teachers: don’t come to class when you’re sick!! it’s better for everyone if you stay home

also teachers: oh yeah just remember that you will be harshly penalized over missing class for any reason, including physical sickness!

The idea of spontaneously getting on a train and going somewhere far might be romantic in another country but England is too small for that. Pull an Eternal Sunshine and go where? Fucking Slough? Go to fucking Slough and get a fucking boots meal deal?

i only understand about 60% of the words in this post but i still think its funny

me: okay time to jump into the action scene

me: don’t say it

me: don’t say it

me: don’t say it

me: don’t say it

me: don’t say it

me: don’t say it

me: don’t say it

me: don’t say it

me: … “SUDDENLY”

My go-to fixes for this:

1. but before [Character] could [verb], ACTION!
   
2. [Character] was about to [verb] when ACTION!
3. but no sooner had [something] than ACTION!
   
4. but just as [something boring], ACTION!
   
5. BANG!/CRASH!/BOOM! ACTION!
6. “Character dialogue starting some sentence about–” ACTION!
7. Character’s internal monologue starting some sent– ACTION!
8. Narrator starting some– ACTION!
   
9. … ACTION!

Why extend your readers the courtesy of a ‘suddenly’ except to vary sentence structure?

One of my go-to fixes is 

“Well, what could go wrong now?” [Character] said. 

As if on cue, ACTION!

what she says: “Oh I don’t mind; we can eat anywhere. I’m not picky.”

what she means: “For my entire life, I’ve been called bossy/picky/selfish/arrogant/bitchy for voicing my own opinions and making my views known, so now when someone I care about asks me about what I want, my immediate gut reaction is to defer to the other person’s preference. it’s less of a hassle to capitulate to someone else’s desires than to risk having someone verbally berate me for being truthful about what I want.”

Sera’s romance would be 100% better if

• It wasn’t written by Lukas Whateverthefuck
• It was written by a wlw
• It was written by someone who knows about internalized racism
• They let you understand her instead of belittling her and yelling at her
• They gave you a baking scene with her
• The fUCKING FLYCAM WORKED DURING HER SCENES
• IT WASN’T WRITTEN BY LUKAS WHATEVERTHEFUCK

Thank you! ;_;

Good people aren’t wealthy.

Let me make this clear here. It’s actually impossible to hoard millions in personal fortune and also live an ethical life.

Some people are taking this as a personal attack against their families, who make something in the six figure range. This post is not about you. In full scale, families like that are not what I’d consider to be “wealthy”.

I’m talking about the multi-millionaire/billionaire CEOs, politicians, and media moguls. This isn’t about your uncle who’s a surgeon and saves people’s lives. Please don’t misinterpret that. They’re not nearly on the same scale of “wealthy”.

But if your uncle is the head of a multinational corporation that utilizes cheap overseas labour and exploits third world countries, fuck that guy actually.
