aplpaca:

that one post about the summer science camp and the kids covered in shaving cream eating the watermelon alien eggs in the middle of the night isnt even surprising.  Like all the comments on it are like “wtf is this” but those people have never been to a summer camp.  As someone who went to one from 8th to 12th grade, summer camps are surreal and just plain weird like

  • that one year where the entire group had an intense obsession with old bay seasoning.  old bay got put on everything. pasta. sandwiches. chips. pudding. a guy snorted it
  • same kid also drank dirty taco dishwater on a dare
  • flies on leashes
  • one of the guys had 4 pairs of decorative boxers.  he shared them with 3 other guys and they wore them over their shorts for at least 3 days.  they wore them in public.  theres a picture of them doing model poses in front of a waterfall wearing fluorescent decorative boxers over their shorts
  • a girl deadpan goes “i am the captain now” and then pushes our counselor out of the raft into the white water rapids.  he was cool with it
  • the 2 guys that shared a canoe and tipped their boat 7 times in 30 min
  • everyone imitates a velociraptor when you cross that specific field on the hike. no one questions it
  • the indestructable piece of firewood that became a minor deity
  • hearing coughing and screaming in the tents at 12 am because someone decided to kill all the bugs on the ceiling of their tent with a 10 second long spray of 40% deet aerosol bug repellent
  • someone put a frog in a kids shower.  he let it stay in there with him.  he kept it for the next 5 hours.  it sat by his bowl at dinner
  • pillow fight using entire couch cushions in a shabby 1800′s log cabin
  • on the last night at camp we go back to the main property where the hotel is. the hotel kitchen has a cookie jar.  we wanted cookies.  so logically, we dressed in all black, put black mesh kits over our heads, grabbed a bunch of pool noodles, and “snuck” up to the half mile to the hotel, dropping to the ground anytime a car passed vaguely in our direction.  we send a kid into the kitchen through a side door.  he is acting as a decoy to get the staff out of the kitchen.  he says he is a guest and cannot find the bathrooms (especially not the one in his guest room). he is still wearing the mock ninja attire.  the last 2 staff leave to show him where the bathroom is in his own room that he doesnt actually have.  everyone else in our group goes into the kitchen to get the cookies. the cookie jar is empty.  we end up taking a half eaten loaf of wonder bread instead.  we run back away from the hotel waving pool noodles in the air holding a loaf of wonder bread.  no one questioned any part of this entire event. 

basically dont underestimate the surrealist hive mind of a small group of people cut of from all social conventions for a week

Explaining your story to a willing ear:

“I really like your story! is there more?”

“When’re you going to write it?”

if someone willingly listens to me ramble about my stories, i get so fucking excited you dont understand

S AM E. Honestly sometimes I think I enjoy discussing it more than writing it 😂

#couldnt resist #my catto #ying
I don't know if this will help you at all, but I've found that the OST of a lovely little game called OFF often really helps me to get into the right mood when I'm writing: for instance, I use Pepper Steak for fast-paced scenes, Unreasonable Behavior for tense scenes, and Avatar Beat for emotionally-packed scenes. Just a suggestion, though.

Ah I’ve heard of that game! I’ve mainly seen a lot of fan art but never played it, the soundtrack sounds nice btw.

I usually listen to a lot of Sigur Rós, How To Train Your Dragon 2 soundtrack, Hamilton and a few Bo Burnham songs like nerds & art is dead.

I think that’s a very nice strategy though tbh. Helps hype up emotions and makes it easier to write for feelsy stuff. Depending on the story I might actually start crying from this strategy.😅

Hey, from one late 90's - early 2000's kid to another, do you remember Sean Kingston? He's the guy who sung Fire Burning and Beautiful Girls.

I don’t know who that is sorry. I’m guessing that’s probably an American man or thing? I’m French and grew up there, but have had some British influences. Unless it was something Uber popular that made its way over seas. “I GOT A FEELING THAT TONIGHTS GONNA BE A GOOD NIGHT” stuff like that 🤔
