types of writing sessions

  • got on computer, looked at document, was like “fuck this shit” and got off
  • wrote like 150 words that consist of bloating the existing useless conversation or scene even more
  • wrote SO MANY WORDS but it was because you were so desperate to escape the Bad Part
  • wrote SO MANY WORDS but it was because you were so desperate to get closer to the Good Part
  • got on your document, ran into research issue, spent like an hour on Wikipedia, ah shit
  • the somewhat satisfying “fixing everything I hated about the scene I wrote the day before” session
  • decent amount of progress that took like 3x longer than it should have because you were repeatedly distracted
  • In The Zone and completely absorbed, just BLAZING through a few thousand words, probably close to the ending, probably listening to playlist
  • Not actually a writing session, just listening to playlist
  • the session where you write like a paragraph, suddenly realize the unfixability of your current plot predicament, and cry
  • that weird session where you don’t have much time and you’re super tired and you write like a page but you reread it the next morning and holy shit these words came from the fingers of god why is it so good
  • that session that is purely just navigating the boring shit of getting from one scene to the next and it sucks but you leave off on the cusp of something interesting and it feels good
  • the satisfyingly exhausting session where you write the Good Part and you’re confident it came out pretty well and you’re full of thoughts and stuff about where things are going next but you need to let them rest
  • get on computer, write exactly one sentence, get off computer. Now you can say you wrote today

For me there’s also:

  • open document, spend an hour reading what you already wrote, exchange exactly one word for a synonym, close document

And even better:

  • open document, add one comma, close document

All in a day’s work.

“Love is for mortals and fools”

Drew a scene from my favorite song in Death Note the Musical, based off of the Korean production I found on YouTube

Mello : Could you do something for me?

Near : I'd help you hide a body, wipe your fingerprints and leave my own at the scene of the crime if you asked.

Mello : Can you throw out the chocolate wrapper.

Near : Screw you and your wrapper.

death note would be infinitely better if light was a girl

first of all, death note NEEDS more good female characters. i dont think it even passes the fucking bechdel test

secondly the investigators assume from the start that kira is a dude so it would probably throw even L off the path for a while if light was a chick and it would be an interesting twist when and if they realize their assumption is wrong

third misa would be infinitely less annoying if she was a lesbian

finally, female Light would be such a sexy legend

L after realizing the main suspect is a woman:

When ur friend starts watching Deathnote for the first time and suddenly you get hit with a wave of nostalgia so cathartic that you fall back into being Meronia garbage and then you remember you still haven’t changed your pfp from Near so you realize it’s just been there all along festering waiting to drag you back into the depths of hell which you won’t resurface for weeks:

Honestly Light and L being good at tennis doesn’t feel right to me.... they both have the energy of people who skipped sports lessons by pretending to be ill. The only reasonable explanation is that they both sucked so bad that the game they played was an equal match

this is the new canon and people can’t tell me otherwise
