some man online: âaryaâs a mary sue. reyâs a mary sue. i simply donât believe a young girl could be that skilled.â
what they expect me to say: âwell, no, actually, canon supports it, because if you look back as far as season three, sheâs been training forââ
what iâm actually gonna say: âgood. good. about fucking time. in the next movie i hope rey blows up a dreadnought with finger lightning that she learned earlier that day. i hope she rips palpatineâs spine out with her bare hands while everybody clapsâ
Neither of those are coherent reasons beyond whining âI want! I want! I want!â
Whoosh, their point really went over your head
the point of âI want it! I donât care that itâs sloppily made! I want it, I want it, I want it!â?
white straight cis men: [getting to eat candy exclusively for like seventy years, just drowning in candy, candy, putting up billboards with pictures of candy]
anybody else: may i also please⊠have some candy
you, an intellectual: candy rots your teeth. what are you, some kind of fucking baby
howâs that in any way, shape or form related to wanting fiction to be well made, and not just a strawman made by you so that you can mock someone who dislikes sloppy writing and doesnât mind bad ideas being criticized?
hey, if itâs asking questions time, here are some of mine:
whatâs âsloppily madeâ or a âbad ideaâ about a trained girl assassin doing an assassination?
whatâs âsloppily madeâ or a âbad ideaâ about a girl discovering she can use a quasi-magical force in a universe where quasi-magical forces exist?
whatâs âsloppily madeâ or a âbad ideaâ about having a gay superhero in a story that takes place in a world where gay people exist?
whatâs so hard to understand about my original post? is it not obvious that iâm making a joke? a joke about the way that gatekeepers expect us to be constantly proving the âqualityâ and âmeritsâ of us getting any scraps of representation at all? when we should not have to fucking do that?
iâm tired of being forced to do fandom homework for gatekeepers. i shouldnât have to write a dissertation on aryaâs training with the faceless men to establish the validity of her actions to people whoâve been watching the fucking show all along but just have such misogyny-soaked brains that they canât recognize the difference between âbad writingâ and âmy own shitty internal bias.â there is PLENTY of shitty writing on game of thrones: nearly all of it! but this was a logical plot development, and yet fandom still lost its collective shit, because skilled women are somehow the most fantastical element of a fucking ice zombie story.
that dude asking âwell why should there be a gay avenger?â is a perfect example: he wants his homework done for him. he wants an essay in 12-point font with one-inch margins outlining Ten Solid Reasons for the inclusion of a gay avenger and their Relevance to the Plot, but i will tell you what he deserves, which is to be told to fuck off. there should be a fucking gay avenger because there are fucking gay people alive on earth and that is IT. weâre alive in the world, and so we deserve stories. stories about people like us. itâs that simple.
the point of my original post is that i am done politely providing footnoted essays on why there should be heroic lead characters that i identify with. âreyâs a mary sueâ is not a statement that deserves to be refuted with evidence, it deserves to be fucking laughed at, and i was.
so i didnât build a strawman for you: you carried one in here. feel free to escort it back out.
so i didnât build a strawman for you: you carried one in here. feel free to escort it back out.
Youâre right. I wasnât thinking critically and had already made up my mind not to listen to you.
The more I thought about it the more I understood that holding minority representation to higher standards of subjective quality was unnecessary and childish in and of itself. If I wasnât personally impressed by the movie, I didnât have to watch it.
And I actually have no idea where I got the point that wanting something isnât enough reason to want it. It doesnât make any sense.
Furthermore, I see now that representation is uneven and it doesnât add up that this would be because white, straight, male representation just happens to always be better. It was my own internalized bias that led me to believe this without logical support.
And above all, my refusal to understand simple concepts doesnât place the onus on you to explain why you want something. Itâs on me to think about different perspectives. Thatâs how we grow as people. Insisting on remaining stagnant stifles that intellectual growth.
I apologize for being dismissive of you. What I said was smug and had no basis in logical thought. Going forward Iâll try to think more critically about the reasons for my opinions before I speak.
Reblog this version for more hope in humanity. I would like to thank pyjama-liama (formerly pyjama-llama) for taking the time to evaluate their biases.

ATTENTION ARTISTS: Need help calculating your commission prices?
A tool that Iâve found is really handy is a called the Cash Clock. Itâs a simple program that measures both the time that youâre working on a piece as well as how much money you should be earning. You can adjust the hourly wage to whatever you feel is right. Simply start the clock whenever you begin working on a project right up until youâre finished. It can give you a clear indication of what you should charge for commissions.
No artist should make below minimum wage for their artwork.
The Cash Clock is found as a download here.Â

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE THIS INSTEAD OF CHARGING PEANUTS FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK.Â
Please, please, please at least make sure youâre making minimum wage.
Please stop lowering the pay floor for independent artists everywhere by thinking $5-10/commission is anywhere close to an acceptable rate for something you spent three hours on.
A small tutorial on how I approach the normally time-spending task of getting details on armor and save myself hours of work I would eventually hate after 30 minutes. Hope itâs the first of many!
