Just my little corner of the Tumblr-verse. A literal mess of everything. A sincere and crippling love for people who don't exist or are unattainable (it's not hard to figure out who these people are, just look at my dash). Bit of a geek--Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, CSI, Hannibal... 24 | Bi/Ace | she/her

Not to be a drooling socialist cuck, but if a full day's labour can't purchase three square meals, 24 hour's worth of rent and utilities, a fraction of a month's clothing budget, and a reasonable portion to be saved for when you can no longer comfortably work, what the fuck are we doing shit for

Someone: hey, if you’re a writer, why don’t I ever see you writing?

Me, a writer who’s been daydreaming about three characters, two unwritten chapters, some scraps of dialogue, and a partial plot that still needs to be heated up in the microwave before it’s usable:

YES >:(

Some days it’s definitely like that.

Unreliable narrators need to add something to the story. They aren’t an excuse for poor storytelling and inconsistencies.

gracebeereblogs

If you have an unreliable narrator, you should be doing twice as much work in your plotting! At every turn of the story, you need to know both what’s actually happening AND what your narrator thinks is happening.

When you’re right, you’re right. And you’re right.

Not only does the author need to know what’s happening on both layers of story, they need to actually write in clues for the reader to telegraph the lower, “true,” layer of the story so the reader is capable of figuring it out if they choose to read closely. Without that double work, an unreliable narrator cannot perform its literary function.

It is the evidence of the truth, not the lie the narrator tells, that makes a narrator unreliable. Otherwise they are just a liar which the audience is incapable of catching due to the hobbling imposed by the medium. Which means the lie may as well be the truth, making it serve no function as a lie.

im just thinking about how Bruno casually brought out both Hernando and Jorge within 2 mins of speaking with his niece for the first time in 10 years

without skipping a singular beat, after Mirabel asks him if he was patching the cracks, he politely informs her that it was Hernando

and he gets into character just like that

and then also not hesitating in eagerly showing her his rat shows

even while being uncomfortable with the whole situation, the fun uncle instincts (and awkward energy) were too strong xD

Just thinking about how Félix encourages Pepa to feel her feelings and still warns her when her outbursts are about to hurt someone.

"You're tornado-ing the flowers, the flowers!" He doesn't tell her that her worrying will make the gift ceremony imperfect, he subtly says that she can worry, just not to ruin the flowers with the wind. (although, since the local botanist is in the house, it's not a big deal)

"Pepi, amor, you're gonna get him all wet!" His only concern is to not get water everywhere, not to tell her not to be sad about their youngest son turning 5 so fast.

"Abuela, get the umbrellas!" When Pepa is having a massive panic attack at their wedding, Félix doesn't mind the hurricane happening, just making sure that the ceremony can still go on without the rain soaking the Bibles or ruining her dress. And, of course, he describes it as a joyous day in the end.

This doesn't limit him to when her mood affects others. He tries to flap away the snowstorm above her head when the cold is very clearly making her even more uncomfortable, even backing her up that Pepa's doing her best to calm down. "Yes >:(" He knows that her gift makes regular negative emotions even worse as she can be randomly soaked or freezing which is unbearable for her.
