The novel ones are all real situations in my novels by the way, the screenwriting one are complied from friends and my own experiences.
Funnily enough, I actually prefer writing screenplays because of the limits. My novels are fantastical magical other worlds with dragons and sorcerers, but my screenplays are mostly realist family comedy-dramas.
(Except the Baby’s First Steampunk Horror and The Mystery Series Set in an Asylum For Were-People, but they’re exceptions)

you see. a lot of people on this site have started to use “broke containment” when any post gets popular outside of their circle of friends, but its original use was when it was a vague fandom post (usually supernatural) gets reblogged by people outside the fandom
anway I got whiplash noticing op’s url and realizing this was about gabriel agreste from miraculous ladybug
RATING: NOT CUTE!
that italian man is showing clear signs of distress. you can see his e-
"birds aren't dinosaurs" ❌ wrong, misinformed, way too common
"all vertebrates evolved from fish, and are therefore technically fish" ✅ mischievous, technically true if you look at it from the right angle, demonstrates how cladistics work
"whales are fish but not for the reason you might think" 😈 this is funny to me specifically
Whales technically being fish is the funniest about face evolution has given us
there's no such thing as a fish, but all mammals are fish, and whales are fish because they're mammals
once the magic spell starts taking place, then yes
Oh god…..I can already feel the spell taking effect……………………………………..I can…………………feel the fish flowing through me………………………………….
O-Oh god…………………what is…………………happening to me……………….?
That's not the kind of fish you are ;)
Try this on instead, it might fit better:

[ID: a tweet from @zackfrommyspace reads: “yooo sorry can’t hang tonight i gotta wake up tomorrow morning” //End ID]
yes yes you’re very beautiful. Bewitching, even. AWFUL parking job, by the way
this was a great read. “Laziness Does Not Exist” by Devon Price
freshman year of college I (a simple lesbian) met a gay dude and we instantly clicked and started talking about our childhoods and stuff and discovered we were born in the same hospital on the same day so we became each other's beards and watched hentai together every weekend
That sentence started and ended in very different places
obsessed
she's 100% correct btw and a lot of you are one carefully-worded pitch away from chucking away every ounce of autonomy your forebears threw themselves under cars and racehorses to grant you
She deleted these follow-up tweets to the one above, but yeah she's absolutely right all the way around.
reminding myself that having unreciprocated feelings for people again and again doesn't mean I'm worthless, it means I'm resilient. after all the affection I’ve given, I still have more to give. optimism is never embarrassing. love is never wasted.
I feel like a good shorthand for a lot of economics arguments is "if you want people to work minimum wage jobs in your city, you need to allow minimum wage apartments for them to live in."
"These jobs are just for teenagers on the weekends." Okay, so you'll use minimum wage services only on the weekends and after school. No McDonald's or Starbucks on your lunch break.
"They can get a roommate." For a one bedroom? A roommate for a one bedroom? Or a studio? Do you have a roommate to get a middle-wage apartment for your middle-wage job? No? Why should they?
"They can live farther from city center and just commute." Are there ways for them to commute that don't equate to that rent? Living in an outer borough might work in NYC, where public transport is a flat rate, but a city in Texas requires a car. Does the money saved in rent equal the money spent on the car loan, the insurance, the gas? Remember, if you want people to take the bus or a bike, the bus needs to be reliable and the bike lanes survivable.
If you want minimum wage workers to be around for you to rely on, then those minimum wage workers need a place to stay.
You either raise the minimum wage, or you drop the rent. There's only so long you can keep rents high and wages low before your workforce leaves for cheaper pastures.
"Nobody wants to work anymore" doesn't hold water if the reason nobody applies is because the commute is impossible at the wage you provide.
but those are just my thinkies (cute way of saying thoughts)
