Heya!

I'm still not feeling great, so I'm going to keep this one on the shorter side.

Thursdays are recommendation days! I'm not getting any commissions or affiliate stuff for anything I recommend (yet, maybe one day? I'll be sure to let you know if I do), but I do own a few of the things I want to share with you (as in, I bought them myself and I'd happily buy it again).

I have so many favorite things that help me write and be creative that it was hard to narrow them down to which one should be first, but ...

Vulgarlang

I love this website so flipping much! (I own the pro version)

I love language and I think I started my first constructed language (conlang) when I was 13 or so? There's just so much you can tell about a culture (and sub cultures! and individuals!) based on the words they use the most and what their slang is based off of and what they use to emphasize love and hate!

Vulgarlang is a site that generates constructed languages for you. The free/demo version (should be the page the link takes you to) gives you 200 words, which I think are picked at random. They have a basic paid version ($15 USD) that gives 2000 words and a pro paid version ($20 USD) that gives 4000 words, and yes, there's a way to make your language have more science fiction vocabulary or more fantasy type vocabulary! (just clarifying, sci Fi vocab is in the paid, pro version)

Ok, ok, I need to calm down, I've just had to undo about four paragraphs describing what this site does in detail. The short version (bc it's worth checking out for yourself):

It includes IPA pronunciations (which means you get an accurate/neutral example of how each letter sounds)

You get unlimited languages

You get full creative license to each language you generate (to use, not to sell)

Each language generates with is own grammar and phonology (for those of us that are into that)

You even get to use a tool they call Atlas, that helps you make auxiliary languages (which I think is like French is to Latin? But you need at least 2 languages to start)

Please go check it out, even if just for the free version, because there's no better way to add some subtle, yet powerful flavor to your world than to have your own private list of words that no one else has, to use as names for people and places and cuss words and anything else that can't be accurately described in "the common tongue".

That's it for today, folks! I'll post again later, but, until then, you take care!

Dude I freaking loved my little pony. And I finally figured out why. It was good. The philosophies of the show were "friendship equals good," and I love that. That simple philosophy of this thing even if it isn't easy to execute is simply good. That kindness is not a shade of gray, it is good. That goodness isn't a shade of gray, it is white.

I think that one of the reasons The Lord of the Rings still holds up, in my mind at least, is that it still used the whole “make a miniature version of the set piece” school of filming.

Like Isengard:

I Think That One Of The Reasons The Lord Of The Rings Still Holds Up, In My Mind At Least, Is That It

Minas Tirith:

I Think That One Of The Reasons The Lord Of The Rings Still Holds Up, In My Mind At Least, Is That It

Helm’s Deep:

I Think That One Of The Reasons The Lord Of The Rings Still Holds Up, In My Mind At Least, Is That It

Osgiliath:

I Think That One Of The Reasons The Lord Of The Rings Still Holds Up, In My Mind At Least, Is That It

Like… that’s shit is just cool.

Yes, yes, thank you so much! What an absolutely lovely read, this is exactly what I need. Thank you so much.

Danny, ghost king and therapist

So I was supposed to post this on Ao3 but it isn't complete enough for that, so here you go! You're welcome to take this and make it longer. Please tag me if you do though, I'd love to read it.

Danny had expected a lot of things when he was crowned Ghost King.

He had expected paperwork, he had expected learning a lot of new things and having to break up fights between kingdoms.

He had expected fighting to go down by a lot due to his new laws, and he had expected a lot of hate for being half-human.

He had not expected to have to schedule times where Ghosts were allowed to bother him in school for therapy sessions and relationship advice.

But now he was seriously thinking about it.

Ember was standing right there, in front of every one of his classmates, and she was crying.

She was bawling actually, and she kept going, one hand on the teacher’s desk as she continued to sob.

“What do we do?” Danny heard someone whisper, and not for the first time in that class he wished Tucker and Sam were there.

“Danny!” Ember finally shouted, and every single person in the class snapped their heads towards him, he felt himself sink further into his chair without thinking about it.

“Yeah?” he managed to weakly say, looking at Mr Lancers direction.

“You’re the king, can’t you like, I don’t know, banish him?” she asked, wobbling over to his desk before falling over it and grabbing both of his hands.

He looked at her wide-eyed.

What was he supposed to do now? Clearly, everyone had heard her, and it wasn’t like he could pretend she was wrong! She was clearly distressed and in need of someone, so, with a sigh, Danny resigned himself to his fate.

He pat her hair, making soft shushing noises.

“What did Skulker do this time?” he asked with a sigh, growing increasingly uncomfortable with the looks his classmates were giving him.

“He-” she stopped herself, as another sob wrecked its way through her body.

“It’s okay Ember, take your time,” he said.

Paulina and Star were staring at him with wide eyes, and he could feel Dash glaring at him, this was going to be fun to explain.

“He hasn’t texted me back for ten days! And I know it’s cause of that stupid hunt, why you even allowed for it I’ll never know, but, I’m important too, you know?” she looked at him, her eyes filled with so much sadness he almost forgot about the fact that she had appeared at school and ruined his cover.

The hunt was a small gathering Danny had let take place, it was supposed to last for a couple days where he had made some ectoplasm animals that they were allowed to hunt for sport, it was to breed comradery with a bit of friendly competition, it would also serve as to take off the edge for some of the more blood-thirsty ghosts as he continued to work on the new legislation that was supposed to make it illegal for ghosts to attack humans at night.

“It was supposed to be over days ago, why are they still continuing?” Danny frowned, he had made it so it would last three days max, how were they still not done?

“What do you mean? He said it would take at least a month.” Ember frowned as well, and for a second they just looked at each other, confused.

Then she started sobbing again, “He lied to me!?” she shouted in between her sobs, clinging on to Danny as she used his shirt as a tissue.

“It’s okay Ember, he doesn’t deserve you anyway,” he said, sounding like he really meant it.

Paulina came up behind Danny, and for a second he tensed, ready to take a hit or start a fight to protect her, but all Paulina did was bring a chair and drape herself over Ember as she muttered reaffirming words.

“Danny’s right,” Star said, coming up behind him, “Skulker doesn’t deserve you, you are beautiful and talented and you have the greatest voice I have ever heard! He should be so lucky as to have you,” she said, crossing her arms.

“I’ll speak to him about this, but I can’t just… banish him,” Danny said, trying to give her a smile that made her feel better.

She pouted, clearly not happy, but she definitely felt better now than she had when she first entered the classroom.

So, nodding, she flew away and back to the Ghost Zone.

Danny sighed, leaning back in his chair as he rolled his shoulders, great, another thing to do on top of his already busy schedule.

“Care to explain?” Paulina asked, eying him up.

“Not really, no,” Danny said with a shrug, and then the class continued, like nothing had ever happened.

Kinda.

The next time it happened, he was alone again, Sam was in another class and Tucker was sick, so Danny was left to deal with it alone.

Great.

“Tell Ember, that she can’t just keep running to you every time we fight,” Skulker said, crossing his arms as he floated above everyone in the science class.

Great.

“Should’ve thought of that before you lied to her!” Paulina shouted at him, and Danny smiled, happy that his classmates were defending his people.

“Quiet missy,” Skulker sneered, clearly unhappy with having a human yell at him.

“She’s right, you know.” Danny levelled him with a glare, “Why did you lie to her?”

Skulker, to his credit, did look guilty.

“I just wanted a chance to hang out with my boys,” he murmured, looking almost sheepish.

“You could have done that without the lying,” Danny pointed out, earning murmurs of agreement, especially from the female students.

“She always gets so annoyed when I start asking to hang out with my friends, this was much easier.” he shrugged, all of his sheepishness vanishing.

“You still should’ve told the truth, the reason you guys keep breaking up is because of your abysmal communication skills,” Danny said, crossing his arms, “And you shouldn’t have used the hunt to excuse it, now I might just not make a new one, this could’ve been a yearly thing you know, now, I’m not so sure,” Danny said, casually shrugging as he glared at Skulker.

“I didn’t do anything!” he said, sounding like he genuinely believed he didn’t do anything.

“I get that you want to be with your friends, but you have to be honest with her about that.” Danny shrugged, looking at Skulker one last time before waving him away.

He left with a sigh.
