It's funny that fanfiction is considered a lesser form of literature because "anyone of any skill can write and post it" as if the same doesn't apply to regular books. Any rich asshole with too much free time and an underpaid ghost writer can slap anything they want on the market, and this was the case well before fanfic and webnovels were getting published. You're going to have to wade through a lot of garbage and mids to find a gem no matter what media you're trying to consume. Just because someone's charging money for it doesn't mean it's actually good.
so i was thinking about
post cancelled i got this notification as i was typing this and i think it’s trying to tell me something
hate mfs that believe theres only one version of greek mythology tales. they were all passed down by mouth for years before they were written down and u believe theres only one “real” version of them??
One advantage of not really having a strong sense of gender identity is that you’re very [shrug emoji] about how people gender you. Sometimes people call me by she/her pronouns and sometimes they go with he/him pronouns and on the internet people often default to they/them, and neither option is entirely right but also, fuck if I know what would be right, and I don’t particularly care. Therefore I’m perfectly happy to outsource my gender identity to the people around me who actually need to figure out which box to put me in. I don’t need to talk about myself in third person, so really my pronouns sound like a you problem.
This is truly the worst timeline

There are three actresses in my show who switch off playing the same character and they all have their own costume. One of the girls cannot grasp the concept of grabbing HER costume and not one of the others. Today I was standing right next to her and having a conversation with her when she realized that she had grabbed the wrong slippers (yet again). And instead of switching shoes, like a normal human would do, she proceeded to put HER OWN slippers into the bag of the OTHER GIRL.
I literally had to put my hand up to stop her and say "I need you to wear your own shoes." Then this bitch had the audacity to act surprised when I showed her that the shoes were, in fact, labeled with her name
So if you’re a dm like me, you probably want to be relatively skilled in some typical fantasy accents for your game to make things feel that much more real. So i’ve decided to throw together a little master post of “how to” videos on some various accents. This is mostly for my own reference, but if you’d like to save this for yourself too, go right ahead. Feel free to add on to this, as well!

Alright this is rly sad but here goes. I started doing my once-in-awhile bot purge from my followers list. And. I used to be able to just quickly scan and see the bots. They were the ones with default icons and generator-sounding names like "noun-girl-827". And if you weren't sure, you could click on the blog and it would be immediately obvious it was a bot because there's either just bad porn click bait, or nothing there.
Well. This time I had to give up immediately because I got like ten followers down the list and was having immense trouble figuring out who's a bot and who's real. Never ever used to see this but like 5/10 of the first few followers I checked on had just totally empty blogs. It wasn't until I'd already blocked 2 - assuming bots bc empty blogs - that I thought to check if they had any likes. And bam! There it was. All of their user activity.
We have people on this website now who have never reblogged a single post.
Y'all, I'm sure you're sick of seeing "you have to reblog thing" but you literally have to reblog things. That is how this website works. You understand that, right? How do you think the post you hit "like" on got in front of you? It wasn't because you liked enough things and Tumblrs algorithm figured out what you like enough to hand it to you. It's because you followed someone, a human person, who reblogged that post. And it came from another person who also reblogged it.
You are killing this website by refusing to interact with it in the way that makes it better than the other websites you ran from to come here.
Anyway, I'm sure you're all nice people, but I'm not going to play the "bot or not" game if you have an empty blog I'm going to block you.
i love it when you read multiple works from a writer and you start being able to pick out the things that stick with them. like the themes they keep thinking about, that can’t be satisfied with just one poem or novel or story. or the motifs they like to reuse and recycle throughout their works like an extradiagetic thread. it’s like drawing a map through a writer’s collection of all the things that keep them up at night
Tim: [staring intensely at Billy Batson]
Billy:.....
Billy: What?
Tim [....]: We're gonna adopt you.
Billy: What?!
Dick:.....
Dick: I'm sorry, Billy. Tim can be a little much at times. Especially when he hasn't gotten enough sleep.
Billy: Oh, yeah. No worries.
Dick [smiling wide and friendly]: What he meant to say is that our dad is going to adopt you, and you will become our newest brother!
Billy: [taking several steps back]
Billy: I.....what!
Jason: Oh my God. Why are you lunatics like this! Just *sighs exasperated* they shouldn't have told you anything.
Billy: No, that's....fine. I'm just going to---
Jason: Now you'll be so much harder to kidnap.
Billy: SHAZAM!
