The Worst Thing About Writing Is That You Have To Write Things In Order For Them To Have Been Written.

My biggest goal in life is to create a great fic that artist would draw fan art. It's all i want 🥺

writing should be fun.

make oc playlists. spend hours on moodboards that have no purpose. write self-indulgent fluff that’s never going to be published. scribble three lines of poetry in the back of your history notebook. draw fanart of your own characters. write stupid dialogue that your publishers might hate. start new wips that you might never finish but write those three chapters that make you happy because if you don’t write them, who else will?

writing shouldn’t always be about “will publishers like this” or “i have to reach this word count” or “how do i get the most likes”.

have fun with your writing.

listen. i know i sound like a broken record and it’s a bit annoying but i have to once again ask you to watch the old guard on netflix. and if you like it, please recommend it to other people that you think might like it too. the potential this movie has for a sequel/franchise is enormous but it depends on viewers nonetheless. netflix isn’t doing much to promote it but i refuse to go down without a fight. so please just give the old guard a chance. feel free to yell at me if you don’t like it!! but in the name of black female directors and female leads and lgbtq+ characters and well done action scenes and great plot with great characters and a crew that is devoted to their work, i am asking you to at least try

running a tumblr blog is really just being like I’ve become obsessed with this new thing and now I’m going to make it everyone else’s problem

Stop what you’re doing. Reblog if you should be sleeping or doing work.

alternatively I do think it’s funny to be like

Villain: fool! the prophecy says that no man may kill me!

Trans Man Hero: *ineffectual stabbing*

Trans Man Hero: okay so like. the prophetic acknowledgement of my gender is good but also. very inconvenient right now.

when you tryna chill but your siblings love annoyin you

I think the obsession with having been “born this way” largely stems from the idea that you need to be “innocent” to be guiltless. 

If something is weird then you need to have no control over it, otherwise it would be mandatory to fix it. If I said that I had control over my stimming and could stop it at any time, people would request I do so. Not for my comfort but for theirs. If I said that I had control over my gender and could be something binary or maybe even cis, people would request I do so. If I said that I have control over my sexuality and could make myself heterosexual, people would request I do so. If I said I could control my attraction and could make myself monogamous, people would request I do so. If I said that I could control my disability and could choose to stop a flair up in its tracks, people would request I do so. They would never ask out of the goodness of their hearts, they would always be asking because I was annoying, concerning, distracting, or inconveniencing them. 

Diversity is sometimes only tolerated if you have no control. If you have control, rules will be made to stop it. Hair will be straightened, clothes will be standardized, languages will be shushed, interests will be squashed, weight will be lost, and so on and so on and so on. Proving that we were born this way replaces the more obvious, that we’re okay this way. I don’t need to be a helpless victim of my differences to be forgiven for them. My differences aren’t crimes.
