Prosíte Mě O Smysl?

Mt. St. Helens

I’ll have limited copies of this in print at VanCAF17 this weekend, come see me at table D-11! 

Unmute !

I cannot believe another week is like beginning we just finished one

super simple low-effort ao3 summary methods that are 1000% better and 1000% less annoying than just saying you suck at summaries:

copypaste the first few lines of the fic. u already wrote ‘em. let ‘em be their own damn hook

if ur feeling fancy & don’t mind showing ur hand a bit, copypaste the first few lines of the fic that u feel are esp. Important or Interesting - the ones where u first start getting into the real meat of things

state the main tropes! theyre probably already in ur tags - just say them again - maybe as a full sentence if ur feelin fancy. or with a joke if ur feelin Extra fancy

ask a question. pose a hypothetical. eg what happens if u take [character] and put them in [situation]?

make an equation. [character] + [thing] = [outcome]

just write like a one-sentence summary of what the fuck is going down. just one (1) sentence. doesnt matter if it doesn’t cover every important aspect. or if it sounds bland. any summary sentence is gonna be miles better than “idk i suck at summaries”

just…explain the fic like u would to a friend? it doesnt have to be a polished back of the book blurb. it can just be “[pairing] coffee shop au, but like, still with murder, and also i made everyone trans. enjoy”

just stick a meme in there

honestly who cares

just put literally anything but a self deprecating comment in there & ur golden

When I say I lost my shit at Grogu’s first words, let me tell you, I LOST MY SHIT.  All the speculation of what Grogu’s first words were going to be, the build-up of whether he would speak like Yoda or if he would try to say “This is the Way.” or some other wild thing, like those first words were going to be so important, there was so much build-up!  Years of build-up in real time!  And then Favreau chose THE MOST ANNOYING OPTION POSSIBLE, it’s not even Grogu’s voice, he’s just controlling a robot and then he ANNOYED THE SHIT OUT OF DIN WITH IT just “Yes!  Yes. Yes. Yes.  NO!  NO!  YES. YES.”  I HAD TEARS IN MY EYES I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD, Favreau chose the most obnoxious route he could think of for Grogu’s first words after years of speculation about how it would happen and it was juvenile ridiculous Star Wars bullshit and Favreau really woke up and chose violence when he wrote that and I respect that choice.

I KIND OF JUST REALIZED THAT JESSIE FROM TEAM ROCKET FORMS A FUCKING R WITH HER HAIR AND BODY

WHY DID IT TAKE ME OVER 10 YEARS TO REALIZE THIS

Extruding pasta

a theory:

Aelin, Feyre and Bryce have so much in common it almost seems intentional. What if the similarities are a part of a bigger scheme? Both the parallels in their stories and in their characters? What if she's plotting something?

A lot of people on tumblr are disappointed by her using the same pattern in the books -

almost too perfect first love, not that fitting second love and then the third - the mate

born to be someone really powerfull but hiding it/not knowing it

one specific form of art (music/painting/dance)

rattling the stars (inspiring/making a change in the world, in COEAB soon to come, I think)

the overuse of the word "incarnate" (anyone else annoyed by it?)

tattoed & flying boys (and gradually the girls)

Could be lazy writing, but what if she's done it in purpose? What if it all plays a big role in the future, maybe when they meet? We already know their worlds are connected, a crossover is imminent! I can't imagine that they won't notice anything when they meet?
