if i see that "paragraphs longer than 2-3 lines are Bad" post on my dash one more time it'll be my villain origin story

#like i get that overly long paragraphs can be difficult to parse #but there's a healthy middle! you don't need a line break after every fucking sentence! #have any of the people agreeing with that post ever read An Actual Book lmao #or do they just think that all published literature is bad because it isn't written like a buzzfeed article #looking at those marvel movies with cuts every 0.5 seconds and that bullshit advice that every novel needs to start with an action scene #i feel like this is indicative of a general trend though? #where instead of such uncool things as 'crafting a world' or god forbid 'setting up consistent characterisation' #the only purpose of writing is to make sure people don't get bored #sad. #anyway i refuse to cater to tiktok-poisoned teens who can't concentrate for more than 3 seconds thanks #delete later maybe but i just needed to get this rant off my chest #salt
