#male-male

Reblogging because I was wondering why I was pulled to write so many male-male ships, and this just made things so much clearer: I'm pulled to ships with interesting characters. So, if canon only gives me interesting male characters, then I'm likely to use them in the shipping stories, or just in my fanfictions in general.

When females are written in an interesting and fully fleshed out way, then it's easy to write with them as well--and easy to ship with them too!

It just kills me when writers create franchises where like 95% of the speaking roles are male, then get morally offended that all of the popular ships are gay. It’s like, what did they expect?

one time i was in an olive garden bathroom and my packer fell out of my shorts and this ten year old boy just looked at me with absolute terror and without thinking i said "that's what happens when you don't eat your vegetables" later i saw him eating salad at a speed no human should be capable of

Honestly? My main piece of advice for writing well-rounded characters is to make them a little bit lame. No real living person is 100% cool and suave 100% of the time. Everyone's a little awkward sometimes, or gets too excited about something goofy, or has a silly fear, or laughs about stupid things. Being a bit of a loser is an incurable part of the human condition. Utilize that in your writing.
