I Really Love It When People Here Are Not Normal About The Things They Love. Yes!! Break Down The Scene

i really love it when people here are “not normal” about the things they love. yes!! break down the scene that you’ve been obsessing over for weeks! create incredibly intricate theories based on a few throwaway lines! explain why you love this character so much—458 reasons and counting, and with visual aids! i love to see people putting their heart and soul into not being normal!!!

For writing purposes (and mine own curiosity) what do you think Truth (FMA/B) is?

I think Truth is simultaneously a contradiction and not. It explains that It is All and One, the Universe, God, You, Me, Itself, and Everything. My mind takes that a bit further.

In my mind, Truth is All and Nothing, Black and White, Good and Evil, Space and Time, Everywhere and Nowhere, Me and You and Itself while also not being Anything but also being Everything.

Truth is a not-being that is All Powerful and yet completely Powerless. It represents humans' wants and fears.

Truth is All. Truth is Nothing.

Truth is the law all humans abide by, but It is also the law all humans ignore.

Writing for me, not for you🖤

Whoever needs to hear this. Please know.

"Closed at 6pm" does not mean "The entry door locks up at 6, but if you're already inside you can keep on shopping."

It means, "you should be finished and out of the store at 6pm."

This is not up for debate

This is just how things work

I have NO CHILL so when I saw this T-Shirt I had to draw MetalhEd in it IMMEDIATELY. The Edward Elric shirt of all time.

fanfic writers, here’s a friendly reminder that you are not less of a writer if you haven’t posted anything in years, you are not less of a writer if your works aren’t as popular as other writers’, you are not less of a writer if some trolls left you rude comments (they either just want your attention or are simply intimidated/threatened by your talent), you are not less of a writer if you write short one-shots instead of a 100k novel-length fanfic, you are not less of a writer if you’re not satisfied with your writing (I promise you it’s so much better than you think, you should be proud of yourself), you are not less of a writer if you’re not comfortable posting any of your works at all.

you are always as valid as any other fellow writers out there.

another reminder: fanfic writing is not a competition, and it’s not a job. don’t put so much pressure on yourself. always remember, the point of writing fanfictions is that we get to have fun, escape reality into the world we create in which we can write anything we want.

it stops being a getaway and a safe place the second we treat writing fanfic as a job or a competition. no, you’re not writing for anybody. you’re writing for you. this world you create is just you and your blorbos. have fun. it’s your getaway.
