I drew this deer lord (sorry for this ancient pun 🥴) after reading “Selfish Rituals” by @kirythestitchwitch

I guess my painting is a huge spoiler, but this amazing story can't be spoiled by anything!

Dear author, I hope my drawing will inspire you just as your work has inspired me, and may this flow of inspiration circulate for the benefit of the fandom, amen 🙏🏻

Thank @feat-peach for quoting. That’s how I got to know about this fic.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch – 2.21: Fear Strikes Up a Conversation

They should invent hrt that gives you fangs

Just checking.... We all pronounce Miette like My-TAY in our heads, right?

It's "mne-eeh-t." "Mne-eht" said with that soft tongue on the upper palette French sound or "mee-yet". I put the "n" because the pretty tongue roll on the "y" kinda sounds "n"-like to me.

I've been saying it Mee-yet in my head. Like the French word for "crumb."

you ever accidentally create a recurring theme in your writing. you start putting together an outline for something you’ve never written before and get partway through planning, rearrange the pieces, and go “GODDAMMIT THIS IS ABOUT GRIEF AGAIN”? because let me tell you,

[image ID: @knine-nights says “Kind of, but it was with spaghetti, and I realized I need to learn more types of pasta. /end ID]

actually everyone else can go home clearly this is the only guy who gets me.

I keep breaking my main characters's legs.

My good sir I had a mortgage before any of those characters were published 💀

I know who exactly three of these people are. When I was a kid I wanted to be a Herald of Valdemar.

I wanted to be Menolly with her entire Faire of fire lizards.

I wanted to be a Starfleet officer.

I wanted to be Dirk Pitt.

i wanted to be indiana jones

I wanted to be Han Solo.

I wanted to be Vesper Holly most of all.

Sticking with the literary theme: Meg Murry. If we're doing movies/TV, Princess Leia or Laura Holt.

I wanted to be Alanna

Also Meg Murry, and the kid who lived in the tree in My Side of the Mountain.

Harry from the Blue Sword in middle school, Heralds of Valdemar not until high school

That smart kid from The Westing Game who figured out all the clues

I wanted to be Claudia Kishi with a side of Meg Murry.

Cimorene.

I wanted to be Nancy Drew

Cimorene, Claudia (while knowing in my heart I was really a Mallory) and Meg Murray, yep.

Meg Murry ofc, but Keladry of Mindelan and Beka Cooper

Most of these are pretty recent, but Tuck Everlasting came out in 1975. (The book, anyway.)

I wanted to be Taran Wanderer.

reblog to give the person you reblogged it from a good night’s sleep (maybe)(please)(I’m begging the universe)

i rlly hope it gets easier soon bc i am fucking losing my mind

Alright, to ao3's soon to be arriving Wattpad Refugees, a basic guide to general user culture:

1.) Unlike Wattpads vote system that let's you like each chapter, the ao3 equivalent kudos only allows one per work. Everyone is generally quietly annoyed about this. To engage with each chapter, you're heavily encouraged to comment. Trust me, it makes people's day.

2.) Ao3 has no algorithm. By default it's latest updated work first. You can find things to your taste through searches, filters and tags.

3.) 'No archive warnings apply' and 'user has chosen not to use archive warnings' mean two very different things. No archives warnings means the work is free from any content that could require a warning tag (character death, graphic depictions of violence, non-con, etc). User has chosen not to use archive warnings means it could contain any of the warning content, be it hasn't been explicitly tagged. Treat it like an allergen. No archive warnings apply is allergen free. User has chosen not to use archive warnings, may contain traces or whole chunks of the allergen. If you're likely to have a bad reaction, maybe don't take the risk.

4.) Speaking of warnings, ao3 has very few restrictions on the type of work that's allowed. Whatever your personal thoughts or feelings on that are, thats how the site is. You're likely to run across some dark subject matters and a lot of people are uncomfortable with reading that. You're well within your rights not like these works and have your opinion on whether they should be allowed, but harassing the authors of such works (or any works) is more likely to come back on you than them. Ao3 operates on a strong policy of 'don't like, don't read'. Use the tagging system to your full advantage to only engage with the kind of works you want to see.

We look forward to welcoming you all and seeing the fantastic works you create. Happy writing!

If people were too mean to you when you were growing up, a newborn animal will materialize inside your brain and it’s so so scared and shivering and it will stay there for years. Decades, even. And whenever you say something kind of weird but true to your heart the animal will tell you “Noo! You can’t say that! If you say that, everyone will hate you!”. The animal means well. It’s so so small and everything is so scary for them and it’s just trying to protect you. But listen to me. Listen to me. Whenever this happens, you can’t do what the animal says. You can’t. If you do, you’ll become as scared as the animal. You have to keep saying weird shit. You have to keep doing things the animal wouldn’t approve of. If you do enough things that scare the animal, maybe one day it’ll go to sleep.

nobuddy feels like they have a sharp attention span these days, right? and we all just click “agree on terms of service” because its hard to love yourself sometimes, well
