All The Moons Of 2024

Do you know why I love the “enemies to friends to lovers” trope so much? Because a relationship like that involves RESPECT. They start off hating each other and then they have to work togerher until they realize they have something in common, so they develop a respect that slowly turns into love. Those are the most solid ships y’all.

Funny how y'all mfs posting paragraphs about Sulli and how mental health is important, how hate affects idols irl are the same fucking hypocrites who went on their keyboards and wrote/spread real hate about someone on their birthday to the point where the hate for him was deadass trending in his own homecountry.

What do y'all think that idols don’t see the hate? Multiple idols time and time again have said that cyber bullying is what affects them the most and makes them insecure and what not but all you insensitive assholes get up on twitter everyday and treat these real people like absolute shit just cause you can and then when something like this happens y'all are the first ones who have stuff to preach.

It’s the same vicious fucking cycle. All of kpop twitter will be making tweets about not being mean to idols anymore but i’ll give it a few days and y’all will be right back to bullying them relentlessly ruthlessly nonstop just for the fucking fun of it. Y’all do not care so don’t pretend like you do. Your hypocrisy is a damnation to the people we’ve lost cause of shitheads like you. The way kpop twitter joined hands just yesterday to hate on a person on his birthday just cause you fucking could and now you get up on Twitter to talk about how online hate affects a persons mental health. Nah, fuck you. Fuck you real bad.

Y'all motherfucking hypocrites for preaching about not spreading hate for idols today when it was some of you filthy people who went out of their way yesterday just to hate on someone for have been born? Fuck you and your double standards. People like Jonghyun and Sulli are never the problem, motherfuckers like YOU are and that’s that on that.

The specific fandoms who targeted him on his very birthday yesterday and made a whole hate hashtag trend against him, ya’ll know who you are; X1, EXO, MonstaX, NCT fans. It’s people like YOU who cause things like this. If y’all don’t want your name to be dragged through dust then learn to be decent human beings. 

Y'all ashamed? Y'all motherfuckers should be!

How to Write & Create Creatures

Here’s a list of quick tips when it comes to creating your fantasy (or horror) creatures!

1) Warp and combine already existing creatures. Be inspired by real life and mythologies— put a magical twist on an already existing animal. The “Nemean Lion” is a lion in Greek mythology whose fur is impenetrable. Medusa is a woman with hair of snakes. 

2) Think outside the box. A creature doesn’t have to be inspired by only living things. Beauty and The Beast has talking tea cups and clocks. If your creature is organic, think beyond your typical animals: plants, insects, bacteria, diseases, amphibians, etc.

3) Use all five senses. You don’t have to use them all at once in a description, but as the author, you should be aware of these details!

Sight: What do they look like? What are their unique features? How big are they compared to a human?

Touch: Is their skin rough like leather or soft like silk? Do they bare hair, and is it matted or greasy?

Smell: what scents come with the creature? Does the fairy smell like freshly baked muffins? Does the zombie smell like rotten eggs?

Hearing: What sounds do they make? Not just verbally but as a whole (loud footsteps, crackling bones, labored breathing, twinkling of a wand, etc.)

Taste: If they’re a rotting creature, would the salty taste of decomposition fill the air? Or does the pretty little fairy bring back memories of childhood sweets to your protagonist.

“The creature let out a low snarl, the smell of rotten flesh hitting me long before it ever came into view. Its leather-like skin was matte compared its the thin strands of greasy hair that danced in the moonlight.”

4) What sustains the creature? Does it feed off of blood, flesh, or human emotions? Is there a type of meal it would prefer or does it eat anything?

5) What is your creature’s motivation? What necessities does it need to survive? Does it need shelter, food, and water? Vampires require blood. Outside of basic survival needs… is it in search of something more material? An item or a specific person?

6) What summons your creature? Does it appear when someone rubs a magical lamp? Does it wander aimlessly until a sound catches its attention? Does the smell of blood make the monster from within come out?

7) Leave room for your reader’s imagination. While you want to thoroughly paint the picture of your creature, don’t over-explain. Instead, leave some room for your audience to fill in the gaps with their imagination. This will truly make the reading experience more unique to the reader.

8) Give it weaknesses. A creature that has limitations and rules is a realistic one. Werewolves only turn on a full moon and are weak to silver. Holy water burns a demon’s skin, and vampires can’t go out in the daylight. Is there a string of words that could paralyze it? If it can’t be killed, what can hurt it? Can it be captured or trapped?

9) Make it hard to kill. If the creatures in your story are easily defeated, that means there is less tension and conflict. Does it have immense strength or skin that is impenetrable? Make your characters think and be clever in the face of an impossible situation.

10) Does it have a home? Where does it rest? Does it live in caves with its herd or does it sleep under the beds of children? Is it a wandering monster or one that lives in the trees of a magical forest?

romanticizing mental illness is dangerous and misleading

you know what’s really irritating

when male academics constantly refer to men by their surnames and women by their first names

like you’d never go to a lecture expecting shakespeare to be referred to as “william” but it’s not at all uncommon to sit through an entire lecture in which jane austen is referred to constantly as “jane”

it’s such a petty thing but it just really rubs me the wrong way, like it has a real suggestion of respect and admiration/lack thereof
