Hello Again Zukka Nation

Diogenes gets into a heated argument with Tolkien over his fantasy races because despite the fact that hobbits, elves, and dwarves are all featherless bipeds Tolkien insists that they are not Men

My therapist just told me my problem is that I need to write more fanfiction.

doodle redraw for Oboro’s birthday, my bby <3

random Sailor Moon idea, Oboro as Artemis, Shouta as Luna and Eri as Diana :)

writers:

break up your paragraphs. big paragraphs are scary, your readers will get scared

fuuuuck epithets. “the other man got up” “the taller woman sat down” “the blonde walked away” nahhh. call them by their names or rework the sentence. you can do so much better than this (exception: if the reader doesn’t know the character(s) you’re referring to yet, it’s a-okay to refer to them by an identifying trait)

blunette is not a thing

new speaker, new paragraph. please.

“said” is such a great word. use it. make sweet love to it. but don’t kill it

use “said” more than you use synonyms for it. that way the use of synonyms gets more exciting. getting a sudden description of how a character is saying something (screaming, mumbling, sighing) is more interesting that way.

if your summary says “I suck at summaries” or “story better than summary” you’re turning off the reader, my dude. your summary is supposed to be your hook. you gotta own it, just like you’re gonna own the story they’re about to read

follow long sentences w short ones and short ones w long ones. same goes for paragraphs

your writing is always better than you think it is. you just think it’s bad because the story’s always gonna be predicable to the one who’s writing it

i love u guys keep on trucking

Beautiful.

First of all I apologize for the super long scroll u guys had to go through haha, and if u guys did read it thank you! I noticed I haven’t made any fanart with the Gaang all together so I decided to change that..It’s been a while since I did layout so this was a lot of fun to do.  I wrote this as a character study for my faves, but I’m really just projecting because I miss spending time with my friends irl. I’ve been reminiscing all the shenanigans  we got into before quarantine.

This is my first time writing a fic and I’m kinda proud with how it turned out. Big thank you for @lilith-the-first​ for being my beta reader and salvaging this fic omg. She fixed the grammar and made it  coherent  so now looks less like it was written at 3 am haha.

also my gallery:

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

MIC AND SOME PRO HERO FRIENDSSS✨️✨️

Dear people living on your own for the first time:

Here’s some advice I wasn’t told from the myriad of posts before that I wish I’d been given before

Wash the OUTSIDE of your pots and pans as well as the cooking surface. I’ve had a few roommates now who have only cleaned the inside and I’ve had to replace a $150 set of cookware twice.

“its only one time, how bad could using metal on nonstick cookware really be?” very bad. don’t do this.

Buy a rice cooker. Buy the middle tier rice cooker. Cheap ones will burn your rice, high tier ones are too expensive. Rice is good and cheap and, really, you don’t actually have to wash it if you don’t care about making gourmet food.

Buy band-aids. You don’t think you need band-ads until you need a band-aid, and by then it’s too late. (if you don’t follow this advice, a paper towel and some tape is an acceptable solution while you go get real bandages and neosporin)

You are on tumblr, which means you probably spend most of your time in one spot on a computer or phone. if this spot doesn’t have a trash can in arm’s reach, put one there.

 I spent 4 years piling trash on my desk in increasingly precarious ways until I had a designated area to put it. Trash cans can and should go anywhere there is a frequent generation of trash, typical locations be damned.

If you live with one or two roommates, discuss placing empty boxes in the back of your fridge and freezer. You probably don’t need all the space that the standard 5-person-family fridge provides, and tupperware will be shoved back there and left to stink up the entire appliance.

Get a wall calendar, put it somewhere communal, and have everyone put their household-relevant schedules on it. Communication is by far the weakest link with roommates (even good ones!) and having something to reference for appointments is always good

finally finished this painting i sketched out months ago… please click for better quality i know tumblr is gonna kill it (reference used)
