Writing Characters With Mental Illnesses or Disabilities
Before I link today’s resource posts, I wanted to take a minute to write out my thoughts on a subject that is near and dear to my heart (and my life). I’ve actually been trying to write this post for a while now, but I’ve been struggling to put the way I’ve been…

do you ever get to a point in a fandom where you just… ignore canon?
It’s a shame Marvel Studios was destroyed by a freak comet strike.
too bad all of bioware’s writers were eaten by land sharks immediately after creating all of their characters but before making bad development choices and ever utilizing the phrase“grey morality”
The 60th Eurovision is just over a month away
So its a good time for everyone to educate themselves on the best bits of the contest’s history before it returns
Like the most important winners ever
Don’t forget that Eurovison is the reason ABBA became famous
Then there was the time Ukraine absolutely lost its mind
The time Ireland lost its mind to an even greater extent and entered a puppet turkey
Frankly choose any British entry from the least 15 years and you’ll see the United Kingdom lost its mind long ago

I feel like a lot of margianalized people, especially younger ones, have this idea that there’s a limit to the number of things they can ID with. And I think it comes from those anti-sjw posts mocking things for being “too diverse.” Like, if you’re trans and bisexual and disabled, you can’t be autistic too, you’re already over your quota. Or if you’re brown and asexual and have bpd, you can’t be nonbinary as well because that would be too much.
So this is me telling me that th...

the second i stop worrying about not-writing, i get the freaking urge to write and something just vomits out of my fingertips
I know that advice about how“a writer writes, always” is good for promoting productivity and hard work and that’s important as hell, but sometimes it’s okay to just work on something else and let your writing mind be dormant for a little bit. If you don’t stress it, the desire will come back, I promise.
This is precisely why I always work on two to four sto...

“That’s your otp”?
“They’re just friends”
“That’s your otp”?
“But they hate each other.”
“That’s your otp?”
“But they’re not gay.”
“That’s your otp?”
“But they are like 2 feet apart in height.”
“That’s your otp?”
“But one of them is dead.”
Reblogging again because this got even better!

people talking about“forced diversity” like characters being PoC or LGBT or disabled“for no reason” like
are people in real life PoC or LGBT or disabled for a reason
do these critics run up to people on the street like WHY ARE YOU BLACK
“Well if their race, gender, orientation, etc has no bearing on the plot why bother including it?” If it’s not specified, then clearly it’s not a difficulty to overcome :P
This is just another way for people like that r...

I might be going to the comic book store this afternoon. Hopefully that will wash the bitter taste of last night’s Hank and Jan debacle out of my mouth.
Yes, I’m still upset about that. I really really hope that the upcoming Ant-Man movie doesn’t mean I’ll have to see five million posts about how Hank’s an evil wife-beater and Jan is a sweet innocent flower.
