Tumblr: #this fucking donut #can we talk about this fucking donut for a minute #can we #because on this donut #the sprinkles just comfortably melt into the icing #you can tell that they are so perfectly in tune with each other #and they’ve come so far from when the sprinkles just sort of sat on top #barely touching for fear of rejection #just ugh I can’t #otp: comfortably melting
4chan: here’s a picture of someone putting their dick in a donut.
reddit: that donut needs to go back into the kitchen and make me a sandwich.
academia.edu: Here is a pdf of the seminar paper I wrote about the erotics/poetics/semiotics/science of donut eating.
deviantArt:I did not steal this donut. I traced it so now it’s mine.
It got better
Fanfic.net: The donut is the setting for a high school AU, were two sprinkles meet and realise they have more in common than they ever thought possible, however, the mean chocolate sauce has caught wind of their secret relationship. Will they be able to make it together before it’s too late? M for a lemon flavoured donut.
This has officially become one of my favorite posts.
I JUST REBLOGGED BUT FANFIC MADE IT PERFECT
Ladies and gentlemen, I present you with: The Internet.

I should definitely start doing this. I’ve lost HOURS doing research for a line that I ended up scrapping.
Oh I like TK I usually do this with brackets like [number] or [thing].
Or, obviously, [joke] and [funny thing] and I think once [chad help].
TK (or whatever format you use–sometimes I highlight the blank space or just leave some random asterisks) is a lifesaver!
If this is the permission you need to write it a way that works for you, great!
In case there’s anyone out there who IS like me, though: for me this is a huge wad of horseshit.
If the detail I don’t know has stopped me then I’m not going to be able to move on without finding the answer because what comes after will be built on that detail.
If it turns out there AREN’T any Catholic churches in Brooklyn that could reliably be assumed not to say something that will piss off my character during their Midnight Mass on the 24th then his friend isn’t going to advise him to go anywhere for Midnight Mass which means this entire next part of the story where he has a particular convo that is PROMPTED by the experience of going to Midnight Mass is not going to happen.
And that means everything afterwards is going to be different and yes it will be in meaningful ways.
The thing is, for me, I won’t get interrupted in my writing momentum for anything that ISN’T like this. I might go back and add local colour details that weren’t necessary for the story later, but that stuff isn’t going to interrupt my flow.
Other people’s “composition brain” works different from mine. If I’m tired or having a hard time, my drafts get very spare – down to dialogue and (boring repetitively phrased) blocking plus any thoughts that are actually immediately relevant expressed baldly. They’re chunky and stilted that way. Because those are the absolutely crucial elements I need in order to find out how this moment happened, how this series of events led to another series of events.

Water is wet? We been knew?
Every time you fucking morons dismiss these things as obvious. Every time you show that for all your “concern”, you know nothing about how these things work.
No matter how obvious, there being studies matters, because next time, when people are denouncing bad parenting and they are asked for scientific proof, instead of saying “Water is wet? We been knew?”, they can point to the study that legitimizes and proves it, and they can say “here’s the evidence, shitheads, now start being good fucking parents/acknowledging the bad that you cause”.
