Reminder that "From the River to the Sea Palestine Will Be Free" is an antisemitic dog whistle. The area between the mediterranean sea and the jordan river is the part of Israel that jews are indigenous to. If you wanna support Palestine please do but stop sharing anything with that phrase specifically k thx.
People that haven’t watched this, you should. It’s long, but very, very informative if you want learn about the history behind this Israel-Palestine (minus the propaganda). Bassem Youssef really lays it all out.
Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
hey could y'all do me a favour?
things like "biting this" and such
hey queen I'm going to need you to go to sleep. go to bed.
Every time I read advice on how to properly write guns, I am once again reminded that I’ll never be able to have a character use two guns at once 😭
Guns are always always written wrong because, well, they’re guns, and most people don’t actually get to shoot regularly to figure out how to write them.
So. Here’s some chaotic gun facts.
1. When a gun fires, it is SO HOT. IT WILL BURN YOU. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT will burn you. The bullet, the casing, the barrel. It’s fricking hot.
2. You don’t pull the trigger, you squeeze it.
3. You have to be relaxed or your aim will suffer. Tense + Kick = hot casing hitting you in the face and also you were afraid of the kick and adjusted before you even pulled the trigger and oops now you missed and ow that casing hit your face AND IT HURT
4. Every gun fires differently. You need years of practice with YOUR GUN to be comfortable with it, and someone else shooting with your gun will throw off their aim UNLESS they have practiced for YEARS WITH all the guns.
5. It is kind of as simple as point and shoot but it is also so much not
6. GUNS ARE SO LOUD. So loud. even with ear protection they are so so so loud.
7. It looks cool to dual wield pistols but that is NOT a beginner thing please go try it with BB Guns or something first aiming would be so so so hard
8. Most handguns only have around 15 rounds and if they jam you’re in trouble and unjamming a gun is such a problem and not that easy and it takes a heck of a lot of strength to actually even load a gun
9. Seriously, look up how to load a magazine. The grip strength and thumb strength you’ll need are crazy.
10. Ammo is expensive, and each type of gun takes a different kind of ammo/has a different kind of bullet
11. THERE ARE SO MANY KINDS OF BULLETS dang son and each one does a different thing hollow point vs buck shot they’re very different. So very very different.
12. I mentioned you’d get burned by guns because of how hot they are but like, you’ll also get burned by the bullet if you get shot??? Like that will hurt in more ways than one it’s more than just piercing damage okay?
13. Guns are heavy. Hand guns are heavy. Rifles are even heavier. I haven’t shot a shotgun but I imagine it’s as heavy at least as a rifle. Any character you have constantly carrying guns or using them should also be regularly at the gym lifting weights
Anyway.
Guns are often written incorrectly.
I’m sure there’s more and I am by no means a gun expert, so double check any and all of this please.
But in case you were wondering, here are some chaotic gun facts to help you write your crime/suspense stories.

Reblog if you believe Tumblr should add the aroace colors to the aroace hastag. Make this a trend to get their attention
Hell yeah!
Every url that reblog’s will be written in a book and shown to my homophobic dad.
reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something
