Charles, I'm in love with you. You don't have to feel the same way. I just need you to know.

Are you interested in ghosts, witches, psychics, lesbian butchers or catboys?

How about repressed Edwardian twinks, 80s punks with daddy issues, crow twinks or autistic yaoi enjoyers?

Maybe you’re interested in magic shop owners who are actually sea mammals? If any of these interests you, may I suggest Dead Boy Detectives.

In writing, epithets ("the taller man"/"the blonde"/etc) are inherently dehumanizing, in that they remove a character's name and identity, and instead focus on this other quality.

Which can be an extremely effective device within narration!

They can work very well for characters whose names the narrator doesn't know yet (especially to differentiate between two or more). How specific the epithet is can signal to the reader how important the character is going to be later on, and whether they should dedicate bandwidth to remembering them for later ("the bearded man" is much less likely to show up again than "the man with the angel tattoo")

They can indicate when characters stop being as an individual and instead embody their Role, like a detective choosing to think of their lover simply as The Thief when arresting them, or a royal character being referred to as The Queen when she's acting on behalf of the state

They can reveal the narrator's biases by repeatedly drawing attention to a particular quality that singles them out in the narrator's mind

But these only work if the epithet used is how the narrator primarily identifies that character. Which is why it's so jarring to see a lot of common epithets in intimate moments-- because it conveys that the main character is primarily thinking of their lover/best friend/etc in terms of their height or age or hair color.

#yes!!! #very well said! #writing

Thanks for the question, Anon! I had to combine the “10” with the “more than 10” because I ran out of space! Hope it works.

For me I have a lot of health issues and can’t work because of it, and family issues as well, but if it was a perfect world, I would choose two kids. That way they have each other.

#2 for sure. #then I would see how that goes (in particular how much individual attention I'm able to give them since the ''perfect world'' solves #basically all other problems) #if I saw that I could give enough attention to a third without the other two feeling neglected then I'd have a third #if the first two were over 3yo I'd ask them if they'd be okay with another sibling also #I love kids #poll

Y'know that quote about "if you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room"

Also applies to queerness and neurodivergency

Is it really a grave when no body was found? Roy resents it, the whole hem and haw of a funeral that's missing the main attraction. It's a performance for fools, weeping over an empty casket.

And Roy's the most notable fool of all.
