I think the reason why Tolkien keeps referring to “the bow of Legolas” and “the voice of Legolas” and “the arrows of Legolas” is that he doesn’t want to write “Legolas’s”

[artemistheartist]

it’s his own damn fault, he named the character. and you can’t even blame the language he got the name from, cause he made that one up too

My ability to proofread increases by 1000% after I hit “Submit”.

[greaseonmymouth]

this is often because when you’ve submitted something (like fanfiction to ao3) it will be in a different font, size and framing than in your word processor. The text will look different in the new environment so your brain stops skipping what looks familiar (like a typo that has been there since the beginning).

So, tip: revise your work in a different font and size. I guarantee you’ll catch more typos and mistakes than otherwise.

I’m hyped for this movie but Pooh looks like 1 part childhood and 99 parts horror movie and if he ever came near me, I’d punt him all the way across the 100 acre woods.

The fact that we can accidentally bite the insides of our cheeks has to be the biggest design flaw of the human body.

NO SORRY IT’S THE FACT THAT OUR TRACHEA AND ESOPHAGUS CROSS AND BRIEFLY OCCUPY THE SAME HOLE
DOLPHINS DON’T HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

WE ONLY GET ONE SET OF ADULT TEETH THAT ARE DESIGNED TO LAST MAYBE HALF OUR EXPECTED LIFESPAN

OUR LOWER BACKS ARE STRUCTURALLY FUCKED FROM MAKING A SHITTY TRANSITION TO BEING BIPEDS

INTELLIGENT DESIGN MY ASS, BUT AT THE VERY LEAST WE’RE NOT HORSES

Female-Driven Genre-Fiction Wishlist:

• Girl teams, all girl teams.
  
• Female characters of color who actually represent their culture.
• Less self-sacrificing, martyr girls more girls and women who do things for themselves without feeling bad about it or people judging them for it.
• Mothers who do things other than parent and cook.
• Mother and daughter characters who don’t hate each others guts.
• No more “I’m not like the other girls”.
• Girl characters who are good at math and science.
• More poor female characters, who come from nothing, and exploring how that effects their heroism. And I don’t mean like middle-class poor, I mean, like having to chose between food and paying bills poor.
• Girls who don’t like each other, but can still respect each other.
• No more girl heroes/villains whose tragic backstory is getting raped.
• No more female characters of color dying or sacrificing themselves for white female characters.
• More fat girl characters in fantasy and other genre fiction who are the ones kicking-ass and taking names and being haled the hero. That are defined by something other than their weight.
• More girls of various body-types other than “lean.”
• More disabled characters in stories that aren’t necessarily about their disability.
• More unattractive girl characters.
• Girls that are not looking for relationships or losing their virginity.
• More non-binary female characters.
• More LGBTAQ+ female characters.
• “Strong” female characters who actually do things other than fight all the time and have a personality.
  
• More “strong” female characters whose “strength” is something other than fighting.
• No more stories sold as “feminist” in which only the leading character is female and everyone else is man, and only other female characters are minor or antagonists.
• No more using “like a girl” or being a girl as an insult.
• Stop making female characters be “bitches” just because. Unlikable characters are still supposed to be likable, meaning: love to hate, hate to love. Just look at Scarlett O’Hara, she’s a godawful awful person, but she’s a fantastic character.

Feel free to add yours.
