[ID: a drawing of anthy and utena from revolutionary girl utena. utena is shown in her dueling outfit and anthy is shown in her rose bride dress. anthy’s dress appears purple. anthy is leaning forward with her chest out, head facing upwards. she is looking forward with a dull expression. she is holding up her hands at her side. utena is lying against anthy’s waist, putting her head between anthy’s arms. she is looking forward at the viewer fiercely. the background is a mix of different shades of purple. End ID.]

Btw the reason we all disbelieve blockberry's accusations against chuu is not just bc she is pretty and acts kind in front of cameras. Its because 1) this all very much reads as revenge bc she demanded to be fuckin Paid for her work & won a lawsuit against the company, 2) there is a lot of evidence of the group being mistreated and her trying to defend them and herself, and 3) so many ppl who worked with her are already speaking up about how the accusations are absurd.

i don’t believe in premature ejaculaton. you cum when you cum

That post that's like "stop writing characters who talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy" really blew the door wide open for me about how common it's become for a character's emotional intelligence to not be taken into consideration when writing conflict. I remember the first time I went to therapy I had such a hard time even identifying what I was feeling, let alone had the language to explain it to someone else. Of course there are plenty of people who've never been to therapy a day in their life who are in tune to their emotions. But even they would have some trouble expressing themselves sometimes. You have to take into account there are plenty of people who are uncomfortable expressing themselves and people who think they're not allowed to feel certain ways. It also makes for more interesting conflict to have characters with different levels of understanding.

i think people have gotten out of the habit of writing characters being untruthful unless they're evil. sometimes people just lie, or they believe and repeat things that aren't true. people just do not and often Can not tell the absolute truth about themselves all the time even during heated and climactic moments. why are you writing everyone being absolutely honest about their feelings!!
