I had to mentally send myself a reaction image the other day. I ran up the stairs on all fours, said to myself “i’m such a locationpilled scampercel” and then perfectly envisioned this image

please i've already hurt so much

Oh I see so it's not that the person who made it was cultivating the strangest vibe possible for the grimace birthday playlist it's that they put every song ever on it

The word "faggot" appears in the lyrics on this playlist multiple times. Dead Kennedy's are on here.

I cannot. Stress. Enough. It is on the grimace birthday playlist.

IT IS ON. THE GRIMACE. BIRTHDAY PLAYLIST.

Ok so I thought this was just a shit post when I looked it up on Spotify and my reaction was basically

Ok this looks normal enough

what the fuck

WHAT THE FUCK

RIDE THE CYCLONE???

Imagine that every time you asked "What time is it?", people interpreted that as you refusing to believe that time exists, and they gave you a long, angry spiel about the importance of understanding time, and they still never told you what time it is, and you were considered the one with poor communication skills.

That's what it's like to be autistic.

Remember that when an autistic person asks why a rule exists.

A big part of cultivating creative discipline is accepting that you can't just sit around waiting for inspiration to strike and learning how to write without it, but the other half is learning never to let inspiration go to waste when it does strike.

If you've got an idea for something that you'll never be able to show to anyone else – maybe it's too personal, maybe it's too pornographic, maybe it just doesn't fit your idiom – you should absolutely go ahead and write it anyway.

This isn't a "write for yourself" thing (and there's no shame in being uninterested in writing for yourself – art is about communication!): it's a "building your portfolio" thing. Self-plagiarism is one of the most fundamental skills of any artist, and you never know what random scribble is going to turn up exactly what's needed for some seemingly unrelated project later on.

Like, it's not likely that that grotesquely self-indulgent character piece where your fandom crush inexplicably has three dicks will randomly prove to contain the missing ingredient for that novel you've been procrastinating on writing, but it can never entirely be ruled out!
