Dunno why I’m still checking in on Dumbing of Age but I am and I’m scream laughing at the fact that Willis is having one of his bi characters sing the most biphobic song of this decade. Just cause it’s Chapel Roan.
Not to harp again on cosy fantasy, but something that struck me recently is that none of these characters ever have to care about money and resources.
I recently read one where the main character is banished from her village. Great, could be conflict there... except she still goes to the market and pays for things, seemingly without worry. Another one had a penniless MC welcomed with open arms wherever she went. A third had a stowaway character instantly forgiven by a supposed desperate crew, who - again! - seemed to have no problem putting food on the table.
And like, I get it. Not having to think about characters paying rent or worrying about when they can eat next is a relief these days. Everyone likes chosen family. But there is a huge lack of conflict to these stories that also results in a lack of character development. No one faces a hardship that is both the result of the environment around them and their own personal flaws. Bad choices don't have negative consequences characters have to learn from, because there are no consequences at all. Endings just kind of peter out or feel unearned. There is no real stress in the environment that feeds into stakes at all.
Think of the Murderbot Diaries, which I have bafflingly seen people refer to as cosy. Murderbot doesn't have to worry about feeding itself. Murderbot would rather watch its shows, but it repeatedly has to get involved in situations it doesn't want to instead. Murderbot would like to pretend it doesn't have to deal with icky emotions, but the driving core of the books are its attachment to its human friends (and ART). Murderbot makes choices that have positive and negative consequences, and has to learn how to deal with its own emotions and anxiety while also learning to accept that other people like it. While you might not be writing science fiction, it's a great study on how a character tells you one thing about themselves while their actions tell you another.
Another series I liked a lot is Daniel M Ford's Warden books, which take a lot of the dressing you see in cosy fantasies - generic DnD tropes, found family aspects, and romance - and injects it with mystery, plot, and stakes. Aelis de Lenti is rich, powerful, and connected, but she steps on toes, insults other characters on accident, and is locked out of the great path she believes she deserves. Throughout the first book, she learns and grows, and carries that forward into the next books.
Okay, stepping off my ranting box here. If you love cosy fantasy, great. If you love to write cosy fantasy, also great! But I really do think these stories can benefit by turning up the conflict dial a little bit. You don't need your character have to deal with real world hardships to still have stakes. You can have your elf open a coffee shop, have a whirlwind romance, and resolve some internal flaw that's holding them back. You can tackle a tough subject in cosy setting (Kay Synclaire's House of Frank is my favorite "cosy" book!) and still carry through a theme. Saving the world and facing down the grimdark bad can get exhausting, but I think there's a solid middle that will benefit everyone to take more advantage of.
No I’m not attracted to you. Quit your evil putting your finger under my chin to make me look up at you. I know I’m your nemesis and all but we really need to set some boundaries when you’ve got me tied up like this.
No look I get it. You’ve got your evil plan, you’ve gotta get me out of the way but you also want to see me suffer as I watch the world burn, I know. But like, I’m not into this. Sexually or otherwise. Wait, you thought I was doing this because I liked you? I’m trying to stop you from using a death laser. No I don’t think death lasers are sexy what on earth are you talking about
Wait. That’s why you dress like that? I thought that armor was impractical. No I don’t find our relationship to be homoerotic I find it to be tedious. Look, man. We all keep trying to get you into therapy. No I’m not kink shaming you I’m saying you’ve completely misinterpreted this relationship. I actually do think you should answer for your war crimes. Yes, really. No you’re the one not listening to me in this situation. Yes that is the alarm the others will have cut all your wires and called in the fbi by now.
What do you mean you thought we had something special? I have other enemies. You’re not the only one. No I’m not doing kinky things with them either I blow up their nefarious devices. Speaking of which, you might want to move like… ten feet to your right.
No, enemies to enemies. And then still enemies.
Cannot stress enough how lovers will never be part of this equation even a little bit
The henchmen in the tags who have been assuring the villain since the beginning that “of course he likes you back, why else would he keep coming to destroy your death lasers”
The henchmen have been reading too many romance novels.
I don’t owe him anything. I hate him. Also I’m being serious. You guys really want to be at least twenty feet that way at the minimum. Preferably out of the building altogether.
“you made the villain cry!!!1! you monster!1!!”
they said no bro. no amount of tears will change that. we really need to address the way some nemesis candidates have been expecting these dynamics to be vaguely sexual without asking beforehand.
what happened to asking if the hero is ENJOYING what’s going on, huh? I get that villains are villains, but we aren’t monsters. we can be assholes without making people uncomfortable.
#the lack of respect for boundaries and consent among villains these days is sickening tbh#we need to do better guys
My sister was listening to the Mel Robbins podcast on our commute this morning and this should probably be in my diary but am I being dramatic about how irritated I got that the supposed doctor this supposed self help guru interviewed was talking about chromosomes and hormones and critical decades and impact years and all this bullshit from a heavily cisgender-normative and perisex-normative lens? Am I wrong for how they spoke with total authority about shit that will never apply to me? Is this what being denied womanhood and personhood is? Should I just suck it up cause if it’s not about me I shouldn’t care or listen? Like. It was about keeping the body healthy and active during menopause and she did bring up that women do have testosterone so like. Should I really be a bitch when the goal was to make sure cis women take care of themselves and combat osteoporosis and muscle loss?
This fanfic shit easy
