'the human body is perfect god doesnt make mistakes' what about wisdom teeth then. huh. gonna let those bastards grow in and fuck up your jaw for god. didnt think so

also the exploding appendix

there's an entire book about all the ways the human body is fucked up, but the highlights I remember are: -The blood vessels for our rods and cones in our eyes don't run behind them but rather in front of them. It's like putting the power cables *over* a camera's lens -the nasal sinus cavities fucked up during evolution. when our skulls shortened, we went from having a straight shot from one end to the other to having basically a basin which can collect mucus, which then has the actual exit for the chamber at the top of it. this normally isn't a problem bc cillia can work viscous mucus up it, but when we get sick and produce super watery mucus, it no longer works, which is why our noses get stuffed up. the book is called Human Errors: A Panorama of Our Glitches, from Pointless Bones to Broken Genes. I recommend it.

Most mammals can’t get scurvy. They make their own Vitamin C. But in primates, the gene to make it is broken. Normally, when an important gene breaks, the organism dies and has no surviving descendants, but when it broke a few million years ago, our ancestors were living in a lush climate with lots of fruit and survived the failure just fine.

Then humans invented fire and clothing, and moved to colder climates where fresh food was only available part of the year, and scurvy was born.

And our reproduction, oh heavens. There are SO MANY WAYS that human reproduction is fucked up that simply DO NOT APPLY to other animals, even the our nearest relatives, the great apes. When a gorilla is giving birth, she finds a nice hiding place in the trees, squats down for like half an hour, and pushes out a baby. Humans, not so much. In fact, the outcomes of unassisted childbirth in humans are so poor that most anthropologists agree that we must have invented midwifery in some form before we became fully human.

This reminds me of the time I accidentally bought the dubbed German language version of Inland Empire off Amazon and for the first half hour or so thought it was just David Lynch being weird as usual.

I wish it would be real, sadly it is not.

A teacher once told me about when she attended an art gallery screening.

They were shown nothing but a giant blue screen.

Their reactions: “It is so, so deep blue. Like the ocean. Like the sky. Like Kurt Cobain’s eyes. It makes me think about my soul.”

Teacher: “That’s just my Microsoft computer randomly shutting down and doing the death screen. This is not what you were meant to see.”

subtle ways to include foreshadowing

  • one character knowing something offhandedly that they shouldn't, isn't addressed until later
  • the crow rhyme
  • colours!! esp if like, blue is evil in your world and the mc's best friend is always noted to wear blue...betrayal?
  • write with the ending in mind
  • use patterns from tragic past events to warn of the future
  • keep the characters distracted! run it in the background until the grand reveal
  • WEATHER.
  • do some research into Chekhov's gun
  • mention something that the mc dismisses over and over
  • KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU PUT. don't leave things hanging.
  • unreliable characters giving information that turn out to be true
  • flowers and names with meanings
  • anything with meanings actually
  • metaphors. if one character describes another as "a real demon" and the other turns out to be the bad guy, you're kind of like...ohhh yeahhh
  • anyways add anything else in the tags

I'd also add:

  • something that your character thinks can't apply to them
  • information mentioned when they're talking about something else
  • doing something for thing x that then becomes relevant in situation y
  • a character avoiding avoid a topic
  • having characters who look alike but not drawing attention to it (e.g., two characters introduced five chapters apart who have red hair in a world where red hair is unusual)

Unused enemy found in the code of Super Paper Mario that appears as a circle of four rapidly rotating Marios. The Marios are in fact copies of the playable Mario - they mimic all of his animations, and attempting to Tattle them gives the same information as Tattling the playable Mario. Jumping onto the Marios hurts Mario - although whether this is due to the circle’s status as an enemy or due to Mario’s jumping hurting the rotating Marios, hurting him in turn since they are copies of him, is unclear.
