« there was something about being up in Skyloft that made him feel completely at peace. Was it the lack of monsters? He couldn’t be sure. »
that bit in chihayafuru where oe is like “when i was younger i used to take offence at the idea of writing love poems in a competition. i was so immature. those poets were competing to see who could best move their audience with their words”
i suppose writing is especially hard when the thing you are writing is very unlike almost everything you have read
writing is hard
hmm that post has the order of history
backwards
why would you rubber duck ephemerally when you could rubber duck somewhere lasting and create documentation

there are so many writers out there who are good and clever but privileged enough that they never had to face consequences for their writing when they were younger, who are now popular enough with a big enough audience that no matter what they do they will be surrounded by fans
and it’s just sad to see talent get wasted like that
i don’t think you really understand how, as a writer, you have the capacity to hurt people until you do
so please don’t write for a large audience if you don’t have any experience fucking things up for a small one
critical of some aspects of steven universe storytelling
@noelle i write this having mostly watched and enjoyed steven universe and i don't think it is a terrible show and in the episodes where it is really in its element i think it is probably a pretty good show actually
and i don't, in theory, have a problem with the diamonds having a redemption arc either
however
i did take issue with the broader messaging that it is the responsibility of (queer) kids who have escaped abusive households to return home and make things right instead of staying the fuck away
it shouldn't have been steven's job to fix the diamond family and that kind of thinking is what keeps people trapped in abusive situations instead of gaining independence; to me it felt very much like setting queer kids up for failure by saying if you just return home and try hard your parents will eventually understand, when the reality is that in many many cases they won't
it's like the thanksgiving bit with the one conservative dude where it was like oh if the illegal aliens just give the conservative white guy a chance maybe they can be friends!! it feels like really irresponsible storytelling to me which places all the responsibility on the queer/marginalized people instead of the people who actually are causing harm
the show does this because steven is a schmaltz and those are the kinds of stories he likes and it is very self-aware of that fact but like. just do the stories about pearl being gay then. do the stories about the gems having amazing fusion adventures. don't do a story about fucking parental abuse that's not a schmaltzy topic, that's a topic which will hit some people very deeply and you have to be extremely careful before you even begin to touch
it's like there was nobody in the writing room to say "maybe we are not equipped to handle this story" and i think it led to a lot of things getting put in which were ultimately half-baked and kind of botched
