one thing i adore about fandom is the “[bad parent]’s A+ parenting” tag on ao3. it’s so universal and so sarcastic and it makes me giggle every time i see it

Hey, random writing tip: Instead of having something be a ridiculously unlikely coincidence, you can make the thing happen due to who this particular character is as a person. Instead of getting stuck on "there's no logical reason to why that would happen", try to bend it into a case of "something like this would never happen to anybody but this specific fucker." Something that makes your reader chuckle and roll their eyes, going "well of course you would."

Why would the timid shy nerd be at a huge sketchy downtown black market bazaar? Well, she's got this beetle colony she's raising that needs a very specific kind of leaf for nest material, and there only place to get it is this one guy at the bazaar that sells that stuff. Why would the most femininely flamboyant guy ever known just happen to have downright encyclopedic knowledge about professional boxing? Well, there was this one time when he was down bad for this guy who was an aspiring professional boxer...

I know it sounds stupidly obvious when written out like this, but when you're up close to your writing, it's hard to see the forest for the trees. Some time ago I finished reading a book, where the whole plot hinges on character A, who is 100% certain that character B is dead, personally getting up and coming down from the top rooms of a castle, to the gates, at 3 am, to come look at some drunk who claims to be this guy who died 17 years ago. Why would A do that, if he's sure that B is dead?

Because he's a Warrior Guy from a culture of Loyalty And Honour, and hearing that someone's got the audacity to go about claiming to be his long-lost brother in battle, there is no other option than to immediately personally go down there to beat the ever-loving shit out of this guy. Who then turns out to actually be character B, after all.

Imagine getting a cat from an animal shelter and deciding to pick the very sweet and gentle one who hasn't made a single sound the whole time you're there, and being told "yeah she doesn't meow like other cats do", and then when you say "oh it's ok, I don't mind a cat who isn't very vocal!" the shelter's people look at you like they're about to say something but decide against it.

And then you bring your kitty home and the first time she wants your attention, she opens her mouth and the sound that comes out is a low, soothing but abnormally long continuous tune that you can only describe as something between mongolian throat singing and a didgeridoo.

Future me is going to regret this but I can’t sleep until I get these words out of my brain or else I’ll get sick.

In anticipation of the movie, I just read Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Look Back and saw a fair amount of people that had problems with the ending, were unsure about what happened/ what it had to say about manga etc. This surprised me because i thought the ending made perfect sense. And then I realized, and forgive me for being pretentious here, that it might not make sense if you’re not an artist.

The final dialogue is the protagonist, after a terrible tragedy, recounting how manga is terrible work. It’s thankless, you draw for hours every day and don’t even get close to finishing, the pay is awful, it can be read in a matter of minutes. And then she wipes her eyes, stands up to her tablet, and starts drawing.

And while all art is hard work that goes under appreciated to a certain extent I’ve known people in a variety of field that are extra thankless (comics, animation, music composition, printmaking, film production, game design, 3D modeling, etc), and every person I’ve known in those fields talks about how much it sucks. You work for hours and it’s viewed in seconds, barely anyone understands the mechanics of your craft, your pay is terrible if you even get paid, the clout is minuscule. And then all of us finish talking, and go back to our desks to resume working. There’s no question about it.

It reminds me of Asteroid City’s “I still don’t understand the play/ it doesn’t matter, just keep telling the story”

And even when the pain in your feet takes root

When her breath behind you becomes one with your own

Dear Oprheus, she won't fault you

Because as you turn around to catch her gaze

She'll be looking right back at yours

Look Back/ルックバック, dir. by Kiyotaka Oshiyama (2024)

Look Back has beautifully rendered backgrounds; breathtaking landscapes

While the characters themselves are drawn with swift and expressive strokes, filled with emotion and movement

How...peculiar right?
