Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!

Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.

Modern writing advice: Yes your protagonist should have flaws but ultimately we should root for them and like them from the beginning :)

Charles Dickens: Here is the worst ugliest rudest meanest nastiest bitch you’ve ever met in your life.

Modern writing advice: Make sure your POV character goes through a significant arc! Make sure they are changed by the narrative! Make sure they learn a lesson!

Narrators of every book of the 19th century: the lesson I learned is these people fucking suck, sayonara you freaks

[sandersstudies]

Modern writing advice: It’s all about the character overcoming obstacles and learning! They learn their lesson so they can fix their mistakes and make good choices in the future! It’s a character arc! It’s called growth! Readers love it!

Everyone from ancient times through the 19th century: would you like to watch a Guy fuck up twenty times in a row

Am I in love with you? Is love the word for how I feel when you smile? Is love the word for when my hands ache with the need to run my fingers through your hair? Is it love when I want to hold you close and never let go? Is it love when I struggle to breathe whenever you are near, or ache when you are far? Or is it loneliness?

I’m in love with someone who makes me want.

[fitemegood]

Or maybe I did that myself

I like to believe I add nothing of value to my friend group

Kill what

A friend randomly gave me chocolates. I thanked her then she said she gave them to remind me that I don’t need a lover, especially one that just makes light of my feelings, saying that I deserve so much better than that. I think I cried.

I was called a “green person” by a friend. At first I didn’t understand and thought they meant my favorite color was green and I was so happy BECAUSE IT IS!!!!! SOMEBODY NOTICED!!!!! And then they explained a “green person” is like someone they could come to and they feel comfortable talking to. And that also made me happy in a different way. I was fine with being known as someone who likes green, but I would also accept the other version

Gravity. Traffic lights. Icarus.

It was free-falling. It felt like giving in. And I was like the boy who flew too close to the sun, but at least I flew.

I’m in love with someone who makes me want.

I did not need to cry, but thanks

happy lesbian visibility day

I'm willing to die for the world to be a better place to live in, but I know my life wouldn't be enough to erase the homophobia, misoginy, racism and all those things that make it hard for some people to live their own lives.

[fitemegood]

Don't you just want to do something to change the world to be a better place but can't, and it's this overwhelming feeling of hopelessness and sadness?

[fitemegood]

I'm lucky enough to have open-minded friends. Like we've come a long way from being kids society wants us to be, to teenagers who have been called to the principal's office for leading a petition to try and change a school activity (which they trashed by the way). I think that's beautiful. Anyway, we are a mix of sexes, and I got used to having people where I never felt the burden of norms.

But then, I go five meters from our little group, and I always get so surprised when I meet homophobes and misogynists. I honestly forget these people exist.

So when I hear, read or experience those situations where I can't help but question humanity (rape, abuse etc.) I just want to curl up in a ball and cry, because I can't and I'm not doing anything about it.
