Carrot bacon is a great bacon substitute

No, you don’t, Tom.

DO NOT DO THIS.

This makes me so angry.

If you work in a movie theater and you do this I have no respect for you.

My younger brother is Type 1 Diabetic.

When we go to a movie theater, we always get him diet soda. If he were to get regular when we asked for diet, we would not give him the insulin he would need for it. If that happens, his blood sugar level could go so high he could go into a coma, go blind, or even die.

If somebody gave him regular soda instead of diet without telling us, that person could be responsible for a nine-year-old being killed or blinded.

Just thinking about that makes me so angry. I get scared every time we take him to a movie in case the people working there saw this picture and decide to do the same thing.

Please signal boost this so people know.

So cute 🥺🥺

The Tumblr writing community is dying.

It’s something I’ve noticed over the past two years of using this site. It was gradual, imperceptible at first, something that most would brush off as a silly concern, or fault Tumblr algorithm for. While it’s true that Tumblr’s engine leaves a lot to be desired, I’ve noticed that even popular blogs have started to dwindle in terms of interaction or motivation. There could be a lot of reasons for this, but the biggest two I’ve noticed, experienced myself, and asked fellow writers about is this: (1) content being stolen, and (2) lack of feedback or interaction. I’ve never seen any logical person defend content being stolen, so I want to address point 2 instead.

Lack of feedback and interaction. I’m not saying this on my behalf so much as I’m saying this for friends and smaller blogs who have lost motivation to write. I was looking at my yandere writing blogs list the other day and noticed that a good majority of them no longer write. I usually update the list every few months, and by that point, more and more writers have stopped writing entirely. This isn’t a problem confined solely to the yandere fandom; in fact, there’s less writing blogs in general these days, especially ones that are active. I used to run a very popular BNHA blog with some friends, but that dissolved after our content was stolen and our followers stopped interacting as much. Out of our 8,500 followers, we hardly got 0.015% notes (~128 notes) on an average post. Tumblr is to blame for the lack of eyes seeing our posts, for sure, but that also means that at least 128 people saw one post and didn’t leave a comment or ask. We were considered a big blog; imagine what it’s like on a small blog.

My friend recently made a post that summed this up perfectly: 

“I’ve seen people say “Be grateful that people even lurk on your page.” and, while I get the message they’re trying to say, it’s more dismissive and hurtful in my opinion. Like you’re saying, “Oh your writing is mediocre, you should be grateful people even LOOK at it.”

Me personally? I’ve heard the argument that AO3 is a better place to post fanfics, and while that might be true, I’ve had friends experience firsthand the lack of interaction there too. I’ve heard the argument that interacting with some writers is intimidating (me included). I’ve heard that argument that followers might be too shy to interact. I’ve heard the argument that writers should write for themselves and not for views / likes / reblogs / etc, and while that’s ideal, it’s not sustainable for everyone. What works for one writer won’t work for another, but you know what will? Interaction.

That comment or ask that took you 2 seconds to write? We remember it. That reblog with the compliments in the tags? We remember it. Every single ‘named’ anon we get (heart anon, sunflower anon, etc)? We remember them. And the best part is? It’s actually easier to do these things on Tumblr since you have the option to send anonymous asks or make a sideblog specifically for reblogs! Trust me, whether the lack of interaction is the cause of a lack of motivation or what have you, every writer appreciates feedback (don’t be shy to offer some critique or compliments) or even a simple keyboard smash with some emojis. Even sitting down for 5 min a day per week to comment on your favorite writers’ new pieces makes a huge difference. Personally, since Tumblr’s activity feed is beyond terrible and I have over 1,500 posts, I don’t always see new reblogs or comments on my content; asks though? Always see those, can never go wrong with those. If you don’t want to reblog or leave a comment, then you can never go wrong with an anonymous ask. 

As my wise friend says: writing is an art, and in order to improve that art, we need other people’s eyes to see what we don’t.

For the sake of every writer (past, present, and future) on this platform, please share this post.

Muslims are being held in concentration camps in china please speak up about it and reblog also this is a post on Instagram speaking about it more in depth

words to remember

A list of things that do not make you weak:

Meltdowns/shutdowns

Anxiety attacks/panic attacks

Having triggers

Phases (including finding you identify as something different than you thought with gender/sexuality. The phrase it’s just a phase is bullshit and means nothing)

Mental/physical disabilities

Chronic illnesses

Ptsd

Getting sick

Crying

Emotions

Mental illnesses

Being neurodivergent

Being able-bodied/neurotypical

Being lgbt+

Not being lgbt+

A list of things that do make you weak:

Being an ableist asshole

Being an abusive asshole

Being a transphobic asshole

Being a sexist asshole

Being a racist asshole

Being an lgbt-phobic asshole

Putting other people down because arbitrary reasons

Taking away someone’s identity

This isn’t a full list by any means but if it reassures even one person then it has done more than enough

these are real people who don’t exist for your pleasure.

You are a human before a kpop stan.

Be respectful of situations you dont know fully about and if you're going to question whether someone is being credible with their trauma, either leave them alone or keep in your mind that they could still be telling the truth, no matter how much you dont want it to be true.

We live in a huge world full of uncertian things. I may get shit for it, but personally I've seen enough where I fully understand not just trusting what people say all the time, but at the same time, the coin has two sides. Someone could genuinely be asking for help and support.

Keep that in mind when looking at someone talking about their trauma.

These are so cute 🥺🥺

Workout For Daily Life

This works for creators in general: artists, writers, composers... Thank you for helping people like us get motivated and keep creating things.

⌨ on the topic of writer’s block.

oh, how daring that little cursor is. blinking and blinking in an endless loop, taunting you with plot threads left unanswered. a perfect example of personification, laughing in the face of your hopelessness.

we’ve all dealt with this struggle, us writers. as someone who’s been consuming and creating literature since i could sit upright, i’ve faced the great wall of ennui multiple times on my creative journey, and through my experience i’ve learned how to break it down brick by brick.

in summation, the process of writing can be broken down into two main categories: inspiration and motivation. suffice to say, writer’s block is the lack of either or both of those two things. here, i’ll provide you with my own methods of dealing with this issue, and hopefully they’ll be useful to you!

— if you lack INSPIRATION.

so, you’ve sat down at your computer, opened a fresh document. it’s early afternoon and you’re finally in the mood to write. your typing fingers would be blazing, and you would be at far past 10,000 words by now, if you only knew what to write and how to write it…

read. “yeah, great job, captain obvious,” you say. “never heard that before.” but truly, reading is the best way to find that lost spark. it doesn’t necessarily have to be a piece of traditionally published fiction; in fact, the majority of the time i find fanfiction to be much more useful in this sort of scenario, for multiple reasons (such as work being by a fellow aspiring writer like yourself, driven only by passion and not monetary gain.) read for pleasure or enjoyment, yes, but try to read with an observational eye. what emotions did they evoke here? how was word choice used? what parts did you like? which parts did you dislike, and how could they have improved on that? by reading, you immerse yourself in someone else’s head instead of the one you’ve been stuck in, your own. look at your craft in a different light. see how others are doing.

listen to music. you most likely already enjoy singing along to songs or even playing an instrument of your own, so why not factor that into writing? music is truly amazing as it evokes emotions in a different way than putting pen on paper. soaring notes convey grandness. the minor key is eerie, haunting. it sets the mood and tone, telling a story without explicitly telling a story. i’m sure you’ve stared out a car window with a song playing, melodramatically imagining yourself in a video. capture that same energy and put it into your writing. (you can also study the artist’s lyricism, using the same methodology as listed above!)

watch a movie. no, not a tv show, you can’t put writing off for more than a couple hours, lest you neglect it entirely! movies combine all aspects of creative mediums, from visual artistry to beautiful scores to most importantly, good writing. let yourself get carried away in the story, and find inspiration from the experience. i recommend specifically ghibli movies; the way entire universes are constructed is something to be marveled at, and i’m sure you can get at least a little bit from all the fantastical elements.

exercise. i know, i know. i don’t like doing it either. but getting blood flowing can really help to clear your brain, and i get some of my best ideas from that after-workout haze when i’m just lying on the floor. it helps me think clearer and find that exact word phrase i was looking for!

— if you lack MOTIVATION.

this idea’s been sitting with you for a while. festering, growing, thriving in your headspace. but no matter how many times you’ve shifted around with your blanket and pillows trying to get into a comfortable position, no matter how many times you’ve aimlessly opened tabs just to close them, you just don’t have it in you to write, goddammit. 

switch to a different environment. if you write at a desk, all professional and aesthetically set up, go to your couch. if you write bundled up in bed, shed your blankets and sit on the floor. the stairs, the kitchen table, the corner, a cafe, your car. anywhere than the place you usually write. this puts you out of your comfort zone and essentially tricks your brain into getting out of its slump and stupor.

talk to a fellow writer. let them bounce ideas off you. commiserate over various toils and troubles. they’re in the same boat as you are, so learn from them, and they’ll learn something from you as well. you don’t necessarily even have to talk about writing; tell a story from your childhood, something funny that happened this month, a video you’d like to recommend. conversation stimulates the brain, and it’s healthy for both parties. 

get into a daily habit. set a goal for yourself every single day. it could be 1000 words, it could be a single sentence. just put words down, no matter how terrible. something that’s helped me is the most dangerous writing app, which all but forces you to write non-stop for 5 minutes. if you pause, it deletes it all, which should be motivation enough. over time, you won’t need this app or any app anymore, the only thing fueling you being your own desire to create something.

remind yourself of why you write. do you have eager readers, patiently waiting for the next chapter of your work? has your dream always been to publish your own novel? do you just do it simply because you want to have fun? whatever the case, remind yourself of the reason you started this hobby in the first place. you’re not here for no reason. you were meant to put a story out into the world.

— some final words.

writing is not an easy hobby. above all, it requires discipline, the ability to make something and devote lots of time into making that something the best it can be. it’s tough. it’s troublesome. but just remember: you are the only one that can create the story you’re making. no one else. millions, if not billions of people in this world are literate and can write, but only a select few have the passion, drive, creativity, and talent to build whole universes, whole lives from scratch. and you are the only one that is bringing that particular tale into the world. and when you think no one wants to read it, there is someone out there who will deeply value it, someone out there for whom it’s life-changing. your craft is unique, and you are special for being able to do it. 

i hope you enjoyed this read & that the advice in it served some kind of purpose for you! if this helped you at all, reblog so that others can get helped as well! have a wonderful day, and safe travels on your writing journey :)
