Shout-out to all the yuri artists who are having to buckle down and teach themselves how perspective works because of Marcille's ears.

person who has only watched one anime: what i really love about dungeon meshi is how it subverts our expectations of a typical anime by not sexualising women and having a good plot!

#i've seen so many posts like that p much word for word and it drives me nuts ngl

i rlly hope it gets easier soon bc i am fucking losing my mind

For the last goddamn time...

"Kill your darlings" means "if something is holding you back, get rid of it, even if it sounds pretty."

That's it! That's all it means! It means if you're stuck and stalled out on your story and you could fix the whole block by removing something but you're avoiding removing that thing because it's good, you remove that thing. That's the darling.

It does NOT mean

That you have to get rid of your self-indulgent writing

That you should delete something just because you like it (?wtf?)

That you need to kill off characters (??? what)

That you have to pare your story down to the absolute bare bones

That you have to delete anything whatsoever if you don't want to

The POINT is that you STOP FEELING GUILTY for throwing out good writing that isn't SERVING THE STORY.

The POINT is that you don't get so HUNG UP on the details that you lose sight of the BIG PICTURE.

Good grief....

Feel a Venture Bros mood coming on...need to rewatch. It's a ginormous influence on me creatively and for me it's fun to watch and analyze/break down why it's so amazing (I wrote a like 12 page lit theory essay about the Gargantua 2 special juggling a bajillion characters and plotlines). My work always has some Vbros in it but I'm writing an arc about shitty parents that fucked things up in the background so it might be good for a rewatch to analyze Jonas and how they gave info out about him while holding back the big info and— i could go on for a very long time omg

#venture bros #chiral writes #i should write more venture essays

i loveeeeeee nonlinear storytelling. show me where we are. now show me how we got here. the end before the beginning. show me how it was inevitable or how many chances we had to change things(nothing was ever going to change). let's meet in the middle as all the puzzle pieces slide into place hell yeah that's the good shit.

Heyo! A story I wrote for a bundle a while back is now free to read for everyone!

In The Princess and Her Hunter, two girls meet for the first time at a trans support group, and a spark of mutual recognition goes between them.

Check it out! And, if you like it, buy the bundle, there's plenty of good stories besides mine in it 😉
