Need more authors having their characters that refuse to be put through a traumatic situation to 'prove' themselves or just because they don't want/have to.

#more characters that have autonomy over their choice like 'yehhh nah i aint gon do this fam' and yep thats it. thats all. move on thanks! #imagine if sherlock went 'nah you have to do this! you have to be the one 😔' #and by autonomy i mean its respected! tired of 'but you must do this' bullshit like they rlly dont tbh you just projecting some weird shit #go do it yourself if u want so badly - leave this character alone 💀 #sherlock & co #sherlock and co #mariana ametxazurra #but its relevant to #writing #fiction #novels #authors

Karen: LMAO every guy I meet reminds me of my big brothers that's so funny except if Paul is already my brother and you're also a brother that's a bit awkward, huh Hot bartender: THATS MOVING REALLY FAST AND I LIKE YOU AS A PERSON BUT - Karen: having my brothers date would be SO WEIRD Hot bartender: Well on the bright side I literally cannot speak more than five words to him so we aren't dating because he's so cute

(Everyone else: that is somehow the most depressing bright side we never want to hear)

#my characters #oops i fell in love #I just think its really funny how i view so many of the cast as either the only child or #somehow still the only child but with twin cousins that he grew up with somewhat like siblings but is older than them #and then THESE TWO LOSERS (beloveds) are definitely younger siblings #there is no way Karen developed her personality without the help of older brothers #there is also a very funny and agonizing thing where she is super single cause she can't view a guy as more than a brother #she meets an asshole and is like wow just getting huge brother vibes from him wtf #and meets the nicest man possible and is like HOW IS HE ALSO LIKE A BROTHER I WILL NEVER LOVE ROMANTICALLY #and she has all of the guy friends and its very clear if they were interested she has long since friendzoned them #but its fine because they all are also convinced that shes exactly what it would be like to have a brother #so its fine its all good no one really agonizes over not romancing her and she just as a found family in everyone #hi my name is salmon and you may recall my feheroes experience where i want to give a certain male all of the siblings #the sibling adopter extraordinaire ? yeah thats basically karen now that i think about it #you know one time at work at my first job there was a girl who had a crush on a guy and we all worked the same shift a lot #and one day she was whining because he was so friendly to me and he looks at the girl straight faced and says #ITS BROS BEFORE HOES aint that right and im like uh huh sure thats exactly right #and later i told him i really wanted to know where she went wrong because i had a crush on him in school until he opened his mouth #and hes like yeah sucks to wanna date me you made the right choice #and i just ..... will never forget that weird guy #he saw me in a hoodie once and goes NO WAY I HAVE THE SAME ONE and then makes sure he brings it in next time we work together to prove it #he was like an annoying younger brother to me and i thought it was very funny that apparently i too am a sibling to him #i might be adopted and i might be biased but i think everyone could use an adopted sibling that they dont live with #thats a special bond ok im just sayin #also sorry its so late tonight i had some uhhhhhh problems haha

“i dont wanna be a soldier i dont wanna go to war” bitch you live in switzerland...u know....the country known for its NEUTRALITY ??? what are you going to war with. common sense ? 😐 😐 🙄

I will read the most inane and useless stuff for hours just for my own interest/enjoyment, but reading academic papers is like pulling a tooth 😭😭 like I genuinely think I'd find the info interesting but the fact that ik it's in pursuit of doing an assignment somehow manages to kills my motivation 100%

#step 1. you pick a research topic you find genuinely interesting #step 2. you have to research and read papers abour this topic. hey dont you remember you find this interesting?? #i just remember going on deep dives learning about random historical figures #but absolutely god forbid i read anything in the pursuit of actual schoolwork #i think its mostly that i feel constantly under duresss when im reading it yknow? #all i can think is: im going to have to write something about this #lol just need someone i can blab to about politics and maybe it would actually work out for me #but ugh yeah theres just such a palpable difference btwn reading smth for enjoyment and reading something 'for work' #here is an example! #in my one class i think my prof put The Prince as a reading #i didnt even look cause im liek yeah i aint reading all of that #fast forward a year later: oh my god! i wanna read machiavelli so bad! i wanna feel intellectual 🥰🥰 #literally bought myself a copy of it ..... #i think im too self aware. id like to remove all sense of context from my brain #literally spent hours today watching documentaries that are actually pretty relevant to my one course #<- but note. they werent FOR my course. i was just doing ir for fun! i wanted to learn!! #but if i got assigned a hour and a half docu for class....that shit would not be getting done #ugh yeah anyways i have two research papers this sem #and its so fucking annoying bcs its so open to my choices. like here. you can pick smth you find genuinely interesting #and you guys literally witness me constantly learn info and want to apply it #but the thought of having to write a paper for school(god forbid) literally keeps me awake at night #its just yeah. wish i could remove that particular barrier from my brain #bcs some of the things i do for fandom are literally borderline research papers #like. read and research a bunch. write about it to other people. apply the info(in fic/drawing/meta) #and really the topics are not so different from my actual coursework #but when i contemplate having to research and write for school it just flatlines my brain #need to start forcing people to watch me borderline seminar so that it feels more fun and in-line w what i do on here #the fernando card post???? practically a research paper. god. my brain is so bad #catie.rambling.txt

My MC Sawyer and @night-market-if Hazel

Truly cannot recommend the Night Market IF enough! The story makes me feel like I'm in a dream and when the MC meets Hazel - it gave me the Howl's moving castle feels and now I'm tucked in tight for the ride.

#if you dont stop being kind to me #i will fall in love with yous #this is The Scene when Sawyer is like #and one thing about Hazel she aint never gonna stop being kind #but ITS NOT THAT SIMPLE GUYSSSS OMG #Hazel's got as many secrets as she got flowers in the garden!!!!! IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN #i cant help myself i always have a soft spot for the sweetest of characters #anyway #play night market if #night market #choices game #if games #my art

[counterfeitphantoms]

gonna be straight-up how PW is calculating points is horrible! you can get way more rounds done on one team but then folks who finished less rounds on the other gets more points/candy bc everyone teamed up to choose the same team

#jamblr #aj #animal jam #and also the teaming sucks a bit too. aint even for lore or personal choice #its just bc everyone wants the saphs from selling chests #why . is it a competition then?? yall.

[n4talia-chaparro]

so um

I asked mika_kit if we could be friends via DeviantART

And now I'm feeling so ashamed that I'm about to block her and pretend that nothing happened

BUT I CAN'T

SHE SEEMS TO BE A COOL PERSON 😭😭😭😭

Her?! 💀 I mean I would block her ass and never interact with someone like her if I were you--

After all, she was called out for sending her underage fanbase to harass someone over a troll account, and..."interesting" accusations idk. Some were true, some may be misunderstanding

#i mean i dont recommend being her “friend” but its your choice and i aint stopping you #ehhh alri-- lol

[squorttle-pox]

"I've made my choice and..." (from Poison) is SUCH a toxic line from Angel I feel like it really encapsulates the crux of Val's influence/manipulation/treatment of him. We need to talk about this more

#in this ted talk i will- #no but i could go on abt it forever #like??? #he made his CHOICE #????? #and he has to STICK WITH IT #???? #bro this aint lulu land its DElulu land #hazbin hotel #hazbin #angel dust #my poor baby spider man and his stinky old moth man boss #valentino

[constantvariations]

Yknow, sometimes I wonder if the anti rwde crowd knows what Doylist Analysis even is

You have so many takes about how Adam was always an abuser because of this scene, or Ironwood was always evil because of that foreshadowing, or etc etc etc, but these people fail to consider what these things mean in the broader scope of narrative and authorial intent

What does Adam being an abusive partner bring to the themes of racism and methods of resistance, if any at all? Does Ironwood’s fall from grace challenge our protagonists in any meaningful way or is it a cheap scapegoat for the writers who still have no idea what to do with Salem?

Once you start dissecting the show, it's very easy to see the methods and ideology behind its creation. That's the beauty of badly written media - its tracks are much easier to follow and trace back to the roots

And the roots of this show just happen to be ill conceived at best and downright malicious at worst. It's not personal towards the writers or characters or whatever to notice these things, it's just... how it is

#rwde #i chose adam and ironwood as examples solely bc theyre currently being talked abt it the tag #but honestly that example list could have gone on forever #like wtf does jaune bring to the table that cant be offered by literally anyone else? #and at this point i do mean LITERALLY #id take a fucking sentient dustpan over his overhyped ass any day of the week #but its so obvious that many choices in rwby arent made for the good of the narrative or even for the rule of cool #its done bc the writers dont think beyond a first draft and never listen to any of the criticism they absolutely should #'oh the faunus plot is racist? uhhhh double down on it then hard left into domestic abuse to distract the white liberals' #'nora need her own arc? sure... make 90% of it a coma then have her distance herself from ren #'as tho she weren't the one shoving her tongue down his throat against his consent' #'oh bury your gays is bad? shit wish we'd confirmed that one dead guy as gay since he was so popular #'but this other popular guy people think is gay that we know we're gonna kill off... yeah let's gaybait him' #this got off topic real quick but its such a personal annoyance like??? how you gonna have my dream job and be fucking up this bad?????? #you aint even gotta be GOOD you just gotta be DECENT. bare fucking MINIMUM. motherfucking BASIC #UGH

[the-tiniest-demigod]

can we change the little mutuals thing to say best friend

methinks thats much more accurate

#like if you're my mutual you're my best friend #there is no negotiation to this #its like a wedding ring til death do us part #if im dying you dying aint no choice /ref

[lexa-griffins]

Bro, tbh, how do you deal with the trolls on AO3 when posting clexa?

It doesn't seem to matter what kind of story I post, there's always a rabid hater. Trans Lexa is a fedish, Trans Clarke is erasing Lexa's lesbianism, Clarke having past relationships, is her being a whore, Lexa having a abusive father is taking away from her being a strong character.

It honestly takes away from the joy of writing when the only type of comment I can depend on, is one saying I'm a shitty person for writing such a story.

Oof, sorry you're dealing with the trolls buddy 😞

My advice for troll/hate comments will forever be to not respond and delete them. They do not want to try and see the other side or even understand the basis of dont like dont read and let people write whatever the fuck they want. Misery loves company and truth be told the trolls going around are a bunch of pathetic transphobes and biphobes, they seem to get off on pissing off writers, they want attention, and they want to try and get you mad enough to delete the things you worked hard on. I know its very much easier said than done, but when i get hate comments i see them as a toddler throwing a temper tantrum. Its funny, in a pathetic way. Like those poor things really can't rub 2 braincells together and make a coherent argument that isn't "bi woman whore, lesbian strong and never suffers, dick is man vagina is woman". I wouldn't take valid writing criticism from a toddler so i sure as hell aint taking it from trolls with no reading interpretation skills.

I can totally understand how its absolutely unmotivating to get those comments. Ive seen a lot of recent fics be deleted because of them and its disheartening seeing how not only are people commenting less but how at this point posting a fic in the fandom needs to come with a warning of how you might get hate comments from a puritan shithead who believes themselves some sort of savior of the shit when in reality they are just helping kill a fandom. Im sorry that i dont really have any other advice for you, but if there is something i recommend is the no engage/delete comments. They might get tired, they might not. But the truth is that getting a response will always, always make them come back because they now know they can hit a nerve.

But please, dont let them stop you from writing what you like and makes you excited to create. If all they want is sanitized fics where characters are nothing but a one-layered piece of paper with family friendly romance and no conflict then perhaps they should not be in a grown-up space that isn't 100% tailored to them.

#letter opened #bigg1999 #speaking for myself i got enough insecurities about my writing by my lonesome #but they are mine i aint letting some rando on the internet tell me what i write isnt good because its not what they like #i used to be terrified of getting hate comments #but the more you take a steo back and realize just how stupid they are #and how genuinely miserable someone has to be to make them #it just makes you laugh and feel pity #but i am not a therapist so they can go and deal with that away from my comment section #they can go argue with the mirror maybe theyll find someone with the same dumb opinions there #sorry this ended up being more ranty 😅 #but truly dont stop writing or feel like you should stop writing what you are just because someone is vocal about not liking it #not because of the writing but because of your story choices #if anything create out of spite! #:)))

Them. Playing Lonesome Road: I'm gonna pick NCR to rule New Vegas

Me:

#ulysses completely validated me on the #how can we move forward as human beings if we cling to old world ideas that have ALREADY proven themselves wrong #like i understand #they offer protection #equality #but in the world of Fallout #going back to the state of pre war is not only impossible but also JUST AS BAD!? #u only have to look at Big MT to see how fucked pre war america is #and i like the idea of MOVING FORWARD #BEGINNING AGAIN #via independent vegas #free of old world lunatics like House #free of people clinging to the ideas and societies of the old world that blew up America in the first place #and obviously fuck the legion because theyre also replicating old world ideas and NOT LEARNING FROM THEM #ulysses isnt justified in blowing up the Mojave BUT he IS right in that NCR isnt a good way forward because we'll just repeat history #i mean THEY DID BLOW UP THE DIVIDE #even accidentally theres an obvious message there in how theyre not the best choice #vegas should belong to the people #even if independant vegas aint the safest set up. #its better than mostly anywhere else in the fallout world thanks to the securitons #went on a rant there but #i think the whole message with the dlcs being about beginning again CAN apply to choosing independence because to me thats the ONLY #viable way of doing SO #fallout new vegas #fnv #ulysses fnv
