Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Feelings Wheel
This is the feelings wheel by Geoffrey Roberts, shown to me by my therapist. My initial thought was, "what amazing synonyms to use for diverse emotional vocabulary!"
More than that, this wheel is great for understanding your characters inner motivations and reactions to situations. For example, if a character constantly feels helpless, then their overarching characteristics will be that they are fearful.
Characters who are less emotionally aware may use words and act in the inner most circle. Those much more aware of their emotions may describe themselves or express and use words from the outer most circle.
Hopefully you guys find this as helpful as I did! Let me know down in the comments.
Happy Writing!

Vary your language with synonyms to use instead of "said"
While there is nothing wrong with the word "said" in and of itself, variety is the key to exciting writing that keeps readers engaged.

Instead of "said quietly"
whispered
murmured
muttered
croaked
purred
hissed
crooned
breathed
buzzed
Instead of "said affectionately"
admired
gushed
praised
flattered
lauded
beamed
complimented
approved
exalted
Instead of "said sadly"
sobbed
cried
lamented
pleaded
wept
grieved
wailed
sniffled
bawled
Instead of "said angrily"
growled
fumed
demanded
hissed
scolded
mocked
yelled
bellowed
berated
Instead of "said fearfully"
stuttered
gasped
stammered
gulped
cautioned
screamed

blanched
Instead of "said excitedly"

sang
beamed
rejoiced
hailed
exclaimed
celebrated

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Facts about me 1. Can’t leave the house 2. Time feels like one endless day 3. Can’t move on from a traumatic event 4.
Alien with a universal translator decides to test it on a cat.
Alien: Hello cat.
Cat: Hello strange-cat.
Alien: why do you call me strange-cat? I am an alien.
Cat: Everything is either cat, strange-cat, not-cat, or not-food.
Alien: I am not-cat.
Cat: Not-cat is food!
Alien: NO! I am Not-food!
Cat: You bigger than me, but you is not trying to eat me. You is very strange not-food. You say you is not-food, then you is not-food. You sure you not strange-cat? You act like strange-cat.
Alien: Nevermind. Can I ask you a question about your owner?
Cat: don't know this word.
Alien: The strange-cat you live with.
Cat: Yes, that is my strange-cat. I take care of them. We play. We sleep. They groom me and make me happy. They can do many things. They are a clever strange-cat. But they dont know how to hunt. Poor strange-cat starve without hunting. So I hunt them food. I bring them food. They share food. They are a good strange-cat, even if they don't know how to hunt.
Alien: Is that why you bring mice and birds to them?
Cat: I see not-cat. I hunt not-cat. I have food for me and my strange-cat.
Alien: But you don't need to do that.
Cat: I do. Me and Strange-cat would starve if I didnt hunt.
Alien: No, look, when your strange-cat takes away your not-cat, and they give food later, dont you ever see that it doesnt look, or smell like the thing you caught?
Cat: My strange-cat is clever. Even if they don't know how to hunt. They take the not-cat and make food.
Alien: Dont you ever notice that you always get the same amount of food even though it's been days, or weeks, since you last caught a little rat, or tiny bird?
Cat: You say many strange words Not-Food. I hunt not-cat. I bring hunt to my strange-cat to show them how to hunt. They take my hunt and they don't hunt, because they are strange-cat. But they make food, because they are clever strange-cat.
Alien: Your strange-cat is called a human. They are powerful predators. They can survive many dangerous things. They are perfectly capable of looking after themselves. They are the ones who look after you! They get the food, not you!
Cat: You are very silly Not-Food. If this is true, why do I need to hunt for them?
*Cat leaves because it is time to go eat with their Strange-cat*
For when you just need to get rid of as many arrows as possible...

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
does anyone have that unsettling oil painting of a dark window with a sheet leading out into the darkness? it did the rounds on tumblr a while ago and i need itttt
Oh no, not a link where you can watch the entirety of What’s New Scooby Doo! Who on earth would post something like this???
And one for 46 different Scooby Doo movies including the beloved live action one from 2002 and it’s sequel, Monsters Unleashed??? For shame of me!
You ever think about how Kaito in fanon tends to be portrayed as a bit of a narcissist who would absolutely call his reflection a handsome devil, but manga Kaito only seems to show pride in his skill and not his looks, and could potentially get a little tense as seeing himself unexpectedly because he had a robot with his face get close to killing him.
(Or we have the 1412 anime, where anytime we see a reflection, Kaito is seeing his dad or Kid and not really himself.)
Danny owns a traveling space auditorium
like, if the boy can’t be able to go to space the normal human way because of his physical condition then he can at least center his life around the one subject he is so passionate about.
So a space auditorium it is, and not just a normal auditorium but a traveling one.
Why?
Well for one, Danny has to be on the move in a way, first from the GIW because they are the ones that have their mission of finding, capturing, and experimenting on ghosts. If they manage to find out that Danny is a halfa then they would go after him to study him and to contain him for the "protection" of others. If they don't know he is a halfa but someone who does know about ghost and suspect he is helping them then Danny is their ticket to finding those ghost. So yeah, reason one is GIW.
(Or you can also add the bad Fenton parents route and see how that goes as well)
Another reason is that this makes it an excuse for Danny to find and transport other ghosts from the human realm to the Infinite Realms whenever he hears slight rumors of other ghostly activities. It also gives him a chance to content his protection obsession
But it also gives him a bit of freedom, a chance to get out and be free from the need to stay up all night and skip out on school or be at the end of his parent's own inventions. To be able to travel without a destination and show the world his own world of wonders seem like such a personal and amazing way for Danny to live his childhood dream as an astronaut.
...and maybe an excuse to have Danny to visit Dani once or twice
But in any case!
Danny's traveling space auditorium is a tent in which people can go in and see the stars all around them. It's like the tent suddenly became big as with each step they take they felt the explosions of stars and the creation of galaxies, the rings of Saturn that feel a touch away, nova's that have colors only those with meta genes can see right in front of them, the heat of the sun as fire curls around them and the ride of shooting stars that pass the asteroid belt. With the use of Danny's powers, he can create scenes in which he had experiences in both the Ghost realm and in space.
But his favorite is when he creates the grande finally of entrapping everyone with stars, from the top of their heads to the very souls of their feet. Everywhere they walk or see there would always be stars as if they were in space itself. Danny always felt joy when the small 'stars' around them can be moved by them and watched in glee as children make a game of collecting the prettiest stars, how the adults laugh in awe and the elderly given a smile on their faces.
The first time he tested this was in the inside of his room with Jazz who quickly gained a hug and an excited Jazz over the use of his powers and his love for space. Sam and Tucker were the next to experience his little space auditorium. The joy they showed only made Danny more eager to share his little gift.
Once he grabbed a tent and did enough practice he traveled to the next town over and made cape there, nervous of the reaction of strangers would be.
He didn't need to worry as he was given praise after praise.
One show became two, then two to three, and then three to ten.
Word of Danny's traveling space auditorium spread quickly which actually got demands from other states since Danny, at first, only starred in his traveling space auditorium in the state. But now he's been getting all sorts of requests from all over the country.
And because it's the era of social media, his traveling space auditorium boomed.
It boomed to the point where he even got Martian Manhunter to see his auditorium. Martian Manhunter!
That was the best day of his half-dead life
At least, it was until he visited Gotham.
Why you may ask?
Well on the third day of his visit there was a murder inside his tent.
In the spirit of us imagining what Danny Phantom would be like if it was rebooted today, I went ahead and re-composed the theme!
Feel free to use this for anything, just credit me if you do! If you need the audio file, message me and I’ll send it to you.

Every few years I remember that the Alternative Limb Project exists and get blown away once more by their work.
This one is half hyper-realistic, and half swapable sections based on the woman's personality, moods, and spirituality.
This one comes with a DRONE and has control panels in the wrist and forearm, as well as a flashlight and laser pointer.
This one is older, from 2012, but I still love it. Shiny shiny.
This one has a WORKING CUCKOO CLOCK IN THE KNEE. A WORKING. CUCKOO CLOCK.
Another older one, this one with realistic snake.
This is a two part one, dedicated to railway workers/builders/passengers who lost limbs. The limbs can be hooked together to allow the little train to travel between them.
This one is a literal swiss army knife arm, full of survival supplies.
Just. GAH. They are all so neat.
The project was started by Sophie de Oliveira Barata and you really have to check out her work: https://thealternativelimbproject.com/
Audio processing issues plus living near the sea I think make me immune from cosmic horror cause sometimes the gulls sound slightly too much like women and I'm just walking to my bus like yeah yeah the all encompassing shrieks of human suffering coming from the sky we've all heard it. Do I have time to buy coffee before work.
