Time to play my favorite game!
Did I put it away properly and it’s just buried under other things in its respective storage or is it still lying around somewhere- oh wait it’s in my pocket
I refuse to believe I am sick, I am just updating and I froze half way through the process.
Tip for writing!
Descriptions! They don’t have to be so adjective heavy all the time! Sometimes it’s better to leave it to the imagination of the readers. (This works especially well when it’s in first person, though it can also be a tool to describe the characters feelings.)
Example: It has so horribly grotesque but to her, it was somehow beautiful. The way everything was put together so carefully and so precisely that no matter how inhuman it may have been, it was still, in a sense, beautiful.
Tip over
It’s not even 10 am yet ;-;
Campaign update!
One of my players finally figured out he’s half parasite half demigod. Now he keeps asking me if he needs to be fantasy Jesus. Still doesn’t know his girlfriend friend is trying to eat his son.
Somewhere, at sometime, someone looked at you and smiled. I don’t know the reason why, but at some point you made someone smile. And that’s enough. Your doing a good job.
DND update!
It’s been a while! Giant ants and got to scream “Pedophiles” and shadows. Also, 8 year old has become a bludgeoning necromancer on a war path. So fun!
I remember hearing the phrase “You went to the store for butter and apples, yet you came back with potatoes and cream but I can’t hear you complaining.” and honestly I feel that describes my experience with Tumblr.
I came on here for socializing and maybe some memes but I came out with more fears and cat pics.

Writing Tip for ya guys!
World building can be hard task, considering how there’s so much to take care of. For the more ambitious types you may consider even creating creatures. Creating animals is a difficult task as they have to seem somewhat realistic. What I recommend is taking a pre-existing animal and changing its habitat and diet.
Here, let’s change a tiger! We can change the tigers environment to a mountainous one, and we can make it an omnivore! First let’s change its size, let’s make them a little smaller then a coyote. Let’s make them thinner as well, shrinking their head and legs to be more agile. We can make their coat slicker and fur shorter. We can exchange the proud oranges and whites to more dusty browns similar to that of dirt or bark. We can make they’re teeth smaller and more dull, as well as make their ears bigger and slightly more pointed. And we’re done! We’ve changed a proud and huge predator of the forest to a small and sly omnivore of the mountains. Of course it doesn’t have to be extremely realistic but unless your creature uses a magic of some sort I would recommend not doing extremely unrealistic things.
Tip over! (This was a long one.)
I should probably specify this a bit more. I am absolutely not against putting these sorts of things in your writing. I am totally for it in fact. What I am also for, however, is authors specifying that they don’t approve of the actions displayed in their books. I’d rather writers not have to do this, but people often perceive fiction as reality.
Writing… opinion?
Ok so this isn’t a tip but I do find this important. Please don’t romanticize kidnapping and stalking or at least if you do please note that such activities aren’t, in reality, romantic. I have been around so many people who have copied such actions or have not been able to recognize the danger because stuff like obsession, possessiveness, and generally unhealthy habits have been so heavily romanticized. I’ve even had friends who have been stalked and yet not realized it because of these sorts of things! Please be aware of the messages your putting out through your work and don’t promote dangerous activities!
Opinion over.
