i think when actors need to leave a show for whatever reason but the character is important and doesnt need to be written off / writing them off would make the story worse i think they should just hire a new actor for the character but, and this is the crucial bit, hire a similar-looking actor of a different gender. Yeppp they look different bc they transitioned between seasons. Obviously

ok i've been working on my book notes repository enough that i'm ready to promise that i'll deploy it on august 11th! i've been working on critical reading guides for it: a general one and then ones tailored specifically to each book i want to cover.

but i also remember how, even just a few years ago, it was SO hard for me to focus on getting through books at all. for like a solid ten years i struggled to read any books outside of what was assigned to me for class. and you know. even then. like my attention span was so shot that i couldn't make it more than a page or two at a time.

over the past four years i've really been working on that by setting incremental goals (10 books a year, then 25, then 50, and now 100). i wanted to share some of the tools & tricks that have been the most effective for me. since i'm constantly asking y'all to read some book or other, it felt like the right thing to do, lol.

if you've been through this process & have anything that really worked for you, feel free to add it in a reblog!

you can't say "hey has anyone noticed that M/M fic outnumbers F/F like 100:1” or “it feels racist that only 3/202 characters on the ao3 top 100 ships list are Black and two of them are Alastor HazbinHotel” bc some ppl will start going like “oh so you think we should FORCE people to write about things they DON’T CARE ABOUT for WOKE????” and you’ll be like “no, i’m pointing out that the conditions that created this disparity are informed by racism & misogyny” and ppl will say “it’s not BIGOTED to only care about WHITE MEN” and then the gargoyle king appears
