For absolutely no reason at all today, I will be listing characters whose powers would be convenient for clearing driveways of copious amounts of snow: Steve Rogers Bucky Barnes Peter Parker Hulk Luisa Madrigal Mr. Incredible Hercules (1/3)

Stupid Shit I’ve Once Said: Volume 13 "Anyone can throw an ugly fuck in a Party City bathrobe and call it a villain." (1/5) #humor #funny #quote

I propose that everyone who answers is somehow connected to you in some way--be it through your family history, or some other thread you have to uncover. #prompts #creative #shortstory

Maybe we'd use something else for our lawns, like moss, and grass would just grow wild in fields and forests, like seaweed deposits in the ocean. (And they'd probably be just as terrifying.) #prompts #creative #shortstory

I once saw someone insist you should never use exclamation points in dialogue. Sometimes I wonder how they’re doing #writer #writing #author #book #novel

Is there anyone else out there who likes Rujinu & Zutara, but rejects Reylo & has no intention of ever picking up a Sarah J. Maas book? I can’t be the only one out here

Stupid Shit I’ve Once Said: Volume Twelve "A man who sits on the fence ends up with a splinter in his ass." (my personal favorite of today’s roundup) (1/5) #humor #funny #quote

The implication being that you're fully capable of doing so, in a wholesome, Hallmark-esque twist. #prompts #creative #shortstory #wish

Forests would be...short, I guess? And a lot harder to navigate #prompts #creative #shortstory

I seriously did not just see “traumantasy” advertised as a new trope. Like. Is nothing sacred anymore #writer #writing #author #trope #fantasy #romantasy #novel

My goal for writing may or may not be just to have a physical library of books that I can claim are all mine #writer #writing #author #book #read #novel

Stupid Shit I’ve Once Said: Volume Eleven "If someone committed a crime for a Cheez-It, I would let them off." (1/5) #humor #funny #quote

These would end up making for pretty useless visions, I suppose. I would try and make myself believe in the opposite of what I want, in case that somehow influenced the final outcome. #prompts #creative #shortstory

I am aware life would not change for some of y'all. But in general, would we all have really good night vision? Would the sunlight overwhelm us? And would vampire lore then involve sun-loving creatures that freeze to death in the darkness? #prompts #creative #shortstory

My favorite pastime as of late is to watch people on YouTube review books I’m never going to read #writer #writing #author #book #review

People who are into toxic characters: *get defensive, excuse their atrocities with intense mental gymnastics* People who are into the Transformers: pick ur favorite war criminal lol #transformers

Stupid Shit I’ve Once Said: Volume Ten "When you try a new sandwich and it becomes your identity." (this was back when I had an Italian muffaletta for the first time in my life) (1/5) #humor #funny #quote

Quick PSA for anyone who needs it: Zuko is not a “bad boy,” he’s an abuse victim, and people don’t like Zutara because they think he’s some kind of edgy asshole. Zutara is a normal, healthy relationship (unlike the misogynistic dumpster fire that is Reylo, for example) #zutara #katara

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 🎉🥳 Here's a lil prompt to kick off your 2026 🤔 I hope, unlike your printers, everyone's 2026 is full of bliss and relaxation! And if any surprises come your way, then I hope they're of the extremely welcome kind. #prompts #creative #shortstory

This has wholesome implications--imagine being able to relive beautiful memories. Or forensic; unless dream visits wouldn't hold up in court. Or you could just pettily sort through your memories for receipts when your friend claims they didn't do that thing they totally did.

Time to recycle some Zutara content to scare away people afraid of perfectly benign content. #atla #katara #zuko #zutara

I'm taking a break from the Stupid Shit I've Said series to bring you this meme. It was inspired by my favorite (aka the best) of the old holiday specials. I hope everyone is having a great time, no matter what holidays you do/don't celebrate! And if you're expecting snow soon, stay safe!

I'd add that this depends on how well you can paint. The forces of prophecy need to know what the hell it is you want them to do. #prompts #creative #shortstory

Maybe they're protecting you from bad dreams? Or possibly o t h e r , s c a r i e r monsters? #prompts #creative #shortstory

Stupid Shit I’ve Once Said: Volume Nine "The floor is an ominous place for words." (1/5) #humor #funny #quote

I just realized that if the future thing was the lie, that would mean your neighbor is somehow still you, but from the present-day? Eh, there's probably still some scenario where you could make that work... #prompts #shortstory #write

You could argue electronics already do this (or at the least, printers when you need to print something important). But what if your phone worked better when you were happy? Or your TV tried to comfort you? Or your treadmill wanted you to let the hate flow through you? #prompts #shortstory

“Fantasy books feel so empty lately.” Not indie fantasy. “Everyone’s just trying to rewrite ACOTAR.” Not indie authors. “No one’s writing anything new!” Indie authors are.

Some people view writing as a bakery; and others as pulling together a tray of pastries to have themselves a nice little snack. I’m definitely in the snack camp; but I also like to pass out boxes to the neighborhood, just in case anybody else would like them. #writer #writing #author

Stupid Shit I’ve Once Said: Volume Eight "Be the butt you wanna see in the world!" (1/5) #humor #funny #quote

I'm aware AI programs already do this; but if the answers were always *exactly* the opposite of the objective truth, in some sort of a supernatural way, then you could use that to your advantage. #prompts #shortstory #write

Though I love fandom prompts, I've decided to devote Wednesdays to pure what-ifs, regardless of the subject matter. (This way, I won't have to scramble to think of clever and humorous fandom-related prompts everybody and their mom hasn't already thought of.) #prompts #shortstory #write

The point of a villain should never simply be to be mean. Villains have goals, the same as any other character; they just go about enacting them in much more dickish ways. #writer #writing #villain

Why didn’t Anna just leave the castle to go talk to people? I know she couldn’t have brought anyone back to hang out; but nobody was stopping her from leaving in the first place #frozen #disney

How does Olaf know about summer? He clearly doesn’t just know the word—he goes into detail about accurate and appropriate summertime activities #frozen #disney #olaf

Kinda ironic how Anna was at first 100% trustful of Hans, and Rapunzel was completely distrusting of Flynn #tangled #frozen #disney

Anna and Rapunzel are both sheltered, but in the exact opposite way. Anna has no fear whatsoever, while Rapunzel is ready to bludgeon the first stranger she meets #tangled #frozen #disney
