Deal-of-the-damned - My Reprieve

I love Aang’s relationship with literally everyone

The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational invited readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.

Here are the winners:

It's almost 2 a.m. my time and I am so upset right now, I could have added this really cool scene I just thought of into my Kingsman fic!

Imagine Roxy just being her awesome self but she breaks character for a minute because someone brought a dog to the party and she just has to go and at least say hello, maybe pet it a bit, and Merlin can't even be mad because my man freaking LOVES dogs

I need to do a thing at some point, ugh

hey you cute af swetcheeks

ew

Looks about right

People often praise me for my story ideas so I figured: Why not try to monetize that skill?

Would you pay for me to help you develop an OC/novel outline/worldbuilding project/etc?

We would sit together (figuratively, via Discord or email) to help you:

Think through details

Streamline your ideas

Flesh out your world and characters

Identify and fix problems and plot holes

Create outlines and prompts as a starting point

For pricing I think

OCs: $15

Worldbuilding: $30

Novel outline: $50

Though I'm very flexible on pricing.

Okay, you need to make sure you play this game at some point. Maybe not today or anything, because you’ll need about thirty minutes and a serious willingness to understand how it works, but - it’s so worth it. It’s basically an answer to our occasional frustration - why do assholes always come out on top? - and the beautiful thing about it is that not only does it explain how that happens, but also how we can change it.

“In the short run, the game defines the players. But in the long run, it’s us players who define the game.”

ao3 is not instagram, and it’s not embarrassing to comment on a story that’s old. we understand that you just happened to come across it now; writing is magical in that you often come across the right story at just the time you need to read it.

also, authors will literally cry over their keyboard if you comment on the stuff they write.

The worst thing about not being able to sleep is that sometimes, you get trapped in your own mind. Your brain conjures up plenty of thoughys, and images, and scenarios, and all you can do is just lay there and absorb. You can't really fight your own mind when you're that exhausted, and it sucks.

Sometimes I get neutral or happy things, like inspiration for shit or ideas for fics, the drive to clean my room.

Sometimes, I get the shit end of the stick. Sometimes I recall a bad memory, or I put myself down, or a little voice is telling me to give up on loop.

Right now, I just want to curl up in a ball and stop existing. My brain hurts and I haven't slept properly in weeks. I might have to talk to my doctor again about pills.

I hope you guys are having a good night though. Sweetest of dreams and happiest of thoughts for all of you~~~
