hirohiko araki has achieved the schroedinger’s cat of lgbtq+ representation where there is definitely some kind of queer shit going on but nobody knows exactly what it is.

So loves, I have finally edited the trash heap that is my first attempt at writing something ♡ Currently I feel like flinging myself into a woodchipper as I am reminded why I am an artist and not an author. 🥲 But! I will not improve if I do not try. So, even though I wanted to delete it the moment I hit post, I will share it. Rip it apart if you feel the criticism can help, I must learn to improve eventually ♡ I welcome the pain 😇🙏

Heads up, it's noncon as I've mentioned. Not for smut sake, just to be real sad. But hey, I like sad ♡

Locked away like a princess in an inescapable room high up in Falconia's palace, Casca is at the mercy of Griffith. But, that's not really Griffith anymore, is it Casca?

Thinking about how Aziraphale invented lying.

Because Crowley did not lie when he tempted Eve— he told her exactly what would happen, if she took a bite of the fruit of knowledge. She would know the difference between good and evil. He did not lie about that.

But Aziraphale gave away the sword appointed to him by God Herself, and then spun the very first lie to protect himself from her wrath.

Regardless of whether it was a small lie, it was a lie all the same, and a lie directly to God. He, an angel, told the very first lie, thereby inventing the act of lying.

Wouldn’t it be funny if I did the good thing and you did the bad one?

#not art #good omens #gomens #crowley #aziraphale #ineffable husbands #aziraphale is an angel and therefore should be a beacon of truth and goodness #and yet he invented lying #crowley on the other hand is a demon who was sent up to make trouble #and instead told truths!! and gave humans the opportunity to truly be good!!! #because goodness is not the absence of evil!!! #goodness is only achieved in spite of evil!!! #and crowley gave the gift of goodness to humans!! #oh god. I am so normal

Publishing has always been a fucking nightmare, but now it’s a layer of hell. It’s not enough that writers be good at what they do. Writers have to maintain an active social media presence and cultivate a following. Be available.

They have to be conventionally attractive enough to look good enough to see on a screen, aesthetically pleasing, kind, funny, up-to-date on trends, socially aware but not so controversial that they turn off a brand from California from slapping their discount code on a video promoting a book.

They have to do all of this with no media training, with little help from the companies that are supposed to be doing this for them.

Of course, a lot of this isn't possible for say, the 40-something mother of two who teaches English at a school and writes on the side. She’s boxed out of an already complex industry that already has enough walls.

On some level, I think authors have always marketed themselves a little, but we’ve reached such a crazy point where we’re demanding the author become the influencer. Accessibility in publishing has narrowed from an inch to a sliver. And that inch was hard enough to get in as is.

#This is about traditional publishing but there’s pretty privilege and ageism in self publishing too #I can’t think of the last time I saw an up and coming author recording videos who was over thirty #And frankly that’s a shame #It could be that I’m not looking hard enough #but it’s more likely that algorithms are trained the way they are #truly I don’t think they should have to do any of that at all #And forgive me but (and I know it’s rich because I’m an artist on a platform) but art shouldn’t be at the mercy of an algorithm #Now there’s also something to be said about self publishing becoming easier and easier to achieve success in #And doors opening because of influencer status is real and makes publishing wider in a way #But that doesn’t mean it’s accessible #I’m not gonna plaster my health issues over the wall but that life is certainly not accessible to me! #are you healthy enough to write and make sure people on social media still want to like your stuff #are you mentally well enough to be your own pr #I’m sure people who have studied this have more to say and have said it better but this is what I’ve observed #writing #publishing #publishing industry

Me: I have got to write more protagonists who are just terrible people

Also me: *Blubbering and hesitating to do so like I’m about to press the mean dialogue option in a video game*

#writing #writeblr #characters #writer things #textpost #it’s so hard to truly make a terrible protagonist which is why those who do manage it are usually really successful #thinking of three examples in particular right now #sometimes they are necessary to the ecosystem! I need to throw a few in there come on brain #I want to achieve this with one of my latest ocs without softening him too too much brain you can do it

When people describe Arya being forced into situations where she literally has to fight for her life as her "choosing violence"

#arya stark #asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #then when they praise a character who has never been in a comparable situation for /keeping their morals/ #like oh? not being in a tough situation without any protection is a virtue now? 😭 #this idea where people treat politicking as the ultimate skill that can get you out of any situation if you're smart enough needs to end #and it truly comes from nowhere cause Varys + LF (arguably the most political characters) both rely on violence to achieve their goals #this fandom's /nuanced/ takes are literally just them dumbing down the story and sucking out any complexity and it's so boring #but that's what happens when you create theories to center a specific character instead of them coming organically from the story 🤷🏾‍♀️ #their dislike of Arya is so obvious because they obsessively erase the traits they covet from her character😭 #meanwhile a majority of the male leaders in asoiaf are also warriors but somehow Arya being considered a warrior (which she isn't) #means she can't be political or a leader...smells like misogyny

people throw around the word arrogant a lot when talking about wei wuxian post war which i think is funny because it implies that wwx had an exaggerated sense of self, like he thought himself better than his peers and the rest of the cultivation world. similar to how su she thinks lan wangji is arrogant. but like… most of wwxs arrogance from that time was a performance so no one could question why couldn’t do anything a typical spiritual cultivator could do, which was be even more noticeable for someone who had been as powerful as wwx. ALSO wwx really was that powerful, he wasn’t exaggerating his own talents or abilities, he could back them up (ie phoenix mountain and the blindfolded archery) wwx is incredibly confident in himself and knows exactly what he’s capable of.

i see people using the scene where wwx interrupts othe jin sect banquet while looking for the wen remnants as an example of his “arrogance” a lot when… that’s a poor way of reading this scene.

wwx first asks jin zixun to talk alone and when he makes it very clear he’s not even gonna humour wwx, wwx starts to get angry. jin guangshan adds fuel to the fire when he realised that jzx is making a fool out of himself and wwx is perfectly respectable when talking to him, even letting him know that he owes those wens a life debt, hence why he wants to help them. jgs continues to insist that wwx join the banquet and put aside the matter. when wwx declines and once again asks for him to resolve the issue jgs instead tries to blackmail wwx into giving up by mentioning the yin tiger tally and wwx finally runs out of patience.

and even after All of that wwx doesn’t truly snap until he points out the hypocrisy of the cultivation sects because they have allowed renegade clans from qishan who surrendered during the war to attend the banquet they’re all at while also preaching that anyone with the surname wen is guilty. it’s only then that he begins to threaten them and it’s clear he only does it bc he realises that debating will get him no where, that they’re shameless in their preconceived ideas of righteousness and wwx can’t afford to waste time fighting with them on logistics.

i just think labelling this scene as “wwx being an arrogant asshole who thinks he can do whatever he wants” is literally the Opposite of how you’re supposed to read it. like mdzs is a critique on mob mentality and people really think siding with the Mob during scenes like this is the correct interpretation

#sorry i read a meta #and it made me have Thoughts #mdzs #wei wuxian #just wild that i saw someone actually say that #wwx was never truly arrogant #he never say himself as better #or above anyone #he was aware of his abilities #and what he was capable of achieving
