So like I still can’t pay my electric bill but the company just didn’t? Turn off my lights? They said they were gonna so I’m greatful that they haven’t yet. Because they haven’t i deleted my dono post because, even though my situation sucks still, it isn’t desperate like i thought it was. My cats will be fine my father in law will be fine and that’s what matters to me.
Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!
Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It’s me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here’s the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.
Modern writing advice: Yes your protagonist should have flaws but ultimately we should root for them and like them from the beginning :)
Charles Dickens: Here is the worst ugliest rudest meanest nastiest bitch you’ve ever met in your life.
Modern writing advice: Make sure your POV character goes through a significant arc! Make sure they are changed by the narrative! Make sure they learn a lesson!
Narrators of every book of the 19th century: the lesson I learned is these people fucking suck, sayonara you freaks
Modern writing advice: It’s all about the character overcoming obstacles and learning! They learn their lesson so they can fix their mistakes and make good choices in the future! It’s a character arc! It’s called growth! Readers love it!
Everyone from ancient times through the 19th century: would you like to watch a Guy fuck up twenty times in a row
A person i dont know just messaged me a picture of a porcelain baby shoe in a thrift store with my full name and date and time of birth on it
Im going insane
My mom went to go buy back my baby shoe from the thrift store and someone else already bought it?? Even though the lady that messaged me said they set it aside and let them know someone specific would be looking for it
the difference between family guy queer headcanons and south park queer headcanons is that people who are like “peter and lois are a tft bi couple” and post memes of the characters serving cunt are like. AWARE of the comedy of treating family guy characters like their from euphoria where as south park kinnies seem to unironically be convinced that their favorite shitty racist children would use neopronouns and have “proshippers dont interact!!!” in their twitter bios.
this isn’t a dig at neopronouns btw i’m just saying cartman would call you a slur, like that’s just how it is.
