I love Hideo Kojima he makes multiple games where characters give long winded monologues (that he personally wrote) about how US entertainment media is designed to manufacture consent for the military, and then he'll spend 3 days gushing about Top Gun
Harry: *fishes a pair of pants out of the trash*
His internal monologue: oh you're putting on the Normal Pants? Huh? The pants that make you normal? You like the Normal Pants, normal boy? You bourgeoisie liberal? You Fucking Moralist in your Normal Pants you normal pants wearing pants wearer!
Kim: i trust this man to solve a murder so completely
One thing that always weirds me out is people commenting on fics like they are literary critics? "This plot-point doesnt avance the overall storyline and is derivative" "the character's actions disregard the overarching themes". Like imagine being able to write —gratis, may I add! Nobody is paying for fanfic!! —, anything in the world but still choosing to be bound by editorial standards and nag random people in the internet about it. Some people out here be acting like they run CinemaSins, —for FANFIC, could you imagine— really couldn't be me.
"How to look good in a dress" or, you know, whatever you want to wear!

There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without plagiarizing! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own.
Please add on if you know any more resources for free images <3
i am a perfectly nonchalant person. except on days where i crave love. then i choke up and go insane and begin howling at the moon
the story of tlön —the fictional world created through a series of dictionary entries by a group of random specialists with too much time of their hands, written by Jorge Luis Borges— but make it unhinged, in real time and way sexier
