Not to start a food war but yes. Pineapple has no place on pizza.That is essential human knowledge.

Well there’s the usual shit stirers who I’m pretty much ignoring at this point. But honestly I’m so much more irritated with the general mentality that if there’s anything remotely wrong with a thing that it should be completely discounted. Every time there’s a new release about casting it’s the same few things that circulate subtly in tags or texts posts. It’s complaining about tropes we don’t even know if they’ll be using 100%, what the casting choices mean for character backstories (so far new charcters are played by women of color so if they were orphaned the obvious conclusion is other characters of color were killed), how badly it’s going to suck blah blah blah.

It would just be nice if people would just give it a chance. I mean, fuck, how many seasons does spn have? They get all the chances. It’s not that I think the show should be 100% free from critique, I just have a problem with the fact that we know basically nothing about it and it already has people who are vocal about how it shouldn’t exist and people who want it to exist but complain about whatever problems they think it has. It barely exists!

But more than that I really do have an issue with the way tumblr treats any media that’s trying to make strides for the better but may have issues. I mean there was wank about who worked on Dream Daddy and how that made it bad. Nothing is ever good enough and I’m really tired of the idea that everything needs to be picked apart and destroyed until we prove it’s not good enough.

I’m just worried. I’m excited about a show with some of my favorite characters and new ones I’m excited for to step foot in a world I’m interested in. I just don’t want to see the show dead in the water because no one was kind enough to give it an opportunity to find it’s legs. But if the auidence reception is terrible for whatever reason, whether the show actually sucks or if it’s just not perfect, it won’t get the chance.

I’ll answer these all at once cause they’re on the same vein.
@unforth-ninawaters I use mine for two things. 1) to mark posts I want to go back to later and 2) to tell someone else that I see and acknowledge their post (if I have nothing good to say). I like a lot of personal posts and tag games when I don’t have anything clever or nice to respond with or not enough spoons to do either.
@deaneatscake It ties into the above answer. I have 4 blogs and sometimes I don’t feel like reading a fic or queuing a post so I’ll like it and get back to it later. I don’t like having things left in there that I wanted to reblog but didn’t feel like reblogging right that moment. Esp if I’ve been tagged in stuff. Also it feels cluttered and that’s not fun either.
@robotsnchicks If you have xkit you can add their search likes feature. Then you can search for keywords in the posts you want to look at. I usually look for my url for tag games, certains ships or characters, or friends urls. It’s not perfect but it helps.

20 + 21!

 20) do you write in long sit-down sessions or in little spurts?
Long sit-downs. My writing sessions tend to turn into marathons. I am a bit extreme so with me, it’s either the famine or the feast. I either write nothing at all or I’ve been working for so long I’m close to fainting because my blood sugar is too low. 

21) what do you think when you read over your older work?
I’m actually not that hard on past!me. Past!me made plenty of mistakes but it’s never actually that bad. I’ll notice things I could have done better or things I wish I’d thought of at the time but for the most part, I’m not usually embarrassed or ashamed. Sure, if I read the stuff I wrote in like middle school I’d cringe a bit but the important thing is that that little writer tried. I tried. And I wouldn’t be the person I am today without her cliches and missteps and failures. So, thanks, past!me! Thanks for trying and getting better and writing your little heart out!

Thanks!

Ask me writer-y things!
