I don't know about y'all, but I sometimes prefer bad writing.
Now, I absolutely love poetic writing that hits your emotions and is so well written that you question your position in the world or perspectives you've previously had. That's great.
At the same time, fics with grammar errors and bad flow can be fun to read. It's like a bumpy ride, and the energy I spend consuming the material is different. I've read tons of amazing fics that misspell their words or have run-on sentences. I'm just thankful they posted the fic for free

drew barry as myself currently. coping with procrastination by imagining myself as my favorite character to get work done (very motivational). I imagine myself as barry to get through a lot of things
headcannon that barry allens greatest weakness is a weighted blanket, it makes him pass out almost immediately but he also hates it because he can't escape the grip of it
people reducing liam to the fanon archetypes of either Sunshine Puppy or Aggressive Dickhead is crazy because i rlly do think he’s one of the most complex members of the main cast when you actually LOOK at him outside of a shipping lens.
It's actually so incredibly sweet seeing you talk about your rock-love. You are a consistent ray of sunshine in this place, never stop being who you are 💖✌️
Aww thank you so much!!! As a gift I will tell you about one of my rocks
This is grape agate, which both not grapes AND not agate!! Grape agate is the common name for purple botryoidal chalcedony 🥰
Most of it is found in Indonesia, but there's also been small deposits found in Utah, of all places! This piece is from Indonesia. I spent a LONG time searching for a piece that was in my price range and had the vibrant purple color I wanted, since a lot of the cheaper pieces lean very muted purple or blue-ish.
Grape agate forms when andesite lava flows into seawater, leaving air pockets in the andesite as it cools! Water seeps into those pockets over time, picking up minerals and then coalescing into botryiodal (that's the technical term for the sphere formations) chalcedony deposits, aka grape agate! The color in grape agate comes from clay mineral impurities (mostly manganese!)
the wildest tattoo story i’ve ever heard. transcript below cut.
Anthony: Hi I’m Anthony Burch, your Daddymaster-
Freddie: Hi dad
Anthony: Uh, y’all played the Yakuza games? [chorus of agreement] Yeah, okay, so- I’m gonna- this isn’t gonna work so well for the podcast we’re doing. I’m gonna stand up, and then somebody just insult me.
Beth: He’s wearing a dress shirt that’s kind of nice with sweatpants-
Freddie in the background: Oh my god
Beth: So I don’t know where this is going-
Will: What is happening?
Beth: And now he’s unbuttoning his shirt-
Will (overlapping): Hey Anthony, you suck. (overlapping with Freddie) WHAT!
[exclaimations of shock]
Will: He’s got a back tattoo! It’s- it’s bitching as hell!
Beth: A fullass back tattoo, I’m never insulting this man again EVERRRR
Matt: Wait, is that a temporary tattoo?
Anthony: No it’s real
Beth: No it’s real
Matt: I mean, a temporary tattoo is real, it’s just temporary- [unintelligible behind background laughter]
Anthony: I guess mine’s temporary in the fact that I’ll die eventually, but no-
Will: What on earth- what is it? [overlapping with others] what is it? Draw a picture for our listening audience at home
Anthony: So it is a Yakuza style back tattoo. It is not complete or colored in yet, and the lower third is missing, but it's the first three cats I have instead of, like, a dragon or a fucking samurai or something cool, it's just my three cats, like, hanging out, but in Yakuza style, and it wasn't supposed to be like this. [over confused exclaimations] So I went in, and the plan was-
Matt: I mean, that's a lot for not to be-
Anthony: I KNOW.
Beth: Can I redo the [unintelligable]? This is why we all knew. This is why we all knew.
Matt: Also I’m changing the fact to that Anthony Burch is the most popular guy at school. Because he has a fucking cool tattoo
[laughter and agreement in background]
Anthony: This is a story about me being mentally not as great as I thought I was. So I went in and was like, I finally found the thing I want to do, which is a big Yakuza style tattoo of my cats because I love my cats so much. But I don't like pain, so what if you could design a tattoo for me that was, like, a three part thing, and we'll just do one part that stands on its own, and if I can handle the pain, we'll finish the rest of it?
Will softly in the background: What the fuck?
Anthony: And he went, Absolutely. And then a couple of weeks went by, and then he forgot that part and went: ‘Cool. I finished the tattoo,’ and he showed me the design, and A) I didn't like it that much, and B) it was so big- [soft ‘oh, no’ in the background] it was my whole back. In my head, I went, this is the moment. This is where you can decide to stand up for yourself and occupy the smallest amount of space a human being possibly can in the world and say, actually, we talked about it being small, or actually, I would like it if you change certain elements of the design. And I thought about that very hard for about 45 seconds, and I said, that looks perfect, let's do it.
Freddie: WHAT?
Will: This is the biggest, if not, no worries I've ever heard of in my life.
Anthony, over sounds of horror: Yeah. It’s- yeah. And so I laid on my stomach for 3 hours, and he did the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life, including getting my butthole and ding dong waxed, the entire time being like, it would be cool if I was an adult. It would be cool if I was capable of asking for, like- I now know if I go to a restaurant and somebody just hands me a plate of shit, I'll go, that's vegan, baby. And then not complain or send it back, apparently.
Matt: Have you grown to like it?
Anthony: No. [shocked and horrified exclamations from others] It hurt a lot! No, I mean, it looks good. I mean, I just got it here. I literally just got it today.
Beth: I think it looks killer
Will: It looks badass
Anthony: Yeah, it's not done yet. I'm sure it's looking good, but I have to go back and get more stuff done. All my friends who have tattoos were like, no, it's cool, like, at a certain point, it hurts so much you get adrenaline or you get endorphins or any of this kind of stuff.
Freddie: I’ve never bought that
Anthony: Nope! It didn't happen to me. Turns out, At least not on your back, because your back is close to your spine, so you get nerves. And so I could feel the needle vibrating against my fucking bones on my back. Felt like somebody with a box cutter attached to a fucking vibrating wand just dragging it across my back.
Matt: I think in support of Anthony, we should all get back tattoos of his cats- [laughter] All four of us.
Beth: We should all get back tattoos of Anthony.
Anthony: Don’t do that
Beth: I’m gonna do it
Freddie: We were just talking about that-
Matt: We all get back tattoos of Anthony getting a back tattoo
Beth: Yes
[laughter]
Anthony: When I was there, I said, like, a full back tattoo or whatever, and some guy in the other room
Freddie: ‘OR WHATEVER?’
Anthony: Yeah, yeah, and some guy in the other room was like, ‘oo that's the right move.‘ And I was like, Cool, that must be because it's a good for beginners thing
Will, pained: Wha-
Anthony: And then as it was happening, the tattoo artist was like, you're handling this pretty well. This is, like, one of the most painful places you can possibly get tattooed.
Beth: Oh, my God.
Anthony: And I was like, Okay, cool. That's good to know.
Beth: I want you to know that I see you, and that I would probably do the same thing, so.
Anthony: Yeah. Like, tattoos come and go, being awkward is somebody’s forever
