"objectively physically attractive but in possession of negative rizz" is one of my favorite character concepts. i think it's so great when there's an absurdly hot person who's just a complete fucking loser. the mood is unsalvageable the moment they open their mouth kind of deal. you get no bitches because you're so sucks.

this was pretty much the joke, yes - was talkin w/my mom about those tutorial videos that go "this is an easy DIY thing, super cheap!" then suddenly the next shot is of them using expensive tools most people do not already own

you can be peeling a boiled egg and think to yourself wow. that was so simple. and then you peel another one and it’s like being in the throes of war. shell everywhere. egg mangled. tears in your eyes. that’s how god keeps you humble

It's good and cool to give your characters a single simple, straightforward, non-urgent, super-achievable goal that shouldn't really cost anything or hurt anyone, make that the driving factor for most of their decisions, and then have the Plot do everything in its power to stop them.

Goals include but are not limited to:

  • Wanting to go home
  • Wanting people out of your house who shouldn't be there
  • Trying to find a reliable babysitter
  • Trying to deliver a letter or package
  • Trying to do a favor for someone
  • Wanting to see a specific thing, place, or kind of animal
  • Wanting to collect the money somebody owes you (the lower the debt the better)
  • Trying to win a bet
  • Wanting to punch a specific person in the face

"wanting people out of your house who shouldn't be there" is my favorite because that was literally Shrek's main goal

It's also Tom's main goal in almost any Tom and Jerry cartoon that takes place inside a house.

This is one of my husband’s favorite short stories. He quotes it from memory. I’m pretty sure he can recite the entire thing from memory.

This is a tremendously impactful short story and every time I see it, it serves as an excellent reboot button for my state of mind.

I feel like people don't understand what fetishization really means & it has a lot of well intentioned lefty types like afraid of being attracted to people

Like you're allowed to be attracted to marginalized people lol ... you're allowed actively think certain traits they have are beautiful. You can even think they're hot. This isn't inherently objectifying. As long as you're treating them like people it's fine. You don't have to like, pretend you don't know what somebody looks like lest your attraction be Problematic

Remember: sexual attraction in itself is morally neutral. And my crazy take is that if you're respectful about it it's actually cool and good to find beauty in different kinds of people & being horny about it doesn't negate that. Peace and love on planet earth
