This is a question for you and any of your followers who see this, is it weird that I genuinely enjoy and thrive under hyperfixation? Like it’s so fun and I adore it and I’m absolutely miserable when I don’t have a fixation.

That’s not weird at all! Everyone who experiences hyperfixations really enjoys them - the whole reason we get them is because our brain finds something that provides us with dopamine, then fixates on it so we get as much dopamine as possible.

Sometimes we can find them a bit annoying (like when we’re meant to be working and all we can think about is watching the next episode of Doctor Who...) but when we’re actually doing something related to our hyperfixation, we do genuinely enjoy ourselves.

Hey so here’s a random little vent/question/funny story for ya. Warning for gore mentions.

When me and my sisters were kids (like 6-15) my dad would take us ice skating in the winter. And before we’d go he would show us videos of people getting their throats slit by skates or their cheeks split open or their arms slashed by other players’ skates. Then my sisters and I would cling to the wall on the edge of the rink, too scared to actually try and skate. And he’d wonder why we were so scared.

I haven’t thought of this in years but my sister reminded me today. According to my mother this is not normal and my dad is awful for doing this. Is this actually not normal? Him showing us graphic and violent videos right before we do a family activity that that video took place in?

Like I don’t think he was trying to scare us I think he thought the videos were funny and just wanted to share it with us? But that’s still not okay, is it? Cuz I was like 6 or 7 the first time this happened.

Anyway, sorry to dump on you, and Happy New Year!

yeah def not normal! i’m 25 and that shit would terrify me 😭 i’m so sorry he did that. idk if he was tryna to make sure you guys knew the safety but still that’s insane to show, especially to a children!

happy new years!

My story has a transgender 19 yo boy. (Ftm). One of my characters is extremely transphobic. How can I have a transphobic character in my book without making out myself to be transphobic, because I’m absolutely not and I don’t want anyone assuming I am.

I first want to suggest examining the role of the transphobia in the story. What parts of this character’s transphobia are expressed in the text, and why are they there? Is this to cause conflict? Portray the character as a bad person? I think it’s something you need to be able to justify.

I would also consider how these beliefs reflect on the transphobic character, and psychologically why they are transphobic. Transphobia isn’t some kind of serious pathological illness or anything (generally transphobia causes mental illness in trans survivors of it, leading us to be prosecuted further). But all attitudes of social bigotry come from somewhere. They are not innate.

Maybe the character wasn’t exposed to trans people, maybe they were exposed to people who propagandized that trans people were a danger to society. Maybe they just grew up around cissexism (like most of us have) and didn’t want to think twice about it. Maybe they’re just stubborn and doubled down once after being called out - they couldn’t deal with the rejection or idea that someone has more knowledge (power) than them. Being wrong is something a lot of people can’t deal with. And once they double down on their mistakes instead of growing from them, some people will keep digging that hole and it’s harder to turn back and face all that guilt you’ve racked up from doubling down.

My point is: don’t just put transphobia in the plot just because. Making something ~more realistic~ isn’t a good reason to potentially expose trans readers to something unnecessarily traumatizing with no sense of closure or trust in what they are reading to prioritize their protection in the matter.

It is also perfectly reasonable to acknowledge or briefly mention that a character is transphobic without showing actual scenes of it happening. I’ve said this before here, but the whole “show don’t tell” advice is not all that great when it comes to things like ensuring proper representation of complex issues. Sometimes you have to tell. (It’s generally the smoothest in dialogue, just as a tip.)

I also personally feel like it’s still good writing to talk outright about things which are seldom talked about in general. The whole reason observational comedy works for example, is because it’s people talking about things that everybody just kind of accepts without questioning. The commentary is a way to reflect on that and talk about why we accept it and if we should or not.

Another thing: your character’s transphobia cannot be treated neutrally within the story. Transphobia causes real and measurable harm and if you want to make trans readers safe, you need to treat the transphobia as serious as it is. I’m not asking you to make a big drawn out plot device of it, but you can’t just drop in transphobic characters without them being acknowledged to be transphobic characters. If they use specific arguments that seem convincing to the uninitiated, you need to call attention to the problems with those arguments somehow within the story. And the problems need to be clear.

Transphobia isn’t just a casual character trait. Someone’s character traits may lead them to transphobia, but it’s more complicated than that.

Idk if you still watch criminal minds but I’m looking for a specific episode where a guy tries to kidnap a newborn from a hospital and he shoots Morgan? I’ve been looking for it for MONTHS please help me. My only other option is to binge the entire show and wait to find it.

oH MY GOSH. I am so sorry. This has been here for months and I’m just now getting to it. :( WOW. SO. If you haven’t watched the entire series by now (and there’s a good chance you probably have #oops), the episodes you’re looking for is 8x11, Perennials. [x]

Hope this helps! And again, I’m SO sorry it took me so long to reply. :P
