i really believe that discussing the character with someone who shares ur interpretation is the closest u can get to modern day philosophy. we are like plato and aristotle but talking about a fictional guys trauma

No, US, and I honestly didn't think it was a real thing that happened. Not like, any time during my life. I thought it was a old timey thing exaggerated by movies, since we never dissected anything but an owl pellet or two. Not any proper dead animals. I posted something on Twitter going "lol it's so weird how movies made up that people still dissect frogs in school" and was, uh, surprised when almost everyone I follow went "no this is a thing?"

Anyway turns out I just grew up somewhere that banned it (don't know if it was an official or unofficial ban, but they did not do dissections in that district afaik)

#i voted no as a usamerican because i personally did not dissect the frog#but my class definitely did#was an assignment / activity in junior high science class#i just refused to do it because i didn't like the idea of contributing to the practice of sending a bunch of dead frogs to junior high for#kids to mutilate in class#like i don't think having stuff like that in a learning environment is inherently bad but at least make it an elective class for#students interested in specializing in science or something#your average middle or even high school kid who is checked out of classes is not going to take much from that assignment other than#“ewww dead frog guts”#and that's one more dead frog. idk how they source those but may be sus

Things that take time & many tries to get right:

  • learning to be a good friend/partner
  • healing from depression, failures or heartbreak
  • becoming amazing at an art or skill
  • overcoming anxiety, insecurities and low body image
  • overcoming the need to isolate yourself
  • changing self-hating thoughts to kinder ones
  • making a real connection with someone
  • overcoming self-defeating and self-sabotaging thoughts
  • learning how to study effectively
  • finding a sense of stability and calmness at your core
  • quitting habits or addictions
  • leaving people and behaviours that turn you into the worst version of yourself
  • getting used to healthier coping mechanisms & mindsets that feel fake
  • treating yourself like you truly care about yourself
  • becoming the person you always wanted to be

Publicly here involves anything that anyone in a broader community can see without having to join, say, a discord server. You can be more specific in the tags. If your answer would change based on which fandom or community the fic belongs to, vote for the option that best reflects the community most open to public criticism of an author's work.

#fanfiction is a labor of love that others are privileged to see#yes even the worst fanfiction you can think of#i guess it might be a little different if someone paid for the fanfiction but you're not supposed to do that so I'm not counting it here#how rude to publicly criticize something that someone created only for the artistic enjoyment of it and shared for the benefit of fandom#(even if they're doing it for validation or something -- fandom and its community benefits from new content)#i think the only time it's acceptable to criticize someone's specific fic is when you're chatting in DMs with friends or somethin non-public#everyone has different taste and even if my bestie and i have animated chats about how it's wrong#i will staunchly defend its right to exist without the author being publicly lambasted about it for whatever reason#i think the only way it's appropriate to criticize fic publicly is when you are general or vague about it#i.e. you are discussing trends -- fandom portrays this character this way#and you disagree or have x feelings about it#or some authors don't handle xyz in the correct / most respectful way etc. etc#we can absolutely benefit from commentary like that#preferably if it's done respectfully#but don't name and drag a specific fic or author through the mud in public. that's horrible. way to ruin someone's#desire to express themselves creatively and possibly make them stop ever doing it
