30. this is my multi-fandom blog but a lot of the time I forget it. my current obsessions are- bucky barnes (cap movies, etc), star trek (reboot), the goldfinch (boreo just kill me now tbh), not me getting too into bridgerton season 2 馃檲, talk to me about your writing process/art !!!
thinking more about authorial insecurity in fiction... it truly is frustrating to me when an author is clearly ashamed of their own premises, or is preemptively responding to imagined criticism. this is where you get a lot of unfunny humor about how stupid genre conventions are and how Unrealistic fantastical/speculative elements are. like ultimately the reason that authors undercut and overexplain their own works is because they're insecure about audience reaction and want to get ahead of the haters by proclaiming that they're Not Cringe. this will not work because I, the ultimate hater, will eventually find them and make one million posts about how much I despise irony poisoning
