SEEE!

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG. THAT MAN IS A SIMP YOUR HONOR AND WE ALL NEED TO ACCEPT THAT.

This passage from the Heartslabyul novelization has me in a chokehold 😭

ANYWAYS STRIKING IS A GOOD AND MORAL THING TO DO WHEN YOUR EMPLOYERS WON'T PAY YOU FAIRLY OR PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS.

UNIONIZE.

"Im here I'm here" Chan shouted as he hurried inside, panting heavily before collapsing to his knees out of breath. "What happened?"

"KARINE IS IN LABOR??" woo is panicked and did the only thing he knew to do: call Chan while he waited in the lobby while Karine was being checked out.

"Sorry Im just so worried. This isnt the first time we had a scare byt she was really hurting and i need you to be herr because Im so worried and I cant control my emotions, Chris."

And he really did try, but he was hovering a few cm off the ground.

Following the author of The Last Unicorn on Facebook is the only thing that makes being on that site worthwhile.

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.

Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.

Not my boss in a staff meeting giving a run down of optional ‘how to have civil discussions’ courses and saying, “There’s a How to Negotiate Salary course. Ace (me), you shouldn’t take it.” /joking, but was she really!?!?!?

I’ve never once had a discussion at negotiating my salary with anyone and am usually reminded that I’m the lowest paid person in my small office because I’m the only young person. Sometimes the “jokes” aren’t joking. Ppl call my generation snowflakes but this is fucked. I’m applying to jobs with higher salary within my skillset bc letssssss fucking goooooo!

Lae'zel's character and her entire situation at the beginning of the game becomes so much more funny when you find out she's 22. It makes so much sense. Imagine you're 22 and you're exposed to this dangerous toxin or chemical or something - but not to worry, you learnt that this can be easily fixed, you just need to dial 911 real quick. Common knowledge. Everyone knows that. You learnt that in kindergarten, it's up there with fire alarm drills.

But the people you're stuck with have no concept of modern medicine and when you say "let's go to the hospital" they will say shit like "i think they kill people at the hospital" and "we should ask this swamp lady" or "this guy over there told me about this homoeopathic healer kind of guy but he got abducted" or "this random bard wants to help" and "I'm not going to dial 911 because I don't want the government to know my home address" or "maybe we should consider a deal with Satan". And then a bunch of them KEEP consuming the chemical because it makes them "stronger". One guy might explode for unrelated reasons. You have a few days before this situation is getting critical and suddenly they're solving crime and doing general charity for the community.

And FOR SOME REASON you still try to help these idiots and you STILL want to help them get the cure even though they all keep insisting the "doctors" at the "hospital" might try to "kill them" and they don't have insurance. And you keep telling them to just. go. to. the. hospital. before the time runs out and you all die very horribly of a very treatable condition.

And also you're 22 in a foreign country and you're responsible for shepherding this gaggle of idiots who are all ranging anywhere from 24 to 240 years old.

Expanding a thought from a conversation this morning:

In general, I think "Is X out-of-character?" is not a terribly useful question for a writer. It shuts down possibility, and interesting directions you could take a character.

A better question, I believe, is "What would it take for Character to do X?" What extremity would she find herself in, where X starts to look like a good idea? What loyalties or fears leave him with X as his only option? THAT'S where a potentially interesting story lies.

In practice, I find that you can often justify much more from a character than you initially dreamed you could: some of my best stories come from "What might drive Character to do [thing he would never do]?" As long as you make it clear to the reader what the hell pushed your character to this point, you've got the seed of a compelling story on your hands.
