This sentence is a.) just plain hilarious, and b.) a fantastic reminder that yeah, this entire book is being narrated to us by a seventeen-year old teenager.

#something about the run-on sentence of it and the phrasing of ‘yelled at him to shut up forever’ feels incredibly incredibly #‘thing pissed off teenager writes in their journal’ lmao #the scholomance

"You know what's harder than Getting Better? Living Like That" is just the thesis for my whole shit going on right now honestly. You know what's harder than doing my physical therapy? Hurting All The Time. You know what's harder than addressing my gender dysphoria? Hurting All The Time

I'm Doing The Hard Thing and it's *easier* than how I was living before. If you make yourself feel better you will have more energy to spend on Getting Better. Nice inch nails - the upward spiral. Crawl out of your grave Thursday

#need to staple this to my headboard so i remember to do my damn physical therapy

OCism is also killing good writings. Because writers are creating characters first before having themes and goals. That's why your story sucked.

You have a character sheet and all sorts of details but you can't write a plot to save your life. Your pacing is dogshit.

hagiomoto

This is one of the mildest opinions I have about writing. You people are absolutely not ready for my truly scathing takes. Stay strong.

spreadsopotism

I'm gonna be honest, if a Tumblr post mildly shitting on what you perceive as a flaw you have, has the capacity to make you give up on pursuing writing, then you're the type of artist who's going to be unwilling to improve or learn and will forever create bad art, which is still art, but not something I think even the people around you would lament on "missing out". The alternative is also you're the artist who will double down on said flaw just to "spite the critics", which if you also embody the average fandom tumblr-user, will probably result in the most tone deaf racist art imaginable. So also, not a big loss.

#glad to see someone saying this bc i’ve always thought this but no one wants to hear it lmao #obvious disclaimer that if you’re just doing it for fun having characters who exist in a void doesn’t really matter #but yeah the kind of thing where you pull out a worksheet and Create a character has never once turned into a successful story for me lmao

Okay man.

#the scholomance #it’s my first time rereading this book since the golden enclaves and just. okay!!#i know naomi novik’s outline for this series was FLAWLESS

I’m adding Kylo being a perfectly average name to throw out along with Tom and Dick to my (admittedly small) pile of evidence that these books take place somewhere in the 20-40 years in the future range

#the scholomance #the theory here being that due to Those Movies the name kylo had a bit of a popularity surge #my other key piece of evidence is in book 3 when one of the london enclave vagabonds is humming bad romance and el calls it a super old son #or smth. and a couple other details from that book that i’m a little fuzzy on but they made me go ‘hmm’

Reading the last hundred pages like where’s liesel i wish liesel was here. you know what would make this scene better? Liesel.

#shocker she didn’t stick her nose into the business of fixing things but i guess el and co were a little more lowkey here #the scholomance

Here’s the thing: authors know when they get a rec on an older story. There’s a telltale uptick of kudos (with a 10-15% comment rate if you’re lucky) in your digest email.

The thing is, there’s no way to know where these people are coming from. In the before, when fandom was more in the corners we all knew about, you could search LJ or a message board or whatever social bookmarking site we were using. You could join the community and participate.

You could get a little dopamine hit by seeing someone tell their friends why they loved your story.

Anymore, those recs are hidden in discords, or in tiktoks or instagram slideshows that you can’t search for. They’re inaccessible, not discoverable unless you’re already there. You may never know why 27 people left kudos on an old story of yours, what they liked and found in your writing. You just get the thumbs up and a kinda lonely feeling, cause these could be your people. You could like them, maybe. You could be friends.

But you’ll never find out why they stopped by, or what people are saying about you behind your back, and that’s sad.

So thank you to the people who still do public rec lists on this webbed site. You are my sunshine, and I’m appreciative of all of you.

If you are recced a fic and enjoyed it, leave a comment telling the author where you came from! We like to know!

#lol yeah this happens to me on occasion and when it does i just blow a mental kiss to whoever out there in the world shared a link #got a small surge just a few weeks ago which was wild bc that fics like six years old now

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

asneakyfox

btw this is maybe the single most key distinguishing feature of the terfy strains of radical feminism, the seed all the rest of it springs out of: they have absolutely no faith in the ability of feminism to actually destroy patriarchy. they do not think feminism can truly build a better world. they cannot really even imagine that possibility. they think patriarchy is an inevitable natural consequence of unchangeable biological facts, and therefore the goal of feminism can only be to mitigate the worst effects of patriarchy, not to get rid of it.

they can imagine a society where women get some designated safe spaces without men around. they cannot imagine a society where the presence of men is not inherently a danger to women.

hmm... this highly personal vent post seems like the perfect place to lay my roleplay egg...
