THIS. I saw a post the other day that literally said if you do it to a fictional character, you’ll do it in real life.

No. Just NO.

I’m so glad someone put it into words.

Fiction and art are important because they offer us space to think about things we are “not supposed” to think about. They allow us to form honest, well thought out opinions of things we are not always free to publicly mention being curious or unsure about.

That is why I think “art,” DEFINED BROADLY TO INCLUDE POP CULTURE AND FANWORK ALIKE, is important to humans as a species and as a group with culture.

[queen-cyclops]

I agree, but some of y’all will take this as an excuse to write some type of erotic fantasy incest, pedophelia, etc and like this isn’t for y’all.

[chelonianmobile]

Yes it is, because there is nothing so vile that exploring the motives of those who commit it in fiction won’t help us to understand it and therefore prevent it from happening for real, and stopping it happening for real matters more than stopping it happening in fiction.

[failure-artist]

“explore terrible things in fiction” means exploring all terrible things in fiction, not just the terrible things you approve of.

i am impressed that i missed this glorious example of someone completely missing my point “I agree” actually, your majesty… you don’t

Choosing To Be Grateful

Something I had the opportunity of learning in the last two months is that most times, there is a lot more good than bad in the different seasons of our lives. But as humans it's naturally very easy to focus on the bad. I don't know if that's because bad means there is a problem to be solved and so it's wired to our survival instincts. I don't know. But what I have learned is that it's really really important to recognize and appreciate everything good in your life, even in the middle of a bad situation.

I know first hand that sometimes it can be really hard to see that good sometimes, to find those things to be grateful for at first. But once you start getting into the practice of doing that, it gets easier and easier. I'm not saying that there won't be times where no matter how many times you breathe, no matter how pretty the sky outside is, no matter how many people comfort you that you'll still feel horrible. Those times come, and maybe they're inevitable.

But those times are not all the time. They are not every bad situation. At least, they don't have to be. Grounding ourselves in the little and big things that make us smile and that leave us fulfilled is crucial! Making a decision to be grateful is probably one of the most important decisions we can make.

We wrote a first draft. Completed it! Now we're on to starting another first draft because why not? So when January comes we'll be writing a new first draft and editing the second first draft. And I say we, because everyone in my life is on this journey with me, whether they know it or not.

'oh, what's your novel about?'

me, internally: ... a fifteen year analysis of myths and how they interact, and about what editing a text means in both my own book and what we get from the bible, and what's left of my catholic upbringing in my analytic atheist soul, and what feminine archetypes are (the mother, the sister, the princess, the river, can there be more than one of each, can one woman be all of them), the analysis of 'can gods have faith in something greater than themselves', the inclusion of comtemporary themes like homophobia, racism, police profiling, immigration, bodily authonomy, feminism, abortion, in a period setting; the nuancing of good and evil, my feelings of being an immigrant, and a woman, and generally powerless---

me, externally: Oh it's a fantasy story set in ancient Egypt. Its main character is a princess.

here is a super helpful website for this kinda thing!

the first result isn’t always the one you’re looking for but when you press enter it’ll give you a ton of words related to your query that’ll probably have what you’re wanting, or something better

Sabotage

I am reading this book by Paulo Coelho, The Valkyries, and there is a part in the book that really struck.

"I'm talking about your pact with defeat... We have a contract, you and I: not to win when victory is possible," she insisted.

This speaks on so many volumes! Each of us has at some point in our life made this contract with defeat. It stems from places of insecurity, disappointments and trauma and is so buried deep down inside of us that it manifests in our lives subconsciously. There are so many areas in which we end up sabotaging ourselves and we don't even realize we are doing it. 😩

But it's definitely okay to break that contract. To address the voice that tells us we don't deserve to have good things happen to us, for us and around us, and let it know that we do! It's not an easy overnight change. But just beginning to understand and explore this concept is a start.

idk guys, I just think it’s low-key rude that I’m restricted to a mortal lifespan and therefore don’t have infinite time to write :/ where do I go to lodge a complaint about this utter disgrace?
