"Writing is utter solitude, the descent into the cold abyss of oneself."

Some artwork that I made a few years back for my third artbook, The Style of Loish. I just love neutral colors with a bright color glowing through it. Woops, I think I just described like 90% of my art 😅

what do you mean this isn't a scene from S2???

yes, I'm back on my meme shit

when internet people are like “i love gothic literature but i hate anything that discusses incest, sexual violence, oppression, misogyny, abuse, torture, gore, murder, or death”

GOTHAM’S GROUP CHAT RP: The Plant Family

“Sock helped you avoid my plants under the promise of snacks, and now the Court’s best assassin is out and GONE, you moron! …Not you, Sock. You’re a wonder, and we’re thrilled you’re here.”

These are honestly so absolutely adorable, I love them so much 😭😭

i might elaborate later but fanfic replies literally develop writer’s metacognition and make them better writers

so, Metacognition is the practice of thinking about thinking or identifying one’s cognitive process . in essence, metacognition is understanding how you prepare for academic challenges, exams, or tasks, and then being able to reflect on whether you did well, you prepared adequately, and what was most effective. in a writing setting, this type of self-awareness helps you transfer skills in writing, say, fanfiction into writing academically, competitively and professionally. 

here’s an article from brown university on the subject i’ll discuss further. there are 3 parts of practicing metacognition identified in this article: planning, monitoring, and evaluation. how might this look like for a fanfic writer? 

planning: asking oneself ‘what is my goal?’ ‘what strategies should i use to meet that goal?’ ‘how much time/length do i need to meet my goal?’. so maybe my goal is to write a meet cute where two characters kiss. i’ll need to use a perspective, an upbeat tone, and forward characterization to do this. it’ll probably take 5000 words and two days to write. 

monitoring: asking oneself: is my story making sense? am i reaching my goal, or do i need to summarize more succinctly to keep it to 5k? maybe you started with a lot of exposition and now you’re 6k in and the characters haven’t met yet. what went wrong/changed? is it ok that it changed or did you not realize it got away from you? what now? 

evaluation: asking oneself: did i reach my goal? was it effective? what would i change next time? 

this is where comments come in

it is incredibly difficult to evaluate yourself. comments like “i love this!” actually do begin to touch on the evaluation step of metacognition. it means, in general, the writer is on the right track. comments like “i loved the dialogue between x and y” or “the emotions of this section really hit me” begin to answer the questions of was it effective, did i reach my goal and conversely answer what would i change next time (by adding more of whatever was specified as working well). HYPER SPECIFIC comments, like analyzing the story between the lines or pasting in a line that you really liked and explaining why, is like jet fuel for the metacognition process and i’m not exaggerating. specifically pointing out what was effective and why is incredibly useful 

i can straight up credit my writing style to all of my friends and readers who have given incredibly detailed comments. when i found a community who gave feedback like that, my writing improved a thousand times faster than before. so! i guess what i’m saying is give feedback! it goes so much further than you realize!

Wired: Leave comments because it makes your fav writers feel good

Inspired: Leave comments because it will make them write better

Eureka-d: leave comments because it will make YOU write better too. It develops your meta cognition as well

I been screaming about this for like 4 years now! Want more and better fic? Tell your fic writers what you liked and why!!

HOLY FUCK THE AMAZON WORKERS WON THEIR UNION VOTE

im running so late to this but holy fucking shit this is historic

last thing - while unions are obviously a collaborative effort and this incredible victory is the result of the hard work and sacrifices of many different people i think it’s absolutely essential to highlight the role of ALU’s founder chris smalls rn

chris was fired by amazon in 2020 for organizing a walk-out in the wake of their absolutely criminal handling of covid protocols in staten island. in a meeting with bezos amazon execs were later caught bragging that he wasnt “smart” or “articulate” enough to organize against them…now he’s helped facilitate the first successful union vote in amazon’s history - eat shit!

joey's great witcher bake-off has a level of pure chaos that is simply unrivaled

in Her Sweet Kiss, the singer uses a variety of pronouns, including the royal ‘they’, i/me, she/her, and ‘you’. he seems to be addressing someone in the song, referring to them repeatedly as ‘love’ or ‘my love’, but he also describe an alluring yet dangerous woman, whom he is in love with. on the surface, it is easy to conflate these two beings—the ‘her’ of ‘her sweet kiss’ and the singer’s ‘love’—but, in another interpretation, the differing pronouns indicate the existence of two separate people. therefore, one could assume the singer is in love with both the person he is singing to, and the person he is singing about. furthermore, it is implied the person being sung to is also in love with the woman of the song, creating a love triangle of sorts. in this essay i will—

3 hot tips for participating in fandom:

1. Just do it. Scream into the void and the void will scream back. Someone else out there is just as weird and obsessed as you.

2. Curate your experience. If you don’t like something, leave it alone. Exit the page. Hit the back button. Block liberally.

3. Relax. There won’t be a test, I promise. There is no wrong way to be a fan, and you don’t need to justify your interests/kinks/squicks to anyone.
