Just Realized I Can Make My Own Posts... I'm Coming Here From Pinterest, And I'm Used To Just Reading

people have already talked about this but there is something so depressing about like....having a female character who's suffered unimaginable trauma and now her only character trait is Strong. she's so Strong and Powerful and that means she has Agency, right? right?

and like, well, no, not in and of itself??? like, you gave her trauma, DO something with it. don't just pay it lip service but then go "and now she's okay because she's so Strong and Can Fight or whatever". what even IS strength. are people who don't survive traumatic situations automatically weak by this logic? what are we doing here

Acknowledging that “critical thinking” means “thinking about things in a thorough way from different perspectives” and not “finding every flaw in a thing and fixating on it until all the joy is gone” is so liberating.

It’s supposed to be about intellectual curiosity, not about finding ways to devalue things that aren’t perfect or that we personally dislike.

The novel I’ve been trying to write for the last couple of weeks weeps, watching me walk past my laptop and sitting at my desk to play video games instead

Every Minecraft world has that one person…

I LOVE MY FRIENDS SO MUCH I'M JUST STUPID AND FORGET THAT FEELINGS NEED TO BE EXPRESSED IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE FELT

I honestly don't understand people who say video games aren't art. Literally what else could they possibly be besides art?

"They're just games! (Derogatory i.e. children's toys ala Monopoly or Mouse Trap, obviously not referring to more complex adult board games like Scythe)"

But. Those. Are art though?

What else could they be besides art?

The suggestion is obviously that video games are "toys for children" or whatever and therefore can't be art because art is for hanging up in the Louvre for pretentious adults to interpret.

Except art for children exists? And video games have been featured in the Louvre??? And I'm a pretentious adult and I interpret video games all the time every day?????

Even if you thought video games were stupid and not worthy of taking seriously, that doesn't make them not art. It would just make them bad art. Which is still art.

The images in a trace and color book aren't suddenly Not Art just because they're for kids to color in. Bad art exists.

The suggestion that something doesn't get to qualify as art because it's primary demographic is children or because it is meant to be interacted with and derive amusement from doesn't make any fucking sense.

Why don't you just be honest and say "I hate video games" like a fucking adult instead of trying to legitimize your stupid prejudice by trying to argue that video games don't meet some arbitrary designation of what does and doesn't qualify as art, even though they obviously do.

Main characters meeting up be like:
