generally bad at tagging but I am using #acab spring for protest-related news

In an effort to get myself into a regular writing habit, I have challenged myself to write one drabble each day. I’m posting them over at Dreamwidth, user name Floweryhedgehog, if anyone wants to follow along!

I’m hoping that sharing the drabble will help me stay accountable and keep up my writing habit. If you like what you see please let me know!

“But where’s that light coming from” BITCH IT’S FANTASY WHO CARES

Ok but also from a like, theatrical storytelling perspective, there’s a thing called “willful suspension of disbelief” which is basically the concept that in order to let ourselves be immersed and enjoy a story, we need to turn off our knowledge that it’s all fake anyway.

like yes, we all *know* it’s unrealistically bright for a night time war, but it needs to be so we can SEE the story being told, and the lighting designer used blue light to show it was night time. We KNOW that Sir Ian isn’t actually a wizard but we SUSPEND that DISBELIEF because we want to be entertained.

theres the moon, theres the stars, in this fantasy world the stars might be four times as bright or there might be two moons

or, considering this is a land without electric lights, its assumed that everyones eyes, including those of the viewers, have adjusted enough to the darkness that yes normal ass moon and stars provide sufficient illumination to actually see that the elf king is not wearing sweatpants like youd be able to tell or who the hell was that who just got stabbed thats kind of an important detail in an action scene

Elijah Wood said he brought this up with Andrew Lesnie, cinematographer on LOTR, once and asked him where the light was coming from in a particular scene, and Lesnie just smiled and said “same place as the music”.

I have a friend who is very into sumo.

Trying to casually understand sumo is a little like trying to casually understand cricket. But I more or less get the basics just from watching tournaments with her.

But the one part of sumo that will always baffle me, even AFTER it was explained, is the giant macaron…

I legit thought these were photoshoped until I sat down and saw a match myself.

If they win a Sumo tournament they get a giant macaron.

May we crochet?

I can only imagine that someone got stabbed with a knitting needle during a bar fight and they can’t risk that happening twice.

An engineer and an anti-vaxxer walk up to a bridge

Seeing as the bridge is the only crossing over a notoriously crocodile-infested river, the two prepare to cross. Just before they set foot on the bridge the anti-vaxxer halts the engineer.

- How safe is it to cross this bridge exactly? - he asks

- 99.97% - the engineer replies confidently

The anti-vaxxer thinks for a moment before turning around:

- Guess I’m swimming then…

Where do I sign the petition to replace statues of shitty people with statues of Pikachu

[Image: Tweet by Audrey ( @lifeasasleeper ): “It’S oUr HeRitAgE” Pokemon Go has lasted longer than the confederacy did and with three times the Americans behind it, you’re lucky they only took the statues down instead of replacing them with Pikachus. End ID.]
