Hey! I hope your week’s going well. I know that I’m supposed to @ you when my pirate fantasy novel is out, so that led me to thinking about a community I’m going to start on Friday. It plays out the scenario, “What if bookstores were run by the authors?” Published and aspiring fiction authors can engage with readers, who, in turn, can ask about non-spoiler information and interact with their new favorite writers. The target demographic of the books is roughly 13-25, but older readers can come too. (Basically, the books are just a minimum of PG-13) I want this to be a very unique and fun experience for everybody and am super excited to get it started! Do you think you’d like an invite when it’s ready?

Yes that’d be lovely

There’s no better comedy than posting this on TikTok:

pictures of Christian bale in the dark knight. He looks happy. caption reads: "we're an inclusive support group tell us your story."
picture of Christian bale in the dark knight, he looks disgusted now instead of happy. caption reads: When you tell them you don't romanticize your mental illness and trauma.

Then getting a rude paragraph by a random that basically boils down to: you do that because you think therapy is beneath you.

Uh no. I just admit that my mental illness isn’t a superpower. It’s a terrible thing and I wish it never was there.

The random deleted the paragraph a minute later. I’m guessing they realized how stupid they sounded.

Anyway song of the day:

There’s only one you. There will never be another you. Please make the best of life and don’t forget to enjoy each day. Even when it feels like everything is collapsing. Keep moving forward. Your time in the sun is coming soon.

Yeah don’t ask AI ask me.

GET. AI. OUT. OF. FANDOM. Stop making headcanons with it, stop making fanfic with it, stop making fanart with it. If I see one more "asking chatgpt *blank* about *character/characters in a fandom* I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. Use your own fucking brain, stop asking AI to do everything. You could even ask other real people what they think. Just. Stop. Using. AI. In. Creative. Spaces.

M*A*S*H is really one of those shows that hit different on each stage of your life. I laughed at the jokes as a kid. When I got older, I realized why people like BJ and Hawkeye were constantly joking.

That one phineas and ferb episode

You have a brick. It looks like a brick. It feels like a brick. Yet, over the past few days, people have been desperately trying to buy or steal the brick from you. You're starting to feel scared.

Random Rant

Good night, the writing advice on this website feels samesy as fuck.

It reminds me of when everyone in 2013 had an art OC and you legitimately couldn’t tell the difference.

“This is how you’re writing wrong, write like this instead.”

Congrats Brenda but you write just like Hannah. Who also write just like Lukas who writes just like Hayden.

Please for the love of EVERYTHING. Develop your own writing style.

Don’t copy and paste the writing patterns of others on this website to your own writing style. Because I legitimately can’t tell the difference anymore.

And it’s just really sad to see.

(I also don’t know how tumblr’s algorithm decided I wanted to see writing advice. I don’t. I take all my writing advice from my friend Ralph the alien cricket.)

Best: whatever resonates with your audience.

Because some people will read the second sentence and complain it’s too abstract.

Bad: "Her eyes were as blue as the ocean."

Better: "Her eyes were the kind of blue that makes you forget storms exist."

I’m writing my first fully sad ending soon. No character revivals, no second chances, nothing. It’s the end of the series too. We’ll see how it lands

you can pry happy endings from my cold-dead hands. It can be the most heart stopping, gut wrenching fic that has every existed and I will read every drop of it if I get my happy ending. I have had enough painful endings in real life, give me happy in my fantasy world. It can be at the last second, it can be a single sentence, even a single word. Give me all the angst and hurt in the world for 500,000 words, but please give me the comfort I need in the ending. please and thank you.

This is a hot take on threads. I almost got run off the site for it. Lol

If you clicked on and read a fanfiction that had tags or a description that upset you and you were upset by it, that's your responsibility, not the author's responsibility.

If you were reading a fanfiction and you got to an unexpected part that disturbed you and you kept reading after you were disturbed, that was your choice and your responsibility, not the author's.

No one is forcing you to read fanfiction that upsets you. The back button is your friend.

If you are reading a piece of fanfiction it's because it interests you. Horrified fascination counts as interest. No fanfiction is holding you hostage and forcing you to read it.

Tumblr is the only place where this happens:

You can be 100% clear and still have some troll account comment huh?!

Then when you match their energy, they’ll come to your dms to cry about it.

Pathetic.

Back in my day, the trolls took their L gracefully and didn’t have a meltdown in your DMs.

It’s like Tumblr missed out on some areas of internet lore but once it hits it’ll hit weird.

I know this is an old point and maybe a small thing to complain about but oh my GOD it pisses me off the way 3 and subsequent borderlands installments just completely retconned how RARE vaults are to be like "actually there are loads of vaults and people have been opening them for ages, there's actually a whole industry about it" ffffuuuccckkkk offffff like half the people in 1 don't even believe vaults are real but now you wanna tell me Typhon Deleon was opening them on planets other than Pandora before any of these people were even born?

Saw a post on IG reels recently that said “what to do when narcissistic people attack!” And the comments were just a fucking mess. Apparently anyone who has slightly criticized you is a narcissistic person. 🤔 Also anyone who has narcissism that is trying to critique your art is just trying to manipulate you. 🤔 like huh?!

>"cluster b demonization isn't real! you're just making that up because you're attention seeking and wanna be a victim!!!"

>open internet browser

CW: Death

Well I had a weird dream that the MASH Finale was even sadder. Sophie was starting to go and Colonel Potter couldn’t bring himself to believe it. So he did walks around the camp with her and Radar went with them. Father Mulcahy receives word from B.J. that his wife Peggy passed away. So Mulcahy holds separate secret funeral for both Potter’s horse and public funeral for B.J.’s wife all while still keeping his personal secret.

Then right after the funeral who comes “home” to the 4077 but Hawkeye himself? He notices the mood is very different in camp and begins to slowly cheer some people up. Yet respectfully to the pain. But it doesn’t work for B.J. The last part I saw is B.J. staring sadly at Hawkeye from a distance; just as they depart for home.

Brain does that weird thing where you can read character’s thoughts in the dream. B.J. thinks as the finale proceeds “I wish it was all different. I wish you could have met Peg and been my daughter’s uncle. Now we’re all going back home to the real world and my best friend won’t be there.”

(Klinger still gets married from what I saw but stays in Korea. Charles tries to help B.J. with Margaret but fails. There’s a minor funny moment where there’s cake after Peggy’s funeral but it’s entirely too sweet. It’s implied so people are just finding ways to respectfully discard of it after taking a few bites.)

This Comments Section On Twitter Is Insane. Honestly Though It Deserves To Be Called X. Because It’s

This comments section on Twitter is insane. Honestly though it deserves to be called X. Because it’s no longer Twitter.

It’s a place where you have to pay $10 a month to get your comment heard. Moderators that do nothing against reports because they themselves don’t find it offensive that something evil is happening to a person Either that or Ai not recognizing the issue.

AI being trained off every post.

No one I follow is seen. They didn’t pay for the checkmark therefore their post is “meaningless”.

Worst of all is that actual nazis are gaining a foothold on the site. Posting about wanting to do evil things to people and their posts stay up. It’s a fucking mess.

This post on Twitter really sent the Nazis reeling in the comments section. All sorts of cope and seethe happening in the comments section.

"When the Nazis first came for the socialists, I did not speak out, because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak out... So when they come to knock at my door, will there be anyone left to speak out for me?"
