I don't think you guys know what "be critical of your interests" means. it doesn't mean "know when the bad guy is doing something bad" it means "know when your favorite media is being fucking racist"

ATTENTION

If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head :)

write weird shit. Write indulgent au fanfiction and self insert fics. Write creepy horror scenes and random character crossover dialogue. Write in a different genre. Write that sex scene that you know won’t make the cut. Write about sentient furniture turning into werewolves that try to date your MC. Write whump or hero/villain fic. Write your kink. Write your worst nightmare. Write your delusions of power and fantasies of control. Write whatever the fuck you feel like. Write whatever comes to mind. You don’t have to share it with anyone (but you can). Your writing impulses don’t define your morality anymore than your reading preferences, and actually going outside your comfort zone will improve your writing skills (making a horrifying villain sympathetic requires good characterization). Even if it doesn’t improve your skills, that’s still something you created out of nothing. It’s still valuable. Don’t let purity culture kill your creativity. That’s how culture stagnates. That’s how writing stops being fun.

Tell the universe your truth.

...That's it. Just do that. That's the thing it wants most to hear from you.

I'm not going to pretend that everything will get better for you when you do that. There are no guarantees. But you will have done an important thing: maybe the most important thing.

And you'll also have done what gods do: you'll have made something out of nothing. ...Which is fun. :)

"AO3 doesn't need a "dislike" button"

Um, actually, it already has one. Depending on your specs, it might look a little different but over all it looks kinda like this:

You can find it at the corner of your screen, which corner is dependent on your layout.

Anyway, if you dislike a fic, you can hit this Dislike Button until the fic goes away. It really is pretty amazing actually.

adhd symptoms are always just mild enough to seem fake but just severe enough to make everyone on planet earth think you’re an asshole for having them. not a big fan of this paradox tbh
