baby i can be your morally ambiguous person you have an undefined relationship and long and complicated history with who commits crimes and even kills for you so that you don't have to sacrifice your values and your reputation as an upstanding moral citizen by getting your own hands dirty as an act of devotion
I know it's been said 100 times before, but it bears repeating: your story doesn't have to be perfect.
I just finished reading a fully published, printed book that sometimes dragged on. I found myself critiquing it, zoning out every now and then, finding some of the characters annoying.
But you know what? The emotional peak still made me tear up. I was still rooting for the main character the whole way. I still saw how heart felt, relatable, and well-thought-out the plot was.
Not every chapter, not ever paragraph, not every sentence, not every word needs to strike a chord for your story to mean something.
With all it's imperfections, your story is worth telling.
this is your reminder to SAVE your work
personally I think an underutilized ship dynamic is "this is so ill-advised that we are both aware on some level that it cannot possibly end in anything but a breakup so acrimonious that we'll spend the rest of our lives hunting each other for sport, but we have decided to keep making out with each other anyway."
