♉/27/he him/Welcome to my blug, I'm Bee and I mostly rebagel whatever I like. I will hornypost sometimes. Real Professor Elm cilantro tastes like soap hours
Daily reminder that steven universe is a pretty good show, and if you honest to god think calling Rebecca Sugar, a nonbinary Jewish person, a nazi/nazi sympathyzer, then I think you suck a good amount!
Like now that I am awake I need to reiterate how huge this is. It was presumed harvested to extinction by the Romans. It was a favorite flavoring and according to historians one of the best contraceptives ever known. True or not it would be fantastic to study that but it being extinct made that impossible.
This is such a huge deal! I hope they get it figured how to grow it.
Quick help what do you call this character archetype and do y'all have anymore examples?
me topé esto hoy en mi facultad . pense que el mame de gaturro nomas lo traían los argentinos pero estoy en el norte de mexico jajajsjsj me encantó la mafaldita q dibujaron
translated into english: “this is gaturro. his mere existence is pointless vandali(ze him)”
fascinated by the negative spaces in pink diamond/rose quartz’s characterization. we only get her through others’ perceptions and memories, we never get her explaining herself, the only message left directly by her is the videotape for steven. we don’t hear her motives, her feelings, her regrets, we (via steven) just hear how her life was remembered by those who knew her and have to try and patchwork her together. almost all character progression on the show happens when someone finally stops and opens up about why they are the way they are so it can be empathized with and fixed, but rose never got that chance, it seems that she did most of her processing in private before eventually going out on her own terms. there’s a lot that I think can be easily inferred, but we can never be certain.
it’s been said before and it will be said again but i’m begging you all nicely to restrain yourselves from being so casually aggressive and rude and obnoxious in the tags & reblogs of a complete stranger’s posts. no one wants to know that you hate [tv show that op giffed]. no one wants to know that you hate [character that op drew]. no one wants to hear you being ugly and negative for no reason. say what you want to say in your own post. don’t hit the reblog button. blacklist relevant tags. unfollow or block relevant accounts. log out. shut down. get help.
i’ve been doing my homework on how to break into a writing career and honestly. there’s a Lot that i didn’t know about thats critical to a writing career in this day and age, and on the one hand, its understandable because we’re experiencing a massive cultural shift, but on the other hand, writers who do not have formal training in school or don’t have the connections to learn more via social osmosis end up extremely out of loop and working at a disadvantage.
like, i didnt know about twitter pitch parties!! i didnt know about literary agents and publishers tweeting their manuscript wishlist, in hopes that some poor soul out there has written the book they really want to read and publish!! this isnt some shit you learn about in school! you really need to know the ins and outs of the writing community to be successful!
for anyone interested, here’s what i’ve learned so far in my quest for more writing knowledge:
1. Writer’s Market 2019 is a great place to start– it gives you a list of magazines and journals that you can send your work to depending on the genre as well as lists a shit ton of literary agents that specify what genres they represent, how you can get in contact with them and how they accept query letters. this is a book that updates every year and tbh i only bought it this year so i dont know how critical it is to have an updated version
2. do your research. mostly on literary agents because if you listed on your site that you like to represent fluffy YA novels and some asshole sends you a 80k manuscript about like…gritty viking culture, you will be severely pissed off. always go in finding someone who you know will actually like your work because they’re the ones who will try to advocate for you in getting published.
3. learn how to write a query letter. there are slightly varying formulas to how you can write an effective query letter. you’re also going to want to get feedback on your query letter because its the first thing the literary agent will read and based on how well you do it, it could be the difference between them rejecting you outright and giving your manuscript a quick read
4. unfortunately, you’re gonna want to get a twitter. Twitter is where a lot of literary agents are nowadays, and they host things like twitter pitch parties, where you pitch your manuscript in a few sentences and hashtag it with #Pitmad #Pitdark, some version of pit. a lot of literary agents and publishers will ALSO post their manuscript wishlists, which is just the kind of books they’d like to represent/publish, and they hashtag this with #MSWL (it is NOT for writers to use, only for agents/publishers)
5. connect with other writers, literary agents, publishers at book events. you will absolutely need the connections if you want to get ahead as a writer. thats just kind of the state of the world.
