Im not that big on cross franchise ships but I *do* think it's Really Funny that there are so few women in xv and the main one is so barely a person in the writing of the game that one of the only m/f pairings I see is Noct with someone from a different game entirely. Bro's canonical wife was more plot-device than character so they had to pull from a game that knew how to make women people

#Oh hey #actually relevant for once

I wonder if my mother knew

That by insisting on controlling

My mealtimes

And enforcing diets

That all she was doing

Was training me to hate myself

More than anyone could ever

Love me?

What is your BIGGEST Toxic Writer Trait?

Any sentence can be a full paragraph long if u try hard and believe in yourself

Got so caught up in dialogue now idk what anyone is doing w their hands

Got so caught up in an action scene now no one has spoken for 10 pages

Abuse of one metaphor you thought was really good and now can’t stop using

WIPs Georg, who has over 1 million unfinished WIPs, is an outlier adn should n

It really WAS supposed to be a one shot this time (now a 200k word epic)

Abuse of a specific word/descriptor you just happen to like

No beta readers we post our barely edited drafts at 2am like MEN

OP how could you forget ___? (Tags)

All of these exactly 100% equally/show results/I’m bald

Disclaimer these are just a small sampling of some possible writer traits I’ve noticed either in myself or in fics I read. Also consider a rb for sample size !

I learned not to trust people; I learned not to believe what they say but to watch what they do. I learned to suspect that everyone is capable of living a lie. I came to believe that other people - even when you think you know them well - are ultimately unknowable.

Love is really dope when you find your person.

"it's refreshing to do things for your partner that they genuinely want and need instead of things that you think they'll want and need" is such an important message and it's TRAGIC that it's right at the end, almost cut off. too many people see videos like this and think the message is "surprise your partner with a grand gesture", but more often than not, the most meaningful gesture is the one that shows you were listening.

My therapist just told me my problem is that I need to write more fanfiction.

This sounds fake but the logic behind it is actually really interesting? She said obsession with a new fandom triggers quick dopamine release when we consume all this related content--it's easy and addictive.

What we're NOT getting is that 'slow dopamine' that's more sustainable and engaging. That's the kind we get from DOING things that take effort but are ultimately rewarding.

So like, she suggested that writing fic and making fanart are ways to balance the quick dopamine of watching a show/reading fic with the slow dopamine of working at something that takes effort.

Moral of the story is you should engage in the process of creation around your favorite things. You'll feel better for it.
