writing is easy actually. all you have to do is tell people what happened

i call this phenomenon "god hates me"

[commiefaggoth]

so embarrassing to watch yourself become obsessed with a character that feels tailor made for you specifically to become obsessed with. feels like i fell into a trap made just for me. like damn they got me. those are all the things i like and go crazy for

[lysimachias]

Not "The Character did nothing wrong" or "The Character is irredeemably awful" but a secret third thing: The Character may display moments of deep love & compassion, may even have a strong sense of ethics, and may also be capable of brutal cruelty that is irreconcilable with those traits. The constant tension between the different sides of The Character's nature is exactly what makes them compelling, and attempting to reduce them down to simply "a terrible person" or "innocent & misunderstood" is missing the point of the questions a media with nuanced characters is asking you to consider

“male character gets a girlfriend whos just him but a girl” is one of the worst tropes except for grundgetta from sesame street who rules

My favorite bit of the wiki for this absolute power couple:

[writercultureis]

writer culture is knowing you're going to look back on your work and cringe but also knowing you won't improve if you don't write right now so you churn out some bullshit anyways

repeating this to myself forever and ever

[cyberneticnightmares]

saw an elderly woman walking around with a tote bag whose design were the four AO3 fic category squares and she very excitedly asked if i was a reader or a writer bcs nobody else at the con had recognized it, and after telling her that i've been writing fic since fanfic.net, she solemnly nodded and explained that she'd been reading fic since "the days of personal websites" but that she only started writing fanfic when she was 47 and oh my god when i tell you that i genuinely teared up on the spot!!!!! like!!! HELL YEAH???? LITERALLY NEVER TOO OLD TO START WRITING. NEVER TOO OLD TO WRITE AND SHARE YOUR FIC.

her enthusiastic "i'm a very nice and bubbly person, i swear! but i love writing angst and major character death :)" nearly took me the fuck out.

icon. legend. diva. i wish her nothing but a kajillion million comments and kudos. i hope her fic updates crash AO3. i hope she knows i'm promoting her to my personal patron saint of AO3.

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

Das hier treibt sich seit ner Woche in meiner Galerie rum und ich weiß bei Gott nicht warum ichs noch nich gepostet hab??

Dementsprechend hab ich leider auch vergessen welchen Fisch Pips bekommen hat, es war irgendein kleiner Schwarmfisch, vielleicht n Hering oder so I forgor. Lutz kriegt ne Forelle, simpel und chunky, Ralph kriegt n Kaulbarsch, unscheinbar aber mit Biss
