tragedy enjoyers when even good intentions lead to ruin

you can do all the right things in a tragedy and that still won't guarantee the right consequences!

@st-just

tundras are soooo pretty aand beautiful to look at smears of best ever colors on flat and muted greens and yellows.... hard agree with los campesinos like yes take a body to tundra for real......

nature but it looks like a sad hug its so real

not to be pretentious, but a lot of stuff you guys complain is being ruined by capitalism/the algorithm/whatever can be solved by consuming something else than the most basic mainstream stuff that's thrown in your lap. "songs nowadays are getting shorter to fit entire tiktoks and it's ruining music" have you tried listening to something else than Spotify's Top 100 my dude? "fanfiction-to-publishing pipeline is churning out mediocre books and it's ruining literature" have you tried reading something outside the NYT bestseller list my dude? This is not a post about how algorithm based industries give visibility to the lowest common denominator art at the expense of actually creative and meaningful art that struggles to make itself known, which is a valid discussion for another time, this is about people actively not giving this kind of art their visibility because they won't get out of their way to discover stuff outside the mainstream radar and prefer to be passively fed what to consume while bitching that is not up to their tastes.

“oh no we need to practice for our fake dating” is the funniest trope to me cause like. there are so many people who force themselves into a shitty relationship they hate just because of amatonormatiivity that it’s an ingrained part of popular culture to joke about hating your partner.

which is to say, oh my god you dont need to hold hands and go on fake dates, you don’t even need to agree on a single detail of your cover story beforehand. you can literally stand 6 feet apart at all times and look profoundly uncomfortable and all anyone will think is “yikes™. not my problem”

actually people should address this in fanfic more because “i know we could half-ass it, but i would never fake mistreat my fake husband, how dare you” is absolutely delightful

New trope: fake dating for spite.

“Look, my only goal here is for our pretend relationship to be demonstrably healthier than Aunt Rita and Uncle Carl’s fifteen year, three child marriage - which means the bar is so low we probably can’t fuck this up”

cannot emphasize enough how a good piece of media can reset a creative slump. stop putting off consuming that media because you "should be writing instead" and then not write either

He would not fucking say that but let's indulge

#honestly some people really are out there writing characters OOC#but within the story the characterization is consistent and engaging#and you’re like…ah…sometimes a weed is just a plant out of place

More male characters who are interested in their mother's legacy. As a trope there's a lot of sons and daughters who follow in the father's footsteps and there's yes, girls who honor their mother, ect. But let's have more dudes who are like. Stumbling on their mom's secret fairy cottage or some shit. And they're like aight gotta make the tea

Genre of character: submissive like a guard dog is submissive

#very capable of taking care of themselves very eager to take care of someone else#would kill a man for even slightly offending their partner

tragedy enjoyers when a character perpetuates the cycle of violence they themselves were a victim of

tragedy enjoyers when a character is victimized by the cycle of abuse they perpetuate

characters who view themselves as tools/weapons first and people second... characters who martyr themselves for a cause because they think that's the only way they can be worth something... characters who push themselves past their breaking point again and again and again... characters for whom devotion and masochism are inseparable... characters whose self-sacrifice becomes self-annihilation...... what was my point again? i had a point. anyway.

This tweet totally describes me

Could really use more media where wives viciously protect their husbands

Also violently. I want very violently. I want her to go scorched earth. I want five scenes earlier to see her husband being diplomatic and calming down a situation so no one gets hurt because his wife is in danger. And then something happens and now he's unconscious and being threatened and his wife just absolutely levels a seven block radius with the force of her refusal to let anyone hurt him.

if you're an author I wish you a very bigolas dickolas

TWIN FLAMES (I FOUND MY BURN SCAR ON YOUR SKIN) -/ A WIP SIDE PROJECT

twin flames (i found my burn scar on your skin) (signified by the tag twin flames) is a collection of fantasy short stories set in a currently-unnamed world. It is being written in third person and present tense.

Within this world, soulmates are widely accepted - however, it is also widely accepted that not everyone has a soulmate, and even those who do may never find them. While being able to find a soulmate connection is not uncommon, being able to find a true twin flame connection is considered rare. This collection is meant to focus on different kinds of twin flame connections throughout the world and their dynamics. Though it might also have some non-twin flame connections….

There are three stories planned for this at the moment! (this list will be updated as needed)

I. as of a father to a daughter.
