My biggest tip for fanfic writers is this: if you get a character's mannerisms and speech pattern down, you can make them do pretty much whatever you want and it'll feel in character.

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

Worry less about whether a character would do something, and more about how they'd sound while doing it.

I don't remember where I saw this piece of advice so I can't credit it, unfortunately

But it was along the lines of "instead of asking whether something is out of character, ask 'what would it take for this character to do this'"

Which I think fits really nicely with this advice of making the actual action itself also feel in character

ive been to a lot of protests in my life and a thing that a lot of people dont understand is that a protest is a threat. its a large group of people saying “we are being nice now, but you must understand that if we stop being nice we have the power to cause you Problems”.

so everyone saying that protests have to be more polite or follow accepted rules is missing the entire point. the point of a protest is not to say “we disagree with you”, they already know that. the point of a protest is to make it clear that if they continue to do things you disagree with, you will burn down their house.

now this wont stop them because theyre stupid and arrogant and believe themselves to be beyond consequence. so here’s the really important thing and that’s that after they do it anyway, you have to burn down their house

I cannot stress this e-fucking-nough. My great-grandmother - hell, most of my whole family - were on the civil rights marches. The fact they had to be so peaceful was because everything done during those protests was breaking the law. None of it was legal, none of it was nice.

She told me this:

“Understand - to many white people in the US, seeing that many Black people gathered together in one place would have been shocking. It’s easy to bully a family in a town. A bit harder, but bullying a community is still possible. But over a million Black people marching upon the Capital would have had the same effect on every single White person watching. They would know what Black people were REALLY saying behind the hymns and the march.

‘Imagine what would happen if we were angry.’

“White people were terrified of those marches. And there were supposed to be afraid. Of course they were gonna push back - they have the guns, they can make up new laws on the fly. They have all the power in the world, literally - and still, nothing scared them more than a million Black people on the march. Protests stopped working when White people were no longer afraid.”

[crazy-pages]

They passed the Civil Rights Act because they realized that if they didn’t, there was literally nothing that government could do to save itself. The March on Washington was a warning shot which said, “there is no fucking force you can pull together which can stop this many people from burning the goddamn capitol to the ground, so think real careful about your next move”.

If passed, this would ban all gender affirming care FOR BOTH ADULTS AND MINORS ON BOTH PRIVATE AND PUBLIC INSURANCE starting on September 1st, 2025

If you are transgender and live in Texas, please make your plans to get out asap, this is just the beginning and not the end.

[socialistexan]

Two years ago this guy introduced a different gender affirming care ban that passed the Senate and would have passed the House if the bill hasn't been introduced so late and they had not run out of time.

Do not take this lightly. With the GOP's emphasis on trans people during the election, the Democrats completely discarding us, and how early this bill has been introduced, this will pass. I have no doubts in my mind.

Make your plans. Stockpile. Get out. Keep a bag packed

[patricide1885]

My friend is working on a Google doc for trans people with info about gender name changes, what is required to move to different countries, diy etc. we could use people's help to add to it. Like a safety guide. I believe you can add whatever you want as a suggestion and they can approve it.

I don't know anywhere else that's trying to consolidate everything into one place. If you do please share that info as well.

Safety Information for Trans Americans under Trump

This is a very rough work in progress - only just started as of Trump’s inauguration day 1/20/2025. Please help by adding information and he
