Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.

You're gonna make stuff again. You're gonna make stuff you're proud of. You're gonna make stuff you're excited to share. You're going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you're stuck in now. You're going to have awesome ideas, and you're going to make them into reality. You're going to create again. You're still an artist. You're still a writer. You're still home to the same passion you had before. You'll find it again. It's not gone. It's just resting. Let it rest. You're going to make stuff again. I promise.

be careful with what series you watch/read during emotional points in your life because they will forever contain a ghost of your past self within it now

are you edging yourself from laughing ? holding back your gigglegasm ? is that why you arent engaging in even a chuckle ? i would imagine you are a humor gooner that gets their heh's & hah's all Pent Up, based on the way you didnt express any acknowledgement of my hilarious joke, thats okay of course, i understand, total respect for perverts. hope you get to let a tremendous guffaw rip through your body soon

Can I just say something honestly and very seriously to all you writers?

With the Internet going down the "nothing adult, no death, no nothing. Make it kid friendly" route,

Please don't ever stop making art or writing wips that are gruesome, horror, other things like that. Don't let the Internet sanitize how you wanna tell a story. Channel your rage into your art and keep going and don't give up

[ariaste]

10000% this. And if I might add a corollary for readers: Step up and support authors making gruesome, horrifying, edgy, angry art. Read confidently; practice resilience with slightly uncomfortable topics so you can deprogram whatever cringing flinch response the purity-culture Internet has tried to impose on you. If you hear about some "scandalous" book that is "too problematic" for anyone to be allowed to read it, go read it on purpose just to see what all the fuss is about. Put edgy, difficult, bold books on your rec lists, praise them BECAUSE they're edgy and angry and bold, talk about those "dark" aspects that you love... And, crucially, find ways to do so without an apologetic disclaimer for the material the book contains.

Personally, I wish we could transition to saying something like "Contains depictions of {XYZ}" rather than "Content warning: {XYZ}" because the former is more neutral -- less of a value judgment. The latter, by use of the word "warning", quietly reinforces an idea (eagerly co-opted by the worst purity-culture antis and Christian fascists) that it is Wrong to write about those things, and that therefore the work is somehow Dangerous to the entire general public, even people who are not carrying {XYZ}-related trauma.

We HAVE to push back on the idea that serious topics make a piece of fiction inherently harmful, "sinful", or morally suspect -- and readers have to be as much a part of this conversation as authors are.
