People who don’t do or create shit are always the most critical because they have no frame of reference. They severely underestimate how much energy it takes, how much fear and other psychic burdens need to be overcome, the sheer amount of relentless persistence, faith and self-belief it takes to put something, no matter how feeble and shitty, out in to the world.
It seems so easy just looking. “I could do that”. “I could’ve made that”. Well then do it. Look at the most feeble and easy looking creative work and then replicate it in your own way. And with no irony or hiding or joking- in all sincerity put your name on it - and show it to others. People you know in real life. As a representation of yourself. See how it feels. You’ll have a new appreciation and softness towards creative friends and strangers.
komaeda isn’t a danganronpa character to me anymore he’s a specter haunting europe
“how does judaism exist in this fantasy world” dont overthink it. let me do the overthinking
“why does fantasy christianity exists in those 839384747437 fantasy worlds” is also a question worth asking
every mainstream fantasy these days is like Go- i mean. the allfather, and the virgin mar- i mean, the blessed lady, and. um. the martyr. who is so definitely not jesus. who died for our sins-
like i get what you’re saying here, but the reason christianity keeps getting reproduced in fantasy is because the politics of western europe were caused by the existence of christianity. like i get what you’re saying but western fantasy is based almost entirely on an era and location that were completely defined by christianity. like what you’re saying makes sense but there is an actual reason people write like that.
Congratulations on recognising the problem have a gold star
I feel like when I say ‘relatable’ what I really mean is ‘resonant.’ I don’t want characters who I feel are like me, I want characters who have emotions so strong I can feel them through the page.
I think this is important because a lot of us forget the power of stories to make us feel things about characters who are not like us, who have experienced things that we never will. The purpose of listening to someone else’s story should not necessarily be identification, but understanding.
