tumblr has a bot problem, yet it feels like the only social media platform with actual people on it
Literally
think the algorithm's got an effect on that, since you actually have to tell it what you like (and it'll most likely give you original, human-made content) instead of the dead loops for attention of insta and all other zucc medias
It might be the only sight not full of soulless engagement bait
the tf2 of social media
Cause while it's popular, it's not quite mainstream, so it's not marketable, so it's not corporate.
Blue potion -finish WIPs
Light green potion- desire to write when you sit down.
White potion- 2000 word every day guaranteed.
The rest I can wing. I just wish I could do these
For me it'd be: Blue, Light Green and Orange.
I have a lot of ideas but a terrible working memory.
The other potions become mostly irrelevant to me once I've entered Hyperfixation Mode.
thats literally my exact order as well-- just. LET ME THINK OF HOW INTRODUCTIONS WORK PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE
Same. *SAME.*
I CHOSE THOSE THREE POTIONS TOO :D
No waaaay same
I was tempted on immune to distractions but I feel like these 3 counter-act distractions so it's fine
Thumbnail is so real
Fr
so true
Fr, it’s the most relatable thing I’ve ever read
Literally
Ikr, honestly, so true, not even gonna lie, maybe the truest, maybe the truest of all, but there’s no way to know
I really appreciate that there's fanfic memes that are not specific to shipping fics. As a horror fic writer I'm desperate for memes I can actually relate to
As a magical girl au fanfic writer whose main specialty is taking an obscure franchise and plopping them into a non angsty magical girl universe…yeah. It applies to many different demographics.
Mood. As an also horror(ish) writing, it’s great.
Blue Potion: I have 8 stories I’m working on, and I need to finish them all.
Yellow Potion: Too many things get me distracted.
White Potion: I have so much to put down! I just have a hard time putting them into words
Ability to finish WIPs, infinite grammar skills, and not getting tired of your own work covers most of the potions listed. The rest don't matter.
The ADHDn't potion sounds nice
4:25 is me when I tell a "funny" anecdote, and instead of reacting with amusement, the person I'm talking to is like, "I'm so sorry you went through that."
2000 words every day guaranteed + immune to distraction + ability to finish your WIP is definitely my choice.
Ability to finish WIP, immune to distraction, desire to actually write
I will be unstoppable
"Five years huh? You must be almost finished."
>glances at Ryukuza Quest
>Imperfect Metamorphosis
>El Goonish Shive that has somehow been going SINCE 2002
0:07 me when my computer broke for a week and i magically gained the inspiration to write again :)))))
3:57 I'm writing an original novel, but I write fanfics on AO3 for fun on the side, and AO3 removes my indents when I paste in a chapter, and now, it feels like I have a secret identity.
I'll take the blue potion, the light green potion, and the grey potion.
And with that, off to write the stories I've been procrastinating on for months.
You know you're a real writer that moment you realize *this entire video* is a mood.
I'm writing a book finished the prologue and ended up with writers block. I have it outlined I just don't know how we get there 😅😅😅
Blue - ability to finish my WIPs
Yellow - immune to distraction
Lime - desire to actually write when I sit down
I'm not only struggling with writing my fics anymore, god help me before I flunk all of my grades
2000 words everyday, immune to distraction, and built-in mental thesaurus 100%
Pink potion - Mental Thesaurus
Blue potion - ability to finish WIPs
Black potion - eradicate typos permanently
I'll drink the blue potion three times
You’ll not only finish your wip, but everyone else’s at the same time, lol
@@TheChristianCountess2721 at that point I'm gonna open a commission. For 50 cents I will finish your WIPs. The quality will be very very questionable but at least it will be DONE!
9:17 ability to finish WIP, 2000 words every day, and desire to actually write. I'm actually pretty decent at catching typos and correct grammar, so I can survive without those... but what I really need is the ability to keep an ongoing narrative instead of an interesting first 5 chapters that slowly devolve into fluff and hurt/comfort that's just fanservice (it's me, I'm the fan who wants my blorbo's bf to meet his found family properly and just let them be happy together).
blue, white, and yellow. i have the attention span of an infant and subsequently have a handful of unfinished wips that i'd love to finish
Whenever I have a book idea, I gasp dramatically and immediately plan the chapter, create character designs, getting personalities together, basing my books off my dreams, imagining everything as anime or animated despite being live active, and create a power that’s strong but has massive consequences.
Finish WIP, 2000 words a day, and desire to write we sitting down.
I'll take banish imposter syndrome, immune to distractions, and infinite grammar skillz
blue, grey and lime
DEAR GOD I JUST WANT TO GET SHIT OUT
The username on the thumbnail is the most normal username on tumblr
yeah probably
Yep, average Tumblr username
Is it gay "king slayer"
Or "gay king" slayer?
@@YoCelKreSunt or maybe "gay king, slay"er
5:46 QSMP Richas collecting fathers (he has like 7 dads as of now) and that Badboyhalo stream where he took care of 6 kids. My blorbos❤
6:40 no, that's literally me. I started writing a joke-fic about some game on Roblox and it turned into a epic length novel that would be a perfect original story if not for the fact it relies heavily on the concept of this one Roblox game.
With the potions, I would like blue, orange and purple
6:40, but of that, it’s “making a one-shot that readers end up wanting more of, and now I somehow ended up with trying to write seven more chapters to make them and myself happy.”
It worked out because I ended up liking the AU just as much as my readers.
I missed the live chat, but still caught the premier. I would take the same potions as you, though I was eyeing the green one, but making progress guaranteed would probably make the imposter syndrome more manageable.
At 3:22
Depends, depends, yes. Third one ALSO depends on where the person has been stabbed; if, for example, the internal thigh vein has been cut, you *won't* have much time of consciousness.
I love how everyone picks the blue potion because we all have a difficult time actually finishing our WIPs
id take finishing WIPs, 2000 words a day and the desire to write. Those are the only things that hinder my writing
6:39 funny how the first always just melds into the second and continues to grow like mould on wet bread (the quick original short story idea-that would have taken a couple weeks-has morphed into a multi-novel series nearly 5 years in the making with many more years left to go)
also orange, blue and light green (because that would also cover yellow)
Desired to actually write when you sit down, I NEED THAT
The thumbnail meme was so relatable...I love long sentences, no matter what I'm writing. Yesterday in history class I wrote a single sentence consisting of seven commas and 68 words.
2:05
I'll have you know my seventeen-clause sentences are always the best ones.
At least I have an excuse for the latest one because my character is absolutely panicking
Green - Banish imposter syndrome. Grey - Never get tired of reading my own works. Black - Eradicate typos forever.
Thank you. I just got an idea watching this.
I always get so called out by these vids...love it.
jokes on you! I merge all of the potions into three and then drink them!
I'll take actually finish wips, immune to distraction, and actually writing after sitting down.
3:48 just wrote probably my first ever proper fight scene and it turned out pretty good ‼️
9:17 orange, blue and white, that would literally make me the perfect author in my situation, as I'm good with the rest, fock perfect grammar, i just want to finish my TFP fanfic :c
Edit: omg you chose the same! Yasss, fistbump!
4:38 Because if they can't be gay in canon I will make my silly little furry bastards be gay in my prose
9:22 definitely blue, white and yellow. I get distracted so easily, and never actually write the stories in my head, let alone finish them, so these three potions would be my saviors if I had them.
Blue, green and yellow here lol. I mean who's declining blue
Pink, red, and white.
Please, dear universe, I simply want my writing to sound decent for once
desire to write when you sit down (because sometimes I'm too tired to even want to write), banish imposter sindrome, remember all of your worldbuilding (because once I start to actually write, I have to read all my notes again)
Blue (ability to finish WIP,) orange (Marketable Ideas,) and light green (desire to write when writing) would be amazing. Like, the orange one means I can figure out how to market my stuff when I’m done with it!
5:09 i was not expecting to be called out so precisely like that hahaha ^^;
On a definitely, totally unrelated note, I'll be drinking the Ability To Finish Your WIP potion, the Infinite Grammar Skillz potion, annnnd the Banish Imposter Syndrome potion.
Stupid, pesky imposter syndrome 😡
5:41 Both are present in The Owl House. The kid is Hunter and the parents are both Camila and Eda.
Finally, someone mentioned it!
I frickin love The Owl House so whenever I stumble across that post again, that's exactly what my brain thinks about :)
I definitely need the WIP finishing, not getting tired of my writing and to eradicate typos, that's just so embarrassing
Blue, lime and either yellow or orange. So many good ideas for stories that I'll never write an ending to or never start to write at all.
Pink, red, and black for sure. Everything else is manageable enough. I'd be unstoppable!
Lime - desire to actually write when you sit down (it's my biggest weakness)
Grey - never get tired of reading your own work (it prevents me from actually publishing my work)
Red - infinite grammar skillz (repetitiveness is my problem)
English is my fav class, last year my teacher went over what we were going to do for the year....
When I found out there was no creative writing I cried at the end of the day.
Orange- remember all your world building
pink- built in thesauraus
blue- ability to actually finish your wip
blue, yellow and white. Blue is a must need, yellow can technically apply to real world stuff other than writing so its a win, then white because dude i need that so much. Maybe one day my wip would actually be able to be finished and presented to the world one day
Potions I choose:
1. Ability to finish my WIP
2. Immune to distractions
3. Infinite grammar skills
Green-Blue-Lime
The confidence to do it paired with the focus to achieve it? yes please
I love your videos. I like how you keep the dialogue clean. Keep up the good work!❤
I would want the grammar skills, 2000 words everyday, and the desire to write when I sit down
Orange, blue, and, I'ma say, acidic green, after lots of debate on the last one.
Either way, always love your stuff, tonka joey. Brings a smile to my face every time.
5:52 - "One adult who can't stop getting emotionally attached to kids." Plo Koon and the Clones.
My favourite one to say is “I tell her everything” like no I just wrote that in INSANE detail like one chapter ago not again, not a chance
Blue, White and Lime potions... My greatest enemies are my WIPs
Blue potion - finish WIPs
Light green potion - the desire to write when you sit down.
Orange potion - Remember world building
Pink, built-in mental thesaurus: so I don't have to cry internally everytime that I'm editing my drafts and I don't have the internet to search something up
Red, ultimate grammar skillz: more or less the same reasoning as the previous option
Blue, ability to finish your WIP: I have way too many, please-
YESS!! I was waiting for the next entry in this series!
9:14 I choose
"Ability to finish your WIP"
"2000 words every day guaranteed"
"Marketable ideas"
this entire video made me laugh, I love it!!
Distraction immunity, desire to write when sitting down, and WIP finishing would be my choices.
I mean seriously, I desire to write WHENEVER I sit down at my computer? Now that’s just OP
9:00 I gotta go with marketable ideas, coherent first drafts, and 2000 words every day. Publishing deal here I come! Though built in mental thesaurus is tempting.
5:52
first one is apollo 'don't talk to me or my dad or my dad or my dad ever again' justice
ill take banish imposter syndrome, ability to finish your wip, and 2000 words every day guaranteed thank you
I would absolutely kill to be able to finish my wips, gimme three doses of that blue potion. Instead of finishing wips, I stuff them under the floorboards where their judgmental empty pages slowly thump against the wood and drive me mad.
I'm gonna go with "actually write when you sit down". 9:17 that has been the bane of my existence and the one of my readers lmfao
My three potions: Finish my WIP, infinate grammar skillz, and remember all of my world-building.
I need them, give me them!
Blue, Deep Red and White.
Honestly blue and white together are like the things you need for finishing shit
9:17
Banish Imposter Syndrome, have Coherent First Drafts, and Eradicate Typos Permanently.
8:24 that literally happens to me with a character i really like but it's hated by 99.9% of my fandom, but ironically in my fandom there's a character that's killed billions, destroyed his planet and has waged a war for more than 6 mil years, yet he does deserve a redemption, and tons love him, while the former character deserves all the suffering even tho he's just a secondary af villain that didn't kill anyone on the whole serie (unliked aforementioned loved villain) and we know basically nothing about
So that's why i have taken into my own hands to give a redemption arc to the dude, he's also getting a tragic backstory and a found family that he loves, cause he deserves it damn it!
Lime, White and Red please... i need all of those... oh boy..
pink, blue red. as an ESL speaker, vocabulary and grammar always have their ways to hinder my works.
and I googled the meaning of 'hinder' to double check after posting this, great!
There are two wolves inside of you. One wants to write about dark and nuanced things, like immortal dragons spawned from natural disasters that have trouble controlling their power. The other wants to add shrek references and name the earth mage with rock powers Dwayne.
I don't even write that often but some of these are just so relatable
orange - remember worldbuilding
white - 2000 words
lime - desire to write
i would pick purple, dark green and blue tbh, have always been pretty good at grammar and i don't get tired of reading my own work so those aren't really a problem for me, a lot of the time it's just getting my mind to stop being mean to itself lmao
am currently kinda down about my writing, about how the venn diagram things i want to write and the things other people want to see are circles in two different rooms most of the time, but honestly watching this and seeing other people have the same kinds of struggles as me made me feel a lot better
White (2k words every day), Yellow (immune to distraction), and Chartreuse (desire to actually write when you sit down)
With all those three, nothing can stop me. Guaranteed consistent progress every day, I can lock in beyond that, and every time I sit down to write I'll actually enjoy it rather than forcing myself to hit my daily words. If I've got that going for me, it's easy to finish WIPs. I already enjoy reading and editing my own work, and I've never had a problem with grammar (unless that would extend to writing in other languages lol)
Banish imposter syndrome, infinite grammar skills, eradicate typos permanently
blue potion - able to finish WIPs
orange potion - remembering all my wordbuilding
white potion - 2000 words every day
I'd pick the 'Ability to finish your WIP' potion, the 'Desire to actually write when you sit down' potion and the 'Eradicate typos permanently' potion. The last one is purely because I am rereading an old fic of mine and found so many typos I had to fix most chapters.
If not for that I'd have picked the 'Remember all of your world building' potion.
My potion choices would be:
Blue - ability to finish your wip
Light green - desire to actually write when you sit down
Yellow - immune to distraction
I’ll take dark green potion, light green potion, and the yellow potion
PLS I NEED MOTIVATION
The thumbnail is so real. My brain loves commas ive been trying to use less.
my potions:
blue - ability to finish your wip
yellow - immune to distraction
green - desire to write
yellow and green combined have basically the same effect as the white one and who cares what the first drafts look like, if you actually *finish* the thing that includes editing!
I think the ones I'd pick are:
#4. ability to finish WIPs
#10. immune to distraction
#11. desire to actually write when I sit down
6:46 I have a fic that started as a ooo angsty one shot. Then I decided to have character process the trauma. Then I decided to make it a whole Shakespearean tragedy.
I also picked exactly blue/orange/white and experienced quite the shock when you said your pick lmao
9:12 Built-in Mental Thesaurus, Remembering All My World Building, and No More Typos
