Sketches?? I think??? And a bit of cracky MHA mixed in. Literally ask me any questions, this is the only social interaction I am capable of. My amazing mutuals @polarized-here @cronchy-dumbass @cocufia :$/&:):!-
fairytales which tell you to be both kind and clever fairytales that say to be kind is to be clever and to be clever is to be kind fairytales that say the cleverest thing you can ever do is choose kindness and that cruelty or thoughtlessness are always foolish but not kindness never kindness
i proudly delete comments if they make me slightly frown, thats called freedom
Nah, fam. It's not about "taking" criticism. It's about the fact that unless a writer asks for it specifically, it's a dick thing to do on a website that is rooted in community.
If a writer wants critique they will ask trusted friends or professional associates (in the relevant field). When a writer shares a fic on AO3 it's not necessarily with the aim of improving their craft (there are better places for that). It's about sharing joy.
Positive comments enhance that feeling of joy and community. Negative comments do not.
Fic isn't a product to be evaluated. If it's not for you, then you can just walk away. 😁
For those who don't know, Rafah Crossing is closed. Meaning Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are technically not allowed to go into Egypt through Rafah Crossing (with exceptions, like holding a foreign passport) so in order to evacuate, Palestinians need to bribe Egyptian border security officials. The standard price used to be about $5000 - 7000 per person but some Palestinians have been told to pay $10,000 per person just to cross the border, forget other expenses like food and boarding.
For a group of people who are enduring genocide and the complete destruction of their homes that money is impossible to raise without the help of fundraising. That and the collapse of the UNRWA is the reason you're seeing so many Gofundmes nowadays. The entire aid system is gone with the exception of local aid organisations that have limited reach.
So if you see a credible fundraiser, please at the very least share it so it can reach more people. This list by @el-shab-hussein is a good place to start.
abstract and modern art haters are sooo snobby like klein literally Created an entirely new pigment and then painted a canvas in a way where the brush strokes wouldn't be visible. the insinuation that people with no skill could reproduce that is so annoying because unless you are skilled at color mixing and painting you definitely couldn’t lmao
guys guys guys hear me out i actually never finished captain america’s first movie movie or if i did i forgot most of it because anything before age 10 is a blur BUT what if for some unknown but soon to be developed valid reason, peter ALSO got frozen in ice. Like i don’t know maybe he just hopped in that plane ship thing for funsies, or maybe it was a completely separate incident from whatever happened to steve but long story short they were both stuck in some cold fucking ice and woke up in the 2010s. And wow get this I actually forgot the first avengers movie too, but what i DO remember is that Peter and steve finally meet for maybe 10 seconds in civil war. What if by that point steve is an avenger, peter was adopted by the Parkers because teenagers shuffling along streets isn’t actually as common a thing anymore, and by a string of events they both come to the realization that the other is ALSO from the 40s and I don’t actually ever plan to do anything with this but god do i want a stupid fucking story about it
i hate it when some fics are just better as a one shot? like im writing a new fic but i want it OUT into the world as quick as possible but I know that it’d be way fucking better as one work. life is cruel
