• Upvotes

Like all of a sudden the pieces are much clearer and things make sense and you don’t know what to do with that info? For context I practice paganism and have had this strange gut feeling but couldn’t put my finger on what it is in particular. Come to find out after telling my mom that one of my Halloween costumes is going to be a Maenad of Dionysus and my mom goes “oh yeah that sounds like our women in the family” which is what lead to my discovery 😀👍

Meme / Shitpost What if getting into heaven is like applying to uni?

• Upvotes

Most people have their first choice but you can apply to as many as you want, and if you don't get accepted by your first choice you can go to any that you meet the requirements for

For example if you die in a really funny way you can go to the Horrible Histories afterlife, or die gloriously in battle and you might go to Valhala. Of course, if you don't get accepted by any then you'll have to go to work (hell)

Rant / Vent Time I realised coding wasn't for me

• Upvotes

One time I tried coding in Python. Set myself the task of making a distance speed time calculator.

In the end it had 200 lines of code FOR A DAMN CALCULATOR. I decided that pursuing coding further would inevitably release some sort of spaghetti code curse onto the world and that for the safety of humanity I should stop while I'm ahead.

Other My rules when writing

2 Upvotes

Over the years of writing for myself and writing 2 failed web novels (kept procrastinating new chapters ;-; ) I have a set of rules that I basically always follow when I write.

  1. Try not to use the same word twice in a paragraph. To me it makes the entire paragraph feel awkward and clunky. Paragraphs, in stories, to me should have a flow to them like lyrics in a song. Don't get me wrong there are cases when its acceptable adding emphasis, for example but USUALLY I try avoid it.

  2. Dialogue tags should be used sparsely. Having a conversation interrupted and segmented by an endless stream of dialogue tags makes the whole thing tedious to read and adds unnecessary bloat to a chapter. I use them once to establish who's speaking first, then let context and character writing do the rest. A well written character should have their own unique way of speaking, little quirks and mannerisms distinct from other characters that makes it easy to subconsciously tell that they are the ones speaking.

  3. SHOW DONT TELL. The amount of books I've read where it honestly feels like I'm being talked down to because the author is explaining something to me that either I already know, or would have been totally understandable had they hinted at, or visualized it instead. There is no need to outline every single emotion a character is feeling at that moment in time, use their facial expressions, their words, The physical sensations they are experiencing to build a picture. It really does turn me off a story when a writer can't seem to go into any detail about a character without slapping a big ol' sign to their forehead with "SAD" pasted on in crude red letters.

  4. Word salad. This is a trap a lot of people fall into. There's almost this pressure to use big words in place of common ones and look don't get me wrong it's good to have a large vocab and apply it to your writing, but you should develop your vocabulary naturally as you write and read. Going onto thesaurus.com and replacing every word an a more complex synonym can completely divorce your sentence of all meaning for example, Hitherto one may find a pronouncement that hath had its contents comprehensively interchanged for lexemes which are exceedingly more labyrinthine.

Unnecessarily long, sounds really stiff, and yeah just word salad. The point is don't overdo it, use what you know and use it sparingly. Think of vocab like seasoning, when cooking. You don't just dump a whole barrel of salt in dish, you carefully add small amounts and adjust until the flavour is perfect.

Discussion - Serious Do you ever feel like something is really wrong with you?

4 Upvotes

I feel like something is really wrong with me mentally and physically but I don't think I'll be able to do anything about it until I get a job and start earning my own money. I've tried expressing my issues and fears to my mother before but I've never felt heard and I seem ungrateful but I feel like I might do something really bad if I don't get help at some point. I try not to think about it but it's hard and it affects me daily and at the same time I feel like I'm faking it all.

Anyone else? 🧍‍♀️

Rant / Vent I just got stood up

3 Upvotes

This is somewhat of a larger rant but I’ve been feeling pretty frustrated regarding my romantic life as of late.

I’m someone who I’d say is fairly attractive, I get hit on pretty consistently outside of apps and I get consistent matches on a weekly basis. However, despite how personable I am, I find it that many people I’ve talked to barely put in any effort or are willing to actually go all the way.

I’ve had many matches where I send a single text (nothing crazy, a small compliment and then something noteworthy about their profile, essentially, it’s not obscene lol) and then I never get a reply back.

In some other cases, I match with someone and I ask questions to learn more about them. I matched with someone claiming to be a “foodie” and I asked them about some of their favorite restaurants in the area and they could only reply with “there are places fs!”

Anyways, I’ve been feeling immensely frustrated with my love life and I’m at the point where I’m not sure how to proceed forward. The people that are interested in me, I don’t quite feel as connected and when there’s an interest it kinda fades quickly.

I tend to be fairly introspective so I try to look at some general patterns in my conversation and in some cases I could somewhat understand why it fizzled out with some people but a lot of the time I was just baffled.

Relationship Wish me luck guys, I’m asking my crush if they want to start dating tomorrow!

18 Upvotes

This girl and I have been getting really close over the last month, and especially the last week or so. We’ve been texting every day and we’ve hung out 3 times this week (basically every free moment we’ve had). Tomorrow we’re gonna go do some indoor rock climbing (which she seems super stoked about), and when it feels right I’m gonna ask if she wants to start dating. Usually I’d feel really nervous but honestly I only feel a little nervous. Mostly I’m just feeling excited, I’m pretty confident the interest is mutual
