fuck a break up, have you ever gotten emotionally attached to a scene and then realized it doesn’t work so you have to remove it from your story
do you ever think about how cool books are? like, they’re technically lines of ink arranged on a page but goddamn if lines of ink don’t make me feel more emotions than the rest of my life combined
*sweeps all of my AU ideas under the rug* why must I be called out this way?
This post ran me over with a truck and laughed
Could you lower your fucking voice like goddamn

Have you written that story about the tiny dragon yet? If you publish I will buy a copy.
It’s taken a back seat to some other projects, but I’m still working on it.

Hi! I came across your old post about Altheria the dragon and Elizabeth the runaway princess and was wondering if I could use it as a comic inspiration? I've been trying to find something that inspired me to draw and I fell in love with the story idea
Sure, just tag me and give credit, and that’ll be fine. :)
if i were a writer, i would simply write a lot of words
If i were a writer, i would simply think a lot of words into existence
creative writing’s just like yeah sure i can deal with my issues i just need to cover them in several layers of metaphors first
you people will just. say anything
#Tbf tho the bechdel test is pretty shitty #Like dgmw this is a stupid take but it’s a lame test anyway
okay but do you understand that liz wallace made the bechdel-WALLACE test because she was a dyke who wanted to go to movies and pretend the characters were dykes and her friend alison bechdel happened to put her silly little litmus assessment into a comic strip and then the rest of everyone else decided it was a bona fide way of means testing media for Feminist Content? do you know that? it doesn’t sound like you know that

Nobody is saying women in movies can’t talk about men in a romantic context. What is being said is that women in movies often talk about nothing other than men in a romantic context.
Do you want to know how low the bar is? Do you want to know?
Iron Man 3 passes the Bechdel test. Pepper and Maya have a brief talk about Maya’s work.
THAT’S IT. THAT’S HOW LOW THE BAR IS. Two named female characters have a conversation about something that isn’t a heterosexual romance. Fucking IRON MAN managed to pass.
Now, here’s the issue. Do you know why this (informal, often misapplied) test is a thing?
Over three-quarters of movies cannot pass it.
At least 75% of the time, a woman’s driving force in a movie is entirely and only romance. Either that, or she is isolated from other female characters to the point that she may have very interesting motivations….but no other women to talk to about them.
That’s a problem.
Okay.. so suppose you’re a fanfiction writer….
And I’m a fan of your stories…
would it be alright to bribe you with a fanart that i made,
so I can read the next chapter?
:) just asking…. but srsly tho… can you bribe a fanfiction writer with fanart of their stories?
Yessssss bribe ussssssss
Someone once gave me fan art of a story I finished years ago and I immediately wrote more, almost exclusively for them.
So yes.
Currently weighing how proud I am of my little dog for taking down a opossum as big as he is against how sad I am that he just orphaned a bunch of baby opossums against my second hand embarrassment for this mama opossum who thought it was a good idea to build a nest under a literal fucking dog house.
…and doing all of this on hold with a local wildlife rescue.
