When It Feels Like Writing Is Impossible But You Really Really Want To Write Anyway, Just Skip The Bits

I hate the animefication of the characters post aa4. The whitewashing (giving phoenix and Maya blue eyes) is so fucked up but also the characters are generally less Round and more Pointy and it sucks so bad. Aa6 phoenix looks WEIRD to me who is that guy. The official art for the trilogy is so warm and nice and silly in comparison. Just wanted to say this thanks.

"animefication" is such a good word for it. you're so right

ursula k le guin said sci fi/fantasy does not have to be about giant wars or battles of good and evil or galactic disaster; it is best served as a lens through which to examine what is actually intrinsic to the human condition and what, once removed a few layers from our own perceptions & assumptions, begins to fall apart. and she was correct.

In the middle of the ocean

this is so comforting honestly. those stories I didn't finish are not a wasted effort, they're actually an important source of nutrients for the brain worms

Contrary to popular belief, abandoned WIPs are crucial to the writer ecosystem, as they become the fertile soil from which completed works grow. Without them, the landscape would be sterile and barren
