c) learn how to write properly.
d) what makes you so cool that you saw weed?
e) having 7 girlfriends? Do you think that’s something to be proud of?
f) grow up.
Maybe, they could just explain to the person they were only joking (the original post) instead of just being rude? Like, that person wouldn’t have gotten frustrated with them if they had just explained and hadn’t continued being condescending (because that how it comes across to me also and I get the joke!) @thebootydiaries just try being a bit less passive aggressive and try talking to people instead of making everything a giant shit post. Cause I see you get this shit all the time.
“if u make a joke u have to explain it to salty ass people because this is the internet and jokes are illegal and we must praise the 11 year olds” u see me get this shit all the time lmao people don’t know what jokes are and that’s my fault somehow?? how u gon call me passive aggressive when ur tags be like that. she went out of her way to message me so chill out my dude

Buy a bat (I have my old color guard rifle) or similar. Keep it in your room/near your bed.
Get a lock for your bedroom door.
If you’re moving into a new place, change the locks. Who knows who had a key to your place before you.
Keep your phone/a phone in your room.
Get a weather alert system set up. App, weather call, little weather radio that tells you about major weather events.
Adopt a pet
Wave at your neighbors. Take note of the ones that make you uneasy. Watch out for kids always.
Be nice to your mail person. No matter what.
If you choose to drink/etc alone, unplug your wifi router. You’ll thank me.
Have extra seating. People sit when they visit. Your one comfy chair is great for you. Not so great for you + grandma + ur five cousins, your aunt, and a couple others.
Learn the self-Heimlich
When you take a shower, bring your phone to the bathroom in case you fall your phone is no longer halfway across the house, it’s just on your counter
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Idk what else
If you live in an one-room apartment, put a screen around your bed. It’ll feel less like you visit people, esp. strangers, into your bedroom. Also you’ll feel much safer sleeping in the enclosure.
Cook enough for a few meals each time you cook, and freeze the extra food. That way you’ll prevent things from expiring and it’s great when you don’t feel like cooking or have no time or energy for it.
Give a key to someone near you trust, or hid it somewhere few people will look, like up in a tree. Shutting yourself out isn’t nice, esp. not at night.
Put something translucent like curtains or stickers for windows where people can walk past or look in. You’ll feel less watched that way.
Put some contant money somewhere in your room. Good to have in case your bag gets lost or stolen.
Feeling lonely? Remember, online contacts are not less valuable.
I would say maybe set reminders for everything too. Taking meds/vitamins, working out, going to sleep, waking up.
Buy a small fan for white noise at night if you’re the kind (like me) that gets anxious at all the little ambient noises that ANY building can supply in the dark.
Don’t watch scary movies in the dark by yourself, with no visitors.
NETFLIX, if you can afford it. It’s also useful because you can watch movies / shows with your online buddies at the same time, miles and states and (sometimes even) countries apart.
get an app like safetrek. never walk into allies or empty streets if there is a more populated/well-lit route to your destination. keep emergency contacts in your wallet and a red cross card with your blood type on it in case anything happens. carry a list of medications you’re allergic to, if any.
walking around with a headset or headphones discourages people from yelling at you on the street, and it’s easier to escape from hasslers. however, it’s pretty advisable to not have anything actually playing so you can be aware of your surroundings. if anything, have it at low volume.
if you get grabbed on the street (this used to happen to me a lot), immediately scream, and the person will usually get startled, giving you time to get away.
if you feel like you’re in a really bad place, call someone, or even pretend like you’re calling someone. say where you are. act like you’re planning on meeting up with them. be loud about it. make it seem like someone will notice if you go missing, even for a little bit.
also u should look up manufacturer’s coupons like damn i feel like a successful suburban mom every time i walk into cvs and save 2 dollars on my toothbrushes
JACK VERSUS FEELINGS: the domestic au comic where jack realises he has something called feelings (for rhys). for anon who asked about this ages ago!!! SORRY IT’S SO LATE
Since the Con season is over for the year I decided to post up the ‘color’ versions of the Cipher project for you all to enjoy!
For those of you who don’t know, the Cipher Project AU is based of the H.P Lovecraft mythos, specifically the dream cycle series. William is an allegory to Carter, Bill is Nyarlathotep while Roderick mimics the various poor souls who get too deep into the occult.
Today’s lesson isn’t on how to write, it’s about how to
accept the fact that your story will never be viewed as 100% original. To give this lesson,
I’m going to tell you about how I almost stopped writing.
When I was a little kid, I loved the idea of characters who
could control the elements. I even spent time figuring out what nature’s “true”
elements were and one of the first stories that I ever thought up was about a
group of girls with magical powers who had to save another planet.
Then this was published:
For those of you unfamiliar with W.I.T.C.H., it’s a series
about girls with magical powers who control the elements and have to save
another planet. It was pretty popular in the early 2000’s and they even made a TV show based on the books.
But that all happened well after this story reached its end,
so let’s get back to little me, who picked the book up on a whim and was heartbroken
by the time she’d finished it. Someone had stolen my idea and got a book about
it published. Now I’d never be able to write my story. What was the point? It
would just be called a knock off even though I’d had my idea long before
W.I.T.C.H. had hit bookshelves across America.
I won’t bore you with the soul searching and sadness experienced
by little me. Instead, I’ll just get straight to the point. Straight to the
lesson I had to learn to be a good writer: it doesn’t matter if people view
your work as original. What matters is whether or not they enjoy it.
Every book you’ll ever read, every show you’ll ever watch,
every movie you’ll sit and gasp at will remind someone, somewhere of another
story. Any new magical school books or books about young wizards will be
likened to Harry Potter for years to come. The new Pixar movie, Inside Out, has
already been compared to the 90’s TV show Herman’s Head for having a similar
idea about personifying a person’s emotions and let’s not even mention the
dozen or more reboots and based-on-a-book films that we’ve seen in the past few years and will see in the
not-to-distant future.
There are 7 billion people on the planet. At least one of
them has thought up a story that’s similar to the one you’re writing right now.
A fact that was true even when the earth’s population was a mere fraction of
that number as evidenced by the fact that so many different cultures have
fairytales and folklore that are shockingly similar. But you know what? I bet
that your story has something that sets it apart from the others. I bet that
you have some clever line that will make people laugh or maybe you’ve got a
character that people will connect to in a way that they don’t in the other
versions. Or maybe your uniqueness comes from the setting, you’re telling
Cinderella in steampunk or Star Wars in the old west.
What I’m getting here is that unique is more important than
original. Take 5 stories and blend them together and you’ll get something that the
world’s never seen before, even though it’s seen all the base ideas 1000 times.
So don’t give up when you see similarities in other stories.
Instead, let those things inspire you to make your story even been than it was
before so that it shines, not for being the only one of its kind, but for being
one of the best.
And, hey, if you really do have an idea that’s 100% original, definitely get that thing published. The world hasn’t had one of those in millennia.
