Reblog For Greater Sample Size.

Reblog if you've ever read a fic that was better than published books

hey authors :D so this post applies to EVERYONE, but especially those of y’all with anxiety or OCD

if you are writing something that has a stereotypical trope?? that’s perfectly okay. even if it’s a trope that you see a lot of people on the internet whining about.

it’s okay. it’s okay if you have a love triangle, or a miscommunication incident, or.. well i’m having a hard time thinking of more examples of tropes, it’s a little bit late and it’s been a long day, but i just want y’all to know that it is YOUR story. YOUR writing.

why tf would you want to spend all your time writing something you don’t even like??? if you want to write about something but most people think that it’s ‘cringe’ or ‘cliche’, you should still absolutely go for it!!!

because after all, your stories are for YOU. maybe other people can read them too, if you’re posting or publishing them, but at the end of the day they’re ultimately for you.

you CANNOT make everyone happy. so PLEASE do not cut out things that make you happy just so you can try to make your writing more palatable to snobs on the internet who don’t realize that they can just choose not to read things that they don’t personally enjoy.

this was kind of long. anyways i hope y’all have a nice day/night :D

kia ora! i'd like to start up an islander discord. this'll be a place for all islanders of colour (so not just the pacific!) to congregate. seasians, people from the caribbean, people who are indigenous to islands off of a mainland continent etc. are all welcome to join!

there's channels for sharing art, food, selfies, just chatting, and a suggestions channel among others!

pluralkit is also in the server.

rules to join:

be 18+

be a person of colour (this is a server for us!)

be an islander (lol)

that's it!

https://discord.gg/qVgwY7zGZh here's a link, it never expires so i hope to see you join!

feel free to reblog if you aren't an islander, i'd love for this to get spread as far as possible!

ah yes, my favourite foreign language feel, “I know what all of those words mean individually but not together like that”

hehehe

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.

it's so funny when cal kestis gets kidnapped and thrown into a gladiator arena and the first thing he says is hey ik this song it's from my playlist
