I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Redraw of Lan Wangji visiting Lotus Pier 🌅

illustration by nekiwis of lan wangji from hips up based on ye hao in ‘heat stroke’ photographed by wintam for gq china june. He is naked, his skin shines with sweat and some red markings from sunburnt on his chest, shoulders and face, he covers his face from the sun with one hand. The hips have similar red marks but from the shape of fingers. A thin line on his forehead where the ribbon used to be and accidentally protected his skin from the sun.

Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 4d

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right)
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy?
What the hammer that hath hewn it
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee,
Or an external franchisee?

WWX as a Wen bodyguard.

He's in the background during Wen Xu's awkward arranged date with LWJ.

WX can't see because WWX is behind him, but WWX keeps making faces and smirking at every subtly bitchy sentence that LWJ says.

LWJ accepts a second date with WX just to see WWX again.

I felt my face change. The muscles were all stiff, and not from the hit I’d taken. I’m still not great at controlling my expressions, and I had no idea what I looked like. Behind her hands, Amena whispered, “Oh shit.”

😂 I fully assumed from the first post that you were making a crochet doll of yourself for some reason. I was like “interesting choice but okay.” Glad you clarified 😂 I wish you well with you endeavor!
