Sometimes you have to stop writing because you're just like. Too full of Story right now. I don't know how to explain it. Like sometimes you have to stop because you ran out of Story but sometimes you have to stop because the Story is overflowing and you gotta wait for the pressure to go back down so it doesn't damage the pipes.

No, you see, I wish to be an author. Not in marketing. Or an influencer. I wish to tell my stories, be told I did a fantastic job, and then go back to my hovel to scribble some more. I am delicate of constitution and awkward in crowds.

"character deserved better" (but they were never going to get it that's the stuff great tragedies are made of) vs "character deserved better" (but the writers really blew it)

a writer’s struggle

[rimonoroni2]

my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government

knowing how it tends to go with male authors and their wives it was probably marge who wrote the odyssey

[nondelphic]

writer brain is like “what if this story was a metaphor for grief”

no babes what if this story was finished first

[theotherjax]

What if the real grief was the writing we didn't do along the way

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

but i stay silly! *←said in the most world-weary voice you ever did hear*

[sensiblereblogifposts]

Reblog you stay silly

[weaselle]

on it boss

[grumfy]

yeah actually we removed the big bad wolf from the little red riding hood story because portraying violence against minors is really messed up. yeah. yeah also the wolf narrative was really predatory and had had some icky grooming vibes and a fable meant for literal children shouldn’t have implied p*do shit and grape so now little red riding hood goes into the woods and nothing happens and she goes to grandma’s house. don’t worry our kids will still stick to the path and know not to follow to wolves implicitly because we told them to and children should always do as their told. just like little red riding hood does now.

my comfort characters have fangs and trauma

[gratefulturbot]

i DON'T need them to kiss i need them to come to the sobering realisation that their souls are merged and no part of them is extricable from the other anymore

[an0neemouse]

This is delicious no matter how you slice it, but bonus points for when it's platonic. Like... I love you and will love you forever. No we're never gonna kiss because that would be weird but if you died I'd die... Is such a delicious treat.

☕️- the treatment of female characters in fandom.

recently I've been thinking about how I think some (I repeat some, not all, not even most) of the reason behind why it's harder for female characters to get popular enough to achieve real blorbo/The Character status is a kind of overcompensating reaction to a certain type of male gazey voyeurism in mainstream media. in my horror/tragedy niche I'm seeing six posts a day on my dash along the lines of "mmm I need that brunette bisexual man writhing around crying out in pain," and, yknow, love that, strong agree, but I absolutely never see that kind of blorbo sadism posting where the vague character figure is a woman. the most discussion I ever see of female characters suffering beautifully/sexily is people making fun of booktok m/f dark romance; wanting to see a woman as that kind of "chew toy experiencing the horrors and accidentally being kinda hot about it" protagonist is treated as completely off limits. at best it's laughable and at worst it's a sign of rising fascism.

and I think that sucks! I think there's a huge gap in the market in queer fandom spaces both for women who identify with that Eternal Suffering Era archetype and for people who are attracted to women in that "The Character covered in blood" way. I'm particularly talking to sapphics in the audience right now: I am very much not telling you to eat your vegetables, I'm telling you that you can eat desert without going directly to hell. that brunette bisexual woman can also be covered in blood while having the worst day of her life for five years straight and you won't go to feminism jail for thinking about it.
