love is primary

my chemical romance is the funniest and weirdest band ever. They’re all fucking losers who would genuinely rather play dnd than hook up with groupies. The singer used to work at Cartoon Network. The bassist is on the fbi watchlist for crimes against disney. One guitarist is a guitar god but he also used to keep a little action figure of spiderman in his pocket all the time, the other is like a little lap dog of a man, but he’s also on the fbi watchlist for death threats against a us president. They refused to be on the twilight soundtrack, one of the most popular franchises at the time but then they preformed on yo gabba gabba and re-recorded one of their songs in simlish.

Oh I didn’t forget. Make no mistake I did not forget the fact that Stephanie Meyer, nyt’s bestselling author of thee Twilight series who, upon looking at the weirdest greasiest human alive said oh my god I need to make this man* a creepy ass abusive predator. And I did not forget Gerard was so offended and upset that they wrote a whole ass diss track about it and went on a rant on Twitter that ended with them talking about getting that philharmonic cheddar. I can never forget.

The philharmonic cheddar. For proof and prosperity!

lmao

imo the thing that makes "set in the present day" worthy of a strike is how often that means a book is gonna be full of half-assed social commentary or pop culture references that already feel outdated when the pages are still warm off the printer. I can't remember which author I'm thinking of who talked about the so-called "'timeless now"" (and iirc even that author was talking about how they thought the concept was kinda bullshit lol) but to me there's a huge difference between fiction that's like, vaguely contemporary in the sense that it feels like it could take place today, and fiction about covid and twitter

sorry i know i've complained about this a lot but if there was One thing i wish people on here would grasp wrt roman approaches to mythology. is the centuries and centuries of italian mythic tradition & transmission that existed here. like a lot of these myths were being told & transformed & developed local version before rome even existed. these guys were trading materials & traditions with the greeks since like the bronze age. a person in rome might of have heard a lot of these stories as a kid from their grandmother who heart it from her grandmother, who heard it from hers etc etc. they were living changing myths in italy! with their own variations even! so a roman author, while they DO extensively use greek literature, is nevertheless working off something that is a deeply embedded part of their culture too. to act like these ideas were just transplanted directly from 5th century athens to 1st century rome, and especially as if greece had the oral tradition while rome was purely literary, is silly

more specific to the aeneid but like when i read takes on here sometimes it becomes really apparent that people don't realise that aeneas & the story of aeneas coming to italy has an incredibly long tradition in italy going back for centuries before vergil was even born. like vergil didn't just pick up the iliad one day & make all the rest of that up, we have literary & material sources for this going way back. of course vergil did change things in his telling of it, and he was working within an epic literary tradition in which he works heavily off of homer in style and substance but this is an very old italian story he's developing!

Hey we saw you from across the glade and we really hate your vibe.

Words from light of love by Florence + the machine stitched onto fabric

Saw a sibling poll and needed to expand it because I fit, like. Mid youngest, youngest in theory only child in practice, and adopted. And I think they all have their own unique parts in the sibling ecosystem.

i like sailing myths and superstitions because most of them can be boiled down to "if the ocean doesn't like you it will chew you up and spit out your bones. and if it really loves you it will swallow you whole and keep you forever. good luck 👍"

“My story has so much gay rep in it!” Awesome. How are you treating your female characters btw

This post blowing up has taught me that a lot of you think that “how are you treating the character” is asking about how they’re treated within the story, not how you, the author, is writing them. I don’t care if your female characters are goddesses or superheroes, do they talk like actual people and not a cardboard cutout with tits stapled on

this is sending me
