I think you gotta make Dess Holiday a little uncool. She can't be too awesome I think she needs to be a little cringe. Just to remind yourself she's a teenage girl who did stupid shit y'know?

I like to depict her as cool as fuck when viewed from Kris or Noelle's perspective as children, but more nuanced and a bit cringe/troubled from objective viewpoint/ them looking back on events as teens themselves. Rose tinted glasses, projecting onto thier cooler big sister ect. Get some unreliable narrator in there, yanno?

fun fact about me: When I was 6 years old I sent so much hate mail to the president (the second Bush) that the mail carrier had to tell my mom I needed to stop before we got FBI’d

I was COMPLETELY unaware of the US political scene or why the adults in my life hated Bush, but I knew I hated him because he let people shoot wolves from helicopters and that’s mean and shitty

I also had a poor grasp on how stamps worked, so given that I wasn’t allowed to continually throw money away by putting stamps on my presidential hate mail, a lot of the times I just drew squares with little pictures inside on the corner.

this dogshit website is nothing without trans women

gender of the day: apathy

Something I had to unlearn: giving your character a tragic backstory is not the same as giving them a wound. A backstory is just information. A wound is the thing that makes them flinch at something totally unrelated fifteen chapters later and the reader goes "oh." If the backstory doesn't leave a nerve ending somewhere in the present-day plot, cut it. Nobody needs the trauma. They need the flinch.

good fucking lord we need to demystify minerals. crystals do not have healing or magical powers you guys are just getting scammed

you are getting scammed

I own a rock shop. A lady came in about three years ago and asked me which crystals are best for healing, I gently explained that they didn't have powers or healing properties. She started crying. She had late-stage cancer and no medical treatments were working. A crystal-healer had told her the only thing that would save her were crystals, then proceeded to convince her to spend $2000 on what realistically was only maybe $50 worth of Arkansas Quartz. She had two months to live, and was being strung along by scammers who gave her false hope in exchange for her life savings. I had indirectly just told this woman she was going to die, and it was hitting her all at once. Unfortunately, stuff like this is a regular occurrence. Maybe that’s my worst story, but it’s something I encounter on a weekly basis at least. Rocks, Minerals, and crystals are cool as hell but they don’t have powers. They aren’t mystical or special. I’m sorry for going off on a rant about this but it’s frustrating and it can ruin people’s lives.

To be fair, there are some minerals that have powers, but those minerals are Uranium and Plutonium and the powers are Radiation Damage
