Cuddly here! I'm a known plague doctor fanatic and general space head. My reblog times are as varied as my interests. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to drop a line!

Anyone else have that thing where you get stressed out when someone else is in a bad mood because now it's your responsibility to make them feel better, but if you're in a bad mood and someone tries to cheer you up you get stressed out because now it's your responsibility to pretend that it's helping to make them feel better.

Oh so this is probably a trauma thing too. Bitches have one terrible childhood and then make it their whole personality. I'm bitches.

It's worse than that. The poor people probably don't even register in the equation at all (and if they did it was probably just on an actuarial level). They reasoned that the real estate value of the buildings was lower than the cost involved in renovating to protect them (the buildings). This isn't fat cat villains twirling their mustaches, this is the operative logic of capital at work. Which is worse!

The urge to bother my mutuals

reblog if it’s okay for your mutuals to bother you <3

imo the best way to interpret those “real people don’t do x” writing advice posts is “most people don’t do x, so if a character does x, it should be a distinguishing trait.” human behavior is infinitely varied; for any x, there are real people who do x. we can’t make absolute statements. we can, however, make probabilistic ones.

for example, most people don’t address each other by name in the middle of a casual conversation. if all your characters do that, your dialogue will sound stilted and unnatural. but if just one character does that, then it tells us something about that character.
