Whatever shall I do?

hmmmm

the system putting xiang fei into the world as shang qinghua thinking he'd fix shit because he was the author god only to get frustrated and add shen yuan in because shang qinghua was an unmotivated slacker who didn't bother to do anything until mobei jun showed up is fucking hilarious

With the lack of SNAP benefits in the US hitting in a few days, welcome to No Snitch November. If you see somebody taking food? No you didn't. Taking formula? No you didn't. Taking diapers? No you didn't. When the government turns their back on our neighbors, it's our job to protect them.

One of my grandfathers was a dentist. The other was a fisherman.

I had a bonus grandfather who was a trucker.

What did your grandfathers do?

Ok, an unusually high number of people in the comments have relatives that probably have a Wikipedia article with their name.

I hope you don't mind if I share this, but this is a very good point!

remember when I made that post that basically said "don't forget about a southern hemisphere when worldbuilding" and a lot of people said "ahhh but what if my fantasy world is flat or shaped like a kia sorento? checkmate I Write What I Want" and then you go and find out that people actually forget that the southern hemisphere exists in real life, like right now here in earth

my worldbuilding posts have two key components:

  • here's a thing you should think about to make your world more believable and cohesive :) it could really enhance your plot and characters and it's also fun to think about it, when you know how the real world works you can make more vivid fantasy worlds!
  • and you also should think about it so you think about something else that isn't your own fucking hemisphere pedazo de gringo imperialista

So half of the fantasy planet needs to be experiencing summer when its winter in the north? Is that the endpoint of this post? An episode of the magic schoolbus?

I don't know what to tell you. Read the post again.

I think I should start bragging about my adopted son’s achievements when people around me start bragging about their kids. Ooooh your child can count to 10 in mandarin? Well, my child found 110 landmines! And he’s only 6 years old!

not to be mistaken for toxic positivity again but my god you need to learn to love the oppressed more than you hate their oppressors or else you are just delighting in feeling righteous while leaving those in need out in the cold

Holy shit

I think this post just made a few things click in my brain.

Being a fish in highly oxygenated water must feel so fucking good

I see the waves swirling around the intertidal zone, leaving behind trails of dissolved bubbles and I'm like fuck yeah some blenny in there is just going hnnnggg

What if you were a golden trout in a mountain stream. What if you faced the flow of the water and the swirling bubbles, like crystalline drops, ran against your gills. What if you took the deepest, cleanest, most pure breathes by running in place. Imagine.

You wanna be a fish so bad don't you

Is there space for a 43rd 🥺
