Tintype Of What Appears To Be A Light-hearted Spot Of Stabbing Between Friends, Circa 1880

how it felt watching the wolverine/deadpool honda odyssey “fight” scene

me: care about people

half the notes: youre the real oppressor for telling me what to do.

the other half: cut out this useless liberal proselatizing. you are an invertebrate and you will perish in the revolution.

I love how humans have literally not changed throughout history like the graffiti from Pompeii has people from hundreds of years ago writing stuff like “Marcus is gay” “I fucked a girl here” “Julius your mum wishes she was with me” and leonardo da vinci’s assistants drew dicks in their notebooks just for the banter and mozart created a piece called “kiss my ass” so when people wish for ‘today’s generation’ to be like ‘how people used to’ then we’re already there buddy we’ve always been

10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing

New Part: 10 Lethal Injury Ideas

If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain, here are some ideas: 

1. Sprained Ankle

A common injury that can severely limit mobility. This is useful because your characters will have to experience a mild struggle and adapt their plans to their new lack of mobiliy. Perfect to add tension to a chase scene.

2. Rib Contusion

A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult, helping you sneak in those ragged wheezes during a fight scene. Could also be used for something sport-related! It's impactful enough to leave a lingering pain but not enough to hinder their overall movement.

3. Concussions

This common brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment heavily. It can also cause mild amnesia.

I enjoy using concussions when you need another character to subtly take over the fight/scene, it's an easy way to switch POVs. You could also use it if you need a 'cute' recovery moment with A and B.

4. Fractured Finger

A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills. This would be perfect for characters like artists, writers, etc. Or, a fighter who brushes it off as nothing till they try to throw a punch and are hit with pain.

5. Road Rash

Road rash is an abrasion caused by friction. Aka scraping skin. The raw, painful sting resulting from a fall can be a quick but effective way to add pain to your writing. Tip: it's great if you need a mild injury for a child.

6. Shoulder Dislocation

This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation. Good for torture scenes.

7. Deep Laceration

A deep laceration is a cut that requires stitches. As someone who got stitches as a kid, they really aren't that bad! A 2-3 inch wound (in length) provides just enough pain and blood to add that dramatic flair to your writing while not severely deterring your character.

This is also a great wound to look back on since it often scars. Note: the deeper and wider the cut the worse your character's condition. Don't give them a 5 inch deep gash and call that mild.

8. Burns

Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma. Like the previous injury, the lasting physical and emotional trauma of a burn is a great wound for characters to look back on.

9. Pulled Muscle

This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, offering a window to force your character to lean on another. Note: I personally use muscle related injuries when I want to focus more on the pain and sprains to focus on a lack of mobility.

10. Tendonitis

Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted. When exploring tendonitis make sure you research well as this can easily turn into a more severe injury.

This is a quick, brief list of ideas to provide writers inspiration. Since it is a shorter blog, I have not covered the injuries in detail. This is inspiration, not a thorough guide. Happy writing! :)

Female inmates of San Quentin State Prison and their very fine hats. 9/?.

Hi, i’m a new tumblr user and i’m using the mobile app, and i just came across your “tumblr how to” post and it’s super helpful so thank you so much. I wanted to ask about something, sometimes when people color their words like this they do other stuff like add more than one color to the same word hut not like this, the colors blend together. So i wanted to know if there’s a way to do this on app bc i don’t have a laptop. English isn’t my first language so sorry if my explanation is vague. Thank you, hope you have a good day!!

Tumblr ‘How To’s

Thank you! I’m happy to know that I could help. And don’t worry, you explained it just fine.  (English isn’t my first language either btw)

I didn’t know how to do this so I searched about it. The unfortunate thing is that in order to do this, the ‘text editor’ of post needs to be changed from ‘Rich Text’ to ‘HTML’. And while this change can easily be done on a laptop, there’s no way to do it neither on the mobile Tumblr app nor on Chrome browser on mobile. And it sucks! 

Apparently this option to change the text editor used to be available on mobile, but the recent Tumblr updates have discarded that feature for some reason. So now while posting/editing posts through mobile (whether on app or browser),  the only text editor available is ‘Rich Text’, which can change colours of letters like you did in your ask but it CANNOT make them blend in together like in a gradient. 

Just putting this out there:

I found this amazing and super easy tutorial by @kylos​ . It’s made for laptop users but it’s easy to follow on mobile too. I tried it myself and it worked more than fine for most of the steps. But as I said, since we can’t access ‘HTML’ text editor on mobile, we can’t implement this to the last step. 

I tried finding more ways to do it, but since Rich Text doesn’t offer gradients and HTML just isn’t available on mobile, there’s really no way about it. I’m sorry I couldn’t help this time :(

In case I stumble upon a solution for this -which I think is highly unlikely but still, I’ll add the new link in my masterlist) 

The cruelty of racist white men.

Can't be sincerely dark without being called edgy, can't be sincerely emotional without being called melodramatic, can't be sincerely silly without being called stupid. They're gonna hate every emotion you put in your art no matter what so make it anyway and be as sincere as you can be

I’m glad Goncharov (1973) is finally getting some attention on Tumblr but I feel like no one’s even mentioned this incredible OST from Alessandro Procacci. The way that if you play “The Bridge” and “The Clocktower” at the same time, they seem to echo back at each other like they’re conversing?? I got chills
