Interesting Theory. Do You Have An Example?

speculative fiction writers i am going to give you a really urgent piece of advice: don't say numbers. don't give your readers any numbers. how heavy is the sword? lots. how old is that city? plenty. how big is the fort? massive. how fast is the spaceship? not very, it's secondhand.

the minute you say a number your readers can check your math and you cannot do math better than your most autistic critic. i guarantee. don't let your readers do any math. when did something happen? awhile ago. how many bullets can that gun fire? trick question, it shoots lasers, and it shoots em HARD.

you are lying to people for fun. if you let them do math at you the lie collapses and it's no fun anymore.

Concept: foggy café. It's just a regular café, except they've got a fog machine going at all times whenever they're open.

Operation Jet Set, the explosive cigar (twice)

I thought it would be badass to light my cigar off one of the lasers, died, and somehow thought it was the lasers, despite the autopsy saying “BOOBY TRAPPED CIGAR”. It took blowing up again to realize it was the cigar, and even then I thought “oh no someone’s trying to kill John Juniper”

just remembered this old clickhole video i used to be obsessed with

I’m honestly shocked being human is a prerequisite here. Why can’t tumblr be horny for a rabbit, or even just horny for a rabbit’s personality?

I’m disappointed in us tumblr. Let bugs bunny be the tumblr sexy man he was always destined to be

Okay but consider:

A male character who is cocky and nonchalant, a flippant chaotic neutral bastard, who never really starts beef with anyone but if someone else starts it first, he will not hesitate to go all out balls deep into making sure he'll finish it. Tricksy, clever and charismatic, treating every conflict as a fun rivalry even if the enemy he's faced with is literally just flat-out trying to fucking kill him. While personally never killing an opponent - he's clever enough to evade them in a way that leaves himself unharmed, and the antagonist frustrated and humiliated and looking stupid the whole time they're doing it.

Depicted as somewhat slim and lanky, distinctly male but not in a brutish, hypermasculine way. Not exactly coded genderfluid but jumps at every opportunity to cross dress just for the fun of it, in a campy and flamboyant way, which by all rational sense shouldn't be attractive but somehow the man manages to make himself fuckable with the way he walks in heels. Not romantically or sexually attracted to men, but can, will, and has seduced men just to fuck with their heads. Has broken hearts this way.

So what I'm saying here is that if he was depicted as human, Tumblr would 100% be horny for Bugs Bunny.

I think we should have more of these discussions. This is very useful information.

Astronomy I-

He’s not okay

Why does the duolingo app look like that right now

subscribing to a fic isn’t enough I need the author to blast a bat signal into the night sky whenever they update
