I’m Tempted To Say Ash But I Don’t Know. He’s Supposed To Be More Soft But I Love It When The Soft

Welcome to the future, where you don’t own anything and the stuff you rent stops working once your phone has no signal.

Didn’t want to derail the last post I reblogged (about Serbia), so I’m making my own)

! I know only like 8 people follow me but like if 8 people find out about an issue they didnt know about then I think that’s great tbh

OK SO

another country with a heap of problems right now is Belarus. I’ve reblogged posts about it before and yes I’m refusing to stop cause I see nothing about it anywhere.

Belarus has had the same president since 1994. Since he came into power, the country hasn’t had a SINGLE FAIR ELECTION.

Covid-19 has caused many problems there. The country still hasn’t imposed any official measures. The president has been quoted as saying ‘I don’t see any viruses here’ and the country has had horrendous amounts of cases, I’m not even sure if the figures are accurate, they could be fabricated.

There is an election this year. Protests broke out in Belarus because of the imprisonment of the president’s strongest competitors in the election. Random people have been arrested off the streets and the police have been violent.

The worst part is that there’s very little media coverage.

Please reblog this, or at least research the topic it would mean a LOT

Apps For Writers I Wish I Had

So, as a writer who’s more lazy than my cats, I spend many a sleepless night thinking up apps for me to use to make the process much easier. These are a few of those. 

One: A app where you can enter a name and click ‘search’ and it will tell you if it’s okay to use in a project. You can specify wether it’s a person name, an establishment name, a place name, etc. to refine your search.  A possible name would be ‘Name Check’ or some variant.  Two: a face claim app. You can specify the basics of your character and it will pull up pictures/face claims matching the description. Eg. ‘hazel eyes’ ‘black hair’ ‘male’ ‘freckles’ and so on getting more and more specific. 

Three: an app for job research. You type in the job you have for your character and it pulls up real life accounts of people with that job. It would explain what the basics are, day to day routine, schooling necessary, hazards, time, etc. Note that this only applies to real life jobs, not fantasy

Four: a music app. You give the browser the themes, feelings, etc. of your project and it pulls up music that fits that. Also can define by genre. Also applicable for characters. 

Five: kind of goes along with face claim. A scene reference app. You give the feeling, genre, what you know about it, etc. and it pulls up pictures that match that for you to reference. To see it in front of you. 

Six: This one is sort of like three. Need to write a scene you’ve never experienced? This gives you kind of like a guideline Do’s and Don’ts, if you will. Someone who’s experienced it explains(to the best of their abilities) what they were feeling. You have to know your character well enough to change those feelings to fit your character.  Not for fantasy.   Seven: Character name checking. It’s a fucking pain to have to figure out if this awesome name is available to use in a book or anything that’s going to be written by you. With this, all you have to do is type in the name and if it turns green, it’s safe to use. 

ALSO! do you know how many fuckers have fucking cheated on their partners? A fuck load. You know this right? It’s not some great, mystical feat. He didn’t fuck a unicorn. Unlike Katherine the Great. I’m sorry that was a bad history joke. Or, I think it was funny. You’d get it if you weren’t an idiot. Are you an idiot? Oh right, you are. We covered this in my last one of these, didn’t we? I thought me did. Well, let me restate this. You’re an idiot.  you’re  welcome. Have a nice fucking day.

YOU KNOW WHAT BOTHERS ME

when fantasy books describe the cloth of Quant Farmpeople’s clothing as “homespun” or “rough homespun”

“homespun” as opposed to what??? EVERYTHING WAS SPUN AT HOME

they didn’t have fucking spinning factories, your pseudo-medieval farmwife is lucky if she has a fucking spinning wheel, otherwise she’s spinning every single thread her family wears on a drop spindle NO ONE ELSE WAS DOING THE SPINNING unless you go out of your way to establish a certain baseline of industrialization in your fake medieval fantasy land.

and “rough”??? lol just because it’s farm clothes? bitch cloth was valuable as fuck because of the labor involved ain’t no self-respecting woman gonna waste fiber and ALL THAT FUCKING TIME spinning shitty yarn to weave into shitty cloth she’s gonna make GOOD QUALITY SHIT for her family, and considering that women were doing fiber prep/spinning/weaving for like 80% of their waking time up until very recently in world history, literally every woman has the skills necessary to produce some TERRIFYINGLY GOOD QUALITY THREADS

come to think of it i’ve never read a fantasy novel that talks about textile production at all??? like it’s even worse than the “where are all the farms” problem like where are people getting the cloth if no one’s doing the spinning and weaving??? kmart???

Don’t know if anyone remembers this, but Alexander Hamilton was a real person. A pretty amazing person, if you ask me. And, that’s was one bloody time and then there was the whole mess with he Reynolds Pamphlet…He made a mistake, he owned up to it, didn’t try to make too many excuses(’it was an accident!’ ‘i swear, it just happened!’ ‘It all happened so fast!’ ‘i swear I didn’t mean it!’ ‘i love you!’ Etc).   Do you want me to rant about John Laurens right now? I will, that way you won’t be able to use him against my argument. Which would be idiocy and I hope you aren’t an idiot.
