horse people are weird
Hey, to you sci-fi/fantasy writers out there (and maybe some others, but this is mainly for things that can’t really be researched irl), if you want to write a character who is a driven, passionate expert on something, don’t write about them rambling indifferently about some boring, mundane part of it. Give them a deep, intense hatred of some oddly specific wow-I-did-not-even-know-that-was-a-thing-and-it-would-have-never-occurred-to-me-that-it’s-a-bad-thing thing they’ll gladly rant about.
Write a dragon rider who really fucking hates it when a dragon is trained to bow while being reined. A space ship engineer who is pissed off when perfectly good antimatter ship has been adapted to run on neutral matter. A historian who is still not over the massive failures of a general who lost a specific battle 300 years before she was born.
The guy currently giving us a series of lectures on the restoration of historical buildings really, really hates polymer paint. At the artisan school our stained glass teacher really hated this one specific Belgian artist - we never really figured out what did that guy even do, but he’s been dead for over 200 years and our teacher was glad that at least he’s dead.
Experts don’t just know things you’ve never thought about. They’ve got strong opinions about it.
270 Korean Surnames + Meanings
– Below the cut are approx. 270 Korean surnames + their hanja / Sino Korean writing + their meanings – Some names have multiple hanja equivalents, in this case I included all of them – The majority of Korean given names are based on hanja as well, so you can use this list when creating OCs/KRPs – On the other hand, you can’t really to determine the meaning of the name of non-fictional individuals, since this list doesn’t cover each hanja character and Korean names not based on Sino Korean – Please like or reblog if you find it useful ♥ G 가 (Ga) 賈 - Buy, tradesman 간 (Gan) 簡 - brevity, simplicity 갈 (Gal) 葛 - edible bean 감 (Gam) 甘 - sweetness, sweet, tasty 강 (Gang) 剛 - hard, rigid, strong

⤹ i am mainly writing for jjk right now, though you may see me sometimes write for yakuza/like a dragon and undead unluck . my writings are typically very self-indulgent, though i try to make them as inclusive as possible for others to read . ⤹ i luvv dark content !! most of my works on this blog will contain such and will be tagged accordingly . ⤹ a lot of motivation for me to write will be ideas from... you !! don't be afraid to shoot an ask my way if you have any ideas . ♡ ⤹ i don't have many characters on my masterlist, so if there's a character you have an ask about, i'll probably write it depending on who it is, excluding minors . if i don't want to write that character, i'll most likely just not answer your ask . ⤹ i consider myself a slow writer . though, if i take a while to get to an ask, that doesn't mean i don't want to write it ! i'm probably just brainstorming ;P .

Alcohol tips for newbie writers (or non drinkers!):
At bars, people who order “chasers” after their shots are ordering something to wash down the taste of their shot with. This can be juice, soda, more alcohol, or even pickle juice
Hard liquor is generally sold in stores as shots (tiny bottles), fifths, liters, and handles or in ml (50, 100, 200 etc)
Most people can’t finish an entire fifth of hard liquor (vodka, etc) on their own without being very ill
Conversely, many people can finish an entire bottle of wine on their own without being ill
Liquor can be “bottom shelf” or “rail” or “well” – all synonyms for the cheapest version of alcohol a bartender has. Bars generally keep several “levels” of alcohol stocked
You order a drink with the alcohol first, then the mix – e.g., a “vodka soda” or a “Tito’s and tonic”
When you “close out a tab”, you pay for all of the drinks you’ve had that night. Either the bartender already has your card (you “opened a tab” earlier) or it was quiet enough that they just kept an eye on you and tallied your bill up at the end
“Doubles” are drinks or shots with double the standard pour of alcohol
In the US, most shots (pours) are 1.5 oz by default.
Mixed drinks (gin and tonic, vodka lemonade, cosmos, etc) are generally made up of 1-2 shots and a mixer
If you don’t specify which type of alcohol you’d like in a mixed drink (vodka cranberry, for example) the bartender will put whatever the “house” liquor is – and this depends entirely on the establishment. A dive bar will pour rail by default, whereas a nicer tavern might make all vodka cranberries with Tito’s
PLEASE TIP YOUR BARTENDERS THEY WILL REMEMBER YOU I PROMISE
