2) Given that this is fantasy, why lean on the same prejudices as in our world? You have invented your setting, it’s entirely in your power to change the social dynamics. If you do choose a world with the same social issues that we dealt with (and still do), to what end are you showing those? So your fantasy society is, say, xenophobic…why? If you’re making a point and challenging that view to some sort of conclusion, that makes sense. If it’s there, but not explored, why have it? This is a story, and the rules are different than life. Themes that carry that much weight can’t just be laid on and left there. The issue doesn’t have to be solved, but it can’t be static.

And. Let. Them. Wear. Gaudy AF. Colours.

Now, it’s true that weaving and sewing and so forth have been entwined with femininity since at least the ancient Greeks.  But if your protagonist is rejecting weaving because she doesn’t want femininity, that’s an important character thing that needs to be examined.  Definitely not something that gets casually attached to the character because rejecting the feminine is how you Do Strength.

And I’d love to see contemporary fiction and other media embrace that idea. If you’re going to call something ‘realistic’ it can’t just be dark, grim, awful, wretched all. the. time. That’s not reality in its honest form. There’s always something that makes it worth getting up in the morning, otherwise most of us would have given up the ship by now (or at least I would have).

Some other things I hadn’t necessarily thought of as ADD-related and I have all day, every day include severe procrastination, executive dysfunction, fearfulness or self-consciousness in social situations, being “smart” in some ways but seemingly “stupid” in other areas, and even hyperfocus on a narrow set of subjects, which of course can all also be symptoms of autism, another thing that may sometimes be misdiagnosed ADD or just kind of the bonus prize you got with it. Some things I DON’T personally suffer from, but maybe you do, and was even more shocked to learn are often ADD symptoms include a disregard for your own safety, harsher standards for yourself than you hold anyone else to, poor impulse control, risk-taking, thrill-seeking, sabotaging yourself and even sabotaging interpersonal relationships or “dropping” them too easily (”that last conversation rubbed me the wrong way…I better just cut ties with them before it gets worse”) All of these things can be either the ADD brain trying to get its next “fix,” bad habits unfortunately instilled in you from how ADD strained everything else in your life, or a mix of both.

this is the source for this text and it haunts me on a regular basis

-Fredrick from Fire Emblem Awakening

this is my addition to this ever growing list of raw quotes originating from unexpected sources

this is a beautiful way to put it and i’m gonna cry abt it

we really need allies right now, and I know seeing this on people’s blogs could be comforting to other Jewish people.

but i guess our lives are worthless to you because we called you a debatable-at-best word we use all the time for non-jews so we don’t have to keep saying “non-jews” all the g-ddamn time

To be called as such makes me feel uncomfortable, as if I was lacking something instead of being different but valid.

Our right as a persecuted people to describe our experiences as such entirely outweigh your discomfort with being called “not Jewish.” Your bio says your French. Mazel tov, you come from a country that has a long and storied history of ant-Semitism, and you have no fucking right to police how we relate to the persecution you inflicted on us. If you hadn’t segregated and oppressed for 2,000 years, maybe we wouldn’t have such a strong sense of otherness now, but you did, so I guess we’ll never know. Grow up and deal with it. 

Oh yeah, and some of the babies might in that case be able to cast friends, minor illusion, ray of frost, or mage hand. Could result in chaos…

me: (internally) oscar wilde was right

in reference to this quote (tho he was also just right in general)

This made me laugh this morning, had to doodle it

When do I know I’m Spider-Man?

Sometimes you just wanna watch a princess of power or a magical alien child do fancy magic stuff in a lower-stakes world where you can be reasonably sure you won’t be subjected to depictions of extreme violence, gore, assault, and sex without warning, ya dig?

being an adult isn’t about giving up
