#i’m extremely frustrated

[the-way-astray]

i’ve seen a couple of posts rejoicing that the second part of the graphic novel will have a different artist because the first part’s art wasn’t good and i don’t know how to explain to these people that the reason the art was bad had nothing to do with the artist and everything to do with s&s being shitheads that put a tremendous amount of strain on gabriella by rushing the process and forcing her to change her art style to something she wasn’t entirely comfortable with and that they should prepare themselves for disappointment because this new part will likely also be extremely rushed and the new artist will likely also be forced to change her art style because that’s how s&s rolls

i regret to inform everyone that kerdly has strongly grown on me

Rainworld fans when they don’t know how to interact with a female character without calling her a mother or a bitch: “yeah moons too boring :/// I like when she’s a bitch! Let her be mean!”

Moon very rarely displays anything beyond (Understandable) bitterness at her situation and some passive aggression. If you want to make aus or explore an alternate canon where she DOES act more “bitchy” go ahead. I support women’s wrongs. But I find it very disheartening that people see Moon’s sheer willpower, that she chooses to be kind again and again and again, as a weakness. As a “wrong” reaction to the situation she was put in.

I’m not gonna deny that some of her politeness is a hold over from etiquette back in the Ancients’ day. But I simply do not think her peace and kindness is wholly a weakness, or something subconscious she is unaware of. (OR uninteresting. In a world that is DESIGNED to make you feel small, a world designed to be unkind, having a character who chooses to be the opposite is SO interesting imo.) And I do not exactly think reading her angry moments as “bitchy” is a normal thing to do with the only prominent female character in the whole game.

It’s actually so frustrating being super critical of your own writing, especially when you can see improvement but you don’t think the improvement is that good. My brain actually hates me, let me be proud of myself PLEASE, we DON’T need to nitpick everything oh my god

if i have to read one more published fantasy book that uses irl memes and online vernacular in its dialogue i’m taking away the toys until y’all can learn to respect yourselves. Not only does it break immersion in your world and detract from your characters having their own voices, it also makes you, the author, seem like a dim parrot incapable of neither original thought nor basic understanding of the passage of time

1) due to the timeline of publishing, any meme included will automatically be hopelessly dated by the time the story reaches readers and

2) it’s literally the same thing Ready Player One did. Hey look i’m pointing at a thing in pop culture. Did you get my reference? Did you get it? Let me list some more colors and shapes you recognize. Did you get it? And then Gideon Nav hit the dab or whatever. Hashtag Relatable!

It’s so painfully unfunny and uncompelling every time. We can do better. Apply some creativity to your own work

when you’re in a “shipping random white m|m/w|m ships to spite the bwwm ship” and your competition is every fandom ever like you guys fucking suck lmaoooo suddenly it’s no chemistry! heteronormativity! he’s gay and she’s a lesbian! platonic only! poor acting! she is an independent woman! even the elite ships aren’t safe for as soon as the girl looks physically different than their (usually book) canon counterpart, the people are up in arms. like suck my dick

Would-

Would ya’ll not mind seeing severely out of context angst art?

It annoys me how I talked about how nice the fandom was earlier this year, like I went on talking about how nice everyone was and how I loved being a apart of it, now it has left a real sour taste in my mouth seeing how much people hated on everyone and how toxic people can be

[beneathsilverstars]

guys i think my depression meds are working

[t4t4tclethian]

hmm. isn’t it funny how jimmy gets infantilized by the fandom so much. and how many of his traits could very easily be read as autistic. that’s so weird

[muse-write]

Hahahaha that moment you open your story in Scrivener to read what you last wrote two months ago only to realize thousands of words are gone and there’s no sign they ever existed. (And I wrote them. I spent hours one evening working on them. I did.) There’s no version history. There’s no zipped backup files anywhere. Even my external harddrive that I could have sworn I backed it up on only has the older version. It’s as though half the story never existed.

I don’t think I’ve ever been particularly expressive about liking Starkid on here. This is clearly a mistake.

i lost the post but i saw someone talking about how some of y’all act like being weird is a choice and like. YEAHHHHHHH.

that’s fine, it might be for you. but i just live like this and don’t know any other way. like yeah i’ve worked customer service, i can do innocuous small talk, but anything beyond that, i don’t understand what i’m missing. and it’s frustrating to see the tonal disconnect especially from people who are like “uwu embrace weirdness!!” where they’re like. dressing quirky and talking about bugs and listening to obscure music and eschewing small talk to ask Deep Questions on the first date and unlearning their tendency to not infodump. and generally have an idea of what Weirdness is supposed to look like. idk man some of us wake up and get out of bed and can’t figure out why the rest of their coworkers chitchat with each other but when they join the conversation it dies.

weirdness is value neutral. let’s stop trying to turn it into a badge because quite frankly, it’s not a choice for everyone. it’s fucking exhausting to never be on the same wavelength as other people and they’re going to react the way they do and label you the way they will without any conscious actions on your end. it’s difficult to talk about this without feeling like you’ll be dismissed as immature, a teenager whining “no one understands me” but the thing is. sometimes you don’t grow out of feeling alone and different, and there’s no good way to talk about it without feeling like people will think you’re just fishing for pity.
