thicc has become such an awful word and everytime i see one of you schmucks use it to describe a girl who weighs less than 100 pounds i lose a brain cell
If u weigh less than 130 pounds u are appropriating thicc culture
people who litter while standing right next to the garbage can should just shove themselves there entirely

It's the 69th day of the year. This is true.
Hey I am currently writing a book that focuses on some heavier topics, how do I make sure I'm not romanticizing them?
Romanticizing can show up with more than just heavy topics, and it’s important to distinguish between romanticizing (which is often about situation) and character/narrator perspective (which is more about tone). It’s possible for perspective/tone to romanticize something– but it’s usually acceptable if done with meaning and purpose and/or if it’s accurate to an individual and how they think! However, it should still very much be kept in check and here are some of the ways it tends to pop up:
Wrong tone: The narrator’s tone doesn’t fit the event, usually propping it up in a “good” light when it’s clearly a wrong act. In general, an improper tone isn’t right to use– however it can also show narrator perspective REALLY well. A murderer is not going to narrate someone getting shot the same way a volunteer at an animal shelter would; someone who doesn’t see an act as “wrong” or “a big deal” won’t narrate it as such. Not all narrators are “ideal people” (they really shouldn’t be to be interesting) and their perspective should affect the tone of the description. So, look at your narrator and decide what kind of tone realistically fits for those heavy topics given who they are.
Ignorant character/narrator: This is related to tone in that a character will narrate based on what they think of life and situations– which can come from romanticized ideas from a community, culture, friends, etc. Romance is often romanticized (until the person enters a romantic situation and then the view is corrected), as is violence (especially the idea that it solves problems easily, when it really doesn’t). Not everyone has a clear view of reality and that can be reflected in writing. Some writers choose to have a more down-to-earth character to help correct this narrator– or at the very least show the reader that the narrator doesn’t have an accurate way of thinking.
No consequences, or unrealistic ones: This is the real issue behind romanticizing. Characters get away with things they shouldn’t have, reality doesn’t kick in when it makes no sense not to, or situations are just unrealistic in general. There are some characters who actively try to avoid consequences or just live in a way that lets them, and that’s okay as long as it’s made clear that it’s not normal nor an ‘easy escape’. You can have a character who thinks romantically about something, but then learns the reality later on because of consequences.
It’s important to realize that consequences can appear in multiple ways: social, economic, physical, emotional– realistic consequences touch on all of those elements (and more, I’m sure I forgot some). It’s easy for writers to focus on punishing a character for bad acts with events that humiliate or cause pain, but it’s often better to focus more on how the character’s life would be affected in more subtle ways (or not so subtle, depending on the reality behind the issue).
It’s often very powerful for a character with a set idea of something (a romanticized idea) to experience reality and change that thought– often more so than just having a character who knows what’s right 24/7.
General stories aren’t moral tales (unless you’re purposefully writing one, but I don’t think you are), and even if they were, sometimes bad people get away with bad things. While romanticizing is definitely bad, a degree of it can be true to certain aspects of life and it’s okay if you want your writing to reflect that in how your characters think. Romanticized situations and consequences are where the real trouble begins. It’s not the writer’s job to beat readers over the head with the idea that something is bad (if you want to, then write a moral tale instead of a story for entertainment) but realistic consequences are often the best way to avoid romanticizing while keeping an interesting story.
You can still have a character who avoids romanticized tone, ignorance, and suffers realistic consequences, but you want to be careful not to make them too ‘perfect’, particularly with thought and perspective. Everyone has something that they romanticize in one way or another, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be that heavy subject you’re writing about. It really depends on the story and subject as to what level of realistic romanticized perspective that you’re willing to work with.
Realistic consequences are the key! Perspective and knowledge can also play a part in avoiding romanticizing things, but you want to be careful to make sure the narrator still has appropriate tone and knowledge for who they are.
Good luck with your story!
Happy Valentine’s day
Happy valentines to you, too! c:And to all the other lonely weebs who follow me :’)

You can’t be serious… that shit is soooooo unsafe for the patient and taxing on nurse 😩
As a nursing major this hurts me. It’s already hard enough taking care of someone who cannot take care of themselves but NOW we don’t have the materials needed to administer care. This pisses me off 😒
Man what the fuck
He’s telling the truth, I currently work at a hospital and there is a nationwide shortage of IV fluid bags. So bad that they’re referring to alternative methods like medications that can be administered orally or like the post above. Smh
Not to mention the shortage of antibiotics
WTF??
Some 40% of drugs and supplies used in the US were manufactured in PR. Drug shortages were predicted after the hurricane and now they are starting to happen. Since PR doesn’t seem to be considered to be part of the US by this administration, help to fix it has been short and late in coming, which means that drug shortages will only get worse.
Are we great yet?
I beg the earlier posters to forgive my innate cynicism, but this seemed too outlandish a story to be true because bloody hell, how could that happen?
So I checked snopes just in case and they confirm it’s true.
