Creating characters is fun until they start making decisions without your permission. You sit down to write a quiet breakfast scene and suddenly they’re confessing childhood trauma, or worse, falling in love with the wrong person. You’re supposed to be the god of this story, but really you’re just the exhausted babysitter of a bunch of fictional anarchists.

im glad chappell roan has told ppl to fuck off lol like im sick of watching this cycle where people commodify artists and deify them and then denounce them and destroy them. can you people not just have a normal fucking relationship with art. artist makes the thing you like, you consume the art. consume it with friends! consume it a thousand times over! memorise every word of it start a blog about it tattoo it on your goddamn body! but you aren't entitled to the artist themselves! they are not your special interest, they are not your political avatar, they are not your best friend, they are just some rando and so are you, and that's fine. empowering even. stop worrying about what taylor swift's favourite breakfast cereal is and think about yours

"Cut everything that doesn't advance the plot" no. I'm gonna write more stuff that doesn't advance the plot

#NO PLOT. ONLY LORE.

Ah, Victor Hugo and J R R Tolkien, how lovely to see you here on tumblr.com.

after a long day of getting told, "we hate you, please die" by conservatives and their policies, i like to go to queer meetups so i can be told, "we hate you, please die" by a whole new group of people for literally the exact same thing about me
