#but some of them

[piratefishmama]

I beg of you, start a new paragraph when someone new starts talking.

It makes anyones writing far easier to follow.

#writing tips #it was literally the first thing i learned in english lessons #and i know english isnt everyones first language #isnt everyones second or third either #but if you're writing in it... at least cling to /some/ of the rules #not all of them #because some of them suck ass and limit creativity and personal style growth #but some of them #the basics #the SKELETON of the rules #cling to the skeleton #tumblr bitches love skeletons #it also naturally separates your paragraphs! #which is never a bad thing

I suppose I have to take back some of the things I've said about RWBY now

#not nearly even half of the things #but some of them

the esoteric significance of having an ancient dried up lemon in your kitchen

#some people stick them with pins or cloves or chillis #but the best way is just to buy a load of citrus fruit. and eat it. and sometimes you dont eat all of it and some of them go bad #but some of them #some of them just dry up and shrink. and they keep forever. and they have magical protective properties.

BEING INVOLVED IN A FANDOM IS SO INSANE. DO YOU KNOW THAT SOMETIMES THE PEOPLE I THINK ARE SO INCREDIBLY COOL TALENTED GENIUSES ALSO THINK THAT I AM COOL??? SOMETIMES MY STORIES MAKE PEOPLE FEEL BETTER???

gotta be honest i have been feeling like boo boo the fool when it comes to writing lately because i so very badly overestimated my abilities and the whole weight of my hubris came down to crush me like a pancake even though i never at any point compared myself to the gods

But this is helping! Sometimes my stories are good.

#not this one heaven knows #but some of them #fic stuff

the best thing about writing agathian backstory stuff is doing cultural research and being reminded of good music and good movies that came out in 1997.

#musings #bandit writes fic #agave stuff #agatha shush you loved some of these #not this one #BUT SOME OF THEM

idk what youtuber needs to hear this but you don’t have to make a song just because you can

#no but seriously #what is it with youtubers and making shit songs #just cuz everyone else is #i’ll admit there are a lot of youtubers who make really good songs #but some of them #it’s like they’re just making them because everyone else is #and they’re popular #so they think why not #and then it comes out……. not good #youtube

#palestine #free palestine #israel #israel is committing genocide #i understand both sides of the argument in the comments #but the fact that this can even be some what believable is concerning in itself #always remember that an “us vs them” narrative is dangerous #we cannot deny that innocent lives are being slaughtered #i just want this war to be over #but thats not something thats going to be easily done

the paris catacombs are 1000x more fucked up than i imagined

#honestly i had never looked into them and i assumed they were just prehistoric caves or some shit

i love the french, i love the way they pronounce Rs like they're disgusted with them

#roxy writes #meanwhile the english seem to have some sort of phobia about them #perhaps this is related

I just think that 'animals are living intelligent creatures that have feelings and deserve to be respected' and 'when done properly farming is beneficial to both people and animals and there's nothing wrong with raising and killing animals for food, clothing, and other products' are concepts that very much can and should coexist

#i think a lot of people get too carried away in farming discourse to actually remember both of these things #some people are so aggressively anti-farming that they forget that meat and fur are necessary for some people #and that farming helps prevent overhunting of certain species #but some people are so aggressively pro-farming that they begin to think of animals as objects #that only exist to provide them with a product #animals deserve to be treated with respect and be given the best care possible while they're alive #but that doesn't mean that its a bad thing for them to die

the ghost of one specific homosexual cowboy regularly possesses Tumblr gays

#bringing back these iconic posts because I can never seem to find them or be able to reblog them #cowboy #cowboys #lgbtqia #tumblr history #rust and ruin blogs #gay cowboys #cowboy au #Wild West #westerns #these are some of my favourite things

that being said I'm not actually always opposed to conflict free fluff I am just opposed to the characters having their claws filed down for it. you can stick them in a coffee shop au it should just still feel like you sat the two worst most insane people on earth in a starbucks

#which in some cases I suppose if you did not file them down it would cease to be conflict free fluff #no matter WHAT au it was. but nevertheless

I haven’t seen a similar post on tumblr, but here’s a few places to donate money and find means to support those in Palestine-

Pious Project provides menstrual care kits as well as soap, shampoo, disinfectants, etc

Gaza Esims lets you donate Esims- these are used to connect to the internet and keep communication going in and out of the country

Operation Olive Branch is a spreadsheet of Gofundmes for families seeking funds to flee the country, each having a link to sponsor them

Here's a reading list from Decolonize Palestine

Stop Gaza Genocide is a google doc that is constantly updated, which includes how to contact representatives, how to protest, and various activist resources (US centric)

Samidoun provides a constantly updating calendar of protests, and you can submit ones not listed if there’s a protest happening near you (Global)

UNRWA and Care for Gaza are orgs that directly provide general aid and food

Lastly, while not inherently about Palestine, I do want to encourage everyone reading this that If you see a post regarding Palestine- a video, a photo, a livestream, a text post- Archive it with the Wayback Machine. When digital information is prone to deletion and censorship, we cannot afford to lose something as valuable as knowledge.

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

Percy, listening to this on the train

#STOP TRAUMATIZING THIS CHILD PLEASE #this is what it’s like when you were raised in a loving home and you find out your friend wasn’t #but they don’t know they weren’t #so you’re like um hey that’s fucked up and sometimes a crime? #you tell them parents are supposed to love you as is without earning it and they don’t believe you #you can hear the therapy bill racking up #annabeth chase #Percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo series #pjo tv show #mine #adding on to my tags because some people are debating if that’s how love works #love is meant to be a mutual exchange and something that grows over time between two people as their bond grows #whereas how Annabeth says it #in my opinion at least #she had to do XY and Z to be worthy of thalias love before receiving it #like with her mother #she has to be amazing before Athena is proud of her #vs Athena being proud of her just for being her daughter #that being said I’m not hating on a traumatized child having potentially negative and toxic patterns #more pointing out the comedy of the scene from Percy’s perspective who has a good grasp on healthy vs unhealthy relationships

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

#ra speaks #piracy #media piracy #pirate to make hondo ohnaka proud #obligatory ‘don’t fucking pirate small authors/artists works wtf dude’ statement. #anyone who’s seen my media bitching before knows I’m a hype man for indie films this ain’t about them #this is about corporate streaming services killing physical media bc sales numbers are less impressive than number of streams #edit: USAmericans stop telling me to buy DVDs and blurays at Walmart. think outside your borders for a hot sec. fun thought exercise. #your experiences are not universal #edit: WHO GOT THIS TO 100k. I JUST WANT TO TALK (this post is my second to hit 100k woahg.) #in other news: fix your fucking posture. drink some fucking water. and go the fuck to bed if it’s late bc it’s for me rn. peace and light.
