One of my favorite phrases my Creative Writing professor had for when you’re writing fantasy is ‘giving your story a Flux Capacitor’.

Because it’s not real, it doesn’t exist. But the way it’s thrown into Back to the Future, at no point does it throw the audience off or suspend any more disbelief than time travel would. You believe Doc when he says he created the Flux Capacitor - the thing that makes time travel possible, because the universe never questions him. 

So it essentially means like, there are going to be elements to your universe that are just not gonna make any sense, even if you set up a whole system based on it. And the only way to make it work is completely own it. You cannot second-guess your system or else the reader will too. You can give it the strangest explanation, but write it like you own it.

This cat is so, so friendly and stoked to be there, though! Look at all the leaning and rubbing on people and things, the upright question mark tail; this is a very cuddly cat who wants attention, lmao. 💜

hey I went to Bad At It island and everyone you know was there. yeah turns out you just see the version of them they put forwards in order to not disappoint and in actuality everyone is just trying their best which doesn’t always mean succeeding. yeah you were there as well but it’s ok because you’re surrounded by your friends and loved ones and if you take a moment you’ll realise we are all flawed by nature but we are all full of love for one another and that matters more than any skill or success or achievement.

Op why were you at Bad At It Island???

I’m making an incredulous expression at you

I read this post wrong. I am also on the island. I have made a sandcastle and buried my whole head inside its gates.

I am decorating your sandcastle with shells and putting leaf flags on every turret

Golden Target Tortoise Beetle

LITTLE PEETS

@curlicuecal

pat pat pat pat pat pat

People who just think of insects as “creepy crawly” should have to see this and also have to watch until she tries to clean her foot near the end.

Watching any arthropod for any length of time you can plainly see that they’re not mindless automatons. They’re like any conscious animal humans tend to “relate” to but in a funny little spacesuit.

tortoise beetles are LITERALLY the cutest fucking shit

it’s insane to me that people get so mad at animals for doing animal stuff. people will post 4 paragraph Facebook rants about a killdeer nesting in their gravel and include pics of the bird taking care of their nest with 0 idea that they’re like, occupying an Important Driveway. they’re just being little dudes and you’re seething

imagine running a bird themed blog and not knowing a single fucking thing about bird intelligence

are you okay

holy shit. i just looked and this is the only post on the blog. they made it just about this. i am working on a formal apology to killdeer stat

obviously killdeer are smart, this one just made a tumblr blog

with some of the posts you see on here I don’t think signing up for tumblr is a good measure of intelligence
