"Short, sharp dialogue is a prison shiv: moves fast 'cause T-Bone only has three seconds in the lunch line with Johnny the Fish to stitch a shank all up in Johnny's kidneys."
Anglo people think this guy is a good writer. White people: what is wrong? Who hurt you???
@coriander Actually advice from one of his books: "Dialogue is like a waterslide"
@coriander Trying very hard to be quirky is how all his writing is. He also LOVES alliteration.
i should read all of chuck wendig's "how to write" books
so i know how NOT to write.
everything i make is queer propaganda
cause being queer is cool as fuck
@Taweret @coriander YES BUT ACTUALLY THIS
So was insulting poor people who "hijacked" #mastodonforharris worth it, libs?
I feel like I'm still owed at least $100 after the number of insults and reports I received for checks notes wanting to be able to afford my medication.
@aud @forestine YEAH BASICALLY THAT
it really is baby's first kink at pride discourse
@aud @forestine tldr proshipper is just someone who goes by "ship and let ship" ie not worrying about what other people are shipping (and just block/filter stuff that is triggering)
but internet babies have since decided that's equivalent to "categorically being okay with actual child pornography" because young folks lack nuance skills.
@forestine like saw this from someone i was following that hadn't made it explicitly clear they were 18 and unfollowed SO FAST
@forestine I unironically do not follow people that have DNI lists in their bio 99% of the time
extra extra don't follow if their bio says "proship DNI" because even though I'm not """proship""" (which literally means nothing anymore) it shows they are invested in the unimportant bullshit that is taking fandom discourse seriously and are clearly a literal child
when you see someone make an unironic post dissing """pro-shippers""" and you look at the account of this person you're following and they are 18 and suddenly the Kill Bill siren starts blaring and you hammer on the unfollow button at record speed
(the reason is probably "its fucking good" and also "i'm a fucking homosexual")
for whatever reason i find myself wanting to rewatch season 1 of the bear
lain is fucking iconic and i refuse to let people keep surrendering it to shitheads and not watching it
whose shitting on the south,
turn on your location, i just want to talk
(about intersectionality and how your state definitely has all the thing you criticise the south of AND MORE, y'all mfers are just more creative about hiding it)
@Taweret am i the only person who is curious how this detective got the eyepatch
all i found when i googled was an article from later on about how apparently he admitted to lying under oath about the tampering
@Taweret the best thing about those ads is how I get them when I'm watching the shit that geriatric people would also be watching on PlutoTV
they know what theyre doing
the odds that taw and i are getting almost the exact same ads in different orders is very amusing to me tbh
