#editor rant

[theblasianwitch]

Without giving too much detail due to client confidentiality. Today I keep retreating to Tumblr because the story I'm editing is pissing me off.

Why is it pissing you off?

I'm so glad you asked. The main characters *inhales deeply* are testing my nerves of their relationship.

This MAN needs to fucking listen to the one rule the woman says to him REPEATEDLY and get the fuck over himself.

If he really wants to be with her, he would listen to just that one rule alone.

That is all. That is my rant. I already drank tea and water and stepped away multiple times but I am in the apex of this story and I can't stop now. I was paid for a job and I'm getting too invested in the success of the woman's business that this MAN (derogatory) keeps getting in the way of.

*releases breath*

Okay. Do we see this? These messages concerning this post? Now, the first message I got about this I crossed the name off because I didn't want to call the person out and they were very sweet in their message. But I've seen five people call me out on this and/or say something about Jack and Hiccup. On the post. I mean, really? You can't just be like the first person and message me politely? See, there's this thing that we humans do, and we do it often. Its a very specific thing. Now, what're those two words I'm looking for...? Oh, yes: make mistakes. I get it. Hiccup and Jack are Dreamworks, not Disney. My mistake. Now messaging people politely to tell them of their mistakes is one thing. But literally calling them out on it on their own post? Little different, sunshine. Now I take criticism very seriously, and have just added it to my brain not to tag Rise of the Guardians and How to Train Your Dragon as Disney anymore. But common courtesy, really. I don't exactly appreciate being screamed at because of something people do everyday. Alright, rant over.
