The replies and quotes on these are super normal and don’t at all prove that Paste Mag made the right choice btw 👍

That post that's like "stop writing characters who talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy" really blew the door wide open for me about how common it's become for a character's emotional intelligence to not be taken into consideration when writing conflict. I remember the first time I went to therapy I had such a hard time even identifying what I was feeling, let alone had the language to explain it to someone else. Of course there are plenty of people who've never been to therapy a day in their life who are in tune to their emotions. But even they would have some trouble expressing themselves sometimes. You have to take into account there are plenty of people who are uncomfortable expressing themselves and people who think they're not allowed to feel certain ways. It also makes for more interesting conflict to have characters with different levels of understanding.

i think people have gotten out of the habit of writing characters being untruthful unless they're evil. sometimes people just lie, or they believe and repeat things that aren't true. people just do not and often Can not tell the absolute truth about themselves all the time even during heated and climactic moments. why are you writing everyone being absolutely honest about their feelings!!

Temporarily pausing the breakdown because of how garbage this paragraph is

No one is ever going to be Will Graham level of down bad cause why did he start eating human meat and giggling at cannibalism jokes just to try to get with a man that already wanted him so bad he willingly turned himself into the police to prove his love for him? Idiots.

This is all I could think of

Rip Dean Winchester, you would have had an existential crisis watching Buck kiss a man in the 4th episode of the 7th season of 911 on abc

Wait, a character can become canonically queers and not immediately be sent to super mega turbo hell by the writers???

White Day. Today the Japanese observe this day to reciprocate the gifts they receive on Valentine’s.

you never know what someone is going through. for instance i didnt know i was going through anything until about 2 years later. i thought i was just chilling

Writers suffer from tinker bell brain they need constant applause or they start believing everything they’ve written is horseshit

There are a lot of really good pages in dungeon meshi but these ones are so dear to me. I love his stupid ass so much

guy who is definitely not about to fall into a surprise midday nap with an aftermath worse than a hangover: it seems like a really good idea to lay in bed and get cozy under the blanket as part of my plan not to fall asleep. I do not know why.
