Not to bring up peter jacksons h*bb*t trilogy (yuck) on main, but do you know how horrible of a writing choice was making the elves vegetarians for laughs? Elven history is full of legendary hunters. Hell, the god that first taught them how to road trip (an important part of elven culture) is literally the GOD OF HUNTING. In fact, we have more evidence for elves hunting than farming! Implying otherwise is celegorm erasure and i will NOT stand for it!

You know what I want to see more off?

People enjoying their own stories.

I wanna see authors laughing at their own jokes, I wanna see authors feeling that awkward way we all feel when the characters are doing something we don’t want to them do, I wanna see authors crying and enjoying and loving their works like the reader does. 

I want to see authors treating their works like readers do.

What people think writing is like: careful planning and thought out plotlines

What writing is actually like: being possessed by an idea that you are constantly arguing with
