All that fun stuff that's too cool for Facebook but not quite artsy enough to put on deviantArt. Elliot Morgan put it best when he said, "Facebook has just become a big family reunion, except without all the good food." I ran away from MySpace because people I knew IRL were there. And now I've run away from FB for the same reason - mostly bc I'm tired of listening to my dumbass redneck relatives talk about shit they have no knowledge of. Also, INFJ. Writing it here bc I can never effing remember. New to my blog? Then you probably need to check out this post: http://too-cool-for-facebook.tumblr.com/post/109313455847/i-have-gotten-like-a-shit-ton-of-followers-over

What's that one story...

with the magic crystal made of souls

that’s protected by the kings of the past

and it helped its society develop rapidly

and that if the people are in danger,

the crystal will choose a royal champion as a vessel to protect them

(and has a tendency to absorb said royal)

and the crystal had to be hidden away to keep it and everyone safe

but some baddies show up to steal the crystal

and the crystal is totally the Heart of the World

AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE IN KINGDOM HEARTS!

I SWEAR TO GOD I’M GONNA RIOT IF I DON’T GET AN ATLANTIS/FFXV CROSSOVER IN KINGDOM HEARTS!!!!

Tropes I’m Tired of

  • The Chosen One
  • The main character turns out to be related to a legendary hero / is actually royalty
  • Royalty in general
  • MC descends from some special bloodline
  • MC has a special power
  • MC catches on quickly to techniques that should take years to master
  • Worlds where nearly EVERYONE has magic. It’s not magical anymore
  • Taking cool or magical things and turning them mundane. Bor-fucking-ring
  • Fish Out of Water stories
  • Angels, demons, gods
  • The MC being a “half-breed”: half-angel, half-demon, demigod, etc
  • Secret societies / organizations working in the shadows to protect/destroy humanity
  • The Search for the MacGuffin
  • Prophecies
  • Monsters and other non-human entities wanting to become human. Bitch, you ain’t missing nothing
  • Medieval European-like settings

I’m sure there’s more

Holy shit that’s useful

I probably won’t find myself using this but for my followers: if you can’t handle this shit, USE THIS. If you think a movie or tv show may be hard to watch, do your homework.

1 - the very reason why I don’t watch GoT

2 - This and rotten apples are some of the best sites ever

3 - Does the dog die have a TON of subcategories, such as jumpscares, strobe effects, does a kid die, does an LGBT person dies and many, many others (they actually link to unconsenting media under “someone is sexually assaulted”). Please save it to tour favorites is really freaking usefull

Useful info. But… (and I sort of doubt it) is there a database like this for car and/or motorcycle accidents? I end up having to give up on lots of movies and shows because there’s often too much for me to handle still. Don’t really like playing the guessing game of “how traumatized is this gonna make me”

Does the Dog Die has car crashes, and if someone gets hit by a car

Seriously, they have a ton of things, and if they don’t, you can reach out to them and they’ll add a category

"Women are obsessed with romance and marriage!" - a trope in media

Media: a field which has been dominated by Men, especially since the invention of mass media

Hot Take: Men are the ones obsessed with romance and marriage, and they think that's all that women equate to - things to get married to. It's what Men's greatest hope in life is - to get married

Concept: A story about a "nobody"

No mysterious heritage, no special powers, absolutely nothing amazing. Maybe not even any significant disadvantages to overcome. Just, existant.

Now write an interesting story and make the readers care about them

without him turning into a whiny little bitch about it. Any ideas?

Okay, so I has an idea: My dad’s like me - he likes to watch movies. So I’m compiling a film/documentary playlist just to give him a glimpse into the world of race in America (and abroad). I’ve already got Native and Africa America covered. I need some good film suggestions for

  • the situation of Latinxs in America
  • “ Middle Easterners and/or Muslims in America
  • “ Asian Americans (I know, super-broad term) in America
  • “ Indigenous peoples abroad

Gimme the REAL tear-jerker stuff too. He’s a Pisces born on an Aquarius cusp. He’ll fall to pieces.

*edit: Oh shit! And let’s not forget the big one!

WHITE PRIVILEGE

Any good documentaries on that? (aside from the MTV one White People - that’s already on the list)
