Date idea: okay so you come over and we play the heated rivalry monopoly board game and things get really intense, there are houses and hotels everywhere, and in the end it’s all too much and I swipe all the pieces off the board and **** *** **** ** and *** *** *** ***** *** ****
And just remember, if you become intangibly consumed by something, if you feel nothing but rage and hatred when engaging in fan spaces, if it no longer brings you love or joy, it’s fine to take a step back. There is more to life. There is no reason to be so consumed by hate.
Reminder literature is subjective and nuanced and it’s actually pretty beautiful for people to interpret things differently and have opinions <3 there’s no right or wrong and consuming books is a subjective experience and is supposed to differ from person to person 🫶🏻
Stories are about growth and movement. The beauty of characters are their imperfections. Being able to analyse these allows us to understand them and relate to them.
Why would anyone want a story based on perfect, squeaky-clean characters? It means the story has nowhere to go?
If you expect the characters in the books/movies/shows you consume to be morally perfect, and completely without flaws and nuance, then you can’t expect to consume a story with any depth or humanity. Humans are inherently flawed and ever-changing.
The life of a smau writer (it was like this before I joined hrtwt I’m just too overwhelmed by the size of the task to sort it so it just grows and grows and I never have any storage on my phone)
