things in fic I'm used to people kind of faking their way through writing about:
the city of los angeles
the city of new york
sex
how drinking alcohol works
how getting high works
how a child of any age speaks
how nuclear physics work
how [my job] works
how debilitating being shot in the shoulder is
how hypothermia works
things I have never before seen someone fake their way through writing about, until today:
what french toast is
read through the notes on this one trust me
Here's some of the notes, starting with the things multiple people brought up:
SHRIMP COCKTAIL:
banahbanah: #flashback to that one fic where Peter Parker frets about drinking shrimp cocktail because of the alcohol
generaldeliciousness: adding: what a prawn/shrimp cocktail is
#why is your character turning it down because they're under 21 #do you think prawn cocktail is a cocktail #this lives in my brain rent-free constantly #the rest of the fic was so normal #and good enough that i'll still re-read it #but bro
And then many, MANY, people wondering if this was actually authour mistake, since Peter really would do this!
POMEGRANATES:
zhajhassa: #haha where's that post that was like someone describing someone eating a pomegranate but they ate it like an apple
thornhands: #once someone wrote persephone biting into a whole Pomegranate #had to stop and stare at a wall for a minute
sungsingsanguine: I once saw someone very confidently write about a character eating slices of pomegranate.
FRUIT TREES:
zagreuses-toast: #given a very endearing glimpse into a writers blindspots by seeing them describe someone sitting under a ''pineapple tree''
salatrash: I remember something about picking watermelons... OF A FUCKING TREE
baander: #cranberry trees
DOUGH/BATTER:
maycelium: #I'm a chef so I'm really used to people not accurately describing how to cook food #But I was surprisingly flabbergasted when someone was writing making a cake and was kneading it. Which uh #Not necessary for cake. It was interesting for sure but just bizarre
livebloggingmydescentintomadness: #the one that drove me nuts was when a character set aside a batch of PASTA DOUGH 'to rise' #pasta doesn't have yeast!! #it does need to REST but it will never RISE #you do not want an airy crumb on your noodles
lovesodeepandwideandwell: #THE ONE WHERE THEY MADE COOKIES BY LADLING BATTER INTO A TRAY
Some other topics:
would you still be alive without modern medicine? looking back at your life, would you survive without any to the moment where you are now?
yes
no
barely
yes but it would affect me for the rest of my life
results
I'd have my knee fucked up forever alive but yeahhhhh
Could you personally navigate a cross-country road trip, door to door, without your electronics (phone/computer/tablet/etc)?
Yes
No
I'm SO excited for Couriway 10k!!! I've been here since he started the challenge, and it still feels kind of unreal. Unfortunately it is at 4:30 AM for me, but I will be ruining my sleep schedule for it regardless.

they put my blood through every test under the sun and yet nowhere in the pages and pages of lab reports do they tell me what my blood type is
your neutrophils absolute? 2.71. anion gap? why, that's 11! hemoglobin A1C? a solid 5.4. and don't fret, champ—your VLDL (calculated) is a cool 12. real fascinating stuff. hm? what's that? you want to know what kind of blood you have? like, so you won't have to look your next ER nurse in the eye and tell her you have no clue what type you have right after giving her a date of birth that confirms you are over 30 years old? psh, don't be silly! we can't tell you that! it's a ✨secret✨
do you know your blood type??
yes, I'm certain of it
I think my family told me what it was but I'm not sure/no recent test to confirm
no, I have no clue
I don't have blood/results
reblog to give prev a notification
hello! me again.
gen ai usage is bad. i do not like gen ai in any form, and will absolutely pull my support from people or companies who use it.
AND
if you look at people (like regular, ordinary people) and see their using generative ai as an excuse to harass, threaten, or hurt them, i do not want anything to do with you either. people fuck up and make mistakes and sometimes they double down on those mistakes and are really stupid. that does not give you the right to harass them or tell them to kill themselves.
call them out when they’re being stupid, yeah. pull your support, protest, boycott. do not threaten people or ddos them or tell them to kill themselves.
Overlock Stitch by @clothes_reetzy
Damn, that's useful
what level of skin care do you perform regularly*?
none
just sunscreen
just lotion/chapstick
sunscreen + lotion/chapstick
sunscreen + lotion + exfolliant
sunscreen + lotion + exfoliant + serum/toner/primer
several different kinds of the above/more than the option above
*by this I mean genuinely a part of your routine, not just once in a blue moon -- things you're doing at least half the time.

im bored
Havelock looked down at the grave. Someone had already put down a hard-boiled egg in front of the stone.
Rosie Palm, no doubt.
Keep reading
Things I'd like to see more of in fiction:
Duos/couples/groups where the quietest one is the one who leads or typically has the final say.
Stories where the focus is on a clearly platonic relationship. Familial is acceptable, enemies to friends with zero romantic overtones is ideal
The people insisting the romance is doomed/impossible/will cause a war/etc are RIGHT rather than simply being bigots (this doesn't mean it can't all work out in the end. but serious real-world problems/major relationship stress caused by things other than external prejudice must occur, and it has to be bad enough the couple--and ideallythe reader--wonder if the relationship is a mistake)
The parent/mentor/teacher goes on a quest to save the child/student
The initial love interest turns out to be a bit of a jerk, actually, but this isn't immediately obvious
God created Banyan trees for children to climb on. I hope this helps.
@dictatorkelly co-signed.
This is the tree by the way—literally made for climbing:
Advertising rant of the day: wrinkles cannot be described as "moderate to severe."
Symptoms of illness are "moderate to severe." Injuries can be "moderate to severe." Wrinkles are not medical issues. Wrinkles are not unhealthy. Wrinkles are the body behaving AS INTENDED.
Calling your wrinkles "moderate to severe" and saying you were "treated for" them is like saying you were treated for your moderate to severe leg hair, or moderate to severe calluses or moderate to severe dimples. All things that the people who have them sometimes find undesirable. All things that are completely natural and normal parts of many healthy bodies and do not impair the functioning of said bodies in any way.

"Readers have SHORT attention spans! The average reader takes just TWO sentences to decide whether to put a book down! You have to HOOK them in the FIRST sentence! GRAB them by throat and don't let them BREATHE—"
... have... have we considered that perhaps the average reader just, like, knows what they like in a book? I mean... first sentences are famous for establishing things like *checks notes*... genre, tone, POV, pacing, character, voice, uhhh... writing style...
The average reader is putting your book down because they discovered it's in first person (or not in first person). The average reader put your book down because they wanted a cozy read, or they're sick of cozy reads, or romance, or grimdark, or assassin princesses, or vampires, or or or. The average reader put your book down because they just didn't like your writing style—no, not because it was boring... they just, get this, didn't like it.
The average critical reader put your book down because it had six grammatical mistakes in the first two sentences.
The average reader will read quite a ways if the premise intrigues them, they like the genre, the writing style doesn't get on their nerves, and the characters pop off the page. In fact, they'll probably read the whole book, so long as it delivers on its plot promises and doesn't drag in the middle section.
The average reader will, however, stop reading after just two sentences if it's clear by the second sentence that the only thing they'll like about this book is the opening line.
Idk, I just think like, painting a demographic of people who, you know, pick up full length books to read for fun, as having short attention spans doesn't make too much sense. At least not as much sense as the alternative: words tell people things; namely, the contents of this book.
In general, though, I think we jump to blame short attention spans too often when there is a far more logical explanation. "It takes 0.06 seconds for viewers to scroll past a post." Yes, that is typically how long it takes me to discern whether this post is about something I'm interested in. There's a trillion posts out there, probably a billion books, of course we've gotten fast at sorting through content. That's not an attention span issue. That's just efficiency.
you have this superpower! BUT you have this side-effect
is it worth it?
yes!!
the side effect is bad but ITS WORTH IT
meh it's okay
the side effect makes it unusable/not worth it
Results/option I didn't think of
