i can always relate to a girl who wants to leave

listen, sometimes it's more powerful for a fictional relationship to be a friendship precisely because friendship is devalued in comparison to romance. anyone can sacrifice themself for the love of their life. but for a friend? if anything, that kind of devotion can be even more moving than if the relationship is romantic. there's a real dramatic power to prioritising friendship in your narratives sometimes.

Now that zionist occupation announced they are going to occupy all of Gaza, their genocidal intent is clear. This was always about ethnic cleansing. That's why they systematically destroyed Gaza and murdered so many civilians. If you still support Israel, you are openly in favor of genocide.

If aid does not enter to Gaza Strip within the next 48 hours — especially baby formula and flour — then prepare yourselves for the largest mass death crime in history.

Talking to my str8 guy coworker and he called two women who are friends with each other “girlfriends” and then he paused, like he was worrying he shouldn’t have said that, and then referred to himself as his guy friend’s boyfriend

no cause why did I just see a video complaining about gay ships...brother this is part of what fandoms do. Canonical friendships can be as platonic as possible onscreen or on paper and there's almost always at LEAST like two or three people out there who'll imagine them as something else, gay or het. People r dying.

One of my favorite things about Weak Hero is how it does not forgive the "innocent" bystanders for remaining silent in cases of extreme bullying.

Gray has no sympathy for his classmates who participated in mocking him and Stephen in secret,

Nor did he pity the student who vandalized his uniform shirt because Teddy Jin threatened him,

Ben yells at the three Eunjang students who witnessed Wolf's rampage,

Even Jimmy, one of the main bullies in the series disapproves when his victims would rather cower in fear than try to help their friends.

Again and again, Weak Hero tells us that being complicit in the violence and harassment around us, can be just as harmful as the act itself.

Rather than showing us the story of a victim who gets stronger to win fights with his bullies, Weak Hero encourages the characters in the background to rise up instead.

To be like Eugene, who tackled bullies who were bigger and stronger than he was, in order to stop them from hitting Gray.

To be like Rowan, who spoke up in defense of kids he didn't even know personally, like Toby and Teddy, when he saw how they were being treated.

To be like Alex, who refused to stay quiet when he heard others talking trash and spreading gossip about Ben behind his back.

The message this webcomic sends is one that isn't seen often in these stories, but feels incredibly impactful. Even if you're Weak, you can and should be a Hero, for the sake of kids like Stephan Ahn and Donald Na, who didn't have enough strength on their own when they really needed it.

Some advice for when you’re writing and find yourself stuck in the middle of a scene:

kill someone

ask this question: “What could go wrong?” and write exactly how it goes wrong

switch the POV from your current character to another - a minor character, the antagonist, anyone

stop writing whatever scene you’re struggling with and skip to the next one you want to write

write the ending

write a sex scene

use a scene prompt

use sentence starters

read someone else’s writing

Never delete. Never read what you’ve already written. Pass Go, collect your $200, and keep going.
