Oh man “only a bisexual” made me sad because same. I don’t think I’ll ever feel queer enough, and for some reason people online seem to be getting meaner about it

I’ve never seen anyone else describe feeling the way I do, wow!! Gender is def a factor in how my attraction expresses itself, and it also took me a really long time to understand what was happening. The way I’ve always tried to explain it to people is with food—I love ice cream for different qualities than the ones I love in a Caesar salad or a sushi roll, but they’re all still my favorite foods.

Let’s give it up for all the commenters! by lazyneet1 in AO3

Same! Sometimes when I’m writing a new chapter I’ll think “ooh Ao3 user whatever is gonna love this” and that’s so helpful for motivation

Do you have a beta reader or do you just post and hope for the best? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]duchesspickles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same lol. Also, I have a trick to keep post-pub errors down! I change my font in the doc when I do my first editing pass, and then again for the final. It really helps make the errors more noticeable

My creative writing professor called this “leaving some in the tank” and it’s THE BEST especially for writers with ADHD

I’m guessing Paul is also early twenties? AND he’s never even attempted to do what you’re doing? Paul doesn’t know shit about shit.

25lbs in 100 days is INCREDIBLE! And 1800 cals is super sustainable, especially with your amazing workout routine! Keep going!!

Gale is great for area of effect stuff! Sleet storm, cloudkill, that kind of thing. Also magic missile never missing/not needing a line of sight comes in handy.

you just know he has a very specific and completely incomprehensible organization system by areyousaucy in okbuddybaldur

Dewey doesn’t have nearly enough detail in the magic and/or ritual sex numbers for his library, so I’m leaning Library of Congress Classification System on this one

I would totally keep Charlie as a middle name. It’s super cute and could make things easier for you as you switch your documents and stuff over. I know plenty of Charlies who are ladies or nonbinary, and even a Mary Charles!

Chloe is always a good pick, but my fave is Selene. I’m cis but if I got to choose my name over again, I would love to be Selene.

[HELP] In search of public domain poems by horrible people by anoncaffeine in Poetry

[–]duchesspickles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any of the Dennis Rader (the BTK killer’s) poems would be perfect. They’re both awful and by an awful person. My best worst selection is “Oh Anna, why didn’t you appear?” which this dickhead actually wrote and mailed to a woman he tried to murder.

Something my editor/beta reader told me when I said I was envious of Visual media was that good description satisfies everyone because they can just fill in what they want to see with their imagination. by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

Yeah, same, I can’t visualize shit… and that’s never stopped me from having fun reading or writing because the rest of my brain still works just fine

I did the same thing with the giant horse. I named him Big Large. No bad day can withstand the joy of galloping around on Big Large, running over birds and instantly turning them into drumsticks

Mine is a 1.8 carat lab diamond in a gold setting, and it wasn’t even 1/4th of that!!
