Basic rules for analysing fiction, an incomprehensive list jotted down in a hurry:
The protagonist isn’t always right
The protagonist isn’t always good
The protagonist isn’t always written to be relatable or likeable
The narrator isn’t always right
The narrator isn’t always good
The narrator isn’t always telling the truth
The narrator isn’t always the author
The protagonist’s moral compass, the narrator’s moral compass and the author’s moral compass are three entirely different things that only occasionally overlap
Pay attention to what characters do and not just what they say
Pay special attention when what the characters do is at odds with what they say
A lot of the time the curtains are blue for a reason. If they aren’t, you should read better books
One more:
12. The antagonist isn’t always telling the truth
So many times I have seen people apparently just … forget that it’s possible for fictional characters to be (a) mistaken or (b) lying, and say things like “we know this to be true because [character] said so here” (or, worse, “this fact is canon because [character] said it”).
The antagonist isn’t always telling the truth, the protagonist isn’t always telling the truth, the secondary and minor characters aren’t always telling the truth, the narrator may be telling the truth but if the narrator is also a character in the story then don’t count on it.

You may notice I frequently comment on the assumptions people make about animal facilities based on their branding. Frequently, people assume accredited facilities are inherently better for animals than unaccredited facilities, or assume sanctuaries are inherently more moral / better at caring for their animals than zoos.
I want to show you an example of why I am always, always skeptical of these assumptions.
If you’re in the California area, you might have heard about Hank the Tank - who is actually a Henrietta, btw - the 500 pound nuisance bear from Lake Tahoe who broke into 21 homes in search of food. She was recently captured by wildlife officials and moved to a sanctuary in Colorado. The Wild Animal Sanctuary has three main facilities, two in Colorado and one in TX. To give you some context, it’s the biggest carnivore sanctuary in the country - they advertise somewhere between 300-500 animals, mostly large carnivores, between their properties. It’s where most of the Tiger King cats went. It’s PETA’s preferred placement for confiscated exotic animals. So, obviously, it’s got to be great, right? Except… take a look at what they posted about Henrietta’s arrival.
Here’s their post about Henrietta’s arrival at the Refuge, the large facility in Colorado that isn’t open to the public. Let’s take a closer look at that food trough…
What do we see here? An entire rotisserie chicken that is either blackened or highly seasoned, and a whole ham. Maybe a second chicken underneath the pile, I can’t quite tell. The sanctuary gets the majority of their bear food donated from groceries stores once it’s past the sell-by date, so we know those are older meats and they’re full of a ton of salt. Then, for fruit and veg, there’s a cantaloupe, mango, corn, avocado, grapes, and apples. Maybe a pepper or two, it’s hard to tell. That’s a lot of sugar and not a lot of fiber or roughage.
But… on top of it and to the right… are those Twizzlers?
Yes.
The sanctuary confirmed on Facebook that they fed this recently rescued obese bear what looks like almost an entire pack of Twizzlers.
I don’t know of any world in which it’s appropriate to feed candy to a bear. Maybe a piece or two as a really high value reinforcer for hard behaviors (that isn’t relevant here, it’s openly against this sanctuary’s ethos to do any husbandry or medical training). An entire pack of Twizzlers is just appalling. But it’s not uncommon for this facility! I have a book written about their operations and animal care (that I bought at their gift shop this spring) which openly discusses how the bears get fed bread, doughnuts, marshmallows, and all sorts of incredibly unhealthy food that comes in with the grocery donations.
But hey, this is apparently fine for the bears, according to the sanctuary’s founder. He was quoted in that same book as saying “Bears are the only animal I know of that can eat insane amounts of sugar and it never hurts them. It does not hurt their organs. They do not get clogged arteries. They do not have high blood pressure. In the wild they eat all these sweet berries in the fall, and they convert sugar to fat… so the more sugar they get the better… we would all love to have a system like that!”
Now while it’s true that bears have physiological adaptations that modulate their insulin production and sensitivity in ways that appear to prevent them from from developing diabetes, that does’t mean it’s healthy for them to regularly eat processed carbohydrates, sugar, and general junk food. And remember - Henrietta gained her fame because of how incredibly overweight she already is, and because she was seeking out human food, According to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, a healthy weight for a normal adult black bear is between 100-300 pounds. So, obviously, the best thing to do is… continue to feed her candy.
Then, later on in the book, it details how they have to bribe a camel to sit tight for a regular medical examination (since they don’t train for medical behaviors) by letting him drink a can of Mountain Dew each time.
If a zoo was known publicly to be feeding their animals Mountain Dew or a couple Twizzlers - even just once, on a rare occasion - they’d be eviscerated in the media and by public opinion. But feeding out inappropriate junk food appears to be a pretty common practice at this place, and it just goes unscrutinized because everyone assumes sanctuaries are inherently better for animals.
So, long story short, never make assumptions about the quality of a facility based on it’s branding or accreditation. (TWAS is accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries). If you have concerns about the ethics or practices of a facility, always try to put your preconceptions aside, go and see for yourself, and think critically about what you see and what you’re told.
I have the urge to write another birdtale story 😯
But this time from the horrortale au where sans is a type of vulture and readz is a spizaetus. I have one idea where they are booted into a harem-like au due to an accident with that verse’s y/n and sans, but I’m still brainstorming other stories I could do with the horror bird verse….
Hot take, will probably get backlash from this but I don’t give two shits:
Whenever someone has a crush on a character and is like “omg someone needs to write a yandere fic about them!! 🥰” I’m a little weirded out. If we all collectively agree that yandere is a horror trope, why are we trying to turn every fictional crush into a yandere? You think Bakugo is hot therefore you want to imagine him as a yandere? It would make your dreams come true if Levi were to lock you in a box and shove you into a pine cone? Your type is men who are (height) with (occupation), and (personality), and you happen to love yanderes that perfectly fit that description? That quite literally means you are turning yandere into a romantic fantasy. Are y’all ok?
When I got comments like “omg I love Sen, I really hope he doesn’t become a yandere” and then "Nooo why did sen have to be yandere i actually liked him! :( ", and also: “I am dreading for when Ben becomes a yandere, I don’t want it to happen” I am literally overwhelmed with joy. Yes!!! I have successfully established that yanderes are AWFUL and TOXIC, and thus the readers desire normal, healthy love interests instead!! We won!!!
Then I’ll see someone like “omg I really wish [character] becomes yandere for us 🥺😳.” I wail on the inside bc that statement tells me everything I need to know about that user’s view on yandere.
idk who needs this reminder, but yandere is HORROR. It’s BAD. Like, objectively bad. I understand being intrigued by a character and wondering what they would be like as a yandere. Like, “oh bakugo is an interesting character and he’s also really hotheaded, I wonder what type of yandere he’d be and how one would navigate that?” Or “I’d like to see Levi as a yandere bc I wonder if he would be the cold, calculating type or the more overtly violent/possessive kind.” That kind of mentality is perfectly fine because it doesn’t inherently romanticize yandere. But some of y’all genuinely sound like you want them to be a yandere for the sole purpose of fulfilling your romantic fantasies.
Now I know some ppl will be like “it’s just fiction! It’s not real!” and I’m confused why y’all are even looking at my blog bc I have communicated before that I cannot STAND people or stories that romanticize yandere, EVEN in fiction. Fiction affects reality. What’s next, romanticizing rape? Oh, wait, that’s already happened. 💀
