being a writer is wild

like there are some days where all the words click into place and the sentences flow like silk and then there are other days where your plot is undergoing radioactive decay and you're about to punch through your laptop screen in frustration

i do write for attention, actually, because that's a normal reason to create art

Me: Oh, god, what if they think I'm cringe for making content about their OC? I should ask first. I shouldn't assume they want art or fics for their OC. What if they hate it? What if they make fun of me?

Me getting art or writing about my ocs: I will print this out and eat it so it becomes a part of me.

“the problem is its never gonna be what all the fans want” imo the problem is the majority of fans have bad fucking taste like. if you write a story with the intent to keep editing it in line with what fans want you’re gonna end up with a shitty story. obviously you can take in criticism from early access but once you publish the thing you shouldn’t constantly be retconning characterization wtf. good god

All my wips are paused right now which I'm pretty sure is bad for my health. I thought I'd have more energy now that I'm on a break from school but I instead have less??? Wild.

Honestly, I need to see more of the “MC does not so great thing in a worse situation in order to survive” trope. Like listen—the thing about people doing things to survive is that survival is not always moral, and yet in media I see characters like this villainized or the MC always gets to do the moral thing.

Here’s the thing: a lot of times, our options don’t include the moral thing. So let your MC choose between one bad thing and another. Let them decide which one they can live with.
