been thinking about the rabies condition in writing lately, which is a GREAT post about stakes and characterization. basically exploring how if there's a 100% chance a character is doomed, then they can and will do extremely dangerous/damaging/contraindicated things for the slimmest hope of survival. which is one of my Favorite narrative devices

but while we're using health metaphors, i've been thinking about another somewhat complicated means of introducing character stakes, which i'm tentatively calling 'the autoimmune condition' for reasons that are. obvious

the premise itself is simple: the character has Something that they need to survive. they either can't live without this thing or they will lose something vital about themselves if they lose this thing. there is no replacement or alternative for the thing. what's most important are that the consequences for losing it are Extreme, rabies-condition-style

in the real life allegory, this is the immune system. which is great for being alive!

then the problem is introduced when this thing starts killing the character.

the character still needs it to live.

so: there is a 100% chance that you will die if you destroy the thing killing you. if you impair it through other means, there is a 100% chance of consequences, though the severity of those consequences is up to the author. (these are medication side effects in the real life allegory.)

if you do everything you're supposed to then you'll PROBABLY survive, but you're gonna have to play lifelong tug-of-war to balance everything, and you are often going to have to choose between two shitty options. bc there is no alternative.

this is a counterpart to the rabies condition in terms of stakes; with this condition, your character has to make complicated and difficult decisions about what they're sacrificing for their future. it's not the immediate life-and-death stakes of rabies, it's a slow decay instead.

what side effect consequences are they willing to take on?? and what are they NOT willing to take on?? where do their priorities lie in terms of symptom management?? what other solutions are they looking for?? what are they willing to sacrifice??

and perhaps most importantly: what exactly do they need to lose before they'll Accept the side effects / sacrifices that used to terrify them?? how high do the stakes need to be??

at what point is this character going to look back at the choices they've made up to this point, and realize that they no longer recognize themselves??

Choi Do-il really said "you're financially illiterate because you've never had the privilege to live beyond supermarket reward points or learn anything that wasn't absolutely required for your family's survival and NOT because you aren't intelligent enough". and that was very sexy of him.

Also, just as an overall observation, I really can't help but wonder how much better things might be if we actually tried to teach kids about the complexities of the world, rather than "Protecting Them."

(But that's the one thing the right wing literally can't stand, so god forbid we do that.)

been noticing painful swelling of my years-old abdominal surgical scar and more worrying webs of visibly dark blue electric-to-the-touch vessels across my butt on top of everything else. i’m so tired of never having healed from the cosmetic surgeries. i’m so tired of whipping myself for how stupid i was bc there’s simply nothing else to do and no one else to blame. i’m so tired of how this continues to cause pain and discomfort every day of my life. i’m so tired of wondering how much worse this will all get with aging and oxidization.

I'm constantly shocked by the disconnect between the patriarchal ideal of manhood vs what anyone interested in men actually wants in a man.

You see all these men online who are like "I make 6 figures. I'm 6 feet tall. I own a sports car. I go to the gym every day. But the only women who are interested in me are ugly. Nobody else will give me a chance. What am I doing wrong?"

Like how is it not common knowledge at this point that THE #1 THING YOU CAN DO to get women's attention if you're a man trying to date women is to genuinely like and respect women as people?

Get some women friends you care about that you're not trying to sleep with. It's a huge green flag. When you meet someone you're interested in, find out what she likes to do and learn a bit about it. Be interested in her.

Guys can literally be broke and plain and out of shape and drive a beater car, but if they're genuinely kind people with friendships, who have a couple hobbies and show interest in other people's hobbies, there will be women who are into them. Guaranteed. The only other thing is like some level of good grooming. Take showers, wear clean clothes, brush your hair. ✨ that's literally all ✨ I can't believe there are still guys out there who think they need to match the patriarchal ideal of manhood, an ideal that was constructed without the input of women, to get women's attention
