Draft of Tomorrow

I have never read a more excellent article

This is a great take and I would like to adopt “Feelings Yakuza” in English actually, I feel like it conveys the whole thing way more obviously than “anti” (not to mention the muddled meaning of “proshipper”).

Realizing that Spy X Family really is The Anya Show to me, and not just because "oh look, cute baby child" but because Anya is the center of the story. She has so many secrets resting on those tiny shoulders. She is juggling so many agendas. She's the one who knows everything and her choices drive the plot—she chose Twilight, she chose Yor, she chose Bond—and even when you look at the other characters and their relationships she IS the star they orbit around! Twilight and Yor's relationship is built on their shared care for Anya! And more than that, at the core of it all, Anya's goals are the ones we're invested in.

The center of this story isn't the superspy trying to do his job, or the assassin trying to do hers. It's the little girl who said "FAMILY" and pulled the building-blocks of one close around her with all her tiny strength, and everyone else in this story keeps being moved and changed and redirected by the force of Anya's attachments to her family.

And at the same time she is SO SMALL.

from observations, I feel like many people took “history books are full of propaganda” and ran with it and instead of more deeply investigating history from varying sources, they just don’t know jack shit about history

I need everyone that has ever talked about “overthrowing capitalism” to understand that

also there are things you didn’t learn about in history class that nobody was trying to hide from you

(there are definitely things some people sometimes ARE trying to hide from you, and that was even more true in the pre-Internet days when it was easier. I’m not saying it never happens. but it’s not always the reason)

if your teacher is trying to cover all of…I don’t know, Modern European History™, they might not have time- between wars and economic crises that impacted the fate of nations -to get into Virginia Woolf’s gay love letters. that doesn’t mean they’re ~hiding her as part of a homophobic conspiracy~. it just means they have a lot to cram into like six months to give teenagers some vague understanding of the events that shaped our society

I see a lot of people on here like “why didn’t I learn about [historical figure who is important in the history of an oppressed group but didn’t have a huge impact on the Big Picture of the world] in school?” and other people responding “you know why…” and like

sometimes. but definitely not always

Turns out trying to cram 7,000 years of human civilisation into a 45 minute class period before lunch has issues.

Look. School is supposed to be cliff notes.  Primary, secondary, they’re a basic toolset. You’re supposed to go on from there. And no, I don’t mean tertiary, I mean far, far beyond.  I mean keep feeding your goddamn brain and exploring everything.  School gave you enough to function in a basic society snapshot, now go make it a better one.

turns out one of the most bullshit parts of school is that after it’s over, it’s on you to learn all the shit they didn’t or couldn’t teach you

On the bright side, continuing to learn things indefinitely & making it easier for other people to also learn things is at least one part of how you make that better world you’re striving for.

Reblog the writers’ fortune cookie for luck!

Guys I reblogged this and then wrote an 8000 word story I didn’t even have a solid plan for. Reblog this shit.

ya authors be like 'i wrote my book in 3 weeks' GIRL WE CAN TELL

Hey remember when Ri Jeong Hyeok went grocery shopping to stock Yoon Seri's kitchen because he knew she had trouble eating and was worried she would starve herself after he went back to North K?

The way it paralleled the gifts and celebrations Seri set up before she almost left NK... because she wanted him to be happy?

And when he knew she struggled with depression and took sleeping pills to deal with insomnia, so he recorded himself playing the song he wrote for his brother that actually saved her life in Switzerland because it was the best he could do to stay by her side and protect her?

And remember when he spelled out I LOVE YOU YOU SERI with books the way she did? And then he wrote out hundreds of texts ahead of time and sent them on a time delay so that Yoon Seri would get messages for a whole year telling her to eat and go on a walk with him and take care of herself... and then, he scheduled someone to deliver her a potted plant, so they would bloom before the last text... and he made her say 10 nice words to the plant every day just like she made him do to the tomato plant?

And then in the last text, just as the small white flowers were in bloom, he told her he would be trying to find her in Switzerland where the Eidlewiess grows. And then another year at least passes, but he DOES. He finds her the way he always does. And she crash lands (descends) in just the right spot... like she always does.

BECAUSE I REMEMBER IT. AND IM NEVER GETTING OVER IT.

REAL LIFE WILL NEVER BE THAT PERFECT.

opening up my own fanfiction document on my personal laptop to see if the author has updated it yet

I’ve ordered some magazines for the xxxHolic movie review and it turned out to be 1/4 of page long XD

Ok some other magazines came and the interviews are longer but oh my the photo session from Mgirl is amazing (and it involves the “shooting an arrow together” scene).

“our brand is about empowerment” no the fuck it’s not, it’s about getting money. tell me the damn holiday sale and be done with it.

Me: *gets story idea*

Me: This is so obvious and clever it practically writes itself!

*later*

Narrator: It did not write itself.
