oj the kinda guy to need a mobility aid without realizing
YOU ARE SOOO RIGHT... Some extra support so he doesn't accidentally fall. Or something to hold onto if he spills while he's out without any replacement juice.
Like, it's so interesting to me that he can shatter from stress. He gets sick if he's not full. He shatters easily. I feel like he just tends to ignore these things 💔at least the show does since it's not seen as, as serious as I take it 😭

Writing Advice: Writing Authentic Dialogue
For @radiantmocha TL;DR: advice for writing combat and improving dialogue authenticity?
I'm sorry that this post is going to be so short but it's a really simple topic for me :D
A) Authenticity: Actually Talk To These People Or Read Their Books
When it comes to looking for authentic dialogue, especially in relation to combat, just trying to start up a connection with a professional can be the gateway into actual realism.
If you can, try talking to a veteran or someone actively serving in the military!
If you are interested in a specific time in history that no one is currently alive from, try talking to either a historian or a history buff.
If neither of those options work for you, try reading books and other stories that were written by veterans. My favorite book of this genre is "All Quiet On The Western Front" which is a semi-autobiographical book exploring what life was like for german soldiers in WW1 which was written by Erich Maria Remarque, a German veteran of WW1.
I emplore you to explore stories, even fictional stories, that were written by soldiers!
B) Authenticity: Accounting For The Environment
What's the time period that the story is set?
Where is the story set?
What is the socio-economic status of the protagonist?
What is the personality of the protagonist?
Answer these questions (and more) to understand what a character will and wont say. Characters fighting in WW1 won't reference tanks pre-Battle of Somme.
This advice is true for everything. An innocent, rich kid will certainly speak differently, using different verbage, in comparison to a kid living in the slums. They will also prioritize different things.
What I hate most in stories is when characters, poor for their entire life, poverty-striken, starts wildly proclaiming ideas of justice, fairness, and equality while fighting bullies left and right. Most people in that situation need to keep their head down. They can't afford to go to the police station for "contributing to the a fight" Independent women can't get into the middle of a fight! Do you know how much medical bills cost? If they manage to survive, it's not going to be pretty. No matter how much self-defense classes like to tell women, most women understand that they can't overpower a determined man.
That isn't evil, that's survival, that's practicality! Ideals have always been prioritized by people privileged enough to have the time to think while the poor and always working need to be always working!
Sorry, that was a rant
In Conclusion:
Read stories that real people have written that are either semi-autobiographical or autobiographical! Keep in mind the time and place!
And so sorry for that rant!

My mom: "You're like a mix of a 6 year old girl, and 8 year old boy, and a weird middle-aged woman..."
Me, holding a 60+ year old teddy bear in one arm, A rainbow plague doctor squishable in the other, Wearing a Stolas Goetia from Helluva Boss shirt, Standing in front of my room that's decorated with Spiderman and Xmen posters, A framed portrait of a man in a suit with a moth head, a corner of my room dedicated to witches, herbs, and crystals, A rainbow Unicorn mouse pad, a basket full of LPS, and after just finishing watching Little Women and reading Spider-man comics: "What do you mean?"
#based on a real convo btw like i was doing all of this shit#i wanna draw this lol#my mom calls me her little 8 year old boy bcuz of my love of Spider-man and Xmen 😭#she's being mean to me 😔#talking#rambling#squishables#marvel comics#xmen#x men#xmen 97#x men 97#spiderman#spider man#helluva boss#stolas goetia#stolas#witchblr

popular YouTube channels are great and informative until they make a video about a topic you're informed on and then the house of cards comes crashing down as you realize how utterly wrong they are about most things

mantra when you fuck up is "i'm in my early 20s it's literally not a big deal"
#AND ALSO ''I WILL DO BETTER NEXT TIME'' THAT IS ALSO IMPORTANT. but also it being not a big deal is important too#lest you let yourself get twisted into knots by the fucking up therefore causing you to fuck up more. ETC ETC.#talking#sketch diary

aww thank you I’m doing well, hope you are too! Omg! I can agree with the challenge as Penelope was goddamn amazing with her vocals, I also love the Would you fall in love with me because the visuals and vocals portray the hope and longing Penelope has when Odysseus enters. Knowing the end of the Epic saga has come is both sad but wonderful as we finally get shown the well deserved reward for Odysseus.
heya! How do you feel about the Ithaca saga? :3
also hope you’re doing well and healthy! 🩵🩵🩵
(Also love all your art just recently got back to blog surfing :D)
hi, hope ur doing well :D
ithaca saga was solid cuz, as always, the music, performances and visuals were stellar. the challenge was my favourite song from it cuz i love penelope just, as a character in everything she's in.
but, i've realised that I don't really like epic act ii. or, at least, not as much as act i. (not musically. it's still great there) so, i'm not as hype as other ppl are about it.
but, it was a good ending to what epic is and i'm satisfied with that.
#justbambiithings#kiwee asks#talking#all good I understand fr#aeneid I haven’t heard that name in years 🗿#I should probably read it again#also BIG HUGS! >:)

here's the thing. "ace people can still have sex" and "aro people can still be in relationships" are objectively true statements. this is because people can do whatever the fuck they want forever regardless of their label/orientation. however some of you have GOT to get your shit together and stop using those statements to undermine larger conversations about aspec identity. following up "ace people don't owe you sex in a relationship" with "ace people can still have sex in a relationship though!" is not fucking helpful! yes it's true. yes it's a reality for many people. however if we used our fucking brains for a second and thought about how following up "people don't have to conform to societal expectation" with "but people can still conform!! don't worry they can still conform!!!!" is counterproductive and very frustrating for a lot of people then we could get back to the actual point which is not "aspec people can still have sex/be in relationships" but "aspec people can do whatever they want with their relationships and their bodies". which they can, by the way. they can do whatever they want forever. and you should give them 200 dollars every time you see them for dealing with this shit
