do you ever wonder if your choice of blorbo is random baby chick imprinting, or in fact a deep physiological profile that reveals all the things you need therapy for

the cozy hopepunk cottagecore reputation people have given ghibli is insane. every ghibli movie is about some combination of: 1) the (often violent) loss of innocence, 2) world war II, 3) the screaming, bloody, inevitable death of the natural world, and 4) airplane

What's the worst trap you see amateur writers falling into?
Not appreciating the whole story.
Scroll around "Writing Tumblr" for a few hours and you'll see something to the effect of "I was daydreaming about this big fight/plot twist/dramatic irony, but I hate writing all the stuff leading up to it!"
Everything leading up to the big third act is treated as an obligation. The 'homework' before you get to the 'fun part.'
See this enough times, and you start to realize why you see so many stories meandering around for the first two acts until they can have their big, dramatic climax. You start to see why everything that isn't a Baysplosion is considered "filler" now.
If you're only into writing to write memorable third act reveals, then everything you write is going to be terrible.
There's a video by Noralities going over an old anime, which she admits she hated at first because she was skipping the episodes that were dubbed "filler" by some idiot, and her friend who suggested it to her had to sit her down and tell her that the filler was some of the best parts. And she was in disbelief about that.
"A character-based show feels worse when you watch only the plot episodes and none of the character episodes? Say it ain't so!"
It is a moment of spectacular brainrot in what is otherwise an S-Tier Youtuber, because it's such a basic concept that some people will weirdly fight you on.
Character moments, slow moments, things that might be considered boring to a hyperactive, plot-obsessed weirdo, these are all important. Trying to have a big grand plot without these things is like trying to build a bridge without supports. If you don't have as much of a deep and abiding love for those things as you do for the big fight scene at the end, you're going to make shit.
There are entire genres of storytelling that don't have villains, fight scenes, or dramatic plot twists. There are NO genres of storytelling that don't have characters and character relationships as a core component of them.

sometimes your distress does indicate you should stop and respect your limitations. at other times it's more of a baby aquatic mammal being introduced to water for the first time thing. Too bad the difference is so hard to tell.

Walter wide was many things but it is extremely funny how he neglected his own flesh and blood teenage son in order to be an even worse father to a wholly different guy

My contempt towards a brand is directly proportional to how often they interrupt my playlists.
