#writers rant

I will go back in time and strangle whoever invented the phrase "show dont tell" I swear it has done nothing but damage on our society

Cause tell me why the hell did I just watch someone complain for 3 minutes that we receive some of the information verbally in TADC??? Holy shit guys characters can talk???? And then... Stuff happens off screen too???? And tell me more Gangle (who clearly has anxiety) sounds like shes exaggerating and being "delusional" about her fears????? Ouuoouughh bad writing bad writing

And when I was 15-16 aka the angriest teen ever I was also nitpicking and making shit up I even wrote a whole master doc on "every single thing wrong with Hazbin Hotel" which was like 30% legit 70% whining. So I know ✨️the feeling✨️ right.

But those are GROWN MF PEOPLE spending their time talking about some "eugh why are we not given this information earlier in the show bleh why did the author not explain how those two became friends grrr why did he just explain that to another character why couldnt the show just show us that instead" GIIIRRLLL GO GET A REAL HOBBY BRUH SIT DOWN TAKE A PEN IN YOUR HAND AND LETS SEE HOW WELL YOU GONNA SHOW THAT 😭😭😭🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦 YAŞ OTUZ BEŞ YOLUN YARISI AND YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT SOME SHOWS WRITING ON GODDAMNN TIKTOK LIKE PICK A STRUGGLE LORRDDDD

Besides. Why are you even making content for something you clearly do not enjoy. Do you think life is all sunshine and rainbows so you wanna spend your free time whining around. What are you doing!!!!!! Pick up whatever you can and create porn of your favorite characters like the ancient texts bequeathed!!!!!!!

And like dont get me wrong im not against criticism & I also have a bunch of stuff to say about the media that I love and I get mad at it sometimes too. But in our age of fascism rising all over the world, counting AI art to that, to go on the Internet and deliberately nitpick an indie project??????? I will never understand this

So I'm just gonna come back refreshed, I have bewitching pretty much done. I just need to edit some stuff,ff and I also need to edit the first five chapters because my grammar was horrible and I thought it was OK, so yeah, this is advice. Please triple-check your editing, even if it was perfect five years ago, you're gonna find out later that it's a little bit cringe.

Anyway, when I come back, I'm gonna be teasing a story which I'm planning to fully upload when we are in the colder months because it has the whole vibe of the winter solstice. I'm so excited to read your point of view and what you think of it.

Tiny Truth in Teacups, it's not going to be done this year. The story, as you know, is the only project I'm actively working on. I rewrite, I write, I erase to rewrite and write, and most of all, I just reflect. I haven't started Chapter 13 for the story, but I do have my outline ready. So it's just me coming back, then sitting down and writing for the next two weeks, this chapter, so that it can be posted by November 3. If it's earlier, then, you're welcome. That means I came back so inspired to the point that I am going to write from dawn till dusk.

I know it's a little bit upsetting to some people that I take a while to write and post the story, but I do wanna say that each chapter is 15,000 words or more, and once I achieve it, I am not cannot go down, so once again, I do wanna thank people for their patience and their support.

I cannot wait to be back and read everybody's work because I am so glad to be surrounded by writers whom I used to admire when I was just a reader and a teenager, but also new writers who are killing it...💕

Honestly, some of them are very quiet, some of them don't even get recognition, but I see you. I support you. You know I'm in your comments all the time, making sure that you know that I appreciate your effort, and lastly, take this as a reminder to decompress every once in a while. I am, and therefore do the same, go outside and touch some grass.

Special shout-out to the Scorpio queen @hinata6uchiha. Who is celebrating her birthday? Thanks for posting. Now my plane ride is going to be way more pleasant with your three stories uploaded. Thank you... Enjoy your trip, can't wait to see your TikToks about it ❣️

@kia8088, as always, thank you so much for being amazing, supporting myself and others with your ray of light. You don't know the full circle moment you have given me by enjoying my stories the same way I enjoy yours when you were back in FF. Also, I want to thank you for uploading Apartment 11 because it's also gonna make my plane ride more exciting.

To the readers, I love you. See you soon,

The reason zombies are so slow is that their pants are full of shit, and that makes them walk slowly because it's hard to run with all the extra weight of the shit.

In a post-apocalyptic scenario with zombies, the main threat wouldn't even be the zombies, but the return of the Plague. 

Thanks to the voices in my head, rats are the second most populated species on the planet. They are found on every continent except Antarctica — that we know of. Then you have the zombies, which are dead, rotting flesh mixed in with all the poo, and zombies aren't just humans, so we have lots of different types of bacteria and dead bugs and incredibly unhealthy ways of existing. Streets full of carrion, sick animals on top of animals without diseases. Rats from one side to the other, spreading everything, everywhere. 

So I'm going to address it all here under the cut because I've gotten a few asks in that are pretty similar and I'm sure I'm going to get more. So I thought instead of answering the same thing over and over, I'd just do a response below. Warning, spoilers for the end of book 1.

*me, thinking I'm making progress in finally finishing a half-decade long series, only to realize I'm barely a quarter way to the end*

And it was basically for a request where an anon wanted me to write a reader/self insert whose beauty exceeded Aprhodite's.

I know that all Diety Worshippers/ people who work with dieties aren't like this and I also don't have much knowledge on this concept. HOWEVER; if you engage in something like this, I'm of the mindset that you're typically doing it for YOURSELF. You're doing it for your own health/mental wellbeing, you work/worship with a certain diety because they resonate with you, your dieties energy and influences impact YOU. Much like how Christians shouldn't enforce their beliefs, you shouldn't go midrant on a RoR x Reader post about how "You can never be as pretty as Aprhodite😡😡😡" even though the reader in this scenario IS LITERALLY A GODDESS AS WELL.

Second of all, Aprhodite isn't THE goddess of beauty and love. She is A goddess of beauty and love. You can't exclude other mythologies and pantheons like Hathor and Oshun and etc.
