoralising things about being in the job market atm is "only successful applicants will be notified" is practically a universal standard. so you spend hours, sometimes days filling out applications, writing CVs and cover letters only to be ghosted as the only form of communication. Not even a "thank you but this time you've been unsuccessful" email. You're in a constant state of "did I not get it or have they not contacted me?" and you just have to eventually conclude you were unsuccessful without so much as courtesy, "sorry, but thank you for your application." A literal thankless cycle for months and months and months. You'd think with all the ways to automate these processes they would at least have the time, means and decency to acknowledge your submission and let you off the hook, but no. You're just in limbo in every possible way in the name of "efficiency". Solidarity with everyone going through this because it is truly dehumanising and demoralising to work so hard on putting yourself forward constantly without acknowledgement or useful communication of any sort for long periods of time, and most ppl simply will not have any compassion for what that's like.
The one thing about gender is that frankly my ideal gender situation has very little to do with me and infinitely more to do with everyone else on the earth who cannot be fuuuuuuuuucking cool about anything ever
attaching something to an email is so scary. what if i accidentally put hard-core porn in there. i don't think i have any downloaded but what if i do and i attached it to the email. what then.
You gotta be really publicly passionate about things if you want your friends to text you. Bc people will forget to text you because they’re human. But if you’re really openly the friend who loves identifying ants your friends will think of you when they see ants. And they’ll text you “what ant is this [blurry photo]”. And then they’ll ask you how you’ve been and we should get coffee sometime. But if they don’t know what you love they’ll never know what you like
And then when the ant convention is in town they’ll be like dude… we should go to the ant convention. But they would never think to go if they didn’t know u loved ants
And sometimes you need to ask them to go to the ant convention. But you Will not get anywhere hiding your passions

when the character is obsessive and desperate and guilty and scared and ashamed and traumatized and repressed
I know we talk a lot about the literacy crisis and the horrible anti-intellectualism happening rn but I think we need to talk more about how much of an entitlement complex the stupidest among us have developed
Human to human, this is such a strange perspective to have. You're literally 5 seconds away from googling anything you want. And you will only get better for it.
I remember when I was around 13 and read the physical copy of LoTR in English (not my first language), and I had to have a dictionary on me at all times. Yes, constant breaks to find the word meaning were tedious. Yet still, I got through it, because I wanted to read it. And I learned so many new words in the process.
You, a fic reader on AO3, have it so easy: highlight the word -> right-click -> choose the find word in Google option. AND THIS IS LITERALLY IT.
UGhhh. Another confirmation that, once again, people who don't write and only read, TRULY DON'T GET WRITERS' PERSPECTIVE and don’t even try to. And that's sad tbh…
We discussed this post—and the storm it caused—in my poetry seminar, and I have been thinking about it ever since.
Language is not decoration laid over thought. It is the matter from which thoughts are made. It gives thought shape, precision, and a life beyond the person thinking it.
When I choose to say that a candle guttered rather than flickered, I am not replacing an easy word with a difficult one for the pleasure of making someone open a dictionary. A flickering flame wavers. A guttering flame struggles, threatening to go out. Change the word and you change what is happening in the room.
That does not mean difficulty is automatically a virtue. A writer can be imprecise in six syllables as easily as in one. Obscurity is not profundity. The question should not be, “Will every reader already know this word?” It should be, “Is this the right word?”
Readers are free not to enjoy difficult prose, just as writers are free to choose the register in which they write. But asking every text to be frictionless is not the same thing as asking it to be accessible. It is asking language never to demand anything of us, and in turn never teach us or reveal anything to us.
If books may contain only words we already know, reading cannot enlarge our vocabulary. If our vocabulary never enlarges, neither does our ability to understand and communicate ideas. Looking up an unfamiliar word is not evidence that the writer has failed. Sometimes it is evidence that reading is doing part of its work.
This matters because language is how private thought becomes public argument. An idea cannot become law, doctrine, discovery, or common cause until it has been given a form that other minds can receive.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…”
That was not a description of the world in 1776. It was, in point of fact … a fiction. It was not a principle its author lived by. Yet the sentence made a claim large enough for later generations to seize and turn against the exclusions of the men who wrote it.
Alexis De Toqueville noted in Democracy in America that nearly everyone could read, that reading materials were almost universally available, and even farmers and tradesman spoke with an intellectual clarity common only among the most educated classes in Europe.
No, encountering scrying in a fanfiction is not the Declaration of Independence. But deep literacy does not descend from the heavens. We cultivate it in smaller encounters: reading a poem twice, following an unfamiliar allusion, looking up a word because the world on the page matters enough to us.
A functioning society depends upon people who can understand difficult language, distinguish one meaning from another, and recognize when words are being used to enlighten, persuade, conceal, or deceive. That capacity is not innate. We acquire it by reading beyond the boundaries of what we already know.
Use the easy word when it is the exact word. Use the difficult word when it is the exact word. But do not ask writers to make the world smaller simply because learning its name takes five seconds.
Words matter. Also, there is no word that means scrying that is not “scrying”. Le sigh…
i hate when a book describes a pause as pregnant. get your dick out of the pause
terry pratchett is the only person who actually knew how to use a pregnant pause
When I say "godspeed" (I say it a lot) I like to imagine I'm a member of a futurism religion that worships velocity above all else. Like its the standard well-wishing in my culture. Speedliness is next to godliness. Someday we'll catch him! And the closer we get the more he loves us
