like there comes a point where you think something is fundamentally wrong with you. and then it turns out it’s just Friday and you haven’t washed your hair in three days and maybe you’re also just a little lonely and the combination of all three of those things is whittling a hole into your chest every time you breathe. but also the sun’s up. and you’ve survived everything so far, so you’ll survive this too, even if it hurts, even if you have to survive it many times.

This is the funniest video concept I’ve ever seen. The backhandedness is killing me.

the best part is he had to cut it into parts bc he didn't trust the game to not glitch and eventually he just had to make a rule that if he can't see the glitch happening then it's not a glitch and it doesn't impact the gameplay. then he began to purposefully look away from glitches to try to ignore them.

To elaborate further, at one point he literally had to pull up a cat picture to cover the screen so he wouldn’t see what was happening- meaning he essentially created shrodinger’s glitch on pure technicality

more things that happened in this video:

  • he had to start an entire section over because a door glitched through someone's model during the final cutscene
  • got kicked out of the daycare at least 6 times to try and avoid an unavoidable glitch
  • watched a door close over itself twice
  • essentially had to do a deathless run because the loading screen tips were all glitched
  • turned off sound effects because moondrop's sound effects began randomly spawning on the map halfway through the run
  • turned gregory's model inside out, somehow
  • chica's model disappeared mid-jumpscare
  • he pulled up that cat video because there was literally no way to avoid the glitch in question
  • was flabbergasted by the fact that they actually fixed a glitch in the game
  • got stuck in mazercise for over an hour
  • monty glided over the railing of the stairs motionless during the bossfight
  • freddy started floating multiple times

Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!

Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.

Modern writing advice: Yes your protagonist should have flaws but ultimately we should root for them and like them from the beginning :)

Charles Dickens: Here is the worst ugliest rudest meanest nastiest bitch you’ve ever met in your life.

Modern writing advice: Make sure your POV character goes through a significant arc! Make sure they are changed by the narrative! Make sure they learn a lesson!

Narrators of every book of the 19th century: the lesson I learned is these people fucking suck, sayonara you freaks

Modern writing advice: It’s all about the character overcoming obstacles and learning! They learn their lesson so they can fix their mistakes and make good choices in the future! It’s a character arc! It’s called growth! Readers love it!

Everyone from ancient times through the 19th century: would you like to watch a Guy fuck up twenty times in a row

A zeugma walked into a bar, my life and trouble.

Twitter: the beginning of the end continues

...Mmf.

I've previously been intent on more or less riding my Twitter account into the ground in synch with the fail of the platform, a la Slim Pickens at the end of Dr. Strangelove. This new announcement strikes me as suggesting that the riding-it-out option's going to more difficult than I'd previously thought.

Will have to think a little about how to proceed if this move goes forward. :/

haikyuu is cool because you go and read things like "talent is something you make bloom, instinct is something you polish" "because people don't have wings we look for others way to fly" "today you are the defeated. what will you become tomorrow?" "we are the protagonists of the world" "and if you get really really good, someone even better will come and find you". and you read about how like. kageyama was learning to love again after it was ripped away from him and hinata was learning that he could jump high enough to become the sun itself and oikawa and ushijima and atsumu and kuroo and everyone else were all learning and trying and living with the hopes of becoming something greater than they ever could have dreamed but that something greater wasn't about winning it all it was about how they were so intricately tied that they will forever be part of the same path no matter how many times it splits and it's THE reason they are able to keep moving forward no matter what they may face. and then you're just expected to continue your life afterwards like nothing HAPPENED.

this is peak trans culture because this would have been easier with very nearly any other guitar design but she just haaad to use one shaped like the letter e. Not afraid of a challenge. Respect.

I would like to add that their name is E, literally just the letter E, like they’re in a spy movie. As if that wasn’t cool enough already she went and got a guitar shaped like her name. Fucking icon.
