On the subject about parents needing to control their child's reading and invade their privacy in order to "protect" them from "inappropriate material:

Until I was in....college? At least? The vast, vast majority of the books I read were either a) assigned by my school or b) (the vast majority of my reading) provided to me by my mother.

My mom is a librarian. She filled our rooms with books, picked especially for us. She pointed out books on the shelves in our home library (separate from our bedroom shelves) that she thought we would like. She bought us books for birthdays, Christmas, and just stacks of recommendations. She once paid me $10 to read one of the Cirque Du Freak books because she said I needed "to be exposed to bad literature."

She respected my privacy in room, didn't go through my belongings. She explicitly pointed out to us that she wouldn't know if we took a particular book of the shelf, as long as we returned it, if we didn't want her to know we were reading it. She purposely brought us books that she didn't care for herself, because she thought we might find them valuable or enjoyable.

And if we wanted to read something she thought might upset or disturb us, she would explain why. She wouldn't stop us from reading it - just ask us to check in with her, to talk through it.

And so when I read something that upset or disturbed me, I would go to her. She would listen and talk through it with me.

If she said she didn't think I would like something, or that a book might disturb me, or that she thought I should wait until I was older, I listened to her.

She didn't need restrictions or control to protect me. Because she proved I could trust her.

Controlling kids is never about "protecting" them. It's just about control.

Rerouting…

[2024 remaster/edit of a drawing I did in 2020. Digital illustration. Procreate app.]

[I advise clicking to zoom in and see the whole thing, Tumblr compresses the thumbnail badly]

now that the summer hikaru died is on netflix and getting more attention i predict that there's going to be a wave of people saying that it should be more explicitly gay but i think anyone who says that is missing the point tbh. the crux of it all is that the real hikaru died before yoshiki could admit that he loved him and now he has to spend every day with the living breathing reminder of that. it's about the yearning, the grief for something that could have been and now never will be. mourning in silence and always wondering what it would have been like if you were brave enough to be true to yourself

also four chapters in yoshiki sticks his entire arm into a slit in hikaru's chest and hikaru blushes and says it feels good so idk theyre not exactly being subtle here. tbh. this is the love as consumption anime guys

August Writing Challenge!

Hello, my fellow writers! Welcome to the August Writing Challenge! This is the free tumblr version. I have a full workbook of this challenge with double the amount of prompts (31 dialogue prompts with the 31 scenario prompts below) on my Etsy ‘Spilled Ink Workshop’ if you are interested and would like to support my small business, I have lots of writing resources available. If not, that is totally fine. 

Here is the writing challenge, 31 scenario prompts that you can use to make up short stories each day, add your characters from your current works or even use them for fanfiction! It’s up to you!  If you need to alter the prompts slightly to fit your world (for example if phones don’t exist in the world you’ve created) that is fine too. Any writing that you want to share you can tag me or use the tag ‘writewithbeth’

Day One: A gift is left on your character’s doorstep with no note for who it is from 

Day Two: A stranger claims to know your character really well, they even know things about them that no one else would - but your character can’t remember them at all. 

Day Three: Your character receives a letter which has just three words - ‘don’t trust them’.

Day Four: An item from your character’s childhood is found and it sparks an interesting conversation. 

Day Five: Your character walks past the same stranger at the bus stop every day - what happens when they finally speak?

Day Six: Your character chooses to do a random act of kindness for someone.

Day Seven: Your character finds a message written in the front of a second hand book in a shop - but the message is in their own handwriting. 

Day Eight: Whilst reading a news article, your character sees a face from their past. 

Day Nine: Your character revisits a place from their past and almost nothing has changed. 

Day Ten: A friend calls your character and asks them to lie for them.

Day Eleven: Your character find a photo of themselves that they don’t remember being taken. 

Day Twelve: Your character makes an impulsive decision that changes everything. 

Day Thirteen: Your character reunites with someone they haven’t seen in years. 

Day Fourteen: A secret is revealed but no one reacts in the expected way. 

Day Fifteen: An old friend calls your character needing help. 

Day Sixteen: Someone confesses something to your character and your character can’t tell if they were being serious or not. 

Day Seventeen: Your character goes to return something they have borrowed but the person they borrowed it from doesn’t recognise it. 

Day Eighteen: Your character has to spend the day pretending to be someone else. 

Day Nineteen: Your character listens to someone else tell a story, knowing everything they’re saying is a lie. 

Day Twenty: Your character is asked to do a favour for someone that at first seems very simple, but it quickly becomes complicated. 

Day Twenty-One: Your character meets someone for the first time but can’t help feeling as though they have met before, even though they can’t have done. 

Day Twenty-Two: A stranger offers your character some advice and now they can’t stop thinking about it. 

Day Twenty-Three: Your character witnesses a small moment between two strangers and it stays with them all day. 

Day Twenty-Four: Your character visits a place they were told not to go.

Day Twenty-Five: Your character receives a voicemail from five years ago. 

Day Twenty-Six: Your character notices that everyone around them is behaving strangely but doesn’t know why. 

Day Twenty-Seven: Someone close to your character does something completely out of character for them. 

Day Twenty-Eight: Your character walks past the same people every day - one day, someone is missing. 

Day Twenty-Nine: Your character is offered something that will change everything for them. 

Day Thirty: Your character starts talking to a stranger on a bench and ends up revealing more about themselves than they thought they would. 

Day Thirty-One: Your character faces a new beginning. 

Happy writing!
