Living Your Best Writing Conference
In a fit of enthusiasm last fall, I registered for a big, well-regarded writing conference, the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP), But as the time to head out to Kansas City drew near, I found myself more and more second-guessing the decision; my cold feet had nothing to do with the conference offerings and everything to do with my interior emotional landscape. I reflect on all…

"MelJayVik can never work."
Just say you're weak and you hate challenges. 🙄
Also, what challenge? The SECOND Mel understood just how much Jayce cared about Viktor, she was LOCKED IN. My girl had no hesitation.
"We will find Viktor." "Don't worry Jayce, he will come back to us."
Don't play with my girl Mel, her mother is Ambessa, the flexibility was built into her genes. 💀🔥
#You see something controversial and you give up#I see something crazy and say CHALLENGE ACCEPTED 😎#they are not even the whackiest trio#Mel is an absolute sweetheart#and Viktor does not hate her as so many people like to say#they just get annoyed by how easy it is for both of them to manipulate Jayce 😂#meljayvik#meljay#jayvik#arcane netflix#arcane jayce#arcane mel#arcane viktor#y'all are just cowards#just like the association too scared to love Jayce when he was getting all the heat#Mel and Viktor would be too epic if they were placed side by side#the writers were cowards too (at least they had the excuse of a small budget and limited time)#and some of you guys needed timebomb spelt out for you#like honestly#you won't accept anything unless it kisses on screen 💀#that kind of behaviour would not weather the storm of old fandom culture

The biggest tragedy of Jayce's raid on the shimmer refinery wasn't just that he killed Renni's son, it's that that kid died slowly without any sort of comfort or aid. That boy was alive and wheezing by the time when Jayce and Vi slowly (kind of reluctantly) made it down to the ground floor and was still alive enough for Jayce to look directly at him as the light left his eyes.
What's worse is that he died surrounded by shimmer, a single drop could have saved his life! Anybody at the refinery that could have helped him, even in theory, was held at gunpoint by the Enforcers Jayce and Vi brought and could only watch him die. And then his body's just left there for his mom, Renni, to see. This boy was the kid that pulled the alarm on the Enforcers in the first place, he absolutely knew why shimmer was so important to their operation and once Piotover got involved he's deprived of it's aid.
#arcane#arcane meta#jayce talis#what happened to calling the kid's parents jayce?!!??!#i wonder if the writers know EXACTLY why this scene is so messed up#those character descriptions they released don't lend confidence#what was going through Vi's mind tho? she had just been healed with shimmer#did she know there was a way to help that kid#this is kind of the intentional/unintentional running theme with piltovan associated characters#they run at the problems they perceive to have originated in zaun and do whatever their self-righteousness tells them to#without actually knowing anything about ANTHYING in zaun and make things worse#and the only thing that holds them accountable is their actual conscious

911 has the opportunity to do the funniest thing EVER and have Buck drive into work with Bye Bye Bye playing in the background.
Just imagine the power of Bi Buck with the bisexual anthem
#911#911 abc#911 on abc#911 show#911 spoilers#911 season 7#911 s7#evan buckley#oliver stark#911 buck#buck x eddie#buck x tommy#buddie#bisexual#bisexuality#this show already has a habit of associating songs with iconic moments in the show#or just putting in the right song to match the vibe#it would be a missed opportunity if they didn't play the bisexual anthem for buck during this arc#I would lowkey have to riot if they didn't have that happen by the end of the season#so tim and any other 911 writer who might end up seeing this#do it

I want you to remember that "cringe" in the sense that "cringe is dead" is not just a word. It's a mindset. It doesn't go away when you stop using that specific word, and you still need to be mindful that you are not assigning negative moral value to harmless-if-weird interests or concepts
#moo's words#Harry pott.er is not bad because you think it's poorly written#It is problematic because the living writer views support of her work as support of her ideology#haz.bin hotel is not bad because there are too many sound effects or curse words#arcane isn't bad because it's associated with a video game you don't like#Stop treating people like they're lesser for having interests. You are not immune to this mindset#Please feel free to rb. in fact I would appreciate it

✨🏴☠️Playlist character personality tag🏴☠️✨
Thank you for the wonderful and creative game here, @mauannacreates and here @willtheweaver ! I have a song all ready for this character:
No, it isn’t Peter. (Gasp) I know, I know. Shocking, right? However, the character IS from Peter Hart:
Baron Alastair of Port Mayor.
For those of you who haven’t met him yet, you’re in for a treat 😎✨
He is the head of the British Naval Fleet in his province, hired by Duke Matthias to hunt down the Golden Phoenix Gang and bring his son Prince Benjamin back alive. His methods of doing this are….unethical in the VERY generous sense, and conniving at the worst. He is a pirate killer, but one who is willing to make deals with pirates and rival ports to satisfy his own political agenda. After all, how does one challenge a chaotic, crazy captain like Peter Hart? With an equally chaotic (and possibly crazier) Baron.
From the musical Hamilton, “You’ll Be Back:”
youtube
The “love” that is being referred to in this sense isn’t a romantic love, no….it’s a love of absolute power this crazy bastard has over many. As Peter describes him with disdain on his tongue:
“He’s got his hands in many pockets.”

Ever since I read @a-very-fond-farewell ‘s fic (pls read Lamb Loose!!!) and they touch on the mythology of three-legged crow/Hou Yi/Samjok-o at the back of Doyoung’s jacket MY MIND IS BLOWN 🤯🤯 LIKE IT FINALLY MAKE SENSE!!!
The mythology fits Doyoung’s fate really well, but both Doyoung and Dongsoo are two sides of the same coin so I’d like to interpret it in a way that it affects him as well. Dongsoo shot him down, but he too turn into a three-legged crow 😔
#I’m pretty sure the director + writers of Evilive put that legend into account bc THERE’S NO WAY ITS A COINCIDENCE#NIKI YOUR RESEARCH IS CHEF KISS#I WOULDNT HAVE KNOWN WITHOUT YOU#I’ve always associated DY with wings without even realising how close to canon it is#it’s not ooc after all#also HELLO NIKI I SAW U MASS REBLOGGING I ENJOY READING YOUR TAGS#ok time to sleep fr#I will post my art here more often#evilive#biography of a villain#악인전기#도영동수#dyds#seo do young#han dong soo#fifi’s art#shhhsoftnwet

HWA writer is doing a vote on Artificial Intelligence and a round up on what graphic designers actually do and why you shouldn't shoot your foot.
So writer news the HWA is voting about AI use, both in writing and covers. Most of my social media bubble is saying NO. 'cause obviously, it's stealing other people's work, but there is also this guy...
I get it, a lot of people don't understand the process that graphic designers have to go through. But it's harder than people think and some of the cost is BUYING LICENSED PICS TO USE IN YOUR COVER.
Unlike AI, graphic designers pay the photographers, etc OR have really expensive equipment to make high res images for book covers themselves. My cheap camera was 600 bucks in 2019. That does not include background, lights, etc. If you're complaining about the cost of custom covers from graphic artists, think about the cost to hire models, costume, and the camera equipment.
But it's more than Oh, snap pretty pictures or pay for it, there are other principles that go into art which include composition (which I covered many times), color and color theory knowledge (which AI can't always do well because there is also psychology per culture that one has to put in.)
There is also typography and knowledge of the market and psychology. You're paying for a lot more than Oh, just slapped pictures together. You're paying for a human who can create something unique that shows off the elements of your book in maybe ways you didn't think about.
Graphic artists are artists because we do things like arrange your websites for you to maximize psychological interaction. Graphic artists are not on the same par as AI.
So, no, this is a horrible take. I use traditional and computer media. But you can't unite if you think, OMG, you drew that in a computer v. you drew that on paper versus and think the first one is invalid. OMG, you wrote that in a computer. You wrote that on paper. The principles the human is applying are pretty similar.
Many graphic artists also draw. Many people use both media.
When Will up there can explain the positives and negatives of what a tangency is and how to color adjust a photo digitally on levels+curves, and how those things can affect the psychology of people interacting with their final product, then he can talk about OMG, how digital art is ruining covers.
Graphic Designers also know how to typeset your covers, who usually do it digitally, so don't eff with them by slamming the people that work with you. Because lemme tell you, the thing that makes your covers and the back of your books look excellent is that tight yet quite difficult art of typography. If that graphic designer really cared, they put that little extra work into eliminating the rivers on the blurb for you to make sure it was that extra bit more readable. They cared about the color of the type and the type face. And those people too are graphic designers. Psychologically, great graphic design is chef's kiss and when typography is done just so, the potential reader *feels* it through the design and the emotion your book is promising to give them.
So don't disparage graphic designers. Even for the fraction who cannot draw, when they are good they HELP with your marketing that much more.
General advice: Don't disparage platforms. Don't disparage your fellow true artists/creatives. Because it's likely you'll have the opportunity to work with them someday, and do you want to cut off the roads to making your book/product the best it can be? Uplift. Graphic designers are not the same as AI. Graphic designers pay other artists for licenses to their work.
Add to that the HWA is holding a vote about AI writing, etc. And yeah, we kinda need to spread this info around.
Dear HWA Members, An open comment period will be coming soon on the drafted Horror Writers Association Al Policy which has been diligently crafted since March. Members, please look for a Special iMailer in your inbox by the end of the month with instructions on where to send your feedback. The feedback period will be open for open for 25 days. The Board of Trustees values art and artists and looks forward to the comments from its membership. Sincerely, Maxwell Gold Executive Director, HWA
