this seems self-centered you know “stereotypical American bs” but I’m curious

This year has been quite trying, but I'm happy that I discovered a love of making these horse animations in 2023.

Multiple people have said VIBES and my brain is actually melting.

Unmute !

I watched this without sound and it was just so happy and joyful I knew it could only get better with the music

And I was right

Confession: I love Molly Hooper

And reading books by sir Arthur Conan Doyle I actually really miss her character.

She was amazing. And she deserves the world. She was a loyal friend. A genius. The nicest person on earth. She was always ready to help. Sherlock valued her greatly (after John helped him remove his head from his ass). She was a bit lonely and she was looking for love but aren’t we all? That’s what made her a great character. A real character. She had her style, she had her life and she was freaking amazing and yes I will elaborate further this is not the last post you’ll see about her on that blog

More reasons I love Molly Hooper for:

Ohio Total Solar Eclipse

For those of you who weren’t able to get 100% of the total solar eclipse today… I gotchu <3

site that you can type in the definition of a word and get the word

site for when you can only remember part of a word/its definition 

site that gives you words that rhyme with a word

site that gives you synonyms and antonyms

THAT FIRST SITE IS EVERY WRITER’S DREAM DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I’VE TRIED WRITING SOMETHING AND THOUGHT GOD DAMN IS THERE A SPECIFIC WORD FOR WHAT I’M USING TWO SENTENCES TO DESCRIBE AND JUST GETTING A BUNCH OF SHIT GOOGLE RESULTS

OMG

This one’s an always-reblog, because who knows who needs it and hasn’t seen it yet?

You know, these new apocalypse prophecies just don't carry a punch. 'Oooo, the illuminati is going to perform a mass human sacrifice under the guise of the eclipse.' Big deal. 'Oooo, the path of the eclipse lines up with the seven cities of Neutrogena and when the sun is covered then everyone that got vaccinated is going to turn into a zombie.' I'm so scared.

Bring back 'huge fucking wolf eats the sun.' That's a classic that never gets old.

I think you're thinking of Nutri-grain.

Neutrogena is a brand of hazelnut-chocolate spread made by Ferrero.

I think you’re thinking of Nutella

Neutrogena is a type of particle released from radioactive materials

ok poll time because apparently im weird and i eat dinner way later than other people

may you find people who happily listen while you gush about your obscure interests. may you find people you feel comfortable and safe enough around to be your authentic self

One of the best tips for writing descriptions of pain is actually a snippet I remember from a story where a character is given a host of colored pencils and asked to draw an egg.

The character says that there’s no white pencil.  But you don’t need a white pencil to draw a white egg.  We already know the egg is white.  What we need to draw is the luminance of the yellow lamp and the reflection of the blue cloth and the shadows and the shading.

We know a broken bone hurts.  We know a knife wound hurts.  We know grief hurts.  Show us what else it does.

You don’t need to describe the character in pain.  You need to describe how the pain affects the character - how they’re unable to move, how they’re sweating, how they’re cold, how their muscles ache and their fingers tremble and their eyes prickle.

Draw around the egg.  Write around the pain.  And we will all be able to see the finished product.

Why am I like this

your last words before you die are the 3rd line of the last song you listened to. what are we saying ladies?

[ID: an old, stained recipe for chocolate sour cream pound cake.

Cream butter; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Combine flour, cocoa, soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix well after each addition. Add boiling water, and mix well. Stir in vanilla.

Pour batter into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool cake in pan 10 to 15 minutes; remove from pan, and cool completely. Yield: one 10-inch cake.

the recipe is credited to Mrs. James R. Lineberger from Gastonia, North Carolina, and a handwritten note at the top of the page says "very good."]
