This week for #GetToKnowTheRosendeReaders, we meet Rhianna.

#GetToKnowTheRosendeReaders has the only purpose to bring even closer the members of the RosendeReads book club. We read together every week but we barely know each other so every week I will interview one of you by choosing randomly someone on Twitter. You can find all the info about GTKTRR here.

This week we meet Rhianna from London. Thank you Rhianna for taking the time to chat with me, it was very lovely meeting another fellow Slytherin!  

Let’s star with a very simple question: Name, age and where are you from?R: I’m Rhianna or Rhii for short. I’m 23 and from London, England.

Since 2019 just started and the beginning of the new year usually brings with itself positivity and motivation. Did you set up a reading challenge for yourself ? If so, how many books would you like to read this year?

R: I did, actually! I’ve had a Goodreads account for years now and every year they do a reading challenge - I managed to read almost 80 books last year, so this year I’m trying to reach 100…. ‘trying’ being the key word there!

I’m going to quote one of my favorite characters ever “Do or do not. There’s no try.” and it looks like you totally got this, Rhii. 80 books a year are a huge accomplishment so congrats! Still talking about reading… How did you get into reading? Was it something that has always been with you as a child or would you say it’s more of a passion you discovered yourself?

R: Great choice of favourite character! Reading has been something that has always been there, for as long as I can remember. My mum has photos of me aged about 1 or 2 'reading’ newspapers and books, and I would refuse to go to bed unless someone had read me 3 or 4 stories, so the love for books and stories has been there since the beginning. I read by myself in the playground, by torch under the covers in the middle of the night, and then later did an undergrad and a masters degree both focused on books, and I want to be a writer… I might be a bit obsessed with books!

That sounds incredible and i wish you all the best and luck for your future, Rhii! Do you have a favourite thing about reading?

R: Aw, thank you! Hm.. I’d have to say, above all else, the thing I love the most about reading is how easy it is to get lost in it. I love picturing the characters and the setting, and almost…being part of it, I guess? Like you get so immersed and involved in what you’re reading that when you have to put the book down, you struggle a bit to focus on the real world again. It’s just a great feeling that, when things get a bit rough or stressful or you just need a bit of a break, there’s a whole world you can escape to in books.

Definitely. This brings me back to what Alberto said last night: while reading a book, you get the chance to be the main character for a couple of hours, to live their adventure and they almost become your alter-ego for a bit. How often do you happen to read out of your comfort zone?

R: Honestly, it’s so true! I spent so many years living my best life through Hermione Granger as a kid! Still waiting for my Hogwarts letter…. My comfort zone is definitely fantasy, YA or Tudor historical books. Recently I’ve been trying to break out of that and try other genres (apart from horror, I’m too much of a wuss!) and that’s what I love so much about a book club like this, being able to read so many different genres, and books I wouldn’t have even considered before.

Totally true. If it wasn’t for this book club I’d probably read the same books everytime. And speaking of book clubs… how did you find RosendeReads?

R: I’ve been a fan of Shadowhunters since the beginning, and followed the cast on social media. When Alberto made his post on Instagram about starting a book club, I was ridiculously excited!

I could tell! What’s the thing you love the most about RR?

R: For me, what I love most is the community we’ve all built up. Being able to spend an hour talking in real time to people, discussing our ideas and our experiences, and everyone being so supportive and encouraging…it’s just the greatest thing. Someone always picks up a quote or a theme or something that I missed or overlooked, and every live chat, I leave having learnt something new or with a different perspective. Rosende Readers are the best!

So true. Sometimes i don’t even realize i miss something until a member of the book club point it out. It’s like a big puzzle and every member helps putting the pieces together. Do you have a favorite and least favorite book we read in RR?

R: My favourite book that we’ve done so far would have to be either “Tuesdays with Morrie” by Mitch Albom or “The Diary of a Younf Girl” by Anne Frank. “Tuesdays with Morrie” was actually the first book we covered that I’d never read before, and it was one I wouldn’t have really considered reading if not for the book club, and I absolutely loved it. “The Diary of Anne Frank” was a great read, but it was the discussions we had that really puts this as my favourite. It was fascinating to hear the historical context and everyone’s stories they were sharing from relatives. Least favourite… it’s hands down “Catch-22”. Sorry, Joseph Heller…

I think a lot of people feel that way about “Catch 22” so don’t worry, it’s okay! How do you imagine RosendeReads in 5 years from now? How do you see this bookclub growing?

R: Great thing about the bookclub, we all struggle through hard books together. I think the bookclub will still be going strong, covering books from all genres and encouraging more people to read. I think it will be cool in the future to have ways for members to meet up, like at conventions and things. I met a couple of members back in October at Comic Con which was great! It’s nice to put faces to the names you see on the chat. Maybe we’ll have some RR merch by then…

RosendeReads reunions would be so cool! Discussing about books in front of a cup of coffee (or tea, in my case…) face to face and not face to display. That would be really something and yes! RR merch please! Two livechats ago we talked about Hogwarts houses and i feel like at this point they should ask this question in any résumé so what hogwarts house are you and why do you feel like belonging to this one?

R: A person’s Hogwarts house is the first thing you should find out about them after their name! I’m predominantly Slytherin - I’m very ambitious, and determined, and I get unhealthily competitive and ruthless when someone brings out a board game. But I also think there’s some Ravenclaw there. I’m creative and have a huge passion for education and learning, so I guess…Slytherclaw?

Slytherin and Ravenclaw is such a good combination (Also i’m not saying this just because i’m a Slytherin myself but they are the best!) One last question: Do you have any social beside twitter? If so, where can we find you?

R: Always happy to meet a fellow Slytherin! Along with Twitter (@triforceodragon), I also have Instagram (@triforceofdragons) - I’m trying to be good this year and post more…going well so far

[stewystew]

Ok I wrote this all in the tags of another post but I took my adderall for the first time in a week today and yeah sure, it’s worn off by now, but I’m still vibing so here we go!!! (woo this got longer than I thought it was going to be, so I’m putting the read more in)

I’m going to describe a movie to you.

This is a great movie. In one sentence, it’s a super fun found family heist movie with heavy The Devil Wears Prada vibes. which is like. the ideal set of tropes. Are you on board yet?

On top of that, there’s party-crashing, general thievery, fun costume design, an intense rivalry, a fucking choice montage, and it all ends with five friends and their five dogs living happily ever after in the big house that they stole, The End.

This is Cruella (2021). And the rumors are true, it fucking sucked. But because I actually watched it, I can tell you why it sucked, and it’s NOT that her mom got murdered by Dalmatians (at least that’s not the main reason). I can also tell you how it could be fixed.

Cruella is not actually a bad movie. But also, it very much is. (hope this helps <3) Ok. It’s bad because, of course, Capitalism. Literally the movie I described to you? Sounds super fun and great? If Disney didn’t have an obsession with making a quick buck on the back of its classic franchises, that could’ve been what Cruella was. But instead, they slapped an iconic villain on that super fun heist movie, and ruined the whole thing.

You can’t make Cruella De Vil a hero. You can’t. Other villain rewrites work because they swap the hero and the villain, or at least the villain’s atrocities are swapped out for something more understandable. But. A bunch of puppies can’t be evil. And when Cruella’s entire character is about Being Rich and Killing Puppies, you can’t change her motives or her backstory, because then all you have left is her aesthetic. Which isn’t unimportant, but you can’t build a compelling story out of an aesthetic.

But, that’s what Disney chose to do, I guess.

Here’s what happened:

1) Our main character, Estella, is born with the black and white hair (relying on the aesthetic!) (imo this is bad bc either it’s a cartoony Anime Protagonist Hair thing ooh magic. or it’s poliosis, and that’s ehh bc it’s very much framed as like. Symbolic of her ✨inner evil✨. Which is weird for it being a real thing that real people have.)

2) ANYWAY. She’s kind of a mean kid, but mostly very opinionated. We learn this when she calls a shirt ugly (aha, see? She’s into fashion!), and her mother jokes that she should be called “Cruella” instead of “Estella”. So. Now we have the name thrown in. Again, the aesthetic.

3) Blah blah, she adopts a stray dog, she punches bullies, blah blah, she gets kicked out of school, and she and her mother move to the city (she’s like 12 at this point)

4) but *gasp!* before they get there, her mother has to ask a “friend” for help because they’re poor. (So. there goes the Rich part of Cruella’s character. She no longer has anything in common with Cruella De Vil’s villainy!)

5) The “friend”, though, is very rich, and is throwing a party at her mansion (which is on a cliff). The mom goes in, and Cruella follows her. Cruella ends up getting chased by Dalmatians, but they don’t attack Cruella, instead they end up pushing her mom off the cliff. Cruella thinks it’s her fault because the dogs were chasing her.

6) Cruella goes to the city on her own, and meets two other orphaned kids, Jasper and Horace (we’ll call them J&H) (they also have a dog!), and they all live together and get very very good at stealing shit. Then, it’s like ten years later, and she wears a wig to fit in.

7) She catches the attention of a famous fashion designer (The Baroness) because of how good she is at fashion. The Baroness (who owns Dalmatians!) hires her, and now Cruella’s designing clothes for her. Also, the Baroness’s assistant(?) is Mark Strong, so the “Stanley Tucci in The Devil Wears Prada” vibes are very much there.

8) Cruella finds out that the Baroness is actually her mom’s ex-employer and the “friend” she was talking to before she died, because the baroness has her mother’s necklace, which she says her mother stole from her. The Baroness doesn’t know who Cruella is, though.

9) Cruella tries to steal the necklace back (this is the party she crashes!), and finds out that the Baroness trained the Dalmatians to kill her mother. To get revenge, she creates an alter ego where she goes full Cruella De Vil, the iconic black and white hair and everything, and upstages the Baroness by being better at fashion. (Yay double life! Yay rivalries! Yay fun montage!)

10) oof this is getting long. I’ll try to hurry it up.

11) at one point Cruella wears a fur coat and everyone thinks she’s skinned the Baroness’s Dalmatians for it, but she didn’t. Because she would never hurt a dog! *clutches pearls*

12) J&H are mad because her fashion alter ego is mean to them. She says “lol deal with it” but then later she says “oops sorry i love my friends actually” so. she’s not even that mean.

13) The Baroness tries to kill her, she fails. Mark Strong tells Cruella that she’s actually the Baroness’s daughter, and the Baroness had tried to kill her as a baby. Oh, and Cruella has a scene where she’s all “I’m unapologetically evil!” which might have been better if she were actually. You know. Evil.

14) oh, also the gay character is a guy who owns a little clothing store and he and Cruella are friends. He’s not explicitly gay tho, he’s just good at fashion and wears makeup.

15) So Cruella and her friends (J&H, Mark Strong, Gay Character) all go and crash another party for the One Final Score. It’s at the Baroness’s mansion, on the cliff, and they trick the Baroness into pushing Cruella off the cliff in front of a bunch of people and the Baroness goes to jail.

16) Cruella survives because of a parachute in her dress (lmao), and because she’s the Baroness’s daughter she gets all her money and her mansion and her dogs. And then she and J&H and Mark Strong and Gay Character all live in the big house together with their five dogs and are friends forever the end. :)

17) oh, also, Anita Darling, from 101 Dalmatians, is Cruella’s childhood friend and Cruella gives her two Dalmatian puppies at the end as a gift. Which... Would that make the Dalmatian parents in the movie siblings? :(

So now you see. Or maybe you don’t, and that was all completely incomprehensible. Either way, on to the next part!

So, obviously, it would be a much much better movie if it weren’t about Cruella De Vil, Puppy Murderer, and Disney had produced a goddamn original movie for once :)

Now, literally just trimming all the Disney Franchise gunk off the script would work. All that bad cheesy stuff would be gone, we wouldn’t be teased with the slightly-but-not-actually villainous stuff she does, and I wouldn’t have to spend the entire 2 hours desperately trying and failing to separate the movie and it’s dog-loving protagonist from the puppy murderer.

BUT. I will say that the one thing that Cruella was able to properly utilize was Cruella De Vil’s iconicness. Again, the aesthetic isn’t completely unimportant!

So I think it’d be good to maintain that. sue me. My idea is this:

Our Main Character is just some girl. Similar situation to the movie, but she’s named Ann or Sue or something. She reads The One Hundred and One Dalmatians as a child, and because she’s a Weird Little Girl, becomes obsessed with Cruella De Vil and her entire deal. And the movie proceeds in exactly the same way from then on.

Why does this work? Thank you for asking, I’ll tell you!

Disney gets to keep their dumb Classic Franchise money or whatever because we’re keeping the character

All the fun outfits get to stay the same :)

All that stuff I said about why Cruella De Vil can’t be redeemed? Doesn’t matter now that our character isn’t Cruella. We’re still capitalizing on Cruella De Vil’s icon status as an irredeemable puppy killer, but like. Without actually redeeming the puppy killer in question. Yay!

Weird Little Girls are awesome

We get a cute scene where Main Character is trying and failing to dye her hair like Cruella’s (Cruella’s hair is black and white in the book as well!) Her mom comes into the bathroom, sees half empty dye and bleach bottles in the sink, her hair bright orange. Already, I would die for this kid. (ngl this one’s the main reason I’m so attached to this version)

Ooh, this is the fun part. So, the mom gets pushed off a cliff by Dalmatians. I’m keeping this in. Main Character, of course, thinking WWCDVD? (what would Cruella De Vil do?), is like, actively antagonizing these dogs. The dogs chase her, push the mom off the cliff. It’s still not actually her fault, but the fact that she goaded the dogs into chasing her? HAHAHA WE LOVE SOME GUILT!

Oh, you may be thinking, but if she likes to act like Cruella, would Main Character still adopt that stray dog? I give you a quote from Main Character herself, which I’m totally not just now writing on the spot: “Cruella only wants to wear Dalmatians, I can still like other dogs”. Doesn’t that sound exactly like something our Weird Little Girl would say?

Ah, but what about later, when she adopts those Dalmatians? Main Character likes Cruella’s aesthetic and vibes, but she’s also an adult person with her own sense of self and an awareness that killing dogs is bad.

Anyway. Next slide!

I wouldn’t have to think about the Dalmatians at the end being siblings because 101 DALMATIANS DOESNT HAPPEN IN THIS UNIVERSE IT’S JUST A BOOK!!!

I checked, and One Hundred And One Dalmatians came out in 1956 (the movie is set in the 60s and 70s), so the timeline works! Also, hair bleach was safe to use by the 50s, so my scene in number 5 works too!

TL;DR: Cruella (2021) is a found family heist movie, and could be fixed by making the protagonist a normal person who’s favorite character is Cruella De Vil from the book The One Hundred and One Dalmatians

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk it’s 2 am and I’m fucking exhausted

#I do not care if this doesn’t get a single note I had fun writing it #mine #cruella 2021 #cruella #if this is in any way understandable ur welcome I tried very hard. but I also need to go to bed. so. I’ll see y’all in the morning. #10 bucks says I wake up tomorrow and don’t understand a word of it

Overthrowing Anxiety Review – A Method For Yor Anxiety Or Not?

This is Overthrowing Anxiety Review and we hope you enjoy another interesting review from Diziti.

This time, I received an email from Ann, a long time reader of Diziti. Let’s see her story.

“Hi Diziti,

My name is Ann, I’m 46 years old and now I’m living in Texas. This is my first time sending you a letter so I feel very nervous hm… I hope that my letter will get your attention =) As you know, I’m in pre-menopause. Recently, about 2 months back, I have always been tired and worried. I always feel restless without a reason… i had no idea where my anxiety came from and why I usually had to suffer it. The anxiety made me sleepless at night and I was so exhausted during the day.

One day my husband read about Overthrowing Anxiety on the internet. They said that this program can help eliminate anxiety but I don’t know about this program and whether this product will work for me or not. I know Diziti is a product review site that helps readers to have an objective view. So I want to ask you to review and help me with this product.

Thank you very much!! Thank you for the useful review posts in recent times.

Ann Green”

Thanks Ann for trusting and sending me this email. I have read your letter and I decided to write this Overthrowing Anxiety Review to help you check the quality of the product. This Overthrowing Anxiety Review is quite long because I have spent 3 days searching for information and references from various sources. Hope you enjoy it!

What is Overthrowing Anxiety?

Before going into the detailed review of Overthrowing Anxiety, Diziti will tell you what it is first.

Overthrowing Anxiety is an online program which provides you natural ways to control your anxiety from the root cause and help you have a calmer lifestyle. Moreover, through this program, you can determine yourself which type of anxiety you’re having. From Overthrowing Anxiety, you will know main sources of anxiety and the treatments to eliminate it. It discusses alternative therapies, healthy habits and exercises to practice at home.

The program has natural therapies so you don’t need to worry about side effects or something like that. However, you have to work really hard to reach the free-anxiety life gradually.

Well personally, I did not have much faith in this program. Anxiety is a quite common problem in the US and I know that this is a very serious problem. So can a digital book really help you find you causes and treat them? Let’s move on.

Who created Overthrowing Anxiety?

Christian Goodman

The program’s author is Christian Goodman. He is CEO and primary writer and editor at Blue Heron Health News – one of the best national websites of health. This is an online website which contributed lots of natural and alternative measures to modern medical conditions.

Goodman is not an official physician since he is not licensed. I searched all over the web for information but there wasn’t a lot of Goodman’s personal information. However, he seems to have lots of experience in the medical field. He is a highly-recognized natural health practitioner who has dedicated his career to teaching people how they can overcome their health concerns naturally. After being inspired by the iconic bird, he published a health news website on his own and named it Blue Haron.

Christian used to face lots of anxiety problems. But then he researched mass of information and finally he found some therapies which worked well for him. So Christian created this book to share his secrets to more people like him.

With his rich knowledge and experiences in this field, I think this is quite a reputable author. So, can he bring us a useful product?

What are Overthrowing Anxiety’s benefits?

From the oficial video, Diziti found out that you can get 3 benefits from Overthrowing Anxiety.

You’ll receive a set of activities which can help you melt away the anxiety gradually. Some of them are: Daily habits. One-off-actions, Self-care habits, v.v.

You’ll not only improve your physical health but your mental health will be enhanced as well. Mental health plays an important role in our life, if it’s not good, you won’t be productive.

Moreover, the ebook will provide you energy and motivation to live happier and healthier. You will feel that you are full of energy and you can do anything to get the life you want.

If the program really has these benefits, I think this program will be a useful guide book to many people. But if it’s just a scam? Let’s find out in the next part of Overthrowing Anxiety Review.

How does Overthrowing Anxiety work?

Overthrowing Anxiety Table of contents

So how does Overthrowing Anxiety help you improve your physical and mental health? The image above shows you table of contents which is divided into different parts. The whole part 1 will show you very specific causes of the anxiety and part 2 is how you get over it.

First, it will help you determine why you have to suffer anxiety, where it comes from and its consequences.

Then the ebook includes science-based activities to take control of stress hormones to reduce stress and depression.

And the tested methods will treat different types of anxiety disorder like Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Panic Disorder, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder.

The given techniques are said to get rid of kidney failure, liver disease, heart disease and other issues. By applying these techniques, you will restore you mental and physical health.

With the way it works, will this book really bring you the benefits it says? Let’s come to the next section to find out more.

People usually have to suffer anxiety in their lives

What are Pros and Cons of the Overthrowing Anxiety?

After learning the video, I see that Overthrowing Anxiety has 3 Pros. They are:

The program can work with every person regardless of their age or sex.

The author put a simple explanation and clear points so that it will be easier to follow.

The proven methods in this program are risk-free to use in your routine and help you get rid of negative thoughts and stress.

So what are the minus points of Overthrowing Anxiety? Those are the 2 Cons:

This is a digital program so you can not find it at any store in the world. Every step requires an internet connection or international payment card.

You have to stick usually to the program if you want to see your desired results.

What do customers say about the program?

On the official website, I heard a story of Maurine Sandler, a customer of Overthrowing Anxiety. She used to suffer from anxiety attacks for 16 years. She tried so hard to avoid them but you know, anxiety disorder still affected her personal life and her job so much. But after experiencing Overthrowing Anxiety, she received much exciting new information in this ebook and then, Maurine told her journey to find her normal life for people who had suffered from anxiety disorders like her.

Maurine Sandler’s story and feedback

Besides Maurine’s feedback, I also searched for some more feedback from other large sites like Goodread, Quora or Answers. However, I couldn’t find any comments or ideas of other users on this program. I’ll update the customers’ opinions continuously in this Overthrowing Anxiety Review. If you know any comments on this program, either positive or negative, please let me know as soon as possible. I really respect that!

So, I think Overthrowing Anxiety is really helpful and it did help Maurine get over her anxiety problems. It set her free from her 16-year anxiety disorder with simple and understandable guides. It is not overrated when people said that it gave Maurine hope to save her life when she had experienced many ways and just received desperation.

2017 Round-up + All my projects

With 2018 being here and my brain thinking I should sum up and talk about all my projects on Tumblr, I would do, in this challenge of @writingfeedbacknetwork​ , a small Round-Up of 2017 and a sum up of all my projects made in 2017. Well, I didn’t post/write that much (in matter of word count), but I’m still proud of myself for all the progress I made.

Stuff I posted

September 2017 : Favorable changes (General Audiences, Ouma Kokichi/Rantarou Amami / Oumami, 729 words)

Summary : Ouma believes that life is made of changes. For him, most of them were favorable changes. One of them was his encounter with Rantaro Amami. 

My first work posted on AO3, for the Challenge : Transistition and Changes of the Network. I’m still a bit proud of it, even though it was the hypothetic first part of a Hope’s Peak AU I probably won’t continue.

October 2017 : And we all still die (Teen and Up Audiences, no romantic relationships, 989 words)

A songfic about Rantaro’s backstory and life in the killing game. It is also from the Inspired by a song challenge of Writing Feedback Network.

This was also supposed to be related to my NaNo project (a Danganronpa V3 prequel, I will talk about it later) but… Then I realized some things were wrong about Rantaro’s personnality/backstory. I think I will rewrite it one day, when I will rewrite/continue my NaNo.

My NaNoWriMo project : Danganronpa V2

So… yeah. This is the first time I tried NaNo. But I realized I wasn’t motivated enough and, besides, I hadn’t much time (high shcool and other stuff). So I gave up, after one day. Still, kudos to all of you that succeeded to do it.

Then, I realized afterwards that I wasn’t conviced enough by my own project. Some elements weren’t close enough to canon, some others… just didn’t fit in my mind. So, I decided to work again on it. This is still a huge WIP that I need to outline/write.

So, like I explained earlier, this is a prequel of Danganronpa V3, with Rantaro as the co-main character, with an OC. For those who played Danganronpa V3, I think you know what it is about, but I prefer this post to be spoiler free for now.

My other projects/WIP

Fanfics/AU (from the most “advanced” to vague ideas)

Danganronpa AU/Cross-over with Persona 5 : basically the cast of Danganronpa V3 as Phantom Thieves, with Ouma as Akira/Ren/P5 protagonist, Rantaro as Ryuji, Kaede as Ann, and Human/Puppet/Whatever it is hard to explain here!Kiibo as Morgana.

This is probably my last project from December, but I really love that idea.

I’ve already written a part of the prologue (1K) in french.

Some stuff is still vague, but I think I’ll post the prologue and first chapter soon on AO3 (I hope so, at least).

Danganronpa V3 Chapter 3 AU/What-if : /!\SPOILER/!\ IF YOU DIDN’T PLAY DANGANRONPA V3 YET (AT LEAST NOT UNTIL CHAPTER 3) PLEASE DON’T READ IT I DON’T WANT TO SPOIL YOU  /!\SPOILER/!\

So basically : Angie succeed in making the ritual and is not killed, and Rantaro comes back to life.

Will probably include : Everyone is totally confused, Shuichi realizing sooner that Kaede didn’t kill Rantaro, Angie POV, and a totally lost and confused Rantaro.

Based on a Tumblr post I have seen but that I can’t find back.

This is not written yet, but I have some ideas. And I really want to begin to write it someday.

Also, this will be probably the birth of a crackship/rarepair : Angie/Rantaro ? (Yonamami ???)

Danganronpa V3 Hogwarts AU

Well I have some ideas for the Sorting (Ouma going obviously to Slytherin, Kaede going to Hufflepuff, Kaito going obviously to Gryffindor…), but still a vague project.

Danganronpa V3 Superhero AU

Basically the pitch is : what if the Gifted Inmate Academy was an academy fot superpowered kids ? 

I have all the powers for all the cast.

But I’m still confused about what story to tell, if I go in a huge intrigue, or on just ships and happy life.

Consider this as a vague project.

Danganronpa Hope’s Peak Arc : Reversed Au (Spoiler for the first two games I guess ?)

OH YEAH I HAVE NEARLY FORGOTTEN THIS ONE

So basically : Naegi is the mastermind, and the 78th class are brainwashed to be the Remants of Despair.

There’s also some personnality swap elements : for example, Togami is nicer than in canon, and his dad is actually the Headmaster of Hope’s Peak Academy, instead of Jin.

Also some random stuff : Junko became the Izuru Kamukura equivalent in this, Nagito is not hope-obsessed (Chiaki is instead), Toko is not Genocider Syo (Sonia is instead, because what the hell not ?), and Mukuro and Sonia as Ultra Despair Girls.

Well this is basically my main ideas for the fanfics. I also want to write for Persona 5, Harry Potter (I have still my Beauxbâtons/Durmstrang headcanons back from middle school), and of some other fandoms (BNHA, LWA, BMC, Les MIS…), but well, as you could have guessed, I have fallen in love with Danganronpa (particularly V3). Also count my Danganronpa V2 as a fanfic project.

Original content

To be honest, I have a bit given up my OCs and original stories for fanfics, but I still love them, and have another project in mind.

Triapolis (Title is still a WIP)

So, to explain simply : Nina Rosenberg, the daughter of an asshole supervillain, goes to a superhero school, fights supervillains and falls in love.

I’ve begun to write it, I even drew Nina and some others.

But well, like I said, I have a bit abandoned this story.

I still want to write it but I’m not as passionned by it as before.

I have no idea for the title but well : 

So basically this is about best friends from a french catholic high school trying to fight spirits of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.

I have so much ideas for the main characters, and I want to develop them a lot. 

But well I’m still a bit confused about the plot.

Well that’s it ? I’m sorry I didn’t talk too much about my orginal stories, but I still love my OCS and I want to write about them.

Someday if I have finished one of this project I will reblog/update/edit/whatever this post, and I’ll try to talk more about my projects on tumblr.

Once again, thanks to @writingfeedbacknetwork to the support !

Hey, I am totally Neuro typical but I have an autistic oc. I was wondering if you would give me advice on what you would like to see in media if I ever get published. He ISs is nonverbal and hates loud sounds and eye contact. When he gets scared he runs off to see plants. He likes plants and keeps some flowers with him. He has trouble with clothes and touch and has a cloak and one shirt that he can where. I still have questions about stimming. What it is and how do i (if I should) write it?

Alright! First of all, I think that you might want to take a look at @scriptautistic; they are a blog specifically designed to help writers write autistic characters. Their FAQ is a very good place to start, and you can search keywords like ‘nonverbal’ or ‘stimming’ on their blog.

First of all, I think you picked a very risky character to write. No offense. Since you’re using ‘he’ pronouns, I’m assuming he’s a guy. Your autistic character is a nonverbal guy. I’m going to state this right now, for the record: I have literally never seen a nonverbal character written well by a neurotypical. If I saw this on the back of a book, I’d put it back like I’d been burned.

Aside from the fact that I’ve never seen a nonverbal character written well by a neurotypical, he also sounds stereotypical. This post by scriptautistic describes the stereotypical autistic character. As you can see, you’re already ticking off at least four of the twelve points just with your short description. This is a big risk to take, especially for a neurotypical. You might want to work to make sure that you don’t fall into the other categories as well.

What I do like about your character is his special interest in plants. The fact that he carries around a couple of flowers with him is very realistic, at least in my experience; I had the habit of carrying books around for the longest time because they were my special interest and comforted me. 

Aside from that, this particular type of special interest has potential to become unique if you make sure to not make him focus on the science of plants, but rather on nurturing them. I’ll get deeper into what I mean by that later.

This post is becoming way too long, so I’ll put the rest under the cut..

First of all, I’ll give you a couple of general tips for writing autistic characters:

Be careful what sites you use for research. Remember that actually autistic people should always be your primary source material. Autism Speaks is awful, if the sites mention ABA or therapy aimed to make people ‘indistinguishable from peers’, run. ASAN, however, is a good place to start. As is the Autism Women’s Network.

Be aware of stereotypes. I’ve already mentioned that your character has fairly stereotypical traits, but you can still avoid making him stereotypical if you know what you’re doing. Research the fuck out of stereotypes and try to avoid and/or deconstruct them if possible.

Give your character a personality. A problem with many neurotypical writers attempting to write an autistic character is that they forget to give their character a personality beyond their autistic traits. Yes, autism affects every part of us, but we are still unique individuals. Don’t write your character like an autism traits checklist.

It’s ‘autistic’, not ‘person with autism’. People will try to tell you different, but the vast majority of autistic people prefer ‘autistic’. You did this good already, but I thought I’d mention it anyway.

Get autistic beta/sensitivity readers. Sometimes neurotypicals manage to create an autistic despite not having sensitivity readers, but it’s not recommended. 

Give your character an integral part in the plot, that is not to be a motivation for another character. If your character solely exists as a motivation for another character (ex: the autistic younger brother that the big brother must protect), honestly, stop. It’s insulting to be treated as a plot device. At the very least, give us agency and have us affect the plot through our own actions.

If a character is acting ableist, call them out in the narrative. Not to say that you need to have a character going ‘uh, that’s ableist’, just condemn the actions. For example, if a mother tells someone about their child’s autistic diagnosis without their permission, have the other characters side-eye her, or have the autistic character protest, or just put a sentence in that makes it clear that the narrator disapproves of the behaviour.

Write an autistic character, but don’t write about autism. This is general advice for any minority you don’t belong too. Our experiences are unique and an outsider can’t fully tell them. Write an autistic character, but don’t make your story about autism. 

Don’t make him ‘grow out’ of his autistic traits. Don’t show character development by making him stop stimming or something. 

And lastly, don’t other your character. It’s okay to make it clear that he’s different from your other characters, but make sure that they respect him and consider him one of their own anyway. Don’t make him seem like an alien.

Secondly, I’m going to adress writing the ‘nonverbal’ part of your character, as you have to be really careful with that, especially since you’re neurotypical. I’m not nonverbal, but I can give you a couple of general tips and things to keep in mind when writing a nonverbal autistic character:

PLEASE do extensive research, and base your character primarily on the experience of actual nonverbal autistic people. If you don’t you will reinforce negative stereotypes, whether you know it or not. 

Remember that alternate forms of communication exist. Since you mentioned a cloak, I’m assuming your story isn’t set in modern day times (we don’t really have cloaks anymore after all), and in that case, AAC technology doesn’t exist. Even so, research ways your character could communicate with people around them without talking (I’d advise against making him rely solely on charades; it can work, but you’ll run a high risk of falling into the stereotype that nonverbal people can’t communicate at all).

Remember not to infantilize your character. Autistic people can come across as childish, but if your character is an adult, they are still an adult, even if they’re nonverbal and autistic. Write him like his age. Give your character agency, opinions, etc. (you’d think this goes without saying but you’d be wrong)

Now, let’s move onto stimming. Since you don’t know what it is, I’m assuming you haven’t researched autism a lot. That’s okay, there’s a place to start for everyone. However, assume that you don’t know a lot. This resource post by scriptautistic has a lot of good resources listed. And the FAQ of this blog, autism-asks, is very extensive and contains good explenations for basic things. ‘What is stimming?’ is answered in detail there too.

I made a seperate post about writing stimming here, because I thought this would be useful to many more people. 

For your character specifically, I’d recommend making him stim with soft textures, his cloak (by rubbing/fidgeting with it), the plants he carries with him (by rubbing the petals, for example), to start with.

Now, we get to your character specifically. You have given me very little information to work with, but I can give you a couple of tips nonetheless:

Decide your character’s empathy level. Autistics often experience empathy differently from neurotypicals. Simplified, we tend to either have a lot of it (hyperempathy) or low/no empathy. Researching both would be good, however for your character specifically, I strongly recommend giving him hyperempathy. This is underrepresented and since you already have given your character a lot of stereotypical autistic traits, giving him the stereotypical low empathy on top of all that would be a bad idea.

Also, people with hyperempathy tend to also have empathy for things like plants/animals, which could be interesting in combination with his special interest.

I mentioned earlier that having your character focus on the nurturing side of his special interest (aka taking care of plants, making them grow, developing a garden), rather than the scientific aspect (their biology, their cells, etc.) would be a good idea. If your character focuses on nurturing things, making them grow, they tend to have a ‘caretaker’ personality. This defeats the stereotype that autistics are heartless/have no emotions. This could work to humanize the character and to make him unique.

Furthermore, it would bring your character farther from the stereotypical autistic male, who is often obsessed with math/science. Giving them the science side of plants as their special interest, however, would play into that stereotype.

However, DON’T make him a savant. He doesn’t ‘magically’ grow plants (unless actual magic is involved). He has simply spent a lot of time with them and therefore knows a lot more about them than the average person. Don’t make him a genius.

You mentioned that he runs to plants when he feels scared. Why? Does focusing on his special interest comfort him? Does he stim with the smell? Is it a familiar environment for him? A combination? Specify this to yourself and the readers.

How practical is running to plants when he feels scared? Where does he live? Does he ever move to a place without plants, or travel? What happens when he doesn’t have access to this coping mechanism?

Take care not to infantilize them and make sure your other characters respect him, his intelligence, and his opinion. From what you’ve told me, there’s a pretty high risk of that happening, especially with the running away when feeling scared thing.

I recommend that you read Anne Ursu’s The Real Boy (here on the Book Depository, here on Amazon USA), partly because it’s fucking good, partly the main character is an autistic boy who doesn’t like eye contact and is hypersensitive and has a special interest in herbs. It sounds like your character has a lot of similarities with him, and it might help to read a similar character.

However, Ursu is still neurotypical, so don’t treat is as a bible.

Here is an interview with Ursu (does spoil the book) that might help you gain some insight.

Here is a review by Disability in Kidlit (which is a good resource in general), that also might help you gain some insight (again, spoils the book). 

Primarily, I recommend that you do a shitton of research, and listen to autistic people.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

Noisey: Is Okay Kaya Living in Pop Music's Future?

Noisey published an abridged version, condensing down the lead so that it read more generic, in my opinion. Here’s my first draft, which I’m more attached to.

Pictures taken by the wonderful Lauren Geisswein 

The San Damiano Mission, like many houses of worship these days, is rolling with the punches. With the encouragement of the Diocese of Brooklyn, two friars have come up with a “novel approach” to cure the dwindling followership of the over-100-year-old Catholic church located between Williamsburg and Greenpoint, mainly consisting of hosting concerts and hucking booze during off-service hours. Thus what once had a congregant of god-fearing Slovak immigrants at the turn of the 20th century now has a Resident Advisor page. 

Maybe no act the church has booked thus far exemplifies that change more than Kaya Wilkins, also known as Okay Kaya. Beneath a mural of angels ascending to heaven — the venue’s Romanesque decor remains very much intact — and bathed in blue light, the stoic and willowy 27-year-old singer hums out a bawdy question to a room full of her faithful adorees:

Do you dance like you fuck? Or do you dance like you make love?

With it, some of the crowd noticeably withers with delight in the pews. I can’t help but view the declaration of such candid words in this setting as a metaphor for the 27-year-old’s best work. Within the timeless format of a pop song, she can place a blunt truth that turns the experience on its head, making it both refreshing and more relatable.

Would you come with me to get an IUD? She coos on the first line of “IUD,” the lead single off her upcoming debut, Both.

Maybe, if you come with me, I will let you come in me.

This candor doesn’t immediately shine through in her persona offstage, however. I learn this the afternoon before the San Damiano show, talking with the songwriter, model, and actress in her cozy (New York tongue for “tiny”) Greenpoint apartment, pleasantly aglow with some springtime sun. Kaya—whose real name is Kaya Wilkins—sits perched on top of her bed, cross legged, talking in small pours, allowing her thoughts to slowly fill the glass. Her demeanor is dulcet and reflective, traits you wouldn't necessarily associate with someone who’s often in front of a camera.

“I think I’ve always had trouble communicating,” she says amid a soft smile, admitting that she’s still getting the hang of interviews. “I found mediums to express what I was feeling.”

Those mediums have grown steadily since her move to New York from her birthplace Norway eight years ago. In addition to her music career, which started with an Arthur Russell-inspired Soundcloud mix of her redolent vocals and has blossomed into a rep as one of the city’s more honest singer-songwriters, she also has her long-time modeling gig that’s recently placed her on high-profile runways around the world. Then there’s her acting work, which started with a flash of brilliance in last year’s Thelma, a Norwegian film about a student who struggles with her feelings for another woman (played by Kaya) and the supernatural powers that get intertwined in them.

But these successes haven’t necessarily come naturally to Kaya; with each new artform, she says, comes a growth period when she must discover where her identity fits into things. Whether it’s flooding a church nave with placid truths, rocking “silk skunk” (a real thing, yes) in a Calvin Klein campaign, or auditioning for a role without much prior acting experience, the underlying strategy of it all is to let her personality be the catalyst for the creativity. “I don’t know how I could get away with it otherwise. I don’t have the skills necessarily, but I do have me,” she explains. “I’m sure of my own voice, my style. And that feels good cause I’m insecure about everything else.”

Like many of us, finding her voice has been a journey for Kaya, one that can be traced back to her childhood in a small peninsula community outside of Oslo. There, in a cottage-like house only 10 minutes from the beach, she grew up with her mother and three brothers (her American father, a former marine that was stationed in Oslo at one point, raised her other two brothers in Boston). She has warm memories of summers there, swimming and playing in her mom’s garden, where she would match her clothing to the purple and yellow flowers that adorned it. She found the frigid winters to be bleaker, however, and the area’s homogeneous community to be problematic in relation to her ambiguity, both in identity and appearance (her mom is white and father black).

So she turned to art, at least in part inspired by her mom who worked as a proofreader by day and a painter by night and was just as likely to play Prince around the house as she was a Swedish jazz singer or Cypress Hill. Kaya would twiddle around with a guitar and sometimes play with her older brother’s metal band, but her first obsession became movement after a dance instructor in high school showed her examples of famous performers who “moved funny,” a descriptor she would often get in ballet classes. She realized she could use her uniqueness as an advantage, turning her small gestures, deemed awkward before, into innovative moves.

While we talk, I can see some of these gestures in her hands, which she nimbly tilts and curls through the air while describing things, like she’s peeling back an invisible curtain to examine them. “I just love to feel connected...like, ‘Oh someone is doing something that doesn’t have as many rules,’” she says of finding her creative niche.

She planned to pursue movement into the future, even pondering going to a “modern mime school” in Paris (“I was going to be like a clown basically”). But fate intervened, and she was discovered by modeling scouts, who encouraged her to take up the profession. After a year of trying to make it in London, she moved to NYC to make more money as an e-commerce model, posing as a “shell of a human” on retail websites like Ann Taylor’s LOFT.

It was during this period, feeling under stimulated, isolated and alone, that she decided to revisit music. She picked up a guitar and started recording short tunes to send to her friends and family back home. To get their attention, she would create rough covers of records by artists that differed wildly in tone than her, like Nate Dogg or the Curtis Mayfield-led Impressions. The songs came out soulful and slow moving, gorgeous recreations of upbeat jams. Eventually, combined with her original recordings, she had enough material to consolidate and post online.

“It’s something I just wanted to work on for a while. That’s all I know really,” she recalls of her first musical sketches. “It felt very necessary.”

What happens next Kaya finds strange to talk about, a familiar situation for seemingly any woman trying to break into the music industry. An A&R found her mix and approached her about management, promising to put out her work and introduce her to notable producers. She agreed, and together they released the songs that would announce her Okay Kaya project to the world, including the heart-tugging “Damn, Gravity,” a slowburner centered around love slipping through the fingertips produced by King Krule and Sampha collaborator Rodiadh McDonald. But the A&R also made strange requests, like pressuring her not to tell producers that she was in a relationship (Kaya has been dating songwriter Aaron Maine, also known as the singer Porches, for the past year). The process began to feel “grimy,” she says, and “really uncomfortable.” So she walked away, leaving behind both a deal with a prominent East Coast imprint and distribution through indie powerhouse XL Recordings. Suddenly the idea of an album seemed distant.

“It didn’t make me happy or even wanting to try for a minute. I think it took like three years for me to feel like I had my voice and...just going back to what I wanted to do.”

With “do,” she gestures her arms in upward circles, indicating the significance of the room surrounding us, where she recorded over half of Both, now set to be self-released on June 1 through her own label, Heavy Body Records. The apartment has become the epicenter of her work and a symbol of her newfound self-reliance in music. A small recording setup of a mic and mixer sits against the wall, next to a scribbled setlist for tomorrow’s show; a pile of clear garbage bags, full of merch Kaya designed with a friend, crams a corner. The soundtrack buzzing softly out of the speakers is made up entirely of women singers—Caroline Polachek, Nina Simone, Sibylle Baier—Kaya found inspiration in during the record’s writing process.

Both is a work of cogitation, poking at concepts and feelings Kaya has encountered in her journeys from Scandinavia to New York, the runway to the silver screen. “Emulate,” for example, examines the idea of projecting love and whether it leads to genuineness or manipulation, a question that lies at the heart of the two young women’s dynamic in Thelma. More directly, “Calendar Girl” was inspired by a time when Kaya felt it difficult to leave her apartment so she’d write simple tasks on a calendar—“walk around the block”—as motivation to break her self-confinement. Most of the arrangements that propel these thoughts, aside from a few co-produced by Maine, are her own.

Which brings us back to “IUD,” a single that many women have accepted as a righteous ode to self care amid the current tumultuous political environment. Kaya has a unique perspective on the situation, as she comes from a country that provides basic healthcare services, no questions asked. Thus, while talking about it, she’s able to underlie its significance and how foolish the alternative would be. “I just wanted to be transparent about it and be like, ‘This is happening. People need this.’”

It’s here that we possibly get a glimpse of the future. Kaya’s music, deeply personal in nature, is slowly becoming tangible outside of her own consciousness. In other words, her songs are no longer just her’s; she now shares them with others. We ponder this truth together in the kitchen, where we’ve moved so she could lean out the window and smoke a cigarette. The sound of hammering wafts up from a renovation on the first floor, placing our words to a grating rhythm. A table cloth of husky red roses, maybe a small ode to her mother’s garden back home, ties the room together.

In the self-financed and -choreographed videos for “IUD” and “Dance Like U,” the second single off Both, Kaya presents her feelings as physical embodiments identical in appearance to herself. One twin is irritating and cumbersome, representing trauma and sadness; the other is gentle and understanding, symbolizing acceptance. The “weird sisters,” as Kaya has dubbed them, were born out of a simple concept—a dualism that could serve as an album’s core theme (hence the title Both) and an interesting visual driver. But first and foremost they’re pieces of her, now barer than ever.

So much on the horizon—the show tomorrow, the album drop, the press that will follow—will put those pieces on display. She admits she’s nervous.

“I have no idea what it’s going to be like,” she says with an exhale of smoke. Her tender smile returns as she remembers the most important lesson she’s learned thus far.

“But wait, who am I trying to be? I’m just trying to be me.”

Gender and inequality

My first source for gender inequality is about the Emma Watson speech for her special for the #HeForShe campaign. September 2014, UN Women Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson at a special event for the #HeForShe campaign gave a very powerful, smart, and moving speech about the gender inequality problem and how to deal with it. In her speech, she seeks for men and youth to join her #HeForShe campaign or Feminist fight for gender equality. I found the entire speech was so motivating because for the gender equality in society to be accomplish permanently, the generations of harmful and destructive stereotypes of masculinity and behavioral expectations for boys and men have got to change. #opinion

My second source for gender and equality is about the article that talks about inequality between man and female and why it still does have a space. I found the entire article interesting because it includes some of basic facts that everyone can relate. For instance, we often associate power and authority with masculinity and characterizations such as strong, tough, active, independent, taking up space, being strategic and having voice. Traits associated with femininity have historically been passivity, quietness, silence, weakness, being emotional and intuitive, being caring and nurturing.

My third source for gender and inequality is a video that reflects the discrimination against women. The video starts with some ridiculous numbers of data that women are discriminated in different sector from all over the world. the video also explores the behind the scene of how hard it is for women to grew up within the society. I like the video because the video has one aim that is women deserve a equality.

Sexual violence

My first source for sexual violence is the video that I recently watched on TED Talk by Jackson Katz called “Violence Against Women- It’s a Men’s Issue”. He addresses a domestic violence and sexual abuse are often called ‘women issues’. He discusses how the idea of sexual assault or women violence is analyzed as a ‘women’s issue’, in fact it is men’s issue just as much. I found his entire presentation very inspiring because I do believe the importance of changing the way we think to realize that violence against women is very much a men's issue. Thus, men play a key role in the solution to violence against women.

My second source for sexual violence is about sexual assault. I choose this source because it reflects the same ideology like the documentary ‘the hunting ground’ did. Numbers of women are the victim of sexual assault but only fewer numbers of crimes are filed and even action results taken for opposition are mesmerizing. Instead acting to the suspect, people and organization blame victim for no reason but just to protect their status and reputation.

My third source for sexual violence is about the violence against women. I found this source very useful because it is fact that for years’ violence against women continues to be widely tolerated. I think Despite all efforts of eradicating this issue, it will not be achieved until governments, the media, and the public acknowledge the seriousness of the problem and find out the exact solutions about it.

Language and communication.

My first source for language and communication is a video which explores the interesting fact about the everyday sexism. The EveryDaySexism is an ever-increasing collection of over 50,000 women's experiences of gender imbalance. The stories come from women of all ages, races and sexual orientations, disabled and non-disabled, employed and unemployed, religious and non-religious. The project has expanded into 18 countries worldwide and become internationally renowned, featuring in media from the New York Times to French Glamour, CNN to Grazia South Africa, to the Times of India. I think it is a very good idea because people who experienced sexism on a day to day basis, whether it is serious, minor, offensive that don’t feel able to protest can share their story with the help of it and show the world that sexism does exist faced by women every day which must end.

My second source for language and communication is about the use of sexism language. The article reflects the use of sexist language using against women or girl while walking on the streets or other different places. in general, I agree with the post because it discusses about personal beliefs, experiences and practices of students and the way in which sexist language perpetuates gendered stereotypes which are facts.

My third source for language and communication is about the Let’s Talk about the feminist communication. The post is unique and explores the correlation between feminist communication, consent, interpersonal dynamics and motivation from sexual harassment or abuse. Believe that their main motto is to communicate with each other makes it worth reading, even for those already familiar with concepts of consent.

Embodiment, Beauty, and the Viewer

My first source for Embodiment, Beauty, and the Viewer is about "The Handmaid’s Tale" which is both a beauty to behold and a slap in the face. The Handmaid’s Tale is not a “woman’s television show.” But it, too, feels purposefully, radically feminine: obsessed, like its source material, with allowing women to inhabit their own stories, instead of ceding that authority — to tell, to be told — to men.

My second source for Embodiment, Beauty, and the Viewer is about the article called ‘women’s worth’ posted by Marianne Williamson. I would absolutely agree with his post because feminine beauty is not the clothes, makeup or hair although a huge number of money is invested every year by women who have been convinced by the advertising industry that is (Williamson). I think beauty is who are from the inside. Society programs us, through the subliminal messages of popular culture, to believe that we’re not truly desirable as women unless we adhere to the current standards of physical beauty.

My third source for the Embodiment, Beauty, and the Viewer is about the Ann Hathaway, an Oscar winner actress who had a movie controversy where she failed to place her full professional trust in a female director. My reaction towards her action like how could a woman doubt other women profession because she was a woman. she mentioned one of her interview that it was because of the lack of female directory in Hollywood. I believe she is right and wrong at the same time because it is fact that there are less number of female director in Hollywood but instead of misbehaving with her she might have encouraged her for it would be a better choice.

Work, Inequality, and Neoliberalism

My first source for Work, Inequality and Neoliberalism is about the Time magazine cover: Don’t Hate Her Because She Is Successful– Sheryl Sandberg. I think her life story is perfectly suits in it because Sheryl Sandberg is one the most successful women when it comes to business. Her outstanding journey from Harvard to Facebook is a perfect example that women can do anything if they get an equal access on everything. She is one of the perfect example of feminist who is creating new opportunities, removing obstacles and making a real difference in others’ lives.

My second source for Work, Inequality and Neoliberalism is about general strike that was organizers of the Women’s March on Washington for not being accessible to the women most affected by precarious work and intersecting oppressions. According to the article, Neoliberalism convinces us that collectivity is unattainable and that the only way to demand rights and freedoms is through a system put in place to disenfranchise us and maintain power for the few. A movement advocating for the 99 per cent has no other option but to take into consideration the intersections of women’s oppressions. After all, the current state of the world calls for us to be ambitious as well as radical, disruptive, and self-critical (Favory ).

My third source for Work, Inequality, and Neoliberalism is about the sex work. I found this article very perfectly suitable for it because the article talks about misconception about the sex worker. After reading the entire article I think feminism is not only about what you wear but also about where your money goes. I believe everyone should appreciated equally on whatever they do.

 Human Right and Global Activism

The first source I used for Human Right and Global Activism is about the quote by Kate Nash. It is fact that lot of people have a misconception about what feminism is. Kate define Feminism as, it is the human right that’s should be distributed equally between man and women. I do not believe that being a feminist doesn’t mean you hate men but you support the equally access on everything.

My second source for Human Right and Global Activism was about the Hilary Clinton speech on women rights. Since we all know she is a global activism and fighting against for women discrimination on education, leadership, opportunities and workplace. During her speech, she addressed why women issue is not the ordinary issue but the global issue and it has to end. My reaction towards her speech was so thrilled because it was such and powerful speech I ever listened before. I think she is a perfect example of a feminist because she had so many contributions on politics and women rights that should be appreciated.

My third source for Human Right and Global Activism was about the article called ‘Women as Humans: Human Rights, Feminisms, and Rethinking the Human’. In general, the article argues how re- analyzing of women’s human rights can help to create an international legal theory and with the help of it women would have more access on human rights. The article is worth reading. It includes some interesting facts as well.

History of Women’s Activism in the United States: Struggles and Solidarities

My first source I used for History of Women’s Activism in the United States: Struggles and Solidarities is about the pre-choice movement which is also called as the United States abortion rights movement. In general, the movement was supporting women should have the legal right to an abortion. The movement was also a part of the global abortions-rights movements. The movement was conducted by the different women activists and big organizations.

My second source for the History of Women’s Activism in the United States: Struggles and Solidarities is about the Women’s Right Movement in the united states. The articles cover the years from the 1848 to 1920. The includes the outstanding journey of Women’s Right Movement from women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York to the formation of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, and the passage of the nineteenth amendment to the Constitution, giving women the right to vote.

My third source for the History of Women’s Activism in the United States: Struggles and Solidarities is about the Equal Right Amendment or Activism (ERA). The activist stand to guarantee the equal rights for women. talking about the history, it was introduced in 1923 and was passed both houses of congress in 1972. Due to some less number of ratification before the deadline ERA was not adopted. We live in modernized, civilized and globalized world, but still there is still not equal right. since it is not just the women issue man are also helping women in protesting to guarantee equal rights for them.
