Another unsolicited revision thing
Their feelings are stupid. Get rid of them all.
Sakura felt Kakashi's hand on top of hers.
No
Kakashi's hand was on top of Sakura's.
or
Kakashi moved his hand on top of Sakura's.
Sakura suddenly felt very cold.
no
Sakura was suddenly cold.
Fuck your feelings.
That is all.

this is my own fault for being Ambitious ™️ and later once I beat all the kinks out of this

Unicorns and Thinky-Thoughts
There’s seven chapters of Chained Knight left to revise; I made marvellous progress on Saturday and thus had to restrain myself all Sunday from going back to it. It’s been a long, long while since I’ve actively wanted to do revisions on the one day per week I reserve for house chores and maybe stealing a few hours on the couch with a book. The Muse, baffled and angry at my intransigence, decided…

I suddenly realized right this instant that I've gotten used to writing furiously, so now that I'm revising, I can feel the itch to write clawing at me. I'm literally restless because I'm not writing paragraphs and chapters, instead I'm tiredly searching through my draft for more places to cut and feeling like there's nothing, but SOMETHING MUST GO, HOW ELSE AM I GOING TO TURN 102K INTO 100K I JUST NEED 2 THOUSAND LESS WORDS AHHHHHHHH I'VE ALREADY CHOPPED OFF FIVE THOUSAND WHERE WILL I FIND TWO THOUSAND MORE

this is somewhat of a vent post & something i said i would not do again but has been plaguing me enough that i think getting it out might feel better. so. has anydoggy else been. Baffled and upset by nora sakavic’s refusal to speak on how terribly aftg has treated its characters of color? with the author of the series coming back with a new book and starting up on her online activity again, and questions of what she’d change about aftg bubbling up, it’s particularly glaring to me that we are all playing this very long game of pretend where we ignore how badly the non-white cast has been treated & her lack of thoughts on it
and i understand not wanting to bring up nicky and thea because people pick on her for it. i’m not trying to discredit nora sakavic’s terrible history of getting harrassed online by aftg fans. but i think it is very cynical, and it is very juvenile, and most of all very cruel, that she gets to ignore the very real ways the books have set up these characters to be hated. i think it’s obvious why the characters who get the most hate are the only canonical characters of color, and i think we do not get to treat this like a deliberate decision on the fandom’s part when the books have put these same characters in degrading and embarrassing and terrible positions in the first place. aftg is not a story about nice characters with clean pasts, but there is a very specific nastiness to the only characters of color being a brown man who sexually harasses and later assaults the main character, a black woman whose only scene is her lashing out at her love interest after being ignored for the first two books, and the japanese villain who gets maybe two lines of complexity before he goes back to being a terrible person. the white cast, in comparison, while not at all free from flaws, are never shown to commit mindless evil; all of their actions are ultimately justified. the book goes out of its way to give them concession after concession. we know exactly who to side with, because aftg tells us who these people are. does nicky’s assault ever get addressed in the books? does riko’s reasoning to be the way that he is ever gets more than briefly aluded to? is thea reserved even a shred of humanity or grace in her one scene?
anyway. it’s been years of talking about this and the fandom has been constantly hostile to criticism in this regard, and more recently any criticism at all, and it’s Grating to be on the other side of this discussion. it’s exhausting to know that in ten years we do not get even an acknowledgment besides the author saying she will not answer questions about nicky and thea anymore. it’s upsetting and it’s ugly and i wish no one had to talk about this again, but we do because what i thought was common sense has been washed away by a sudden influx of no-nuance adoration for the trilogy. basically i hope we all explode

I am definitely more of a writer than a comic artists because enviably I’ll reach a point in my comics where something doesn’t feel right. And what doesn’t feel right usually isn’t the direction but the execution. The juggle between the vision and my skill level and trying to find an executable solution between the two is hard. I rly need to figure out how to plan out my comics better so I can avoid running in to this kind of roadblock.
All that is to say that I’m going to TRY to get the rest of this posted by the end of the day. Because it’s almost there. I just hated how I ended it and I’m in the process of fixing it.

Books, Pixie-Led
Read an article on Oppenheimer and the Bhagavad Gita yesterday, which led to me roaming the house trying to find my copy of the Upanishads. The database said it was in the Poetry section, but I knew that wasn’t right since it belongs in Reference. My cataloguing is just as idiosyncratic as my shelving, apparently.
After wandering about a bit and even checking downstairs (though I knew it…
