when people like your OCs it is truly one of the best feelings ever. but when they also UNDERSTAND your OCs??? When they say or do something that just makes you go "oh they get it." UNBEATABLE.
Despite approximately 200,000 years of evolution, humans are still completely vulnerable while they sleep and lack any sort of defensive mechanism.
The defense mechanism is community you self centered prick
the action this person took is bad because it's directly harmful and exploits and leverages their social capital "also they're cringe" not what I said "adults who like cartoons are always shitty" no they aren't "their artistic tastes reflect their bad morals" I don't believe that is the case "typical tenderqueer" I honestly just think you're being homophobic "mid 30s polyamorous neurospicy kinky asexual picrew icon fanfic writer" do you even care about the bad thing they did or are you just using this as an excuse to make fun of people you don't like
im going crazy you have GOT to decouple romance/amatonormativity and marriage in your mind. you have GOT to understand that marriage is a legal document that protects you from exploitation especially if you are a woman or a stay-at-home anything. it is not some evil unique to heterosexual people. it is a legal document that says 'this is who i want in my hospital room when i die, this is who i want to have my stuff when i die, THIS PERSON OWES ME RECOMPENSE IF THEY KICK ME OUT OF THE HOUSE I LIVE IN"
what timeline is oop tweeting from because in the one i live in kill-em-all kier appointed a right-wing christian health secretary who apologized for every having called trans women women, banned trans youth healthcare, and regularly expresses support for transphobic activists and conversion therapy groups. the only reason he's not 'for sale' is because he'll do it all for free -- the labour right all already genuinely believe the exact same shit as JKR!
me whenever I see posts about how canon is shit and can be discarded
re: everyone stomping their feet and loudly whining in the notes
You think you're hip. You think you're cool. You think you know something about the world. And then you learn that the river that runs through the Grand Canyon no longer reaches the sea, and like. What do you even do with that knowledge???
(yes, it was human interference. yes, it was/is bad. and sorry to all the locals who learned this stuff in high school, I'm not from the area)
If there are trees you aren’t alone
I can’t tell if this is supposed to be encouragement or an ominous warning
Your First Draft Sucks. If you are constantly trying to plan everything ahead of time for your story, writing will feel like a chore, and you are more than likely to not finish it. But if you take the advice of just start writing without any concrete plans, then you are more likely to finish it. But it is going to suck. It's going to suck a lot. But it's there, you have it written out. That is when you edit it, fix the grammar, remove some things. Turn it into your second draft.
Well, your second draft is also going to suck. But it will suck less. Writing is about editing and editing. What you spend most of your time on, is editing your drafts. And what I think most writers, and perfectionists like me, need to know is that no matter how many times you edit a draft, it will never be perfect. Not saying it will be bad; no, it will be good, but as writers we tend to keep trying to reach that 100% to make it the best thing on the planet. And we lose sight of our original love for the story. Get your drafts to a point that you are happy with.
So, write your bad first draft, turn it into your decent second draft. And before you edit it too much, find peace in that 99.99%.
