THE OLD GUARD 2 (2025) | "This was her plan all along. Discord wants to separate us."

[writer-in-theory]

Learning to delete/mute/block before a negative comment takes root in your mind is a modern survival skill. If you're going to wander the overgrown countryside of the internet, you need to develop a quick eye for ticks.

It's deeply tempting to respond to the "well, actually," to the cruel assumption, to the unjust accusation, to the odious viewpoint. It's tempting because you're defaulting to the etiquette of dinner conversation. This isn't a dinner conversation. Someone is shouting at you from a moving car. Turn away.

"Are you pretty?"

"I'm a boy," 7-year-old Steve wrote out, chewing on the pen tip as he waited for an answer.

It was much quicker this time, coming in neat scrawl, "I bet you're a pretty boy then."

The response flooded Steve’s chest with a brilliant warmth, the kind that came from drinking hot cocoa after playing outside in the snow. So boys could be pretty, and his soulmate thought that he was as such. It seemed almost like a miracle, something he’d have to tell his mom about when they were done talking. "You've never seen me, how do you know?"

Or, every mark on your skin also appears on your soulmate.

Me trying to fit in a random scene I wrote and want in my story:

[writer-in-theory]

landscape with fruit rot and millipede by richard siken/ the flash 03x22 infantino street (x)

[writer-in-theory]

in fanfiction we must sometimes ask ourselves not if he would do that but under what conditions would he would do that

[writer-in-theory]

Fanfiction writers be like:

"here's the immensely time consuming 100K word novel-length passion project I'm working on between my real life job and family! It eats up hundreds of hours of my one and only life, causes me emotional harm, and I gain basically nothing from it! Also I put it on the internet for free so anyone can read if they want. Hope you love it!" :)
