writing, in theory: fun
writing, in practice: [unintelligible noises] [sobs] [maniacal laughter] [screams]
I would rather live in a world filled with bad art than a world filled with no art at all.
i love how many fantasy creature headcanons are just like "what if they were like a big kitty cat" and there's not really any good reason to argue that they can't be because they're literally made up
if i decide that dragons make biscuits with their paws and purr when given scritches even though they're reptiles and not felines then who's gonna stop me? the cops? lmao
Oops, I never uploaded this one to Tumblr (which I only realized when someone else did, but then was kind enough to tag me, thank you)!
This is the comic that kickstarted my obsession with telling stories with as few panels as I could (usually 10-11 haha), so it’s got a soft spot in my heart.
A dragon who decides to hoard mint and various types of mint plants (and not knowing that mint has the mushroom’s blessing of inevitability were ever its planted) can go one of two ways.
1: The dragon is absolutely horrified as the mint engulfs and takes over its den. Its gold? Mint. Its gems and goblets? Mint. Its stores of wine? Mint. No matter what they do they can’t get rid of it.
2: The dragon is delightfully ecstatic as the mint engulfs and takes over its den. It’s a self growing hoard. No matter what any adventurers or knights do, they can’t get rid of it.

All Works of Fiction Represent Constructed Realities and by Demanding a Lack of Plot Holes, You Are Improperly Importing the Rules of Objective Reality into a Subjective Creation that Must Be Judged Primarily on Its Aesthetic Merits

Dude, Just Come-up With a Headcanon Like A Normal Human Being
Bonus:
This Obviously Isn’t a Plot Hole and No One Even Thinks It Is, But the Algorithm of this Horrible Clickbait Website Has Recognised “Plot Hole” As a Word that Whips the CinemaSins Bitchers’ Brigade into a Frothy Lather So We’ve Encouraged Our Writers to Use It as Often as Possible
This is my new favourite post.
I love the idea of dead gods. Not in the sense of “hey i killed something supernaturally strong” but in the sense of “i killed it and it’s still a god.” It is still worshipped. prayers are still answered. miracles are performed in its name, even as it lies pierced by a thousand swords and burning with chemical fire. even as it drifts through vacuum, decapitated and bleeding molten rock. in cosmic spite of being shot through each eye and hurled into a plasma reactor, it still radiates the power of the divine in a way that primitive death cannot smother. the nature of godchild is not so simple as to be tied to the mortality, or immortality, of any living being.
In science that's called a whalefall :)
