I love the sense of community on the QSMP. It’s like—
Everyone is so intrinsically connected to one another. Despite the language and cultural differences, there’s a sense of belonging. When there’s events, everyone’s invited, no matter how big or small. Festa Junina? Weddings? Birthdays? Games? People will be there, people that care, and everyone is welcome.
Repeat after me:
The first draft just needs to exist
The second draft needs to be functional
The third draft needs to be effective
Remember, the second and third can't happen if you don't have something to work with. Your first draft will always be shit compared to your third, but at least it exists. The worst first draft is an unfinished one. The best first draft is a just completed one.
You read books/stories not in their first draft form-- only in their finished form (third, fourth, sometimes fifteenth draft). So stop comparing your first draft with a final one.
So, just write--you can make it better later. Perfectionism is the greatest weight a creator can carry.
nothing will change your perspective on a character like someone who is batshit obsessed with them
I wish I could shake every aro person who's sad that they'll never be the most important person in anyone's life by the shoulders THERE IS HOPE FOR US THERE IS HOPE FOR US THERE IS HOPE FOR US I swear I am living proof that you can absolutely be the human equivalent of fucking sunshine in another person's life with no romance involved but you gotta let them see you first

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Scarecrow fawning over some flowers? Just don’t tell Ivy. I doubt she would be happy about him using them in his experiments.

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.
Just an FYI. The FDA is not allowed to announce any food recalls due to the health communications pause the current administration enacted. You can still find this information by visiting USDA the site directly.
https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls
Here’s the fda link to use to search for recalls, safety alerts, and market withdrawals.

So, while you are making your grocery list, you may want to visit the recalls list since there’s no public communication right now.
“Boy, I thought you were afraid of the mugger. But we found what you were really afraid of, didn’t we Brucie? You’re afraid you disappointed them. You’re afraid you’ve dishonoured them. And you’re right, Brucie. It’s kinda funny when you think about it. Ever since that night in the alley, you’ve been trying to do right by old mom and dad. To be the justice they never got. But get this: your entire life’s work, all it’s done? Is turn you into something your parents could never love.”
