Dont Mind Me Rambling - Tumblr Posts
Cyno being canonical more open when tighnari and collei are around is so cute.
“Thoughts on one of the hardest things: banishing the imagined bad faith reader from your writing process” by Melissa Febos on Twitter is hitting really hard today.
they can't just disappear when they're no longer a convenient plot device
don't treat side characters as ammo
God I hate it when that happens, it's like the author put so much effort into the mc and then didn't even care for the story. Like what the hell?!
I get it's not that big of a deal for most people, but for me there's nothing more unsatisfying than this in a story.
New writing rule: Checkov’s friend
If you introduce a named character with a relationship to a protagonist, their character arc must be resolved in a way that feels reasonable and satisfying
Which is to say: they can’t just dissappear when they’re no longer a convenient plot device
"[...] and if they don't see your worth and just throw you away, they didn't deserve you anyways!"
I say, holding a mango
Damn, can't wait until I've spilled enough of my brain into the depts of this website to experience it :›
I’m know I’m not the first person to say this, but any newbies on tumblr really need to understand how different this is from a lot of other social media. Particularly tiktok.
I just saw a creator on tiktok reminding followers that it’s actually a problem when someone goes back to the earliest post and watches all the posts chronologically, liking and commenting along the way. The stupid app recognizes it as spam or something and then kinda puts a halt on their account? Literally punishing people for positive engagement?? 🥴🤦♀️
I’ve already heard people saying years back how they don’t want to be “creepy” and go through a persons blog, liking and reblogging tons of stuff. But think how many more people are going to be worried about it now, thinking they might do actual damage! Most people, especially younger people, are so used to the way tiktok works now. So please, do not ever worry about this on here. Just remember-
You will never do any harm if you go on a like and reblog fest through someone’s tumblr blog! The only risk you’re taking is to make the blog owner weep for joy!! 😭🤣
Longing still
Though hopless
Restless still
Though dreamless
Reckless in the dark of night
Disoriented now-
Catch me, as I fall
My little lovely shooting star
And carry me back home.
Lost traveller's lament (1/?)
Name five things that make you happy! Then leave this message in the ask boxes of the ten people who’ve last reblogged your posts!<3
I love the smile of a warm soul, the steam of fresh tea.
The yawn of a day falling on a good friend's cheek, when the whole world hasn't rested
but we. The quiet promise of a shooting star
though I know it will be broken,
and the cackling of a fire, blazing alive. Warm and alive, breathtakingly beautiful.
