And this is what happens when a masterfully crafted katana collides with a masterfully crafted longsword.

Suck it, katana

HAH!

suck my fuckin’ diiiick

Aren’t katanas and longswords made for different overall purposes tho

Katanas are slasher weapons made for cutting masterfully through human flesh so obviously it’s not gonna get through a fucking longsword which is really fucking thick and heavy and made for beating the shit out of people as well as hacking at armour

A katana would slice the shit out of you guys so idk what the fuck you’re so smug about

^That.

this is basically like driving a ferarri into a tank.

Now /that’s/ a metaphor

livia-carica:

Reblog if you’re currently writing a novel, even if it’s only in your head or scribbled in the back of a notebook somewhere.

Think about how many books don’t exist yet.

If scribbled in the back of a notebook somewhere counts, I’m writing approximately 20-30 novels at any given time…

She Thinks Too Much [Such Girls Are Dangerous]: spicyobsession: white feminists and white “critical” fangirls can...

jhenne-bean:

spicyobsession:

white feminists and white “critical” fangirls can boohoo all they want about how they’d like their female characters to exist as more than a love interest or have romances downplayed in their character arcs

I’ll sit over here in my intersectional corner wishing and hoping for WoC characters with romance-heavy arcs because really, how often do you see that in media

how often do you see us romanced and cherished without it being made into a fetish or a temporary fuck before we get thrown over for the ultimate end-game white love interest

I’ll wait

#oop there it is #fuck that noise i’m not letting white bishes tell me how i should engage with my fiction #we don’t exist on equal stratospheres you dinglebutts #isms

I really struggle with titles.

paranerdia:

Books, short stories, whatever. I’m just not good at them. No good at names, either.

But I found these, recently, and while they aren’t infallible (they produce a lot of nonsense) they make for a good starting point.

Random Title Generator

Fantasy Title Generator

Romantic Title Generator

Something a bit more ‘pulp’ orientated

And something a bit more detailed

Great for fanfic AND original fiction! Pass it on.

“

If you write a story with a huge ensemble cast and your subconscious makes them all straight, every single fucking one of them, it’s because you’re a homophobe and don’t think gay people’s existence is relevant to life.

shut up.

25 Hard Truths About Writing And Publishing

terribleminds:

“Despite the promises of certain snake oil salesmen promising to sell you a magical unguent that — once slathered upon your inflamed nethers — will assure that your book gets published, no actual formula for success exists. If it did, a book would go out into the world and either fail utterly or succeed completely. All editors would want to take it to acquisitions. All readers would snap it up from bookshelves both real and digital with the greedy hands of a selfish toddler. But it ain’t like that, slick. One editor may like it. Another will love it. Three more will hate it. The audience will run hot or cold on it for reasons you can neither control nor discern. This is an industry based on the whims of people, and people are notoriously fucking loopy.”
