OP turned off reblogs so this is my post now. Behold, the "Objective quality vs. degree of ferality" scale

Here are a few of my own personal datapoints:

feel you. When I edited out characters it was 20 dead, 3 injured

I just killed ten people*

Personally, I write stupid silly scenarios that are useless and unrealistic but they make me giggle

I don’t write from nothing. Every character, every word is the echo of reality. Every feature is plucked from someone I knew, every line from a conversation I had, every heartbreak is my own.

I just try to write better endings.

Writing my OCs and getting attacked by cute aggression I NEED to SQUEEZE them right NOW!

And the other thing I did yesterday.

I finally hit the launch button on GoFundMe for my surgery fund.

Dee's Gender Confirmation Surgery Fund, organized by Dee Arbacauskas

Hi, I'm Dee. I'm an artist, a leatherworker, a writer, a mom, and a few other … Dee Arbacauskas needs your support for Dee's Gender Confirm

I... if you can donate, that's awesome, but really, the operations are in November (yeah, I have GCS and FFS just a week apart from each other and that recovery is going to suck). The biggest thing I'm asking for and need is help sharing right now. I don't do reddit, or twitch, or streams, or twitter anymore, or any of the media where a lot of folks manage to get their funds magically filled by big donors. If you do, mind putting the word out about mine over there? I just want to be able to make sure I can recover in peace without the rest of my family struggling to make up for what I can't do during that time.

That’s so fucking real, literally I’m stuck in the middle RIGHT NOW

I know the beginning of the story, I know the end of it.

BUT THE MIDDLE

OMG WHY DOES THE MIDDLE HAVE TO BE SO SO HARD TO WRITE!?!!??!?!!?!?!?

One of my favorite tropes is „mean/popular girls who turn out to be lesbians“ The drama. The aesthetic.

100 plus points if they are stereotypically (pink) feminine and when they are together they complain about boys until they finally realise they aren’t into boys and that the person that knows and understands them best has been right in front of them the entire fucking time. Please y’all i need MORE of this trope it’s so underrepresented

For my dear writers/artists who have large casts. Or really just anyone. Don’t need to credit me if u wanna use it.

I know that some people are annoyed that authors make their main character have an interest in books but to me it’s such a love confession. I feel like it’s just part of our writing/reading culture to mention in our books that we love the feeling of books, their smell, that this is our world. This is where we go and where some of us are most alive. We write our books and we love it so much that we can‘t help but to mention how it feels to love them, how it feels to love creating and consuming the creations of others. I know it might be perceived as „authors feel obligated to write a main character who likes reading/writing“ but maybe,, maybe sometimes it’s just us being in love with what we do.

Sure, it can get boring when the only hobby possible for a character is reading and we should make sure to include one or two more interests but all in all, i think it’s something beautiful. I write in the library and it feels like I am connecting to my birth place, as a writer. I haven’t been at the library in years, i stepped into the fantasy section yesterday and for a second i was home. I usually feel a lot of anxiety in public but when i was there i barely cared about other people and how they perceive me, i was overwhelmed with joy when i was so suddenly surrounded by books, by the quiet voices of all those authors that came before, all their dreams and inner worlds collected and sorted in this place that was created for just that.

So i get it. I get why they dedicate a few paragraphs to describing the comfort of books. Why they make their characters like reading or writing. I feel like it’s not just a self-insert thing to do,,,,,
