soooo a while back i did that headcanon post and DID I NOT SAY that if Mr. Burns and Smithers lived together that Burnsie would be a total slob and Smithers would be picking up after him all the time??? did i call it or what? (also i can’t help but giggle at the idea of Mr. Burns sitting around Smithers’s apartment watching TV in his underwear XD)

no you don't understand. I can't write the scene yet. I must daydream about it morning and night for at least a week before it can be written. Like a fine wine, it has to age

I compare these two scenes when trying to explain why the early episodes feel different than modern episodes. Characters were allowed to feel without it being turned into a joke. Early seasons touched the heart in a way modern seasons don't.

I enjoy some modern episodes, some are good, and make you feel, but it's not the same and I don't think it ever will be.

@gaboomedina esto es como que lo hablábamos, un poco…?

things you can say instead of "I'm bad at writing" or "my writing sucks"

What's wrong with saying those things? First of all, you're insulting yourself and you don't deserve that ❤️ Second of all, those statements aren't going to get you any kind of reassurance in response. The only thing anyone can really say is "no, you're/it's not" - and that will almost certainly just sound patronizing to you when you're in a funk.

Focus in on your actual feelings and thoughts instead of dumping it all under the umbrella of "bad." Even if you're only talking to yourself, you'll get a better understanding of what's actually happening and a more realistic impression of yourself and your work.

Feel free to add more examples in the notes. And please remember that you don't suck at writing and your writing isn't bad. You're just being your own harshest critic. ❤️

Too often, there's this idea that you have to hate a thing to see it accurately, and that if you don't hate what you make, you can't improve. This is, quite simply, wrong. It's true that if you think something you make is PERFECT, then you're unlikely to improve; however, there is a vast VAST span between "it's perfect" and "it's garbage". Don't get trapped by false dichotomy.

Beyond that, and even without considering its harmful effects on you, "this is garbage" can't help you improve because it doesn't say what's actually wrong. And "everything's wrong with it" is factually incorrect; for something to register as even a very poorly-done story, it still needs to register as a STORY, which means you successfully put words together in a manner that can be parsed. If a character's choice of action doesn't make sense, then that means you'd constructed a narrative where it's possible for a choice of action to make sense.

When you've identified the biggest problem, or the one that annoys you the most, then you can work on fixing it; but that requires IDENTIFYING a problem, which "the whole thing sucks" does NOT do.

One other thing I'll note, though. Sometimes you don't have the energy to go through a thing and figure out exactly WHAT is wrong with it; that's okay. You don't have to have everything figured out immediately; or ever, necessarily, if you decide to move on to something different. It's not like your options are limited to thinking "the whole thing sucks" or "there's an issue with X, Y, and Z, and I know exactly how to go about fixing it"; sometimes the accurate answer is "I don't like how this turned out but I don't know what the problem is", or "this turned out in such a way that I don't want to think about it again". Uncertainty is part of the human condition; so is embarrassment. You're not "uniquely incapable" when you experience something that all of us are prone to.

Fun Fact #1: I studied aquatic entomology in college, so I'm knowledgeable (and fond) of insects. My dream job would be in the field of entomology, but for now I just look them up on the internet and draw them. Here are some bug versions of a couple Simpsons lads along with three reasons I chose that insect for them.

Fun Fact #2: If you ever want to come up with wardrobe ideas for Moe, all you need to do is go to a random episode of On Cinema at the Cinema and pick any random Gregg Turkington fit. It has a 100% success rate so far.

Burns and Smithers in the end credits of Bobby, It's Cold Outside

Mr Burns thinks that he's being robbed by paying 3$ in taxes a year, but has no problem just randomly burning money for no reason at all.

But... I mean... cute date idea?

And also The Look he is giving to Waylon...

do you think when smithers bathes burns he looks at it or averts his gaze

Oh, he looks.

What you mean he averts his gaze?

let this be the year that you stop using your school (or employer) email address for your AO3 account

As you can see, creating a free email account with a different provider is probably a good idea for a lot of reasons unrelated to AO3, too. It might seem annoying, but it’s worth it. 

If you need instructions for how to change your account’s email address, here you go!

what did he mean by this. And was it sexual.
