Excerpt from article:

I’m a victim of domestic violence myself. No, I’m not wealthy. I’m not famous. I’m not a celebrity. If anything, I think it was easier for me to leave — because I’m not in the public eye, my every movement scrutinized, my every social media post taken apart and dissected for clues.

What about those who are in the public eye? It’s actually harder, if you can believe it. It splits the fans, it might set those in the industry against one another — it might lead to lost jobs, lost income, perhaps permanently.

I mean, my goodness, see what happened with Bill Cosby. OJ Simpson. R. Kelly. Drake. Jared Leto. Ezra Miller. Some might be ‘canceled’ for a time, but then they’re back out. Even those who were canceled still had fierce defenders, claims of “Well, they never hurt me.” As though that made everything all right.

Here’s the thing: abusers are very, very careful to cultivate a public image. They do that to make it harder for their victims — whomever they choose — to be able to find help, to get out, to be believed. That when the charges are brought, the abuser’s good deeds, public image, the victim’s claims fall apart.

I was reading an article that had a fantastic introduction that seemed to signal that things were going in one direction. I clapped early, already enjoying their writing style and points. This was a mistake.

Listen to me. If you want your media literacy to improve, you have to consume a variety of media. And I don't just mean a variety of genres or a variety of writers or a variety of target demographics (though absolutely those as well), I mean a variety of mediums. Read books. Watch TV. Watch films. Listen to radio plays. Watch theatre productions. Watch documentaries. Read comics and graphic novels. Goddammit read fanfic and watch youtube videos as well, just for the love of god have variety. Learn to recognise how different mediums convey themes and information in different ways. It's like food groups, you need a little bit of all of them to be healthy.

dsmp is still SO insane to me. still not completely convinced it wasn't a social experiment. it is something that can never be replicated again due to the really specific circumstances that attributed to it's creation and popularity

Back with a new article! Woo! Here is a list of 100 date ideas for writing romance. I often find myself wanting to write a romantic scene and defaulting to dinner--which is a classic but can become repetitive. Here are interesting prompts to inspire a variety of scenes for the sparks to fly.

Check it out and leave some claps on the article too! They help me out.

Sometimes I think about the time I looked up songwriting tips when I was a kid and one of the tips given was that you should only write songs about your own experiences because writing for things you made up makes you a liar and it is by far the worst advice I have ever heard to this day

seriously though i know im mostly a comics blog so complaining is expected and is second nature and there is a LOT to complain on (from disgusting writers to character developments being nuked) thats justified but also i love comics so so much.... i love this medium and how unique it is and the story opportunities it gives. i love seeing so many different art styles and writers and how comics can be dialogue or visual heavy (or a balance of both) and how theyre equally important or emotionally moving. i love how many stories and arcs these characters can have. i love when you can tell something is a passion project and when you can tell someone truly loves these characters. i love how long theyve been around and seeing the development of them and the way they been empowering or something to look forward to and bring hope or laughter or excitement since the 1930s. i love that i can not like something in a specific story but still enjoy the character or medium because theres so many different factors in that one story alone but also because theres so many different writers and stories and spin offs and solos and everything to still read and enjoy if that particular one isn't for me. i love how their timelines can be complete bullshit and how sometimes an event is important and sometimes theres no consequences and the only way to find out is to keep reading. i love the melodramas, i love the cheesiness, i love the camp, i love the passion projects, i love the dark themes, i love the slow and developing timelines and arcs, i love the tragedy and humor and horror and action and how many different genres it can have while still in this one medium and still about this one character. i love how any character, no matter how minor, can have a person that loves them and gets excited to see them. i love the community aspect of them (sometimes) and i love how so many different people can enjoy the same comic for different reasons and have their own community of mutuals that enjoy it the way they do. i just love comics so so much.
