There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without plagiarizing! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own.

I LOVE IT WHEN ENDINGS CIRCLE BACK TO THE BEGINNING!!!
I LOVE IT WHEN CHARACTERS MIRROR EACH OTHER!!!!!
I LOVE IT WHEN CHARACTERS SEAL THEIR FATES IN THEIR FIRST SCENES!!!!
I LOVE IT WHEN CHARACTERS' GREATEST TRAITS ARE ALSO WHAT DOOM THEM IN THE END!!!!!
the magnus archives will leave you going "there was never really any hope, but at least we had each other. i don't care if it's all a part of some bigger plan, if we were doomed from the start, all that matters to me is that we walked this hopeless path together." and malevolent will leave you going "there will always be hope. there will be pain, there will be loss, but there will be hope. you have to keep going. it's all you have. you have to keep going. this too shall pass."
Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intend to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.
do you ever laugh with your friends and think oh this is the point. this is the point of everything
there's nothing more devastating than the protagonist just being a person. the people they surrounded themselves with were just people, too. just people living out their lives. they weren't meant to be the big, selfless, brave hero or the savior; they were just forced into that position. and besides, the other options are much, much worse
there's probably this universe where things could've gone differently, yes, but you're not in that universe, and that's just something you'll have to live with
you could try to make things different, if you can, but if not, the only thing you can really do is just keep moving forward. day by day, things will get better
it's not the end of the world for you. keep going
heads up! tomorrow on march 2, Saturday there'll be a global march for Palestine, that means I won't be posting or reblogging anything unless its resources and information on the genocide. one of the marches happens to be held in my area, which I'll be attending
it's up to us to uplift the their voices and do everything we can to stop the genocide against Palestinians, no matter how small the action is!
some resources:
information on the global march available at shutitdown4palestine.org
tutorial on how to purchase e-sims for palestinians
donate to Care For Gaza, a non-profit helping to provide food and aid
donate to Direct Aid for Gaza, also helping to deliver food and aid, including hygiene products
actions you can take to help call for a ceasefire if you live in the US here (such as signing petitions, contacting congress, also more donation links) (UK and Canada actions available as well)
Jewish Voice for Peace's website here, includes actions you can take in the US to contact our government for a ceasefire
donate to UNRWA for Palestinian refugees
donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund
Just as a reminder as I've just noticed myself - arab.org has more pages to support on
In case you're unfamiliar with how this site works, it confirms ad revenue via your clicks, which allows them to donate money to various funds
These go to:
Children -> UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund)
Fight Poverty -> UNDP (United Nations Development Programme)
Environment -> Greenpeace MENA (Middle East and North Africa)
Palestine -> UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency [for Palestine Refugees in the Near East])
Refugees -> UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees)
Women -> UN Women
Do more with your daily clicks! You can help each one once per individual (perhaps per IP address?) per day, letting you help out with six things at once?
US-specific advice for helping Palestine below cut.
Side note I'm keeping beneath the cut since it's relevant to US folks only: if you're really determined to help Palestine, vote for Dr. Cornel West, Ph.D. for President of the United States.
He's the most openly vocal about a free Palestine and is the only candidate who has demonstrably shown he is the most committed and prepared to immediately cease US support to Israel.
Joe Biden isn't going to cave if he gets re-elected. We all know that. Voting third party is a lot less risky than you've been taught - the two party system can replace one or both parties with new parties if they lose public favour.
We have both the people and the ability to unseat the Democratic party and install Socialism, and between Socialism and Republicans, Socialism is going to lock in place immediately and become the dominant political force in America.
Cornel West's Platform
Cornel West's Volunteer Events
Cornel West's Ballot Access Tracker and Ballot Access Plans
Tumblr thread I have of Primary/Caucus polling dates in the US (includes US territories)
Not on your Primary/Caucus ballot? Write-in, "Cornel West," on your ballot, or urge your Caucus representatives to do the same.
In a state where it's difficult for Independent candidates to get ballot access? Dr. Cornel West, Ph.D. thought ahead and has created a new party for those states called the Justice for All Party.
(Addendum: Claudia de la Cruz is not a viable alternative. The Party for Socialism and Liberation has a Conservative 5th Column and has frequent issues with discrimination.)
and remember to do your daily clicks!
arab.org - clicks generate funds that go to gaza
gazaesims.com - purchase e-sim cards for gazans without internet
gofundme.com/f/careforgaza - sends funds to displaced families in gaza
piousprojects.org/campaign/2712 - provides hygiene kits for women/girls in gaza
and remember to do your daily clicks!
There's one charity that I haven't seen shared here personally, and that's Care for Gaza.
They're shared a lot on twitter as a reputable on-the-ground relief source. You can donate to their gofundme to help their efforts here.

@sotibllec @mement0m0r1 @wwwsys figure you guys would like to see this :))))
All chosen applicants have already been invited to Isla Quesadilla! Everyone else, I apologize, but you didn't make it in :( all available slots have been filled
But don't worry! We might open applications again, so keep a look out!
Hello everyone!
Our fan-made, roleplay-focused Minecraft server called Isla Quesadilla is looking for new residents!
Isla Quesadilla is based on the QSMP, though knowledge of the QSMP isn't required, since Isla Quesadilla follows a vastly different storyline compared to its base.
To be more specific, the island, the train station, the adoption center, the eggs and the general premise of the QSMP stay the same, but the Federation itself and the general plotline are quite different.
The story may have already begun, but the admin team will make sure you'll be able to have an easy time easing into the server and its story!
Application Form Here
Don't be afraid of the application form! We just want to make sure the Isla Quesadilla experience is right for you!

I would love to hear some lore between Vex and Sunflower!!!
AHHHH OKAY!!!
(For clarity, Vex uses She/They pronouns and Sunflower uses Any)
So Isla Q is a QSMP parody rp server I'm on with @mement0m0r1 (who put the whole thing together!), @sotibllec, and a bunch of other awesome people! The island, train station, and general premise is the same as the QSMP, but the Federation itself and the general plotline is quite different. Different how, I'm not quite sure yet, but investigation is ongoing on the island!
Just like the QSMP, residents of Isla Q found eggs in an adoption center built into the wall and were assigned partners to take care of them with! My character, Vex, was partnered with another character, 02, and they chose an egg with a sunflower on its shell and named her Sunflower Due to a mix of irl factors, 02 hasn't been able to be very active on the server, which means that Vex and Sunny have grown very close.
And nowww the funky stuff. There were a couple weeks where Vex wasn't able to be on the island (school got hectic.) During this time, Sunny grew very close to one of the Federation workers who had a sharpie smile drawn on his face by other islanders named Friendly Worker. Friendly has since disappeared without a trace, leaving Sunflower confused but certain that their friend would show up to save them if he was ever in danger.
That theory was tested when, one week, the task entailed taking the eggs to an ocean monument. Sunny was slain by a guardian.
When Sunny woke up back at home, Vex was there waiting. Sunny couldn't understand why her friend hadn't saved her, and Vex didn't have the heart to tell him that the very organization he called her friend was the one that assigned the dangerous task in the first place.
Here's an elaboration of the relationship between them (with hints at Vex’s own little secrets):
you are amazing
there is truly nothing like mcrp with people you have never met irl and probably never will to make you say the wildest shit
