As the God of Fire, the Supreme God has tasked you to supervise and educate a newly manifested Goddess. You find a sad, terrified, and confused child, fearful of her powers and the destruction it caused the mortal realm. You are to guide a being born from Man's work, The Goddess of Explosions.

Your a healer and was kicked out of the hero’s party because “Healers aren’t needed, just use potions”. You become powerful using your hate and distain for the hero’s party as a driving force. Only to learn, they kicked you out to protect you

writing-prompt-s

You became a “supervillain”, not out of any particular desire to do evil deeds or take over the world or whatever, but just because your friend is a somewhat underpowered superhero, and you wanted to make sure they had a “nemesis” who wouldn’t actually hurt them.

Rights of Humanity Vindicated

For the sake of the reader, and this being Tumblr, I have the cut the original 10 page essay down. You can read the whole thing on my WordPress.

October 28, 2021

“How differently would one deal with youth if one could more clearly see the remote effects of the usual method of treatment, which is employed always, without discrimination, frequently without discretion!” “Tolerance never led to civil war; intolerance has covered the earth with carnage.” Whether Jean-Jacques Rousseau is writing his Confessions or François-Marie Arouet is philosophizing in his Treatise on Tolerance, the messages, when deeply considered, are the same; equality cannot be equal if intolerance is one’s second language. This brings forward the importance of Mary Wollstonecraft. A female writer/philosopher in a ‘man’s world.’ A Vindication of the Rights of Woman should be read; It is not specifically meant to be feminist propaganda, but words of wisdom and a demand for people to be who they can be without regard to their gender.

We are all of sound mind if we are given the freedom to be. Mary Wollstonecraft was a visionary that managed to send a message about the potential of women by first stroking the male ego, then appealing to their logic. She implies that men are the reason women are the way they are- if men were to change the way they think about women as people, they have the power improve the world. Her predecessors Thomas Paine, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Voltaire agree with the idea and have their own thoughts on the functionality of humankind without a proper, or strong, society.

Concerns and Discourses

The most debatable argument Wollstonecraft makes is her opinion on submissive women. She comes off a bit hostile to the idea that there are women okay with taking a more submissive role. The Routledge Guidebook to Wollstonecraft's a Vindication of the Rights of Woman, (and inspiration for this section) tells its readers Mary Wollstonecraft believes most of her contemporary peers are “slaves to their husband, father, or society in general” because they could not choose how to live their lives, whom to live with, or have the capability to leave a terrible relationship (Berges 90). She accuses woman of being enslaved to their own senses.

She describes upper-class women as ‘enervated’ beings who ‘seek for pleasure as the main purpose of their existence.’ This is both because it is judged to be good for them, as women are supposed to be ‘made to feel’ in the same way that men are ‘made to reason’ but also, conveniently, it panders to men’s desires, leaving women with little to do but make themselves attractive to men, as if they were in a harem (Berges 90).

Any modern television show will show us the necessity of the choices of women. We see the career oriented, power-suit wearing, woman that may or may not have children of her own (but is content if she does not) who is best friends with the happy and thriving stay-at-home mom. Then we see the super moms that manage both a career and full-time motherhood. We must also account for Mr. Mom- the men that are both father and mother to their children. What would Mary Wollstonecraft say about them? Would she be disappointed and express her disdain in the same manner she has with Vindication? Or would she depose them, as she has done with the other submissives?

Speaking further on submissive women brings us to her notion that historically women have either been a slave or a despot (Wollstonecraft 85). ‘Slave or despot’ is not the issue here, the issue is her comparison of the severity to a specific civil rights movement. In a way, Wollstonecraft is degrading women below slaves as there are former slaves that became free and self-educated. Is she assuming women will not educate themselves, regardless of the standards of society? She writes that pleasure is the business of a woman’s life… inheriting a lineal descent from the first fair defect in nature. The sovereign beauty and the power they must maintain causes them to resign, or at least rein in, their natural rights. They would rather have a short-lived lavish life than seek out the challenges of equality (Wollstonecraft 86). This too, highlights the distasteful nature of her thought as this implies that women do not care about their rights. The point is made, but it is insensitively made. Although we can assume her point is the offense, the controversy of the situation demands face time.

Her description manages to crack the foundation of her full message to our contemporary society, and though she never flat out wrote it, there is a negative connotation to this thought. All the ego stroking she has done becomes a modicum less. She went from ‘okay men, if you want to change the word, blindly seek out potential’ to ‘well, if I’m honest, you men are stunted and too dumb to realize that if you don’t seek out opinions other than your own, you will grant yourself an early death.’ This is the equivalent to archaic dress code rules that a few schools still follow in this contemporary world. The context of those codes (and Wollstonecraft’s thought) implies little to no faith in the male gender. There is, fortunately, an upside to her contradiction. The creation of the necessity of commentary on the subject, turbulent as it may become, and historical context.

She finalizes that pitch by saying reason is the simple power of improvement and dissertation of truth. The nature of reason works best when it is the same for all. There should be no gender or class recognition. A Discourse on Inequality takes a more compassionate and enthusiastic stance on the same issue:

O man, whatever country you may belong to, whatever your opinions may be, attend to my words; you shall hear your history such as I think I have read it, not in books composed by those like you, for they are liars, but in the book of nature which never lies. All that I shall repeat after her, must be true, without any intermixture of falsehood, but where I may happen, without intending it, to introduce my own conceits…How much you are changed from what you once were!

Jean-Jacques Rousseau ends his Discourse (Upon Origin) chapter with a bit of persuasion akin to Mary Wollstonecraft. ‘A manner of life’ he calls it; from which there are received qualities where education (and one’s personal habits) depraves us of identifying. However, if one cares to look deeply enough, they will discover the hidden pocket where the qualities are hidden. Deprived of affection, but not destroyed. That offers hope for change.

However, as anyone who studies philosophy- and history- knows, forcing a society, or person, breeds discourse. Making everyone the same does not leave room for improvement; it is counterproductive at best, emulsifying at worst. Voltaire takes a more violent stance when discussing discourse within the religious sector. He says anyone who acts out against the church will get snatched up and have no contact with the outside world (and we can assume their family) but promised favors if they succumb, only to be condemned when they do by one of a variety of tortures. This pious idea helps us see the error of expecting every being to have the same mindset.

Philosophy is a fickle thing- it promotes one’s attempt to question everything, while answering just a few of life’s major questions. As we seek answers, we find more questions. Sometimes those questions spark more ideas. There is no wrong or right answer to philosophy, just the absurdity of spending one’s life seeking the truth of humanity. Standing atop Mt. Everest seems like an easier venture. This is also why philosophers are likened to heroes. Not in the ‘pulled one out of a burning building’ sense, but in the sense that they are willing to take on an impossible task to help humanity become the best version of itself.

WWC Ask Rules

Do not ask…

General writing questions.

As in writing q’s that have nothing to do with BIPOC or only deal tangentially with them.

Questions that are very broad or vague.

For example “how do I write a Black character?“ or variations of this question. See the FAQ and our WWC General Topics Compilation

Questions that ask for facts you can easily Google.

Need help using Google? Check out: Writing Research and Google Search Tips

Questions that seek our permission or approval to write about a topic.

We call these rubber stamp questions. Asks designed to solicit simple approval are time consuming and difficult to answer.

Further explanation on rubber stamp asks, what they are, and how to fix them:

No Longer Accepting Rubber Stamp Questions

Questions that ask us for resources.

“Do you have resources for–” STOP! We will not do your research for you.

Please don’t use WWC to point you towards references. We are not here to be your Google. Specific questions that arise within your research is one thing, asking us to spoon-feed you where to do your research is another thing entirely.

- WWC Research Tags: Research | Writer Reference - How to research your racially/ethnically diverse characters - guide - WWC How to Research Compilation - WWC Recommendations and Resources

Questions using “PoC” as a replacement for an applicable race.

Person/Woman/Man of Color is not a fancy way to say Black people; It’s an umbrella term for a coalition including a lot of different races/ethnicities. If your question isn’t specific it’s 1) difficult to answer and 2) generates a general and not as helpful response

Questions that indicate you have not browsed WWC thoroughly if at all.

If you start off by saying “sorry if this has been asked before” or “this may already be answered but-” You’re telling us you haven’t checked. These Q’s are grounds for automatic deletion.

Questions that ignore our ask submission guidelines.

- Use “ask” for questions that are 2 parts. If a question is longer than 2 parts, use submit. - We also request that you don’t send writing questions via fanmail.

Questions that have nothing to do with writing.

We are a writing advice blog. We consider questions seeking our perspective on current events or controversies to be off topic. We will only answer these sort of questions at our own leisure (or if we find them helpful for others to answer).

Banned questions (due to excessive discussion or other reasons, explained within the links)

questions about Muslim characters + magic. Here is why.

questions about the Wendigo. Here is why.

questions that ask for a rubber stamp of approval. Explanation

Additional Guidelines

Submit your question properly

Use “ask” for questions that are 1-2 parts.

If a question is longer than 2 parts, use submit.

No fanmail writing Q’s (Fanmail for general commentary is fine)

Ask questions we haven’t covered at length

We will not answer Q’s that are too similar to ones we’ve already answered (Check the navigation and/or our multiple search functions very thoroughly). We will not often redirect you to the answer. This is not the same as having a follow-up question about an existing guide or discussion. Go ahead and ask. We’d be happy to clarify!

Be clear and concise | No excessively long asks

Questions that are not concise and provide extraneous details will likely be deleted. With the amount of Qs received combined with busy schedules, there’s no time to shift through exceedingly long questions that provide way more details than necessary to answer the question.

Additional issues with long asks: Unrelated details makes a question long and complicated to read and thus answer. It might also mean us misinterpreting your concern and/or answering aspects that you weren’t questioning.

Keep asks focused: Avoid providing a laundry list of multiple characters that you want rubber-stamped for correct characterization. Ask about a specific character. You’ll get a more detailed answer on that specific character that way.

Don’t expect an instant response to your question

Have patience with us!

We receive hundreds of asks. It takes time.

Also, it’s impossible for us to answer every question we get.

We will prioritize questions that are on fresh topics not covered extensively here before.

Please stop asking us to recommend blogs that are…

…like WWC except for disability, lgbtqa+ etc. We have answered this already. Check our recommendations page!

Slur policy

Finally, we urge you not to send in questions with racial slurs that aren’t blocked out or denoted as “n word” “g word” etc. We may choose to delete uncensored slurs (and any other blatantly offensive Q’s) as to avoid triggering ourselves and/or others.

Frequently Asked Questions

“What are ways to describe my character’s skin tone?”

“What about hair?”

“How do I introduce the race of my characters?”

“How do I denote the race of my characters in a fantasy setting?”

“How do I describe my Asian character’s eyes respectfully?”

“I want my real-world Native American character to do/experience X.”
