THE FANART IS SO RIDICULOUS AND GOOD WHAT THE HECKITY FUDGE

I used… a fudging mirror, like, right after I had a shower, I looked at the mirror and decided ‘fack it’ and wrote ‘I’m a bisexual’ in the focking mirror. My mother didn’t freak out so that was p cool.

i honestly still think it’s utter bullshit when people tell you not to use a thesaurus when you write. like, i can understand where that advice would be handy bc just bc the thesaurus says one word is synonymous with another doesn’t necessarily make it interchangeable.

and a lot of times, you don’t need to use super fancy, pretty words to get your point across

but still

i wouldn’t have half of the vocabulary that i do now if it hadn’t been for completely disregarding that advice. i’m just incredibly cautious of what words i want to use, and i always check for examples to make sure i have an understanding of their usage.

and if i’m wrong, then i just don’t use it.

end of story

my advice: use a thesaurus if you want to. always make sure to you understand the word that you’re wanting to work into your writing tho’. and also be aware, that sometimes stopping your writing to check for another word can sometimes disrupt the flow of the story if it takes you out of the “zone” or whatever bullshit.

i’m never in the zone so it doesn’t matter to me but hey
