as someone who has their own wizard picture collection. Would you like to share with the class

So just a few treasures include

And my personal favorite is of course:

Which I never risk being without so I do keep laminated copies in my (kinda nasty) phone case

And behind my license in my wallet, in case I ever need to smooth talk a cop out of a ticket

Like this post if you happen to live in the Raleigh-Durham area so I know if it’s worth promoting my shows here because I NEED to get butts in seats

Oo, what kinda shows you do?

I do improv! Specifically I’m hosting a show that’s DEFINITELY NOT ripping off Make Some Noise next week and the more butts in seats I get the more realistic doing more like it becomes so I’m trying to get as many people there as I can and I am not above promoting on tumblr

A lot of fiction these days reads as if—as I saw Peter Raleigh put it the other day, and as I’ve discussed it before—the author is trying to describe a video playing in their mind. Often there is little or no interiority. Scenes play out in “real time” without summary. First-person POV stories describe things the character can’t see, but a distant camera could. There’s an overemphasis on characters’ outfits and facial expressions, including my personal pet peeve: the “reaction shot round-up” in which we get a description of every character’s reaction to something as if a camera was cutting between sitcom actors.
When I talk with other creative writing professors, we all seem to agree that interiority is disappearing. Even in first-person POV stories, younger writers often skip describing their character’s hopes, dreams, fears, thoughts, memories, or reactions. This trend is hardly limited to young writers though. I was speaking to an editor yesterday who agreed interiority has largely vanished from commercial fiction, and I think you increasingly notice its absence even in works shelved as “literary fiction.” When interiority does appear on the page, it is often brief and redundant with the dialogue and action. All of this is a great shame. Interiority is perhaps the prime example of an advantage prose as a medium holds over other artforms.

fascinated by this article, "Turning Off the TV in Your Mind," about the influences of visual narratives on writing prose narratives. i def notice the two things i excerpted above in fanfic, which i guess makes even more sense as most of the fic i read is for tv and film. i will also be thinking about its discussion of time in prose - i think that's something i often struggle with and i will try to be more conscious of the differences between screen and page next time i'm writing.

i see "men bad" jokes as very similar to suicide jokes. like making them every once in a while isn't the worst thing, but if you Keep making them constantly. it DOES shape how you start thinking and you WILL become a more unpleasant and bitter person and also make people around you uncomfortable. and sometimes you just gotta choose to not make or engage with certain jokes, even if they are amusing to you, because its just not who you wanna be

if you wanna come on this post & be like well i AM BITTER and I LOVE HATING MEN!!!! that's like. okay. I am talking to people who care about trans men & realize how much this attitude creates an atmosphere of hostility towards transmasculinity. I am talking to people who actually want men & women to become equal partners in society. I am talking to people who are capable of recognizing that their anger and pain are valid while also deciding that they do not want to be the kind of person who just does whatever feels the most cathartic.

I am a person affected by misogyny & I pinky promise you that it is, in fact, possible to have justified anger towards cis men AND not make all my political and philosophical views based around my gut emotional responses. I care about consistently applying values such as "it is wrong to assign moral or social value to someone's gender" and I realize that making certain jokes goes against that value and so I don't engage with that humor. It's really that simple.
