Ok, As A Writer Who ALSO Loves Using Em Dashes To Denote A Sudden Cessation Of Speech, And As An Editor,

Ok, as a writer who ALSO loves using em dashes to denote a sudden cessation of speech, and as an editor, I am BEGGING whoever typesets the files for JLA's physical books:

Use nonbreaking spaces between an em dashes and closing double quotation marks. PLEASE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. I cannot handle multiple instances of an em dash at the end of one line and the closing quotation marks at the beginning of the next.

This is torture and I hate it.

What's your favorite Tsukihina scene (anime or manga)?

What's Your Favorite Tsukihina Scene (anime Or Manga)?
What's Your Favorite Tsukihina Scene (anime Or Manga)?

This scene. This is like PEAK tsukihina and I know it's kind of a no brainer. BUT THERE'S SO MUCH TO TAKE IN-- wheeze. Like Tsuki sighing and moaning and groaning about Shoyo all day. ALL WEEK and he finally plucks up the courage to ask him a favor!? To inadvertently help him!!? OUGHGHHHH. And the slow pan up from Shoyo's pov. Tsuki is so BEAUTIFUL here I mean if you look closely you can literally see the detail of the zipper of his jacket, his lil tongue. Just so lovingly rendered. He's so pretty. He's so shy. So embarrassed. And then the following, "I'm not going to force you--" UGH it's so good. I love tsukihina

I feel a little crazy every time I remember Furudate gave Kagehina contrasting birthdays (summer/winter solstice), the yin&yang hidden in their names, first characters of their first names forming the word hishou ("soar"), constant light/dark imagery, constant talk about destiny, fate. "Somebody who's even better will come and find you."

And then I'm like, was any of that necessary? For a volleyball manga? Or did Furudate just want to make sure everyone knew they're soulmates.

What they don't tell you about writing is that as you write, you discover scenes and entire plots that you hadn't accounted for that need to be written. So you can spend two hours writing and editing only to realise you're further away from the finish line than you thought you were when you started

Honestly be pretentious as fuck about the stuff you create. Do a press release for your fanfic updates. Do a Q&A about your webcomic. Make fake merch designs for your OCs. Commission "official" book covers. Very few of us will ever get to a stage where something we've created Makes It Big but even if you have an audience of 5 people plus a shoelace fucking indulge yourself and pretend!! It's the only way to live!!

Sigh. At what point did it become standard practice for fic to be so...sterile?

I don't want to read therapy speak. Not even just anachronistic therapy speak - any kind. Ever. I don't want to read characters negotiating every fucking detail of sex acts. The fact that multiple people out there think you shouldn't kiss your long-time partner after a few drinks is honestly kind of disturbing.

What is going on out there?

September is Bi Visibility Month

I think this is incredibly important to us bi people. There are still people who think bisexuality isn’t a thing. That it’s a phase, or a stepping stone for when you’re not fully out yet as gay. And they’re wrong. BISEXUALITY IS VALID.

I’m bisexual and let me say that so many people don’t know shit about it. They say it’s nonexistent and it’s basically just a tool. And that hurts to know that there are people who don’t see me for me.

Just the other day I was looking at some YouTube comments and saw this.

September Is Bi Visibility Month

They’re erasing the identity of bisexual people. Saying, if a bi girl is dating a guy, then they’re straight. And that’s false.

This is why this month is so important. because people need to learn and need to stop being ignorant.
