Something neuroscience-y that helps with prose: attention is selective. A character will not notice everything in a room. They will notice what matters to their goal, fear, desire, training, wound, or obsession. A jealous character notices hands. a hungry character notices food. A soldier notices exits. A lonely character notices pairs. Description becomes character when attention has a bias.
I've been chipping away at more pipes and drift angst this week and this is gonna destroy me
he'd make sure it hurt (1665 words) by lowqualitydriftjpg Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Transformers (IDW Generation One), Transformers - All Media Types Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Major Character Death Relationships: Drift | Deadlock & Pipes Characters: Drift | Deadlock Additional Tags: Angst, Grief/Mourning, Hurt No Comfort, brief descriptions of violence, we've got a hot steaming plate of self destructive bitches in here, and by bitches I mean drift Summary: Drift didn't see Pipes die. And maybe in a way, that was worse.
how much banger fanwork has been killed in its infancy due to the 40-hour workweek. Do you know how many absolutely rockin comics live only in my head because I don't have time or arm ability left to draw them. As well as weird original comics
Good things will happen in September
Thank Republicans for blueberries that can kill you
So... I found this and now it keeps coming to mind. You hear about "life-changing writing advice" all the time and usually its really not—but honestly this is it man.
I'm going to try it.
I love the lawyer metaphor, because whenever I see “John knew that...” in prose writing I immediately think “how? How does he know it?” Interrogate your witnesses. Cross-examine them. Make them explain their reasoning. It pays dividends.

she’s so beautiful frfr
watching a scene with a fav character can be so humiliating sometimes. like yes i'm watching this scene with this character because i want to see the character. yes i've paused it multiple times because i got too excited. before the character fully entered the screen even. guhhhh
Would you come with me into the unknown?
The portal that appears in MTMTE #21 is one of the pieces of foreshadowing that ultimately points toward the ending of the story, so I wanted to use it as a starting point—to return to where the dream began.
In my interpretation, skids reaches out her hand and invites rung to step through the portal with her, driven by curiosity as well as her fondness for rung. Rung, caught off guard by the invitation, is both surprised and delighted, with just a hint of shyness.
Although they are still inside the ship, in this moment it feels as though the entire universe, and everything unknown beyond it, is contained within the portal before them. If parallel universes really exist, I wish skids and rung could step through that wall of light together, and find their way to a happy time, even if only for a fleeting singularity.
had to share this
In every way this is set up to be a joke like any other short video, it even uses the trope of main character in a wig to represent their mom, but it isn't funny at all. It's just sweet and nice
