i think it is unrealistic for fans to expect sequels to be published a year after the first one and also want the book at its highest quality. it’s okay to expect a few years in between and i think it weird how much pressure authors face to publish their next book immediately. that’s a lot of stress on authors and i think it often leads to books being put out before they are ready.
If you truly enjoy books, you should be used to a slower consumption experience.
Apply this to time between installments.
Accept that if you get into a good series with multiple books to go, you are going to be following it for a decade or more.
A bad book published on schedule is on time once, but bad forever.
A good book published on a delay is late once, and then good forever.
Ultimately, you’re getting a book either way. The question is, would you like something satisfactory that you can look back on fondly for the rest of your life, or do you want something that the author rushed out over the course of a bunch of sleepless nights that reflects the quality of those working conditions?
Good work takes time. If you’re really pressed about authors not handing you a novel each year, go write fanfic - and find out for yourself how hard it is to produce a novel’s worth of good, solid, well-paced, well-plotted story regularly.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
the bitch that threw a fit about tying with a trans woman in college swimming is actually pathetic because they weren’t even tied for first. they tied for fifth. imagine joining a hate movement over a fifth place trophy
okay it’s come to my attention that absolutely NONE OF YOU know ANYTHING about how cutie marks work. let me say this simply. a cutie mark isn’t a job being assigned, it’s a special TALENT OR SKILL that the pony enjoys. Most of the time it has a directly transferable job for that skill, like if you enjoy baking and are super good at it WOW! baker. If you are really good at writing and telling stories, author. However, there are some cutie marks that could go multiple ways.
twilight sparkle has exceptional magic ability, so she became a scholar, but she could really do anything that required a good magic skill. same with rainbow dash, her weather controlling job isn’t directly linked to her cutie mark, but it does fit the bill for the job.
i was posed the question of what would a murderer pony’s cutie mark be and wouldn’t everyone know. NO. if somehow murder were to be a special skill, the cutie mark might be something like a knife or a shovel. other ponies might just assume you’re good a cooking or gardening. now with cutie marks like apple jacks, their family has a ‘green thumb’ kind of deal so obviously the cutie mark would be hereditary.
so, the reason i made this post. walter white pony’s cutie mark would NOT be blue crystals. it would be a CHEMISTRY FLASK.
don’t quote me on this but i’m starting to think that having a smug ironic detachment from all aspects of human experience might not be totally healthy

“Anything is fine as long as it’s legal” is not the sex positive position you think it is. Anything can be criminalised. Anything can be decriminalised.
In some places it’s illegal to consensually choke your boyfriend. In other places marital rape is not a crime. Develop a moral compass instead of expecting your government to tell you what is right and wrong.
mouse girl commercial airline pilot who gets on the intercom and says “this is your captain squeaking… we’ve just ahhh, reached our maximum cruising altitude of 32,000 feet, which is very high and scary for me because I’m a mouse”
this could have been a completely normal, nonsexual post about mousegirls with various careers, but u just had to go and ruin it by implicitly referencing an airplane

so much is happening fucking everywhere but what happened today in belgrade was insane. i just have no words. i keep getting goosebumps. god knows how many people were here, fuck me if there were not a good 500k - 1 mil, we sang the national anthem and i cried like a child after what feels like years. 15 minutes of silence for the people who tragically died in novi sad in november (pieces of shit, of course, used a sound grenade in the 11th minute to scare people away) and so on. this can never happen again. our government will burn along with everyone who still supports this regime. the entire balkan region will rise and live in unity. we must not hurt each other ever again
this was only in slavija (square in belgrade). this is the beginning of something new and different
Even just the direct video evidence from drones, phones, and stuff shows ~300.000 people were there hours after the peak had already passed. If we include all the streets for which we literally do not have any recordings for but which we know had people in them, that’s even higher

as you guys know my grandparents got scammed almost a month ago, some man told them he was going to send them medical equipment they needed for $500 dollars, we were desperate, not only they lost all the money they had, my grandpa has gotten significantly worse, he’s starting to lose vision in his good eye and my grandma is losing mobility as well (evidence), I know I sound annoying always coming here and begging for money for my grandparents and for my college, I don’t know how to anticipate the grief, losing my grandpa everyday to his illness, losing my college education cause I can’t afford it, in México the situation it’s just getting worse and even though I feel lonely I have found a community here and I’m forever grateful for that, even a dollar goes a long way and all the money will go to their medical needs since I’m very sure I won’t be able to cover college expenses, please share and donate if you can, you can help via p*ypal or any way you want through ko-fi, here’s the link! 💕 thank you sm
Photography, since its invention in the 19th century, has been a testimony of time, a capture of the instant that, in its materiality, connects us to the past. However, in the digital era, photography has radically changed its essence and function. The phrase “photography after photography” invites us to reflect on what remains of the photographic image once it has lost its physical anchoring and has been absorbed by the incessant flow of data and screens.
Today, photography is no longer just a record of the visible world but a manipulable, ephemeral digital construction, often detached from any reference to reality. With advanced editing tools and the omnipresence of artificial intelligence, the boundary between the real and the fabricated has blurred. Post-photography, a term coined by Joan Fontcuberta, describes this phenomenon in which images are generated, transformed, and shared incessantly, stripping them of their uniqueness and materiality.
Social media has accelerated this transformation. Photography is no longer an object treasured in a family album or a gallery but content that circulates, is quickly consumed, and is replaced by new images in a matter of seconds. Collective memory has become fragile, as images are seen, forgotten, and replaced at a dizzying pace.
However, this change has also opened new artistic and communicative possibilities. Photography after photography is not only about loss but also reinvention. Artificial intelligence and augmented reality have taken the image to previously unthinkable dimensions, allowing photography not only to document but also to create alternative worlds.
In this context, the fundamental question is: how do we redefine truth in a world where every image can be altered? Photography after photography challenges us to be more critical of what we see while exploring new forms of visual expression that technology offers us. The future of the image is not in nostalgia for photographic paper but in the ability to understand and use these new tools creatively and reflectively.
The McDonald’s french fry
is unbelievable. When you bite into it, you think: It’s so tasty, it
can’t be real. As soon as it gets cold, it turns to lard and flubble. I
mean, have you ever tried to eat a McDonald’s french fry that’s gone
cold? That’s one of the circles of hell. The gulf between the warm,
fresh, lightly salted McDonald’s french fry and the cold McDonald’s
french fry is as great a gulf as any I know. - Viggo Mortensen, Esquire magazine (x)
Just got word that my local fish store has some fish I’ve been waiting for for months and I get to go buy one or maybe two this weekend :)))))) They look like this I can’t wait
it fucking sucks being a disabled person who can’t work and having to see these fuckass posts where someone’s like “ahaha jobless people have no life and that’s why everyone shitty online has No Job” and everyone and their mother reblogs it joyfully onto my dash for me to see. yes unemployed and unemployable people are truly without exception dogshit people with no hobbies and no redeeming qualities. you’re so right. anyway if you’ll excuse me i have to start my shift at the I’ll Never Be Employed Because Of Permanent Disability And I Love Knowing How You Really See Me store
if ur able to work can u reblog this i am seriously SO sick of it.
btw this isn’t solely a disability rights issue or an issue about people who are entirely unable to work. you should also be thinking about the people who are regarded as unhireable. transfems are hugely discriminated against in this way, people of color are passed over for less qualified white people, anyone who has any difficulty playing the interview game is less hireable… frankly anyone who made the mistake of pursuing the things they love and now has a degree for a niche field. if you still joke about Jobless People it’s because you’ve fundamentally connected the worth of people to their labor, and specific labor, work that you see as valuable. and while i’m at it stop making fun of people who still live with their parents. asshole.
