What if you made up a guy who suffered suffered suffered suffered suffered suffered

ngl the most important thing i was taught growing up was that its not enough to just be anti racist but to also be pro black

hating racists is good ! but if youre only hating the oppressor and not uplifting the oppressed all you are doing is using a performative method to direct your anger at. being angry is good, but its not enough. you have to love too. uplift the ones that should be uplifted. celebrate black art and culture and people. celebrate blackness for the beauty it is

if you do not engage with female characters the same way you do male under the excuse / joke of "women scare me", you are being misogynistic. and quite frankly if you only write about / post / talk about men or male characters, i do not trust you. you are not quirky for having only male ocs. it is not unique. you are the default.

this goes doubly if you are a minority. we are all capable of perpetuating bigotry. just because you are oppressed in one area of your life does not mean that you cannot be bigoted towards another group.

“character who gained weight to show how they are healthy now” trope my beloved

Writing sometimes feels like creating little guys, putting them in a jar, and shaking it violently to see what happens.

“this character did not act in the most objectively logical way possible!” is not ! actually valid literary criticism

Is your joke actually funny or is it just making fun of disabled people

the thing about being "good with kids" is all it takes is literally just not trying to control and mould them with every interaction. it's just being a normal person and engaging with them through normal interactions like having conversations and playing games. it's just being genuine and friendly and not perceiving them as lumps of wet clay you are there to shape. "oh you're so good with kids" thanks it's because I think they are people

feels like some of u aren't properly appreciating the fact that he sleeps in a berry patch. and he rolls over and squishes the berries into his fur. because he's so sleepy and content.

maybe people think he's an ugly dog but just to be clear he is actually a beautiful pig

I dunno, stop apologizing for your art. This includes not posting enough, too much, changing style, inconsistent style, repetition, subject. Its your art its your expression. Have fun.

literally thank god sex isnt real and was just invented by big fiction to emphasize greater social and psychological themes i was getting scared id have to do all that
