The core philosophy that I go back to for basically every part of writing is "know what you're doing, and do it on purpose."

This goes from everything from word choice and sentence structure (understand the meaning and connotation of words you're using, be intentional with your word choice, understand grammmar rules and how you may be bending or breaking them) to plot, worldbuilding, and story meaning (know what genre tropes you are invoking or subverting, think through how one part of your worldbuilding relates to another and shape it accordingly, consider the implicit or explicit messages your story may be sending and make sure those messages are the ones you want to be sending).

I've talked about this before with writing advice as a whole, but I'll say it again here: use writing advice that applies to your story, and be intentional with it. Don't follow advice about building reader connections with a character when you are intentionally trying to building distance; don't follow advice about creating epic secondary worlds when that isn't your goal with the story.

Know what you're doing, and do it on purpose.

this is what’s so crazy to me when people try to moralize about gothic literature. like all of you people complaining about porn brained-ness in bronte novels are making the EXACT SAME ARGUMENTS that old misogynist victorian white men were when the books were first published!!!!!!

in conversation about white people who go to Japan and expect their knowledge of anime to culturally carry them, I was once posed with “it’s like if there was a Japanese guy who was obsessed with spongebob and came over here and thought he could get by just communicating in spongebob quotes.” This is a false equivalence because if such a man existed we would crown him king. We’d love him. Americans would fucking love that. sometimes I get sad that this isn’t a real guy I can invite to a party.

he’s so rapscallious

[greelin]

if i was a court jester i’d flirt with the king at any given opportunity. subtle at first but if he was interested and we’d share banter then i’d sit in his lap. then he would say i’m the funniest silliest little man alive and kiss me with tongue

[greelin]

how could he NOT fall in love with me though like i am literally there making him giggle, daily. a grown man covered in gold and he is just laughing at my stupid little jokes. i have that bastard wrapped around my finger. He knows it

[greelin]

all part of the plan
