I was inspired by @jezifster’s recent question about non-gendered royal titles, and I put together this graphic to serve as a jumping off point for people writing monarchies in SFF !

Obviously this non-exhaustive list contains mainly western titles, all in English. Feel free add any on additional gender neutral terminologies that you can think of, including those from different languages and cultures!

THIS is the bear cave painting i was talking about, the line weight, the proportions, the fine details around the face, and the fact that this all had to be drawn from memory, idk man, it’s incredible to me. if i could meet one person from history it’d be the person that painted this bear 30,000 years ago

reminders for writers.

  • nobody gives a crap if something is overdone in fiction. what they really care about is the execution
  • having a bad day of writing does not make you a bad writer
  • tropes ≠ clichés. if someone tells you it's wrong to use tropes, disregard the advice
  • writing in your second or third language isn’t always easy. you’re doing great
  • writing advice = tools. not rules. you’re not meant to follow every advice you read about on the internet. learn the rules so you know which ones to break
  • every writer is capable of writing a captivating story, but your story might not be everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s ok. there will still be people out there who’ll adore it
  • it’s ok to not excel at every genre! you can write things because you think it’s fun, doesn’t always have to be a matter of writing something because you’re good at it. it’s ok to explore (and it helps you improve as a writer!)

yall see “love” and immediately go to “romantic love” if you translate “love is the whole point” to “romantic love is the whole point” you need to rethink everything because love is found in everything. in community, in friendships, in family, in food, in nature so actually love is the whole point and u can die mad about it. hope this helps <3

Happy holidays to everyone whose holiday isn’t what they want it to be. whether it is illness, poverty, distance from loved ones or something else that’s making things tough for you this year, i hope that you can find peace and warmth. i hope that your year will end and start on a brighter note

I am not kidding when I say if you’re under 21, keep returning to and trying foods you dislike on your own terms.

My palate changed so much during my teen years that I can name a dozen foods that were disgusting when I was a freshman and I eat regularly now.

Don’t get me wrong, I still dislike some foods, and nobody should pressure you to try things you don’t like, but trying different preparations of foods as you get older may surprise you. A child’s palate is radically different from an adults’, even if you are sensitive to textures and tastes.
