Apps For Writers I Wish I Had

So, as a writer who’s more lazy than my cats, I spend many a sleepless night thinking up apps for me to use to make the process much easier. These are a few of those. 

One: A app where you can enter a name and click ‘search’ and it will tell you if it’s okay to use in a project. You can specify wether it’s a person name, an establishment name, a place name, etc. to refine your search.  A possible name would be ‘Name Check’ or some variant.  Two: a face claim app. You can specify the basics of your character and it will pull up pictures/face claims matching the description. Eg. ‘hazel eyes’ ‘black hair’ ‘male’ ‘freckles’ and so on getting more and more specific. 

Three: an app for job research. You type in the job you have for your character and it pulls up real life accounts of people with that job. It would explain what the basics are, day to day routine, schooling necessary, hazards, time, etc. Note that this only applies to real life jobs, not fantasy

Four: a music app. You give the browser the themes, feelings, etc. of your project and it pulls up music that fits that. Also can define by genre. Also applicable for characters. 

Five: kind of goes along with face claim. A scene reference app. You give the feeling, genre, what you know about it, etc. and it pulls up pictures that match that for you to reference. To see it in front of you. 

Six: This one is sort of like three. Need to write a scene you’ve never experienced? This gives you kind of like a guideline Do’s and Don’ts, if you will. Someone who’s experienced it explains(to the best of their abilities) what they were feeling. You have to know your character well enough to change those feelings to fit your character.  Not for fantasy.   Seven: Character name checking. It’s a fucking pain to have to figure out if this awesome name is available to use in a book or anything that’s going to be written by you. With this, all you have to do is type in the name and if it turns green, it’s safe to use.

Not reply what they were asking, but Turn. Not only is it the Drarry fic, but it’s sort of like that.  https://archiveofourown.org/works/879852/chapters/1692695  I love the narcissistic snake trope. 

your blog really is a godsend! i’m looking for a fic where harry was under a curse (?) and basically it was an alternate universe where neville was the chosen one and he and draco were friends. it was basically harry’s entire life up to having kids and then he woke up from the curse and wasn’t with draco. i’m pretty sure they also went ice skating at some point after harry woke up from the curse. sorry it’s not much! thank you, have a great day :)

I’ve seen this similar theme before? My terrible memory is blank so I hope my lovely followers can help you :)

So You Want Your OC to be Jewish

So you’re writing a story and you want to make a Jewish character—great! I’m here to help. I always want more Jewish representation but I want good Jewish representation, so this is my attempt to make a guide to making a Jewish character. What are my credentials? I’m Jewish and have been my whole life. Obligatory disclaimer that this is by no means comprehensive, I don’t know everything, all Jews are different, and this is based on my experiences as an American Jew so I have no idea, what, if any, of this applies to non-American Jews. 

If there’s anything you want me to make a post going more into detail about or if there’s anything I didn’t mention but you want to know please ask me! I hope this is helpful :) Warning, this is long.

ALSO! do you know how many fuckers have fucking cheated on their partners? A fuck load. You know this right? It’s not some great, mystical feat. He didn’t fuck a unicorn. Unlike Katherine the Great. I’m sorry that was a bad history joke. Or, I think it was funny. You’d get it if you weren’t an idiot. Are you an idiot? Oh right, you are. We covered this in my last one of these, didn’t we? I thought me did. Well, let me restate this. You’re an idiot.  you’re  welcome. Have a nice fucking day. 

Slutshaming women is not ok Slutshaming Alexander Hamilton is totally ok Tumblr logic

Didn’t want to derail the last post I reblogged (about Serbia), so I’m making my own)

! I know only like 8 people follow me but like if 8 people find out about an issue they didnt know about then I think that’s great tbh

OK SO

another country with a heap of problems right now is Belarus. I’ve reblogged posts about it before and yes I’m refusing to stop cause I see nothing about it anywhere.

Belarus has had the same president since 1994. Since he came into power, the country hasn’t had a SINGLE FAIR ELECTION.

Covid-19 has caused many problems there. The country still hasn’t imposed any official measures. The president has been quoted as saying ‘I don’t see any viruses here’ and the country has had horrendous amounts of cases, I’m not even sure if the figures are accurate, they could be fabricated.

There is an election this year. Protests broke out in Belarus because of the imprisonment of the president’s strongest competitors in the election. Random people have been arrested off the streets and the police have been violent.

The worst part is that there’s very little media coverage.

Please reblog this, or at least research the topic it would mean a LOT

A career for a career - Megan Fox deserves to have hers back. Michael Bay deserves to be blacklisted, something he had no problem doing to her when she exposed him for his awful, predatory behavior.
