"Let's hang out" 🐐☀️
I’ve told her not to get her hopes up. “After all,” I say, “we’re only going to celebrate it for half a minute” when she asked what in the world I was talking about, I pointed out “This is your thirty-second birthday”
Bad news: your kid is the neighborhood cryptid.
Good news: you can get that on a bumper sticker
It’s The anniversary of the day I had a stroke for no reason so let’s celebrate with this real bus ad
“Milllenials! They say you can’t have it all. Well we’re here to say you can. You can have a stroke!”
I started smelling burnt toast in court this morning and was going through these symptom checks a little frantically when opposing counsel leaned over and hissed, "Are you smelling burnt toast or am I having a stroke?" and it turns out the court reporter just had a bagel at her desk.
Anyways. Better safe than sorry.

Know what? We all need some pure innocence combined with satisfying accomplishment.
Someone should redraw this in the classic TT style!
I think someone whispered my name… without actually whispering my name.
Again, I don’t really think I was asked specifically, but hey, here ya go! ;D
My style = Original Style
The classic Teen Titans style, eh? I’m no George Perez, but…
This is the best post now
To be fair as a very small kid I also thought 12 years old was like the equivalent of a granny, considering I couldn't count too far past 20 anyway.
Writing a novel when you imagine all you stories in film format is hard because there’s really no written equivalent of “lens flare” or “slow motion montage backed by Gregorian choir”
You can get the same effect of a lens flare with close-detail descriptions, combined with breaks to new paragraphs.
Your slow-motion montage backed by a Gregorian choir can be done with a few technques that all involve repetition.
First is epizeuxis, the repeating of a word for emphasis.
Example:
Falling. Falling. Falling. There was nothing to keep Marie from plunging into the rolling river below. She could only hope for a miracle now, that she would come out alive somehow despite a twenty-foot drop into five-foot-deep water.
Then there’s anaphora, where you write a number of phrases with the same words at the beginning.
There were still mages out there living in terror of shining steel armor emblazoned with the Sword of Mercy.
There were still mages out there being forced by desperation into the clutches of demons.
There were mages out there being threatened with Tranquility as punishment for their disobedience, and the threats were being made good upon.
Mages who had attempted to flee, but knew nothing of the outside world and were forced to return to their prison out of need for sustenance and shelter.
Mages who only desired to find the families they were torn from.
Mages who only wanted to see the sun.
This kind of repetition effectively slows the pace of your writing and puts the focus on that small scene. That’s where you get your slow pan. The same repetition also has a subtle musicality to it depending on the words you use. That’s where you get the same vibe as you might get from a Gregorian choir.
Damn I made relatable reblog- bait post and writer Tumblr went hard with it. This is legitimately very good advice.
For more neat tricks (aka figures of rhetoric) like epizeuxis and anaphora, read THE ELEMENTS OF ELOQUENCE by Mark Forsyth. It’s both educational and delightful, not to mention overflowing with wry wit. Great book.
No matter how suspicious you might find the neighbor who never opens their blinds, they will never be as suspicious as the neighbor who wants free reign to peek in through people’s windows.
I like this analogy, who do you trust more, the person closing their blinds or the person watching through the windows
