#updated the fucking font

[mitziholder]

reading your blog feels like when you're slouching and someone yells at you to sit upright. i'm not a good writer at all and i unfortunately love romance and tropes (i don't read fanfiction though) but i used to want to write, and you inspired me to at least give it a try, maybe one day i will be able to write something interesting. i hope i remember to check back when the day comes that you publish your comic

I appreciate you taking the time to write in :) I don’t mean to be like a drill sergeant or anything. don’t get it twisted - I am not anti-fun (self-indulgence). in fact, I would be flattered if someone found my characters entertaining enough to fuck around and write about them whenever I do publish. I also don’t think anyone has a responsibility to focus on becoming a better writer...

but I think it is a good idea for reasons I’ve outlined before. it’s the basic essence of communication, of having a deeper understanding of the world that we live in and the people who populate it. in my experience, writing helps me organize and articulate my thoughts/feelings. if I did not do that, I would go insane. and the communication of those thoughts and feelings tends to demand a response... so I’m not just screaming into the void. more than that, I consider critiques/reviews - as a response - a way of helping me sharpen my points and my ability to express them (whether I agree with those critiques or not)

better at writing = better at communicating = better at thinking = win (we are a social species)

I don’t think romance or tropes or what have you are inherently bad; as with any element of writing, it is simply a matter of how you use them. it bothers me when people fully rely on them for every aspect of a story; that sort of “shorthand” can be useful for conveying relatively minor story beats which do not need as much time to be developed, but if your entire story is shorthand - shit that has already been written a million times by a million different people in a million identical ways - then what is the point? it can be fun, and that’s okay, but it’s not really communicating. it doesn’t tell you anything you didn’t already know. like benching the bar unto infinity etc etc

THAT ASIDE

it’s coming along. lettering is driving me nuts. but we are making progress.

yay :)

I wish you the best in your future writing endeavors!

best part about moshing for me is i always leave the show night of like “damn i did not go nearly as hard as i could’ve. that was pretty tame” and then over the span of like 2 or 3 days after i realize the true extent of my injuries and i’m like oh ok wait. i went exactly as hard as i should’ve. ough. i think this is plenty

"You've got 4 or 5 real children, real fucking children, and you're prioritizing... your religion over them? I'm sorry but I think that's absolutely mental.

It's a form of abuse I think. Using religion as an attempt to do that (starvation as punishment, ignoring basic human rights, various kinds of abuse, etc.). Religion can be a great thing. It can be great for people. But this.. is not great for people. This is being used to control people. This is being used to kind of.. make good of the terrible things that she is doing. She's using religion almost as a scapegoat. And it's wrong."
