Best trick I ever picked up. Seriously.

I have also learned this is great for [PICK A COOL NAME FOR A SHIP] and [LOOK UP THE FACTS ABOUT OXYGEN LEVELS] and [WHAT’S THE WORD] and [DOUBLECHECK CHARACTER’S EYE COLOR] and ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

Anything that isn’t critical in the moment, and could be filled in later while I’m currently trying to burn through writing pages that will be lost if I don’t get them out right now? Brackets.

This is seriously the best advice, and it really helps put it into perspective that the first draft is just that- a draft. There’s no reason to agonize over a particularly tricky bit of writing when you could just leave it in brackets and skip to the good parts, the parts you’ve visualized. I also use brackets for [fact-check this], [use a stronger verb], [is this in character?] and other notes as I write, just so I don’t forget what I want to work on when I go back and edit. 

Note the good sense of [brackets] not (parentheses).

Parentheses AKA round brackets can appear in fiction, usually as an afterthought in a character's thoughts or narration (as I saw them used just recently), but square brackets hardly ever do.

I'm trying to figure out if I'm a dude or not and I thought I was being stealth two months ago hitting up my mom like "Hey I might get a chest reduction what's ur opinion" then last night with the "Yo if I was a guy what would you name me" I GOT A FUCKING PHONE CALL LIKE "You know you can just tell me you're trans. You'll still have depression as a man but whatever. You know my opinion doesn't fuckin matter right just tell people to fuck off, you used to always tell people to fuck off, what changed why do you give a shit now. You were cooler when you were eight and didn't give a fuck" AS IF THAT WAS A CONVERSATUON I WAS READY FOR AT SEVEN IN THE GODDAMN MORNING

I remember telling my dad over the phone I was transitioning and he just said, yeah that happens, and continued audibly eating a salad.

Just in case the show doesn’t end up airing or they air the censored version Internet Archive has the whole series plus more so you can watch this fall :)

More notes. They are not in order by the way. There is still more stuff to say about the world building/drawing/exploring topic. I just haven't gotten to these notes yet.

This one is about lights but it's in progress as well. Feedback is welcomed

“Kill them with kindness.” Of course. Just make sure you do kill them.

Do any of u have decent recipes that are like 5 ingredients (not including spices) and take 45 mins or less to prepare i gotta stop eating sandwiches for dinner

yeah hang on

ignore the title of this google doc because it's a long story but it's a really solid recipe for southwest chicken alfredo

this is a vegetarian potato curry recipe that's about 75% spices; once you get the potatoes in there you can really do whatever you want with it

this is literally just pasta, broccoli, and cheese babey and you can live off that shit for DAYS it makes such a big portion

bro this spinach/pesto/3 cheese flatbread is so fucking tasty bro

also you can make the flatbread yourself it's super quick!!

oh hey I'm eating this white chickpea chili right now, much like the curry it's mostly spices and you can do p much do whatever you want with it

don't let the name fool you these potatoes are delicious any time. not just breakfast.

this is slightly more than five ingredient when you add them together but if you have time and really wanna fuckin treat yourself I recommend these chicken strips + this cornbread + either these potatoes or these buttered veggies on the side.

These are my two favorite comfort foods. They're very easy to make and dont take long to cook.

Garlic butter rice

Orzo mac and cheese (comes out a little bit soupy)

this recipe for gogumabap (sweet potato and rice) saved my life when i couldn't eat hardly anything for a long time. the recipe itself calls for a heavy bottomed pot but you can absolutely use a rice cooker and put the rice and diced sweet potato in together and just let the machine do its thing

I did it out of love. You don’t owe me anything.

Too small, too powerful

This illustration is based on the Demon Poem by Russian Poet Mikhail Lermontov (1814 - 1841), on which a powerful demon wondering the world alone comes upon the Georgian Princess Tamara dancing at her wedding. Upon seeing her the demon falls in love with her; and kills her husband, then begins to court her until she gives herself to him; as she can see neither a demon nor an angel. but a tortured lonely soul. But when the two kiss, the kiss is fatal to Tamara, and as she rises to Heaven, the demon is once again left alone, to wonder the world and the universe, without love or hope.

I feel like I am not enough and too much at the same time
