everybody talks about the possibility of alien races being huge leaps ahead of us in terms of technology but what if they were just slightly ahead of us in the most infuriating way

What if they just had GPSs with correct pronunciation

Are you implying that our lack of interstellar travel is based on subpar GPS technology? That if the GPS voices could pronounce Sirius correctly we’d be able to get there without getting lost?

“so what if that book had a bad movie adaptation? it’s impossible to make a completely satisfying movie version of a book, stop complaining!”

Wasn’t he fat tho

They considered letting Shia Lebeouf put on pounds before the filming, and lose them throughout the film, but that would have been extremely unhealthy, especially for an actor his age, so they decided to cut that aspect out.

for once i respect directors

NASA recently released imagery showing the deforestation of America  …in just 34 years.

We are killing the Earth

Forever reblog.

Oh wow

THIS HURTS

How long are we going to keep closing our eyes to this? What are we going to do?

THIS IS PAINFUL

If you care about the earth and want this tragedy to stop, go vegan

Agreed. The biggest cause of environmental harm on this planet is the animal agriculture industry. Its responsible for the most green house gases, most land pollution, most water pollution, most water depletion, most deforestation,and is the largest cause of loss of species on land and in the ocean. Eating meat and dairy is killing this planet, please ask yourself whether it is it worth it. Dont believe me? Watch this and read this.

“It turns out, our planet has an interesting phenomena that some of you may have heard about before called “seasons.” As a result, a picture of the earth is only going to be as green as the season it was taken in. An image taken in July for instance will naturally look greener than one taken in January after the majority of trees have shed its leaves,  The picture on the left is claimed to be from 1978, but in reality was taken by a multiple picture process by Nasa from June through September 2001, and was slightly edited to look slightly greener than the original.

Did u know: being mentally ill doesn’t give u a pass to be a shitty person and let your reactions go unchecked

I have depression and general anxiety/obsessive compulsive disorder

Both of these things have sent me into dissociation episodes that caused me to have angry outbursts, sometimes physical even, towards people around me. They’ve lead me to intrusive thoughts that made me irrationally jealous or upset at my partners. They’ve lead me to become despondent and nearly negligent.

Just because my illnesses EXPLAIN these actions doesn’t mean they EXCUSE them. I STILL HAVE TO APOLOGIZE WHEN I DO THESE THINGS. i still have to critically analyze myself and ask myself if these are my feelings or if it’s my illness. I still have to make it up to people when i hurt them. I still have to try to be better.

Mental illness isn’t a free pass to hurt anyone.

Memorize that shit

love the smell of ableism in the morning

Pray tell, how is this ableism? Being mentally ill you still have to be held responsible for your actions. If you hurt someone, you apologize. That goes for anyone.

Saying that the mentally ill can’t control their impulses and thus are void of any personal responsibility is, in fact, ableism.

^ BAM

#believing mentally ill people are incapable of knowing right from wrong/controlling themselves is the worst kind of ableism

An Introduction to Character Flaws

fictionwritingtips:

Creating a perfect character usually isn’t a good idea, so
you might want to consider giving your characters a few well thought out flaws.
There needs to be something internally that prevents them from reaching their
goals or something that stops them from being the most wonderful/impressive
person in the room.

Here are a few tips on
writing character flaws:

Balance
Negative/Positive

No one’s perfect, so your characters shouldn’t be either. We
all have both negative and positive traits—some that drive people crazy and
some that people talk about affectionately (Also, this depends on who you talk
to). Maybe we have great ideas, but we never take the initiative to execute
them properly. Flaws will help balance out your characters and make them feel
real. This should be something beyond “I’m so awkward it’s adorable” or “I’m so
pretty/handsome, but I don’t know it”.

Tie them into the
plot

It’s super important that these flaws play into the plot
somehow or they run the risk of falling flat for your readers. If your
character is notoriously lazy or lacks motivation, how will this affect the rest
of the story? Will your character have trouble snapping into action? If you don’t
do something with these flaws, there’s no point in mentioning them. A great
example is Ned Stark from Game of Thrones. He is loyal/honorable to a fault and
it causes huge problems for him later down the line. Being honorable isn’t
necessarily a bad thing, but depending on the story, it can cause a character’s
downfall.

Get to know your
characters

Creating great character flaws really comes down to knowing
your characters on a deeper level. Some writers throw in flaws that don’t
really matter because they don’t know what to do with their characters. Maybe
they haven’t thought out the story enough or maybe they’re afraid readers will
see their characters in a negative light. The truth is we like reading about
people who are flawed because they feel real and relatable. There’s no one in
the world who does the right thing all the time. Do some planning before you
start penning your novel and you’ll be able to shape who your character really
is and what they want.
