40,000 years ago, early humans painted hands on the wall of a cave. This morning, my baby cousin began finger painting. All of recorded history happened between these two paintings of human hands. The Nazca Lines and the Mona Lisa. The first TransAtlantic flight and the first voyage to the Moon. Humanity invented the wheel, the telescope, and the nuclear bomb. We eradicated wild poliovirus types 2 and 3. We discovered radio waves, dinosaurs, and the laws of thermodynamics. Freedom Riders crossed the South. Hippies burned their draft cards. Countless genocides, scientific advancements, migrations, and rebellions. More than a hundred billion humans lived and died between these two paintings—one on a sheet of paper, and one on the inside of a cave. At the dawn of time, ancient humans stretched out their hands. And this morning, a child reached back.

I cannot stress this enough, write it poorly. Write the shittiest draft you possibly can, stick 'ah fuck something happens here and now they're fighting' to get over

Write the worst fucking version you possibly can and stick it in a folder and forget it for a month or two before you look at it again. You know what you have now?

A first draft. And with enough time to think some new thoughts about it, you'll soon end up with a better, second draft! And eventually, you'll end up with something you'd be perfectly okay with letting other people read!

You'll never believe this process works no matter how many times you do it, but it totally does. You just have to drag your brain kicking and screaming to that blank page and get the bones down first.

Write the shit out of that shit.

this post was aimed at the discourse-addled and terminally online, but i'm glad it's reaching an audience of people who are just excited about stargazing in general

there's something so compelling to me about the fact that sometimes leaving a blade or bullet inside the wound it made is the only way to prevent you from bleeding to death. something about the ironic symbolism of it. when the thing designed and intended to kill you is the only thing keeping you alive.

Waddle Dee headcannons / theories but they progressively get worse

Waddle Dees migrate south every winter

Waddle Dees like eating bugs and Bandana Waddle Dee’s favorite bug to eat is the caterpillar

If Kirby is made out of positive energy

And Dark Matter is made out of negative energy

Then Waddle Dees are made of neutral energy

Image

That means if you give Void neutral energy, it will turn into a Waddle Dee

But what if neutral energy is stronger than both positive and negative energy?

That means if you give Void all three energy, it will turn into a Waddle Dee because neutral energy overpowers both of them!

Image

That’s why Dark Matter always goes to King Dedede’s castle!!!

Because if King Dedede was able to harness the powers of neutral energy, Dark Matter wouldn’t stand a chance

That also means Bandana Dee is secretly the most overpowered in the group.

We should be thankful that the Waddle Dees haven’t collectively agreed to change us all into Waddle Dees

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk
