friend server has changed our nicknames to various things you might find in a haunted house or whatnot so whenever one of us has a tough time it produces really good sentences such as “keep going you can do it creepy spider” and “terrifying shadow i hope you feel better soon” and “thank you sinister glow you’re always there for me”
my dad was asking about bg3 because he hears me play it, so I gave him a rundown about how it's a turn based story game & I mentioned character romance & he goes "so you're romancing snagglepuss?" and. is he wrong tho
sometimes im like "wow holy shit im being really fucking annoying. i should stop talking" and then i pull out my magic 8 ball and it says "youve always been annoying and your friends chose to talk you anyways. youll be fine" and im like wow thanks magic 8 ball. and then the ogre attacks me
*holding my hat in my hands* well y'see the ppl in the cemetery were gettin all mad about. u know, the grave digging. aw babe don't bite my arm again don't be mad im sorry
not a character who died and came back different or who died but came back the same but a character who died and came back extremely angry that you stopped digging for them
The thing about Timmy Chalamet is that he’s truly a great actor and he even has good taste in projects and he’s not even overexposed when you calibrate for how overexposed all that group of 25-30 year old big stars are……however something is still off. any time he gets cast in something it feels like that movie instantly turns into a parody of a movie. I cannot explain this
i like to think that helena bonham carter is never actually cast in any movie. they just find her ensnared in the petticoat section of wardrobe, add or substract a few clothing layers, re-tease her hair, and then release her back onto set
never let anyone tell you that trawling through mediocre victorian poetry isn't worth it. we just happened upon an absolute BANGER of a worm poem. go read it or else 🪱🪱🪱
So, guys, I want to branch out more into writing original romance fiction, but what I love most is 1) queer and 2) historical. But this leaves us with the issue that legitimate, based-in-actuality historical fiction leaves us with a rather limited set of plots thanks to, you know, decades of rampant homophobia. From reading a lot of reviews of queer historical romance, they’re mostly kinda depressing with a tenuous HEA (or no HEA at all), and that aint for me.
Is just saying “fuck history” and pretending that it never happened a thing? Can I just write a regency romance where the fabulously wealthy new neighbour who appears to be an ass but is actually lovely is also a woman and no one bats an eye at her marrying the main female character?
Honestly modern romance fiction just doesn’t really interest me! So… what do you do? Can you just say “history does not spark joy” and throw it out?
A thing I like to do for enrichment in a discord server is make stuff people say into 'inspirational' pictures, upload them to an image site, and turn them into a bot command (/inspo) that chooses a random one. Some examples from a friend server:
