“Tousled caramel brown hair somehow managed to not look messy, and the blinding gold shorts Jeremy wore made his legs look longer than Jean knew them to be.”
I hope nora knows what I pictured is straight up gold booty shorts rocky horror picture show style, why anyone would wear that to an airport is none of my business
i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.
as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."
NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING
The skill can come back and it often does. It is not unusual for it skill recedes during stressful and painful times. Maybe you just need more stability/safety/kind people around you.
I have been through something similar a few times in my life with writing, yoga, studying...
Admittedly, my life is always financially and socially precarious, so my notion of stability currently just means "enough money to pay the rent and food for the next few months."
It is hard to hold onto anything when you have to fight for survival all the time, either materially or emotionally.
Wow, uh. Okay, I'm gonna need a minute to process "It is hard to hold onto anything when you have to fight for survival all the time...". You're genuinely rewiring my brain is we speak.
Thank you, this means a lot to hear. <3

nora really wrote a book about a character who never thought he was going to live. a character who died over and over again and only made it out alive once. in the final draft. DO YOU GUYS SEE WHAT I MEAN
In this essay I will
does anyone know a good translation of the mo dao zu shi (grandmaster of demonic cultivation) novels? i bought the first book of the official english translation and found the prose really lacking, and a lot of people online agree. none of the fan translations seem more fitting either.
i recently connected with someone in ukraine who really likes these novels, and i want to connect with her through this but don’t want to waste money buying the other volumes of a mediocre translation. i don’t know if she found a better ukranian translation or if she was fine with the english translation because english is not her first language and she can take the jumbled prose, but as a native speaker i couldn’t get through it.
can anyone help me? please, i can’t deal with the ‘?!?!???’ punctuation anymore
(also, does the english translation get better with the second/future novels? i might stick it out if i know the prose improves)
Cassie is feeding me personally by talking about Kit and the gun, excited for my boy to roll up to the magic sword fights with a magic gun
Made a graphic to celebrate my wins
no but making the shy insecure little boy fall for the sarcastic dark-haired boy with a sharp tongue and making the second develop a love so profound and reverential for the first years later was the best decision cc has ever made, wasn’t it

Huge fan of when my speech patterns rub off on people enjoy when thay happens
