Every once in a while I'll get engaged where a piece of media where one character has a highly specific and non-obvious speaking quirk, which I myself don't notice but another fan or friend far more unwell than me will catch onto and inform me of. And then it's like I'm part of the secret true universe and any fan content breaking the rule will, inadvertently and in ways I cannot fault them for, brand themselves an imposter.

[phantomrose96]

Garnet StevenUniverse does not ask questions. Jax TheAmazingDigitalCircus does not curse. Probably 80% of the Homestuck fuckers have some flavor of this but I'm not unwell enough for that.

[phantomrose96]

Sorry yeah adding mumblespash's dad as the third example. Get your fics right.

people will really come into kink spaces and say you can't forcefem women like there wasn't a feature length movie about an elderly gay man forcefemming a woman as part of scheme to thwart an elaborate assassination attempt before the killer even determined their target

[llama2237]

What... What movie is this.

So, is this the bird equivalent of realizing that the kid you've been hosting is not, in fact, friends with any of your children, but just some kid who wandered into your house? And now you have to make sounds about it being dinner time and starting to get dark outside so they leave on their own? Because it's either that, calling the police, or throwing them out Uncle Phil style?

“so you like criminals?” I LIKE THE RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL.

[aspiringsorceress]

One of worst things copaganda ever perpetuated is the rhetoric that if you aren't guilty of breaking the law, you shouldn't value your personal privacy against the state's surveillance and interrogation. That only guilty people hire lawyers when talking to police.

Where’s the post with advice about writing dialogue where the characters aren’t allowed to say what they mean?

Because I’ve been reading a bunch of stories lately where the characters do say exactly what they mean, and exactly what they feel, at great length, every single time. And it’s making my brain hurt.

The answer, as always, is to describe the sensory aspect. The tightness of the jaw, the grinding of teeth, the fire that starts behind your eyes and explodes outwards so hot it's white.

All of which I feel while watching clout-chasing readers make videos where they make fun of EXTREMELY NORMAL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTIONS (like that person on YouTube who couldn't understand what an author meant when they wrote "he pinched the bridge of his nose").

But also: sometimes they can just say it. That is fine. It's a question of overuse and reader reception. If they DO say it, still describe everything. Especially if the body language is opposite. The flat tone, the blank expression, everything that they're using to hide what they are feeling.

In general another pet peeve of mine about whitewashing is how we're expected to believe that it was not visible to the artist.

Like, if it's maybe a tad bit lighter? Okay. I usually let that slide. God knows my mobile and my monitor look completely different, solutions ineffective so far. Maybe you're still learning skin tone vs background. Okay. I don't get upset at that.

But you had to go all the way to the other side of the color wheel for some of these whitewashings and you're gonna look me in my Black ass eyeballs and tell me you "couldn't tell". 😐 Especially when all the other colors are the exact same 😐 It's almost insulting lmao like do you really think I'm stupid enough to go for that, or are we all just socialized into knowing I'll be forced to 🤣

[creatingblackcharacters]

Visible difference, but, I can let slide with exceptions. ✅

😑 so I must truly look like Booboo the fool, to you. ❌

[creatingblackcharacters]

If you have questions, I have a lesson:

No, That’s Not ‘How Color Works’. - Whitewashing

When I was in 5th grade a girl told me that “black boys couldn’t be pretty” it took me a long time to see something worthwhile in the mirror

Concept: one of those standard plots where a magic user and a tech expert are arguing over whose purview the weird thing of the week falls under, but it's the magic user who's insisting this has to be a science thing and the tech expert who's insisting it has to be a magic thing, because they're not arguing over worldview, they're arguing over jurisdiction and neither of them wants to be the one who has to deal with it

"Look, it's a circuitboard. That makes this tech - your territory"

"That 'circuitboard' sure looks like a runic circle to me. Your territory"

[vigilantsycamore]

"Look, it's an evil lab! That's your circus!"

"Yeah, and there's a demon inside! That's your monkey!"

the Relationship Ambiguity Zone™️ is a beautiful place to be. safe place to put your characters. put all characters into Relationship Ambiguity Zone. is that guy your mentor or your dad? Ambiguous!!! are you friends or enemies? Ambiguous!!! is it romantic? is it platonic? is it sexual? Ambiguous!!!!!!! never categorize anything ever in the Relationship Ambiguity Zone. just make them fucking weird about each other.

[what-even-is-thiss]

You shouldn’t date or become serious friends/partners with someone if you can’t stomach the thought of being stuck in a car or train with them for 16 hours.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Here’s my logic:

You should be able to work together to solve unexpected problems like fixing a flat tire or getting lost in an unfamiliar station

You should feel comfortable and safe enough around this person that you can sit in comfortable silence

You should be able to keep each other interested and deal with each others boredom in a healthy way

If you’re gonna form a long term partnership with someone you should probably be able to tolerate each other while locked in a small box for a few hours

[what-even-is-thiss]

These tags are hilarious even though I don’t think you intended them to be.

*pulls European closer* The most populous countries in the world are China, India, the United States, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, and Brazil in that order, with these seven nations alone making up 48.16% of the world population. You may note with the aid of a map that many of these nations are quite large, and would take several days of travel to go across either in cars or on boats. Almost half of the world's population lives in places where you can travel in a cramped vehicle for days and still be within the country. Your worldview is limited and Europe is a tiny outlier in travel time and standards for international relations.
