literally who the fuck are these people using asks to be mean. smh where's that neopets comment that just says "is arguing like some kind of coping mechanism for you?" exhausting, get well soon. Anyway, Tabi, I am wishing you a lovely day and please tell the kitty that she is oh so cute and perfect!

Here is the pretty princess for everyone (and thanks for the nice asks!)

The way I personally stay true to the story I started down on is to give myself permission to not teach anyone anything. I’m not writing a manual. I’m not delivering bromides. I know that a lot of people do take enormous pleasure and relief in lines or phrases or ideas from stories that ring true to their own lives, but it’s important for me that I tell a story and that I’m not writing Chicken Soup for the Necromantic Soul. It is getting harder and harder again, especially for authors from marginalised places or backgrounds, to write works where the takeaway isn’t ‘this is to succour all my marginalised people’. For anyone on the female-identified axis this is especially hard because it seems to me that most books by anyone female-adjacent have an expectation that they will comfort the uncomfortable and discomfit the comfortable etc., whereas a guy can just tell an adventure story and be done with it. This ties in with an idea that I think <is prevalent> nowadays that good art is moral and bad art is immoral: i.e. if a story is bad it actually has to be because the lessons are bad, and if a story is good it must somehow be beautiful on the moral scale. We go looking for why the art we love is moral even if the art we love is a donut. I think this is the pressure of capitalism on time – that everything has to double or triple up in benefit compared to the time we take on it: if we’re prepared to waste eight hours on a book we had better be able to tot up at the end how that book was also feeding us in some way. That’s brand time we just used.

I am writing for my younger self and it would be disgusting of me to try to teach her anything.

why is it that all the new addams family media from the last like 20 years has been like “oh wednesday doesn’t fit in with her family” “oh wednesday is striking out on her own and discovering her own interests” as if she’s not literally the perfect ideal addams and she doesn’t love being the perfect ideal addams meanwhile pugsley is a colorful bright-haired optimist who adopted a puppy and then joined the boy scouts until his parents called a therapist on him

addams family musical at least had the excuse that it was her love interest who didn’t fit in and not her and she was just worried about him what is everyone else’s excuse. the second animated film while fun really was like “omg what if wednesday was adopted??? 😱” well first of all not a single member of the addams family would give a single solitary shit and second you’re really asking that about the clone of morticia and not the blonde one

just watched a tiktok (which is my bad, honestly) where a person said they hate it when books and movies have endings that are open to interpretation because they think it's lazy. "i don't want to write the ending in my brain. YOU write the ending with your pen and paper" come on, dude. let's just. come on now. say sike

i mean jesus christ do you want someone to chew your food for you too? i think probably i would avoid you if i saw you at a party, brother. and everyone in the comments who agreed with him. i don't want to hear your opinion on like. anything. ever.

"so how did the ending of that movie make you feel?" "well there weren't explicit instructions so i don't know, actually" that's how you sound. begone.

if u dont like endings that are up to interpretation thats fine to have as a personal opinion but it isnt lazy writing
