Baby Witch Here

the court jesters aren't serving cunt your majesty

This might be unpopular but I’m not going to use simpler vocabulary in my writing if it’s out of character for the narrator. If my POV character is a botanist, he’s going to call a plant by its name. If you don’t know what it is you can either Google it or move on just knowing it’s a plant of some sort.

I don’t like this trend of readers being angry that not everything is 100% understandable for them. I want my characters to be believable as people and sometimes people use words people outside of their field will not understand. That’s not a bad thing.

You don’t have to understand every word to get the gist of what’s happening. I’m not going to slow down an action scene to describe every weapon because someone might not know them by name. They can just assume it’s a weapon because that makes sense in the context of the scene.

It doesn't matter what you think, stop doing it. When someone tells you you're doing something wrong, trying to argue around it just makes you a jackass. Just apologize and correct your behavior.

This, my friends, is what we call “weaponizing progressive language.”

Because this would be a completely reasonable response in many circumstances. We’ve all seen similar things said to people who genuinely need to Stop, like celebrities defending their use of slurs (to name just one example). Devoid of context, this ask seems like someone fighting against an unreasonable asshole.

Except the thing I was most recently told to stop doing was…acknowledging that historical trans people existed.

The only reason I’m not simply ignoring this ask is that, once upon a time, I would have seen it and immediately started groveling. Because I don’t want to hurt anyone, and I ESPECIALLY don’t want to be doing so habitually. And very young people- like teens -in progressive spaces, I feel, are often cornered like this and made to apologize for “transgressions” that aren’t real. They have the compassion, but not yet enough experience to recognize this pattern of behavior.

It’s important to apologize and change when you hurt someone undeserving, or a group of innocent people. But it’s also important to recognize when someone is trying to use that concern for others against you.

can't spell disconnecting from reality without disco. let's dance

i get so mad when i hear things scuttling inside the walls. like yeah yeah we get it…youre a creature. you dont need to rub it in my face that youre capable of scuttling

when people say my name im like.   cant believe i exist

I dropped my gender on the floor under my work desk and haven't seen it since. I think the floor might have eaten it.

Alright so, I've been interested in witchcraft for a while and I've finally decided to get into it. Now, the problem is every single time I start learning about something, another witch is like "IT'S BULLSHIT! DON'T FALL FOR IT!", so I'm just lost and very confused. So, can someone help out this 15 year old baby witch who wants to work with herbs, because I really don't know where to start.
