susiephone:

less “chosen one” heroes, more heroes that chose THEMSELVES. give me heroes that see a problem, look around, and think, “WELP, clearly no one ELSE is gonna fix it, so APPARENTLY it has to be me” and goes to their friends and is like “Y’ALL, GET YOUR SHIT, WE’RE GOING ON A QUEST”

“what wait why”

“the world is broken and the people in charge aren’t doing anything, so we’re gonna do something for them”

“didn’t the prophecy say a wise and noble mage would choose someone to conquer the evil?”

“yeah well, i can do magic, and i’m pretty fucking wise and noble, right?”

“…..”

“……………….RIGHT?!”

*hasty statements of agreement*

“exactly. so, i’ve come to the conclusion that i’m the mage of the prophecy. and guess what. i choose myself. now let’s go.”

What about both?

“Hey Im gonna go FIX this shit”

Some god: o shit this guys actually kinda cool Im just gonna slap my name over his head and let him do his thing

*glances wearily at my 5,000 bookmarked fics in which everything is awesome and everyone is happy* 

XD XD XD

i mean…yes! surprisingly enough! i would indeed! like to read a story! in which characters i like are happy and everything is awesome! that would be great! i like it when characters i like are happy! it makes me happy! fancy that!

in all seriousness, most superhero stories require a central conflict. sure. but ‘characters dealing with a problem’ ≠ ‘characters being constantly miserable or angry’.

like. you can have conflict AND protagonists enjoying themselves, enjoying what they do, savoring small victories even while the larger problem is ongoing, exchanging a smile with a friend, taking a break from the fight to eat a piece of buttered toast, etc.

because moments of light relief are 1. enjoyable for the reader, who presumably does not want to see their fave suffering endlessly 2. important narrative tools for throwing the moments of drama into sharper relief and 3. give you as a writer a chance to flesh out the character, because when people are constantly, constantly unhappy it is actually a bit boring and does not reveal anything about their personality that we did not already know. 

Jesus fuck be he is legitimately thick as pigshit, isn’t he?

What she says: I hate antis

What she really means: I don’t mind people disliking a ship for their own reason but the anti-shipping movement is driven by hate and bandwagon bullying to police what people are “allowed” to enjoy. They use fundamentally abusive and manipulative tactics on real people in the name of protecting survivors from speculative things in fiction. Antis want to act morally superior over ship wars and claim that to ship something problematic you must be a survivor. By doing this antis force survivors who may be uncomfortable with coming out with their status to out themselves and then hold them to impossible standards. Except when it does come to survivors who ship anti-deemed problematic things we are attacked, harassed, and then pushed under the bus anyway. Antis trivialize terms such as abuse, rape, and pedophilia by using them so often and out of place against a group made up of many survivors and minors– the people they claim to be protecting. They have bullied and suicide baited artists and other content creators they dislike in the name of “policing the bad ships uwu.” All antis are at fault for this, even if an anti claims not to send hate themselves they are still influencing this bad behavior because they are part of this hate group. The entire anti-shipper movement is a toxic cesspool that makes me feel sick.

unless you’re anti (insert ship with pedophilia) or (insert incest ship) or (insert abusive ship) because that shit is NOT ok

A reminder to antis never go near libraries because that shit will blow your mind.
