"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit
To wit:
I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.
In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:
“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.
“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”
Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.
Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕
This is the funniest thing I've ever read. I would have LOVED to see that
there is a demon in your house named CARBON MONOXIDE. he enchants your mind with confusion and your body with exhaustion. you need to call a powerful exorcist named HVAC TECHNICIAN
In 4th grade, my bff was in a death feud over chess with a boy in our class but instead of competing like normal people they decided that the best way to determine who was chess master was for each of them to select one of the two biggest idiots in class and teach them to play chess, My Fair Lady style, and see whose idiot won. We are just now, 22 years later, grappling with the moral implications of this exercise.
ur art doesn’t need to be perfect!!! it does need to be horny & grotesque tho
Everyone's so upset about what's going on on my normal and functional space ship.
Excellent you can join ranks with that one doctor who this story made late for surgery
Read about my normal and functional spaceship to absolutely destroy your sleep schedule
This happened to me with their (now finished) serial novel Curse Words, and then their (currently unfinished) story Charlie MacNamara, Galactic Ace when I caught up to Curse Words while it was still in progress.
Simply put, it’s just a thing that happens when it comes to reading Derin’s stories.
I've been reliably informed by many, many readers that these stories are specifically crack for ADHD people who usually have difficulty reading and I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. That's such a random demographic.
Look it happens
Do you have to do surgery tomorrow? No? Then how bad could it be to start reading.
#me watching horror movies: noooo why would you open the door covered in warnings not to do that!#me reading thos blog post: I should start reading time to orbit
You should do it, nothing will go wrong. You are the master of your sleep schedule and will get plenty of rest. It'll be fine.
#I am one sentence in and my suspected adhd brain started to fucking. VIBRATE#what the FUCK#I am so happy and am going to get a normal amount of sleep tonight
Ahaha yes another one

Congratulations, you did invent time travel after all! Unfortunately, instead of the Soviet moon conspiracy thing, all it’s good for is warping your readers several hours into the future.
... I'll take it.
#what the fuck#started reading and this took the better part of yesterday's workday and many hours of night and almost all of today's workday#jesus fucking christ DO NOT START THIS IF U HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO DO IN THE NEXT 48 HOURS
Counterpoint: reading this story is the important thing you have to do in the next 48 hours.
It's ok, that other thing can wait.
Just a couple of chapters to see what it's like, then you can stop and do the other thing.
It'll be fine.
i feel like something is to be said about how this reads somewhat like a Rick Riordan novel
So you're saying I should read Rick Riordan
you're saying this as if you haven't already read Rick Riordan. that is concerning
What age demographic do you think I'm in? My children's fiction was Animorphs.(Although I guess Everworld is a better comparison if my pop culture osmosis understanding of Riordan's books is correct).
