last RB: I had a friend that tried coaching me through manifesting and I hated it so much (we no longer speak for that and many other reasons)

My mother never used the word "manifesting" but she sure did worship the God of lost keys. Every week she had a new faith-promoting anecdote about a Blessing from the Lord such as "perfect blouse at the thrift store, on sale!" or "was given an extra free drink in the drive-thru but then at the corner there was a homeless man" or "needed some ingredients to finish the pie for the neighbor and turns out there was just enough oil in the bottle to the last drop"

it's sad and pathetic how much the obsessive mind rituals (words from last rb) distract people.

remembering when the something awful forums made a word filter that changed the word "females" so it was surrounded by Ferengi emoji (we called em 'smilies' not emoji back in the day) so it looked like this:

because someone was sick of incels using the word to refer to women

Once I was on the phone with my little brother and he asked me if he was a Millennial or just past the cutoff into Elder Gen Z. I said, "Sing me the chorus from 'Torn' by Natalie Imbruglia." He did so effortlessly. I assured him he was a Millennial.

I love fanfic just as much as the next girl, but comparing it to published literature is bonkers, and if you want to improve your writing you have to read a variation of traditionally published literature, not just fanfic. Some people will say that this is an elitist, homophobic and misogynistic claim, but I don’t agree.

Fanfiction is a bit of a bubble in which writers copy each other endlessly. Similar vocabulary, phrases, styles and themes are extremely prevalent because of this. Like if you want to write something unique and different, then you’re gonna have to broaden your horizons a bit.

Another fanfic phenomenon I notice a lot is they tend to crack the character’s head open and examine it with an industrial strength flashlight until every nook and cranny has been explored. They will go into places were the character itself wouldn’t be able to ordinarily go.

This makes it indulgent, but also leaves nothing up to interpretation and all possibly complexity is stamped out.
