Literally cannot emphasize enough that my #1 writing advice is to stop being afraid. Stop being afraid of sounding too cringe, or too stupid, or too horrifying, or too horny, or too weird, or too much, or too little, or too you. You need to put your entire pussy into your art. Sure, it won't be to everyone's tastes, but if you keep yourself to the blandest tamest safest roads possible you will be of no one's tastes, not even yours.
THIS IS WHY I WRITE. To appeal to ME first.
Fully losing it at this facebook screenshot. 22 inches of green and 1.5 of carrot.
Too much horse manure, not enough potash, and watering light and frequently instead of deeply and less frequently. But good news! Carrot tops are perfectly edible by themselves! Try some in salad or in a sandwich, or as a parsley substitute. It's nice.
Well, the lovely green top indicates quite a happy carrot, so they still succeeded in raising a nice carrot! Not bad at all! Just want to think about how to get bigger roots next time!
i cannot stress this enough: if your reasoning for clowning on the mcu is "they overwork their cg artists and animators" i 1000% guarantee that a show or movie you have been stanning for years also abused their artists and you just haven't heard about it because the production companies aren't in the spotlight like mcu productions are. that cartoon for kids? that incredibly animated movie? that non-marvel superhero movie? i've seen people declare their hatred for the way the mcu treats their workers and then turn around and gush about a show that i know for a fact was hell for the artists attached
and no this is NOT me saying "this means you should stop hating on the mcu uwu" it's me saying you gotta be aware that this shit is an INDUSTRY WIDE PROBLEM. you CANNOT "fix" it by refusing to watch mcu movies and feeling good about it. you have to be aware that it's EVERYWHERE. why do you think so many animation and vfx productions are sourced in canada? in india and the phillipines? we are not unionized.
i know it's hard to face the idea that your favourite show might have been made unethically especially when you've spent so much time hating the mcu for doing the same thing. you don't have to start hating your favourite show. just like...be aware. don't be smarmy about it. don't claim without research that a beautifully animated movie Must mean the animators were not working 16 hour days and weekends. i do think we can fix this 👍 but we can't fix it if 90% of us don't even realize what the problem really is
now that it's come out that the spiderverse animators were working unsustainable hours yall need to be aware of this more than ever. even good movies aren't innocent of this. we often see the narrative of "see what happens if you pay animators well and give them time to work?" when it comes to good movies but. that is almost never the case. the artists are still being worked to the bone. the movie being good does not negate this.

Look at the institutions that have had widespread child sexual abuse and massive coverups. Look at the ideological profile of the people who want to ban books.
They’re trying to protect themselves, their religious leaders, and friends, not the kids.
"It's soooo easy to just go through your followers and block bigots 🙄" — quote from someone with 37 followers
This isn't an "ohhh look at this loser who only has x followers", it's "there is a point you reach where looking at every single person who follows you is genuinely impossible and acting like it's easy to do so shows that you haven't reached that point yet."
"gender envy or attraction?" both. i want to be him AND i want to fuck him.
knowing enough about ships to be able to tell when a movie tall ship set is Bad is so distracting like when they're all standing on a deck that's way too big & empty and there aren't nearly enough ropes or curves or anything. like unfortunately ships are characters to me so it's like the same uncanniness as if they put a cardboard cutout instead of a guy
This, and forever being annoyed by cheesy bad art that shows a ship with every inch of canvas set (because that's the only reference picture the artist has ever seen) either 2 feet away from a beach/a lee shore, or sailing during a violent storm like that.
Tragically, the whole crew died instantly before they could shorten sail.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
"Crooked, previously-broken nose" is such a hot trait to give your characters. Im begging you to fuck up your characters' noses
People on here and Twitter are turning the term “refugee” into some sort of joke - so I’m just going to kindly ask everyone to stop tossing the term refugee around like it’s not an extremely politically charged term
- sincerely, someone who’s family are literally refugees
