whenever ppl are sincerely discussing the paranormal, a certain kind of non-believer will always come in and be like “well, it’s because ghosts and demons aren’t real, hope this helps <3” or call ppl schizophrenic or delusional or psychotic. and it’s so fucking annoying because yeah, we get it, you think you’re better and smarter and wiser than we are but you’re also actively preventing any meaningful and productive conversations from happening so i’m gonna need you to wrap it up and leave us alone if you’re not willing to have an open mind and actually talk

#had a tiktok get almost 300k views rn and half the comments are like this and it’s so annoying #like if you don’t believe and don’t care to understand why some do just. leave us alone?? #there’s no need to be heavily patronizing #and don’t even get me started on their idea that paranormal believers believe every little piece of evidence presented even if its likely— #—not true. like they cannot comprehend that maybe just maybe we can use discernment and critical thinking #it’s so condescending and rude. not to mention how inconvenient it is to view the person you’re talking to as a moron #anyways reading and listening comprehension has gone down the fucking gutter and that comment section is proof #paranormal #ghosts

oh also one of the other prompts is probably going to be two chapters just due to the nature of the prompt itself.

one of them i'm looking at three chapters because it feels weird for it to be two and i roughly know how the other two will be set up in terms of dividing points (the first chapter is already done).

currently, most prompts are one-shots.

#musings #bandit writes fic #december banditnanza 2023 #sorry if i'm updating on these more than normal #actually #i think it's a return to normal i used to be much more chatty about my writing and updates regarding it #this year has just been...this year #(y'all i'm between 400 and 500k less words this year than last year. for understandable reasons. but that's still a thing. #i looked at my goals for this year and the BARE MINIMUM for word count was 500k #like that was me looking at my output like 'yeah this will be easy that should be fine' #i'm not even over 300k - i might be by the end of the month? maybe? #but like #THIS IS NOT A BRAG BY THE WAY #THIS IS ME INDICATING HOW MUCH I HAVE NOT WRITTEN THIS YEAR #THIS YEAR WAS JUST ROUGH I HAVE BEEN RECOVERING #and i'm TRYING to get back into the swing of things #THIS YEAR WAS JUST HARD)

Just saw how those VMA votes are going…

Maybe we should collectively get together and put some of those votes towards Paramore-

#Lana is at around 300k and Paramore has around 292k #you know what FOB is at?? 62k 💀 #I love them with everything I have but no amount of manifestation and delusion is gonna get us that win 😭 #maybe if they would’ve put FOB in the damn rock category where they belong we’d have a better chance 💀 #this is why these award shows ain’t shit they literally know nothing about music it’s not even funny #it’s okay we can manifest the SMFS Grammy win instead what do you guys think #ANYWAYS I like Paramore I’d rather see them win

[charincharge]

Will you be continuing I Don't Want to Wait? I'm obsessed!

#okay here’s the thing #yes #yes I will #but I have no idea when or how #it’s been over a year since I’ve been able to write anything other than for work and tbh I feel totally paralyzed #like maybe the 300k+ words I wrote during quarantine were a fluke and maybe I don’t even know how to write anymore #I want to finish that sucker so so so badly but I’m just fully brain frozen #I even have fully fleshed outlines of the remaining chapter and still I can’t seem to put pen to page #I don’t want to disappoint y’all but if I’m being honest with myself I just don’t know how

I always find it kind of funny what some other ppl consider "slow burn". Like I've been reading a fic that the writer repeatedly said was slow burn, but some 40k words in and they've had their first kiss...

I'm not complaining, but that just doesn't feel like that slow of a burn to me lmao. But Then Again, this is coming from the person who writes some of the slowest of burns... not the slowest, mind you, but like. In discacc, I'm pretty sure their first kiss happened around... what, 400k words in? Something like that. And they hadn't even officially Met (in person) until like some 70k words in.

And Then there's ITNL. Currently 74k words, and Wolfwood hasn't even officially entered the story yet.

We're in for the long haul, y'all :]

#speculation nation #itnl shit #discacc shit #sure i'll tag it. this post has me remembering writing it :') #but yea like. hm. i dont think it'll take as long in ITNL as it did in discacc for the relationship shit to happen #if i had to estimate... maybe around 200k? for the first kiss at least. based on my plans for it & all. #keeping in mind that ITNL as a whole could be 400k words. or more... #im notoriously bad at properly estimating word counts though #as seen by my 'im 150k words into discacc and halfway through the game so Surely the fic will be 300k words' #and im sitting pretty at 500k and still a good third of the game left. whoops. #i say it's not the 'slowest of burns' bc one of my fav fics ever is at... what... 600k? 700k? i havent looked in a while actually #so i dont remember. but after all of these words the protagonist still doesnt even realize he's got FEELINGS. #they held hands Once. easily made up for with everything else in the story. utterly fascinating mysteries. so on so forth #for the intersection of fandoms of ppl who know p5 and my shit. itnl rly is inspired by Marigolds. #the short and sweet summary that really tells you very little (so u have to tell via tags what it is)!!! #the time travel and years passed before even MEETING the other person again #im not going as in depth into it but the inspiration is there. im still just utterly enamored with Marigolds years later #and this is a trope so common in p5 fandom (the NG+ style of time travel) yet i hadnt seen it at all in t.rigun #so. yeah. maybe i moved to a new fandom and am taking inspiration from one of my fav fanfics ever #but to be fair discacc has been largely inspired by Marigolds too. just more with characterization than story structure. #anyways. dont worry ITNL readers there will be vw from like the moment they first meet. flirting inevitable. #but the actual resolution will take a while. Emotional resolution even longer than Physical resolution lol #if u read this far into the tags then xoxoxo love U. hope u enjoyed the hints of the planned structure for ITNL

[lazaruspiss]

definitely outta work on indulgence ch3 to make sure i wrap it up before holiday. unfortunately i am having ffxv emotions at the moment and want nothing more than to complete my datalogs for the rest of eternity.

#rereading poor wayfaring stranger as well. incredible fic. over 300k words and its not even done. its been a wip since 2017. #was last updated 2022. i have hope. maybe #regardless the 62/? chapters that do exist are Everything #sad to see how many fanart links have died over the years :(

I will say if you're learning chinese to read novels, it's a win win in some ways. To improve? You gotta read. What do you want to do? Read. Is there adequate interesting reading material just a literal glance in any direction? Oh wow you bet. You can't even fathom how many good novels await you in whatever genres you're looking for, many of which will be free and accessible online, with audio books too!

#rant #just like. 镇魂 ALONE is 50+ hours of chinese reading #joy of life or evernight or the kings avatar??? probably 500 hours of reading material ALONE #or listening material if you do the audiobook #same for dmbj. its easily 500 or more hours of study content #and if you need like 2400 ish hours of study to become B2? well. #thats like 5 novels/novel series if you pick big novels #and in chinese its still only like maybe 20 or less novels if you pick the more normal size 300k word webnovels #if you made your goal to read say 30 chinese novels. even if you made it hard for yourselr and did NO #prestudy and just brute force read and looked stuff up? by 30 books especially if you used text and audiobooks? youd be REALLY well off #in terms of how well you learned chinese for comprehension

I keep seeing so many posts where people "regret pulling for dhil" (no, they don't elaborate why usually. if they do, it's because they barely have him built or did it wrong and are upset he isn't doing big damage out of the box. like my blade who absolutely sucks because he's built bad due to poor relic luck)

meanwhile, my dhil:

#hsr #i went to get this stat for a screenshot for this post. last time i looked at it it was 1.6m and that happened back when he was i think e2 #maybe it was e4 i forget. it was a boss battle i believe. the space station thing. if memory is remembering. never managed to pass that #but i have tried. even the stimulated universe with all the buffs came close but not quite. dont know how i did it #but APPARENTLY i passed it without realizing?????? i missed this. when did this happen! #im going to assume this just happened recently after getting him to e6 lmao #ALSO YES THIS IS JUST A POST TO BRAG ABOUT MY UN-WHALED E6 DHIL THAT IM VERY PROUD OF. i got super lucky pulls fhdhdghdjssk he carries me #also i want to assume this was simulated universe buffed damage. now i want to try to purposely beat it so i dont miss it this time #i need a second insane dps though for the mirror and that other thing. im so bad at remembering names #i think i want to try to e6 jingliu. shes my second best dps. she did 300k with huohuo and ruan mei at e0 and she doesnt have her sig LC #i think that's pretty good. compared to all my other characters who can't seem to break 60k WITH buffs #i also have the worst relic luck. ive been trying to switch dhil to a new set for a few months now #but no luck yet #meanwhile in genshin my strongest and most damage character is lyney at 45k if im lucky. he does that maybe once a week fhhfhdhdje #i cant figure out how to make genshin do bug damage even following all the guides lmao. i assume its artifact luck #someone build my genshin characters for me lmao

SIGH the state of finding therapy in this country.....

#the state insurances need to include more therapists it cannot be that my city of 300k ppl #has 12 therapists (that u can easily find online) that take state insurance....TWELVE #actually 11 one of the adresses that the search engine gave me isnt even in this city #spahn im going to kill ur apps and lauterbach can u PLEASE GIVE US MORE KASSENSITZE #there's like almost 90 therapists in this city but they can only take private insurance or like. u pay urself for the sessions #(which isnt bc the therapists are shitty this is bc the insurances only let a set amount of therapists per area get payments #via state insurance. which afaik havent been updated in decades so the proportions of population per therapist are wildly out of wack) #sigh #sel talks #even more limited options if u want a specific kind of therapist #id like to maybe talk to a psychiatric doctor bc those are the only ones allowed to prescribe meds #but we'll see if that works out LMAO

[illogicalvulcans]

the people have spoken, 300k of pining here i come

#okay realistically its probably not a full 300k of pining #like 150k maybe THEN plot shenanigans #illogical rambles #should have set the poll for less than 24hr runtime oops #i was so excited to make one i didnt even think beyond rapidfire clicking and typing

[devotedlystrangewizard]

seeing Certain People hate on ocs in fan content is so funny just as someone whos into multiple games with character creation

#people who make ffxiv ocs i love you so much tell me more #yeah ill read 100k of how ur character fell in love with ur fave if ur character is compelling #fuck knows ive written well over 250k words worth of oc-centric bullshit #maybe even 300k+ now that i think about it #might math it if i get bored in class today

Look at this adorable little houseboat I found for $300K in Seattle, WA. It has 1bd, 1ba. Built in 1984, it's name is Hello Hobo and it's been renovated.

Has a little seating area by a heat stove.

Cute little kitchen with a perfect work triangle.

I like the ceiling and here's a nice table w/banquette seating.

Next to the table there's the ship's wheel. The boat has 40 windows.

The sleep loft.

There's also a sitting area and a desk up here.

The ladder goes up to the rooftop deck.

It's flat, so maybe you can make a roof top deck.

And, the bathroom even has a tub.

It has occupied this slip for 20 yrs. and was just pulled out and given a new undercoating. The rent for the slip is $750mo.

It's shape really stands out, doesn't it?

There are also trails and bike paths nearby.

The text updates I was sending a friend while at the protest in Paris yesterday are kind of tragically funny, it goes from "the cops are staying away and as a result everything's going well, they clearly received better orders today, I'm glad" to "wait, no, forget that"

1. "Everything's going well, there are a couple of small fires but no one cares, the crowd calmly avoids them, some people stop to warm their hands over them, it's very civilised. I don't think the people who set stuff on fire are the problem, when the cops stay away everything goes smoothly"

2. "There are groups of CRS with batons and shields in the side streets but they stay very discreet compared with the other protests and weirdly enough this one is calmer!"

3. My friend : "Maybe they received different orders today"

Me "Yeah it's a miracle, someone made a sensible decision"

4. "We just passed another side street full of cops and I heard someone said "last time they started charging us, we had no idea why" so yeah they clearly received different instructions today"

Less than 10min later: "never mind we're being tear gassed"

Then: "Never mind they just charged us several times we have no idea why"

"I arrived at the end point of the march, looked back and there was a fresh new cloud of tear gas over the (very calm, many elderly people) groups in the middle of the march. More police cars + a water cannon are arriving"

Can't overstate how calm the protest was, just people (100K to 300K according to estimates) walking from point A to point B while holding signs. There were a few trash fires but if they'd sent firefighters to extinguish them people would have let them through... I had friends who walked in the middle of the march to avoid any trouble or gas and they still got tear gassed without knowing why. Even supposing there were people ahead of me I couldn't see who were being more antagonistic towards the CRS, surely the hundreds of cops present could have somehow dealt with that without charging and bludgeoning peaceful protesters and tear gassing thousands of people? Right now it's not possible for French citizens to peacefully assemble without getting systematically gassed by police.

Here's a video of when they first charged the front of the march, the people they're hitting can't move back any faster (I was somewhere in the compact crowd behind wondering (cause I'm not tall I couldn't see anything 😭) why we were suddenly being pushed back when things had been calm and fun until then. People who had been there before were coaching others like 'don't try to run, you'll make the people behind panic, just walk fast'). I counted five or six tear gas grenades going off

From what I've heard from people who were at the protest, the ones who didn't get gassed are the ones who were at the back of the march and left early without completing the march (some left because they saw the cloud of gas ahead). I've also seen people at other protests in various cities yesterday describing a similar situation : peaceful crowd getting separated in two by a charge, gassed and soaked with water cannons, most people having no idea why. If I had to describe this in terms of police strategy it would be, gas as many people as possible to dissuade your average peaceful protester from completing the march and showing up next time, and be aggressive towards the front of the march to rile them up and get nice images of youth burning things or throwing stuff at cops to show on the evening news and turn public opinion against protesters.

(Note that the society of journalists working for France Télévision (public TV, like the French BBC) have published a statement decrying the poor framing of the protests on the national news, saying too much emphasis was placed on the small amount of people destroying stuff and almost nothing on police brutality and the record numbers of (peaceful) protesters in the streets.) (Read this if you're French and have been wondering why some people around you still don't think the situation is worrying...)

Anyway, I'm glad I went. It was good to see so many people just as angry as I am about what's happening to this country and guillotine-chan was in attendance, and many people had very fun signs and I liked this angry flag:

#frpol #(les fautes d'ortho dans les sms c'est pas de ma faute mon tel arrêtait pas de m'autocorriger à tort...) #la situation continue d'être surréaliste je dois dire que #''au milieu d'une crise politique le Président répond aux questions de ses concitoyens dans Pif Gadget'' m'a prise par surprise
