Happy Hoelidays Challenge

This is the reason Nancy Pelosi is so sensitive about political violence. It is the reason she does not trust these republican members of the house who refuse to go through the metal detectors on Capitol Hill. It is why the violent rhetoric used by republicans against her and other democrats upsets and angers her so much.

She knew these people that were assasinated. She is friends with Senator Diane Feinstein, who found Harvey Milk’s dead body, and unknowingly put her hand through one of his bullet holes trying to find a pulse. She is also friends with Congresswoman Jackie Speier who was shot 5 times in Jonestown where another San Francisco congressman, Leo Ryan, was shot and killed one week before Milk and Moscone.

Jackie Speier still has two bullets in her body from Jonestown. San Francisco city hall still has metal detectors at entrances and do bag searches because they have not forgotten that this happened, and city employees are not exempt from going through them because of Dan White. The entire city still has collective trauma from this two week period forty years ago, and it particularly effects their elected officials there.

History matters. Shared trauma matters. It should be taught and understood so it can be avoided from ever happening again.

so i noticed

that since that whole “no porn no more” rule of tumblr has been installed, it became very hard to find fics. Before when I used to type in “bucky x reader” I got a ton of fics, old and new. But now it’s just a dozen of posts, and I can’t find any of my faves. Luckily, I have bookmarked a lot of my favourite MCU reader insert fics. 

Also, my own fics who I moved to this new blog had hundreds of notes in days - and now they have less than ten each. I assume because they don’t have the same visibility because they have bad words that tumblr no likey.

so here’s a list of authors (fics in next post) . Let’s spread these lists and reblog each other’s fics, because if Tumblr won’t let us find porn to read - we’ll find it for each other.

How To Write Character Flaws

It can be hard to find that balance between a character that is too perfect for readers to love and a character that is too flawed for readers to relate to.

Something I like to remember when thinking of flaws to give characters is that very often, flaws can be positive attributes that are in excess.

(This is related to Aristotle’s Virtues and Doctrine of the Mean.)

FOR INSTANCE,

Courage is a positive trait.

But taken too far? That can lead to rashness, or recklessness, which are negative traits. And without enough courage? The character is meak, fearful and cowardly, which are also negative traits.

Here are some examples to think of for your characters of positive traits taken to the extremes.

Virtue- kindness

Excess-easily taken advantage of

Deficiency- selfishness

-

Virtue- ambition

Excess- greed/avarice

Deficiency- lazy

-

Virtue- honesty

Excess- harshness

Deficiency- secrecy/dishonesty

-

Virue- decisiveness

Excess-impulsiveness

Deficiency-indecision

-

Virtue- passionate

Excess- irritating

Deficiency- apathetic

-

Virtue- strong leadership

Excess- over-controlling

Deficiency- indifferent/passive

Hope this helps :)

Damn, even urban dictionary knows what's up!!

every time a black writer on here gets a message asking them (or really demanding them) to write white readers, i just think about that interview toni morrison did that one time where the interviewer asked if she’ll ever write about white people in a substantial way and the way she just said to them “you can’t even begin to understand the racism of that question” or something along those lines. fandom in general, and fic in particular, has alienated black, and poc overall, readers since day one and for all the posts about diversity in fanfic that circulate on here, i never see anons holding their faves who write white readers accountable for more diversity. instead, you accost black writers making a space for themselves to make room for you. you who can suspend all disbelief to read about readers who are assassins and mutants, but can’t change or ignore features in a poc reader fic so you don’t feel “uncomfortable” (which, by the way, is an issue in and of itself). black people are allowed to tell stories that include us explicitly. full stop. and no one is asking you to read those stories if you don’t want to. coming into black/poc writers’ spaces to tell them they can’t include themselves in the fanfic world is racist point blank and you will never have any legs to stand on in that argument. so just… shut up. stay on blogs that cater to you and leave us alone lmaooo
