one soul, not two

I actually think that is an extremely common murder mystery L to not explore the psychological impact of killing a person. I understand the resistance to discussing how traumatic performing violent acts can be to the perpetrators, especially when that lens gets applied to huge systemic mass violence like wars. but I think it's important to acknowledge if you're exploring death and violence caused by other people... a murder story should understand that causing a death is also a fist through a pane of glass. even if it was on purpose! even if the person is horrible and dehumanizing their victim and stuff! <- dehumanization itself is an attempt to avoid the trauma of killing or hurting a person by rules lawyering who counts as a person. this is important to understand.

i think people are starting to confuse class analysis with bioessentialism. like... no not all men do this, but Men as a constructed social class do do this. that's still okay to say. that is regular material analysis of the world around us.

my problem is if i enjoy something enough i will be nitpicking. i Will have things to say about where and how it failed. out of nothing but love straight from my heart. unfortunately this often makes me indistinguishable from a hater who has never experienced joy or kindness. such is the amateur critic's burden.

all of my favourite things are like beautiful racehorses that trip over their own feet a hundred times. but they get back up again. and goddamn, you should see them run.

liking a ship but disliking the distinct set of stock fanon that they have been assigned is like one of those punishments dante came up with when he wrote the worldbuilding for hell in inferno

Well maybe you're having an "epidemic of mental illness" because your society sucks and systematically breaks people did you ever think about that

they should make it illegal to end your story with an epilogue where your main female character is suddenly randomly married and has children when she's never once expressed a desire for this previously

people in the notes of this post being like "oh well it makes sense in canon why she would change her mind about wanting to start a family after the events of the conflict are over, there's a reason for it, let her have her happy ending." okay but fictional characters are not real people, they do not make these choices, their writers do. and those choices are not ideologically neutral, they stem from somewhere. and that place is misogyny in the cases where an author decides that becoming a wife and mother is The ideal happy ending for a woman. that's what the post is about, not a complaint that it's ooc or whatever (though it is often that too)

It’s kind of crazy when you get likes on your fics every day and start to realise that at least one person around the world is reading your fanfics every day. It’s kind of a surreal feeling… No?

sometimes being a fan of something means not wanting them to make any more of it

am i allowed to say kill all trillionaires or is that too specific of a threat
