Barbie Girl by Aqua is just a woman's confession to dreaming of being a sub.

Superman and Fantastic Four are such an incredible reminder that comic book movies can be vibrant, and fun, and made for entertainment, and nowhere near our doom and gloom Earth 🎥😍

Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning casually becoming one of the best sci-fi movies I've seen. Well done, well done 👏

Using a Ghibli-style AI filter for anything but personal fun is unhinged, pathetic, and speaks volumes of the incompetence of self. Hayao Miyazaki and Ghibli actually made something. You're simply too impotent to matter. Wild.

Last day at work, last day of extreme stress. Now I have 7 days to go viral and live off of made up digital products before starting a new job. Totally possible.

Gandalf casually destroying Sam's life and forcing him to walk 500 miles, then 500 more, AT LEAST, just to marry Rosie. Worst wingman ever.

We've been recording and posting gaming videos as a form of spending more time together for a year now and we just cracked 40 subscribers. Who would've thought people will like listening to a couple banter and bicker while one of them is playing. #gaming

I have nothing to wear, so I asked my SO to name characters for me to adapt into outfits. Today, millennial Snow White goes to the mall.

My fiance reads without consent at me to punish me. It either puts me to sleep or overstimulates me to screaming. There's no in between.

Job hunting must come with free mental health care for introverts. Everything else is just abuse.

AI turning voices into echoes, that's the real threat.

Since blogging is dead and AI ate the SEO, I'll be having a graveyard party on Substack. Come hang out. I'll ramble about storytelling, creative writing, and copywriting.

Please, if you search for reviews, don't ask AI. It didn't spend time or money to read a book, but dares regurgitate people's opinions. Respect our bank account and eyesight.

Feeling hate instead of hope when watching the Superman trailer is a symptom of conditioning so bad you don't even realize you can feel happiness only through hating something. Get help.

Sooooo, Radahn got nerfed again, huh?

Shocked.

Appalled.

When in need of a comfort read, I turn to Joe Abercrombie. Fascinating how blood & gore can soothe general anxiety.

For months, sitting down to write & edit after 8 hours at the office felt impossible. Until last week. Today, I'm doing it again. 30 minutes to flex those creative muscles. Wanna join me? Do you balance a full-time job with writing, or is writing it?

send help. all i wanna do is make my characters smooch each other. but all they wanna do is maybe kill each other.

Burnout made editing my 2nd novel impossible. Building a new rhythm is a daily battle, but I'm slowly turning the tide. Remember - even 10 minutes a day, sometimes just staring at the screen, counts as progress. Right? What's your current writing struggle? Do you even struggle?

Hey there, I'm MK, a writer of books and short stories. Six days ago, I realized I've been burned out for two years. How? I felt genuine, feverish inspiration for the first time in ages. 🫠 What's a fun fact about you?

I'm only concerned about migraines and why are Trilux 030 Fine Faber Castell pens impossible to find.

Could hardly follow the latest Silent Hill's plot, but it made me yelp, so it gets a pass.

Now the question is should I BB my way through the Elden Ring DLC as a strength-faith build, ask for it as a squishy mage, or let the BHF carry me to glory. Decisions, decisions. 🥹
