Fuck NaNoWriMo

It's always been a shit way to write a book. Slamming through fifty thousand words in a month leads to burnout and a garbage draft you'll spend more time unfucking than if you'd actually just paced yourself.

I'm proposing Novel Outline November

Start with your idea on November 1st.

Write something for your novel every day. The only unacceptable amount is 0.

Attempt to complete the plot in 50K words. Stick with that as a limiting factor so you focus on what's most important to your story.

When it's done it's done! Everyone is a winner!

You will

Develop good writing habits

Challenge yourself to write long form

Create a base that can be expanded into commercial fiction (70-100K) or genre fiction (100-110K)

Happy writing!

Yeah, I'm gonna be blunt, the whole reincarnation aspect of Oshi no Ko should not have existed. There's nothing in this story that couldn't work just as well if Aqua was just a normal edgy teen who watched his mom die as a kid and developed PTSD/a desire for vengeance from that. It doesn't affect the plot, it's barely present in any character interactions or relationships (even between Aqua and Ruby they almost never talk about it!), none of its themes have any reliance on Goro and Sarina to get the point across... Really, its only contribution is making the protagonist a pedophile and making every potential romantic subplot a five-alarm emergency siren. It's a ten ton weight dragging the entire story down for no goddamn reason and you'd barely have to edit the earliest chapters at all to get rid of it entirely. That wouldn't fix all Oshi no Ko's problems, but it would at least make it salvageable. Which currently, despite how shockingly good this season had been, it is not.

As a writer, the way "Girls und Panzer" delivers its absolutely unhinged world-building so straightfacedly and matter-of-factly is a genuine inspiration to me.

Like I absolutely aspire to creating things as completely, ludicrously nuts as the way high school works in GuP's universe. Nobody questions the need for girls' high schools to exist solely as massive city-sized ocean-going vessels that dwarf countless sci-fi starships and have tank fighting clubs.

yeah, but you do mean 'loveless' like 'romanceless' right? Just cause you're not interested in a romantic partnership, and you're never attracted to anyone romantically, that doesn't mean you can't love your family and your friends. Am I understanding wrong? I feel like it's a widely accepted concept that 'love' isn't just romantic, it's about caring about someone, no matter if they're your family or platonic friend or your pet.

No, "loveless" means love-less. Another anon also asked me to explain as well so:

"Lovelessness" in the aro context comes from the essay I Am Not Voldemort by K.A Cook. The essay confronts normative ideas on love, its inherent positivity and what it means to not love. From the introduction, which brings up the question of non-romantic love:

This June, I saw an increasing number of positivity and support posts for the aromantic and a-spec communities discussing the amatonormativity of “everyone falls in love”. I agree: the idea that romantic love is something everyone experiences, and is therefore a marker of human worth, needs deconstruction. Unfortunately, a majority of these posts are replacing the shackles of amatonormativity with restrictive lines like “everyone loves, just not always romantically”, referencing the importance of loving friends, QPPs, family members and pets. Sometimes it moves away from people to encompass love for hobbies, experiences, occupations and ourselves. The what and how tends to vary from post to post, but the idea that we do and must love someone or something, and this love redeems us as human and renders us undeserving of hatred, is being pushed to the point where I don’t feel safe or welcome in my own aromantic community. Even in the posts meant to be challenging the more obvious amatonormativity, it is presumed that aros must, in some way, love. I’ve spent weeks watching my a-spec and aro communities throw neurodiverse and survivor aros under the bus in order to do what the aromantic community oft accuses alloromantic aces of doing: using their ability to love as a defence of their humanity. Because I love, they say, I also don’t deserve to be a target of hatred, aggression and abuse. But what if I don’t love? What if love itself has been the mechanism of the hatred and violence I have endured? Why am I, an aro, neurodiverse survivor of abuse and bullying, still acceptable collateral damage?

The author criticizes the idea of "true love" that is incapable of harm. Ze questions why we construct love in that way, and how it ignores and simplifies the experiences of victims of abuse ("It’s comforting to think that a love that wounds isn’t real love, but it denies the complexity of experience and feeling had by survivors. It denies the complexity of experience and feeling that makes it harder for us to identify abuse and escape its claws. It denies the validity of survivors who look at love and feel an honest doubt about its worth, as a word or a concept, in our own interactions and experiences.") Ze talks about being forced to say "I love you" to transphobic, abusive parents whose feelings of love was the justification for their abuse.

The core of what "loveless" as an concept is about is summed up in this quote:

There is no substantial difference between saying “I’m human because I fall in love”, “I’m human because I love my friends” and “I’m human because I love calligraphy”. All three statements make human worth contingent on certain behaviours, feelings and experiences. Expanding the definition of what kinds of love make us human does nothing but save some aros from abuse and antagonism … while telling survivor and neurodiverse aros, who are more likely to have complex relationships to love as a concept or are unable to perform it in ways recognised by others, that we’re still not worthy.

Lovelessness is against any kind of statement which quantifies humanity (and implicitly, human worth) in the ability to feel or act or experience certain things. Humans are human by virtue of being human, and nothing else. And, it is socially constructed! "Love" has no natural definition! Some people are not comfortable using "love" to describe positive feelings and relationships, and some people do not feel those positive feelings in general. And those people deserve the right to define their own experiences and their own relationship to the social construct of love.

In essence, lovelessness is both a personal as well as (in my opinion) a political identity, born from aro and mad experiences that challenges not just amatonormativity but all ideas that associate personhood and worth with the ability to feel certain things.

& as a note, there is also the term "lovequeer" which describes using the term "love" in ways which contradict mainstream understandings of what it means to love, and which kinds of love are considered worthwhile.

I'm NT so probably I'm in no position to speak up on that matter, but I headcanon both Nishizumi sisters and their mother are somewhere on the spectrum, and it got me thinking, maybe the tendency in Nishizumi style to ride the tank while outside coupola might be a way to cope with all the sensory input that comes with riding a tank? As I said, I'm NT, I've never ridden a tank, so I don't know if it could work that way?

Honestly, I have a lot of doubts like that, and that is the reason why in my fanfiction I mostly only hint that Miho/Maho/Shiho are autistic and mostly stick only to ND-coding without fully commiting to write them explocitly as autistic. I know that's not the right way to do it, but I'm too afraid of writing something incorrectly, and that feeling doesn't go away, no matter how much research I do.

I wonder how autistics deal with tankery, and that's if they even joined the sport in the first place.

I know tanks to be very loud and very hot and/or smelly when you're inside one, so i understand it to be very hard because of sensory issues.

But i'm fascinated by the concept of special ed sensha do or something, i wonder how, specifically, the autistics will be taught how to use tanks for sport if it's very loud and overstimulating.

I understand that some autistic individuals to be perfectly fine with it, or it doesn't impact their ability to use them at all due to them either liking it or using headphones to lessen the sensory impact, but i mostly wonder about the SPED ones.

I know that some may tell me that they just don't or in the case of Ooarai, it's not an elective so they don't have to, but what about those who really want to join the sport but can't?

I think i'll solve this by making a fanfiction, maybe on here on this blog.

speaking from experience unfortunately

[maslorzech]

everyone’s talking about how unhinged fans are nowadays about their blorbos. well let me tell you that when the polish writer henryk sienkiewicz first published his novel ‘with fire and sword’ in parts between 1883 and 1884, and killed off the beloved character longinus podbipięta, people nationwide were so upset they’d go to church and ask for requiem masses to be held in his memory. match THAT freak

Sometimes I think about Kinderszenen.

Sometimes I think about how tumultuous Robert Schumann’s early life was, with mental illness running rampant through his immediate family and losing his father at 16 years old.

Sometimes I think about how Kinderszenen was published in 1838, and Robert lost use of his hands in 1836.

Sometimes I play Kinderszenen and I feel what Robert must have felt while composing. A sterling recognition and pleasant familiarity mixed with yearning nostalgia and a deep, deep loss of innocence we can never regain.

Sometimes I think about Kinderszenen.

It wasn't a yuribait, we don't need actual confirmation that relationship between characters is ineed a romantic one, everything can be just subtextual and it is enough to consider it yuri!

guys... are you fucking hearing yourself

the dark irony of the fact that yukine-p made her daughter take up fake, completly different persona as an industry produced idol and made Kano reject her own sense of self and personhood, but then fell in love with sincere authenticity of small, indie artist Mahiru's art, and is upset when this authenticity is lost when Mahiru tries to ajust to industry standard, makes me want to scream

[maslorzech]

Instead of endlessly projecting my own relationship trauma on MahiKano and drowning in sorrow, I took a look back and damn, I had realised something

Of course anime produced for 50th anniversary of an anime studio will depict making it as an official artist in entertainment industry as ultimate goal in life, and proof of treating your art with love and respect it deserves

That's why the narrative stands complately on Mahiru's side, that's why creators are on Mahiru's side - if they were anything like Kano, they obviously wouldn't have been working on that project

Right now I'm praying on my knees that trailer of episode 11, through showing Kano's mother give Mahiru constructive criticism, purposefully doesn't hint that business with SunDolls and Hayakawa might harm Mahiru's creativity and exploit her to make final reveal of that fact more unexpected, and not because Yukine-P is not that bad and abusive, after all if you, unlike Kano know how to behave and remain usefull

#I need it to be as big pop-cultural phenomenon as Chłopi #Chopin is a new obsession of mine

First shooting for the movie "Chopin, Chopin!", about the life and work of the legendary Polish composer, will soon begin.

Unofficially, it is said to be one of the most expensive productions in the history of Polish cinema. Its budget is reportedly estimated at PLN 64 million.

The title role will be played by Eryk Kulm Jr. Below you can see the first photo of the actor in Chopin's style.

Premiere of the film "Chopin, Chopin!" is scheduled for 2025. Shooting for the film will start in August this year and will be shot in Poland, France and Majorca. It is worth adding that Kulm Jr., who has a musical education, will perform all Chopin's songs that will appear in the film himself.

Really annoyed with how many Twitter people are demonizing Kano. She did go too harsh at the end but Mahiru isn’t some innocent victim in this. She got tripped up by her own issues and accepted an offer from her potential girlfriend’s abusive mother.

It is understandable she wants to like get further in her career, but being willing to do it with the help of your supportive girlfriend’s dirtbag mother who you do know she is on the outs with is not good. They’re both very hurt people so I’m not gonna be too hard on Mahiru really dropping the ball there, but why is Kano not granted this same grace?

I think it’s because Mahiru didn’t use harsh words and so people are willing to ignore the fact she did put herself before the people who care about her. And she’ll learn obviously. That’s a given. But it’s not fair Kano isn’t allowed to have her breaking moment after her fucking mother appears in her life again just to try and snatch away the only fucking good thing she has.
