@Amukarna idk why people are dogging on you because i agree. sparky's va is clearly very great at what she does but she sounds like that breaking bad anime dub edit video
imo It Depends. you can read something and not absorb the prose. prose is literally the most fundamental part of making your writing...good, for lack of a better way to put it. you have to go into the book w/ a different mindset when you read it to improve your own writing
@johnwlwgram seconding this one as someone with aspd, you don't need to be able to understand how someone is feeling to treat them with compassion. you can very well think someone's emotions are stupid and illogical and just not say a word about it and make the more compassionate choice!
I'm really tired of empathy being used as some sort of necessary trait to have to be a good person, especially since lack of empathy is usually a symptom of some sort of condition. You do not need empathy to be a good person. Your actions matter more than your thoughts
i think people need to be more unabashed about their characters, because a lot of them are so afraid of doing anything that may seem mary sue-ish that they make "regular person" ocs they’re lowkey insecure about, and then start harboring resentment towards people who don‘t.

yeonmi park image On Twitter they can't even posit the idea of OCs being bigots or genuinely harmful to others when they say "morally ambiguous"
@yandhiisntreal my lore dump is i used to be friends with fontik (birdie's ex, The Big One) and it just makes all of the drama completely untouchable levels of depressing for me. just a bunch of abused, neglected children lashing out at each other because they have horrible parents. :(
the amt of people replying to this tweet with "you need to consider why a character has the name they do!" or "more gay ocs who are mean!" omg i do not envy twitter oc spaces the fuck

more ocs with interesting occupations. uncommon ones. i have an oc who's a gubernatorial assassin. as in he kills his state's governor. dyk how rare actual assassin ocs r
Random question! What would you like to see more of in the OC community? Are there any topic, tropes, themes, character types, or forms of representation you wish were explored more often?
officially quitting twitter bc why the fuck is chonny jash on my for you page, if this site thinks i'm the kind of neanderthal that listens to chonny jash it's actually over for me
The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty
