bestie boo, let me fill you in on something: if you're going to take any part of 'good grammar' and randomly assign it to She's A Witch! AI, you might as well give up. It's over. You're cooked. Anyone who has spent the last decade or more learning to type properly, anyone who has spent any time writing articles/papers/essays that require you to use 'good grammar' is going to fall into that 'oh no it might be AI' trap.

Also stop pretending that kids are fucking aliens ffs, or that they're babies until they hit the magical age of 18! A 13yo is just as funny, creative, and thoughtful as anyone else, they don't unlock new ways of thinking or feeling, all the software is on board! Teenagers and kids are fully human and I am so sick of people acting as though a kid has nothing to offer in a friendship and that their presence must be a burden to everyone!!!

Youth lib is treating kids as human beings, and by isolating kids and young people from everyone who isn't their own age or an authority, you put them at more risk! Adult friends model appropriate behaviour, allowing the young person (who is at risk of manipulation and abuse due to limited life experience, not because they're a little baby who's brain isn't formed yet) to know when behaviour from adults is inappropriate.

Your characters are allowed to be bad people. Your story is allowed to have no moral lesson.yyour ending is allowed to be sad. The villain can win. The good person can do something unforgivable. The lovers can destroy each other. You are allowed to write the thing that no one asked for and everything that everyone told you doesn’t work and you are allowed to not explain yourself.

Fandom Problem #14,916:

I want all creatives to know that no matter how much you bend to the whim of others, how hard you work to make everyone happy, how careful you are with your words or works - it will never be good enough to those making the demands, to those who make you walk around on eggshells.

There will be those who hate you for your creative works. There will be those who hate you for how you are liked and loved by others. Please remember this.

Work on projects YOU want to do. Stay focused on your own joy in the creative progress. Do not take criticism from those you wouldn't take advice from.

Two people do not decide that they are "courting". One person decides to "court" someone else. It's an action, not a stage in the relationship. A man decides to court a woman because he wants to encourage her to have romantic interest in him. He's trying to win her favor. It's not an exclusive relationship--a woman could be courted by multiple men at once. She'll spend time getting to know the guy who's interested in her, but they won't officially define their relationship as one where they only show romantic interest in each other. If they reach a point where they want it to be exclusive, that's when you propose.

bizarrely, America has in many ways gotten more conservative about dating since World War II.

Chihiro, although there are faults in the English localization that change the perception of the character, still has probably my favorite additional lore, as even after everything is said and done regarding their strength, they still showed immense understanding and care by creating Alter Ego within the confines of the school. Out of seemingly no materials and while considering themself the weakest of all ultimates, they were able to not only work on memory alone, but task Alter Ego with decoding information left on the laptop.

Even though it's later revealed that Junko knew about Alter Ego the entire time it still hits?

Like, having to grapple with the despair/hope/despair/hope cycle of Chihiro Dies, Alter Ego Is Found, Alter Ego Gets Destroyed, Alter Ego Saves Makoto... It was one of my favorite bits of the game and knowing that Chihiro got to be the strong person they'd always imagined themselves to be by simply JUST DOING WHAT CAME NATURALLY instead of Having to lift weights and become superficially strong just makes me a bit emo. I love Chihiro and Alter Ego deeply and I wish more people would draw fan art of the two of them.
