WIP Big Bang 2023 Round Starting April 1st!

What is the WIP Big Bang? Good question! This is a Big Bang with one goal in mind: to clean out your fanfic drafts folder. These are stories that were unfinished for whatever reason, that authors returned to and completed, and the art that goes with them!

Please read our FAQ/check out our schedule for more details.

Yes, I started it at 37 because of that other poll. 🙄

Please reblog - this one needs to escape containment

see also that old commercial:

- "Would you like to receive a call from...?"

- "Had-a-baby-it's-a-boy!"

If you know, you know ;)

(My husband and I still quote that commercial all the time and just recently were wondering how many people out there still remember it. He and I are 6 years apart in age and grew up on opposite coasts, yet somehow that commercial made such an impression on each of us that 25 years later, when entire human adults no longer have a concept of the product it was advertising, we still quote it weekly.)

IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST

OR ‘PEAKED’

BUT PIQUED

‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’

THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA

THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY USEFUL THANK YOU

ADDITIONALLY:

YOU ARE NOT ‘PHASED’. YOU ARE ‘FAZED.’

IF IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG DAY, YOU ARE ‘WEARY’. IF SOMEONE IS ACTING IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU SUSPICIOUS, YOU ARE ‘WARY’.

ALL IN ‘DUE’ TIME, NOT ‘DO’ TIME

‘PER SE’ NOT ‘PER SAY’

THANK YOU

BREATHE - THE VERB FORM IN PRESENT TENSE

BREATH - THE NOUN FORM

THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE

WANDER - TO WALK ABOUT AIMLESSLY

WONDER - TO THINK OF IN A DREAMLIKE AND/OR WISTFUL MANNER

THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE (but one’s mind can wander)

DEFIANT - RESISTANT DEFINITE - CERTAIN

WANTON - DELIBERATE AND UNPROVOKED ACTION (ALSO AN ARCHAIC TERM FOR A PROMISCUOUS WOMAN)

WONTON - IT’S A DUMPLING THAT’S ALL IT IS IT’S A FUCKING DUMPLING

BAWL- TO SOB/CRY

BALL- A FUCKING BALL

YOU CANNOT “BALL” YOUR EYES OUT

AND FOR FUCK’S SAKE, IT’S NOT “SIKE”; IT’S “PSYCH”. AS IN “I PSYCHED YOU OUT”; BECAUSE YOU MOMENTARILY MADE SOMEONE BELIEVE SOMETHING THAT WASN’T TRUE.

THANK YOU.

*slams reblog*

IT’S ‘MIGHT AS WELL’. ‘MIND AS WELL’ DOES NOT MAKE GRAMMATICAL SENSE.

SLEIGHT - DEXTERITY, ARTIFICE, CRAFT (FROM ‘SLY’) SLIGHT - VERY LITTLE, FRAIL, DELICATE

IT’S ‘SLEIGHT OF HAND’.

DISCRETE - SEPARATE, DISTINCT, PARTED

DISCREET - SUBTLE, STEALTHY, DIPLOMATIC

AND TO CONTINUE THE OP’S THEME

IT’S SNEAK PEEK

NOT SNEAK PEAK

A SNEAK PEAK WOULD BE A MOUNTAIN ENGAGED IN ESPIONAGE

THEY ARE VERY LARGE AND WOULD FIND THIS GENERALLY DIFFICULT 

THANK

(OH AND ONE OTHER THING

BULLION = PRECIOUS METAL

BOUILLON = STOCK, FROM THE FRENCH “BOUILLER,” TO BOIL)

SHUDDER:

SHUTTER:

NOT SAME NOT SAME

BIAS = THE NOUN FORM ("YOUR BIAS IS SHOWING")

BIASED = THE ADJECTIVE FORM ("I MAY BE BIASED, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT TRUE")

ACTUALLY IT'S MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT SIMILAR TO EFFECT/AFFECT BUT CAPSLOCK PSAs ARE NOT THE PLACE FOR NUANCE

some mind horses

My Mind Horse is apparently a Przewalski Horse:

The Looney Tunes horse continues to live rent free in my head

Older doodles of Azalea 💙🤍

[sniffs the air] methinks some of y’all were horse girls

I have revisited my mind horse on the back of an incident report form:

@beste-glatisant are you recreating a horse from a particular book in this drawing? because if so I LOVE that book and please remind me what it was called, I beg you!

Hi, guys!

I usually don't do things like this, but desperate times force us to take desperate measures. Let me preface by saying that I'm from Venezuela, and if you have seen world news at any time in the last 2 decades, especially in the last 5 years, you should know that the socio-economic and political situation here is absolute hell. My government calls itself democratic when in reality it's nothing more than an authoritarian regime. 

In the last 2 decades, the National economy has deteriorated to the point of driving 95% of the population into extreme poverty (The other 5% are corrupt government officials that have been robbing people's money for decades). The hyperinflation here gets (if I'm not mistaken -and I shit you not) to 1500%. Yes, that's fifteen hundred percent. People more knowledgeable than me about the subject have determined that the income for an average family should be the equivalent of 500-700 US dollars to cover all their basic needs in a month. Do you know how much is equivalent to the monthly minimum wage in dollars? Today, November 18, 2021, at 5 pm the minimum wage is 2.21 US dollars. Yes, Two dollars twenty-one cents. Now, you might understand why in the past years there has been a migration of Venezuelan people to other countries in South America, North America, and Europe. Over 5 million people have left the country, seeking better opportunities elsewhere.

Why do I tell you this sob story? Because despite my family being lucky over the years and able to put 3 meals at the table a day, our situation has changed. My stepdad, who is the primary provider for our family, got sick. Two weeks ago, he had surgery to remove a tumor from his abdomen. The medical expenses are never-ending and we're looking for an extra source of income.

So, my mom is an amazing crocheter (an unbiased opinion, I assure you), and she made some things to sell. Some are in stock and others can be commissioned.

In stock

Items for commission are HERE

If anyone is interested in helping us out and getting a beautiful handbag in one sweep (or commission anything else) please contact me by chat or ask box to get more information.

My family and I will be forever grateful for the help

* The colors of the threads here just an example. You can ask a different palette for your commission

Note: Prices don't include shipments.

Everyone…meet People’s Sexiest Man Alive!!!!

This thread is almost perfect except for the absence of Nude Tayne. Unfortunately, we mere mortals are not equipped to handle Nude Tayne, so we will have to settle for Celery Man.

I’d like to fly, but my wings have been so denied.

Shirtless Oliver, a series: 1x01 Pilot.

For Alli.
