The unfortunate part of writing a book with all your OCs is that they’re no longer just OCs. They’re characters. And characters can’t survive on vibes or knowledge that only exists to you. Characters need goals and conflicts and a plot to navigate.

I say people can write whatever they feel like, but almost every time people post their WIPs it’s primarily fantasy or sci fi. Meanwhile I’m out here writing about a hell mafia.

If you have a more unique “out-there” story, I’ll gladly hear it.

My radical opinion is that golf as a sport should be entirely regulated to shit like Wii Sports. All that land being used up for no good reason.
George Carlin had the right idea. Use golf courses to build houses for the homeless.

MAGAts absolutely love bringing up Obama’s drone strikes or Clinton’s sex scandals anytime someone criticizes Trump cause they can’t comprehend the idea that most people don’t have slavish, cult-like loyalty to politicians like they do.

AI “artists” are inherently talentless, devoid of discipline and patience. They tout themselves as creators and visionaries but they need AI to do literally anything.

When the bubble bursts, and it WILL burst, and these people get stripped of the AI models they use, they will have nothing.

Finally watched KPop Demon Hunters first the first time.

Most unrealistic part is that their manager treats them with literally any amount of respect or decency.

Movie’s good tho.

So there’s a lot of discourse on Twitter lately, around a specific Tumblr post, converging the use of characters as tools. My thoughts are as follows: (🧵)

TECHNICALLY, this is true. Or at least it can be. But it’s very much a case-by-case basis.

Woke Leland Coyle: “WE GOT FUCKING PRONOUNS AROUND HERE! WE GOT FUCKING PRONOUNS! PRONOUNS!”

Does anyone have any mafia/gangster book recommendations? I really wanna read more on that subject matter.

And I don’t want any dark romance slop.

The Destroyer has a lot of prevalent insect/arthropod motifs, so choosing one specific animal is hars. But I think the closest animal is the Giant Water Bug/Toe Biter. Big, horrifying, and can/will fuck you up royally.

Oh, and it can fly.

I refuse to be told I need to find god from people who haven’t found god themselves.

Well I already have a proper reference for him (artwork by @/darkpi-evan.bsky.social) but yeah. Vinnie has VERY thick hair. He gets it from his dad.

I am a slut for any character with blinding bangs. Top 3 character design trait for me.

BlueSky is like an office building. Clean, orderly, and sanitary. A nice place. But it’s also boring as hell. There’s no pizazz.

Twitter is like the Australian wilderness. Its exciting. There’s tons to see and enjoy. But it’s also borderline inhospitable and full of things that want you kill you.

My creative autism is both my greatest blessing and curse. I’m out here coming up with all sorts of new writing projects but I’m still plugging away at my current one. And I KNOW I can take a break any time I want but I just…don’t.

Working in the EU: “If you stub your toe your boss has to buy you ice cream.”

Working in the U.S. :”If you don’t smile enough they send you to The Pain Hole.”

“Censorship is bad” mfs when the works being censored are queer and POC literature and not dead dove incest fics on AO3

It’s only a matter of time before people start hating on the Spiderverse style for no reason and start calling it “spiderslop”

People on the internet have gotten WAY too comfortable calling people they don’t like pedophiles.

Finally listened to Sleep Token…

We’re out here making a live-action “””””remake””””” to a movie that’s not even ten years old and a sequel that came out LAST YEAR.

Fuck Disney.

No shade to the people who write it but as a primarily mlm guy, I’m getting kind of annoyed that every time I go on the WriterSky tag it’s predominantly sapphic stuff. And it’s almost always fantasy.

Got me feeling like this.

I hate fandom discourse when someone’s pointing out a problem a piece of media and someone brings up a totally different piece of media with the same problem like it’s an actual counterargument.

“I don’t like Dungle and Grunkus cause it makes distasteful jokes.”
“BUT GEEBY WEEBLY DOES THAT TOO!!!!”

Sometimes, you gotta learn to slow down when it comes to writing. Sometimes you gotta take breaks. Put it on hold. If you force yourself to write, especially at a young age, you’re gonna get burnt out. You’ll teach yourself to hate it.

The worst piece of human-made art or media is still leagues better than anything generated by AI. Because each component of a human-made story has thought behind it. It has a taste specific to that person. AI has none of that. No soul. No intent. Nothing that makes it distinct or interesting.
