"Laurence, what the Admiralty will say to me if I get a transport sunk on a clear blue day in harbour, I should not like to think," Riley said, unhappy at the notion [of Temeraire climbing up the side]. "I dare say I should be hanged, and deserve it, too."
Throne of Jade, chapter 7
Well, I suppose the good news is that the Admiralty shan’t say anything to you, sir, and they needn't bother about the hanging, either 💀
Happy (end of-) spring! A seasonal painting of Riffin for Humblewood/Hit Point Press from a whiiile back!

Had this in my wips for a while and decided to finally colour it djsksk (reference I used is from The Rite of Spring I saw it and was like. Omg. Laurence.)

I was disappointed in the lack of a TOS crew themed personality quiz, so I made one.
Go on a mission, make your choices and I'll tell you which crew member you're most like! I think Trekblr will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it))))
All potential results tagged.

This is how you do a meme. I don’t want to tell anyone my name or my bra size or my date of birth on the internet. Why can’t we make memes using useless and non-personal data points?
The flaw with the criticism of "this character isn't acting traumatized, you need to show how this event changed them" is that a lot of people experience EXTREME traumatic events and think it's normal. Their behavior might change in subtle ways, but they mostly just continue with their life.
This is especially true in children/young characters. See example here:
When I write traumatized characters, I ask myself two things.
Let's use my experience as fodder for a moment. I was a responder to a car crash fatality. My answers:
This is an overt trauma response as an example, but imagine a response to something less prevalent than roads. How often would the above responses come up?
Now let's apply the questions to someone who views the event as "normal" (I was aware that I was having an abnormal experience). Either they were raised around it or the people around them at the time of the inciting event made them feel like they were overreacting.
This is very brief, but I hope my point comes across. Yes, trauma is always felt, but how it's felt, when it's felt, when it's seen differs from person to person.
When someone, especially young people, are taught to just "move on" the trauma is still there! But it will express itself differently initially. Not being able to control their emotional response to a traumatic event may become a more visible reaction than any other.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"You look a little pale--"
"Aren't you hungry? I'll go grab us lunch. Burgers okay?"
"Uh, yes, but--"
"Text me when you're done here. I don't need to be here for this bullshit."
And when they come back, they don't mention being upset at all.
It occurs to me that one of the reasons Steve isn’t worried about getting killed isn’t just his courage and strength of will, but also the fact that he’s lived with the idea of death all of his life. During his life, he’s dealt with the idea of dying young. He wants to make it worth it, make a difference.

So liebe Leute, inspiriert von der Samstag vs. Sonnabend Umfrage, hab ich gedacht ich schau mal was German Tumblr zu dieser Sache sagt:
Ihr kennt das Verfahren, wenn ihr Bock habt packt eure Antwort und Sprachregion in die Tags!
firefox just started doing this too so remember kids if you want to stream things like netflix or hulu over discord without the video being blacked out you just have to disable hardware acceleration in your browser settings!
for the people saying this might be too difficult: idk about chrome but in firefox it just goes
> open settings
> search "hardware acceleration" and there should only be one result
> uncheck use recommended performance settings
> uncheck use hardware acceleration
done!
Since I'm looking at the comments and seeing a lot of people asking what hardware acceleration is and getting wildly incorrect answers, here you go. This is what hardware acceleration is. It's not DRM, and it's not placing a limit on memory usage (unless you have weird definitions for both "memory" and "placing a limit").
This is what hardware acceleration is:
"Do you just have a graphic for this on hand at all times?"
Yes. For this precise reason.

ok writeblr i have a question and it does not matter if you answer re fanfic or original work:
do you nerds know what themes you intend to tackle in longer works before you start, or are the themes a fun little surprise you don't uncover until the nth draft?
Themes on purpose before I begin, usually.
For a longer work I know the general/main themes. Sometimes I realize along the way that I can sneak in something extra.
Rarely planned, and sometimes I don't know what the themes are until a reader points them out lol
remember how young and scared we were?
