Have you ever asked for writing advice and then just got the like.... worst advice ever?
Like, you don't want to be that person who can't take criticism but.... the criticism you got is actually the worst?
If anyone wants to share their stories about this in reblogs/comments they can. We can suffer together. Also, if you anyone is interested, I can show you the critique I got.

Unmedicated me is such a hyperactive child. I'm playing music so loud it's actively giving me a headache. I'm shoving candy in my face on an empty stomach. I'm all-out dancing in my car. I'm playing Pokemon Red on my phone for every moment of having to wait in line

I'm sorry... you left your 14 year old already-overstimulated emetophobic child home alone with your seriously ill 12 year old son who is constantly projectile vomiting, and your also emetophobic anxious 10 year old daughter who needs help with homework, and you expected that to go well?
Respectfully, mother, ARE YOU INSANE?

wip: paradise lost [secrets for the good of the star]
Amaurot -- Two weeks after P8
Words of Lahabrea
The air in the room...shifted. That was the only way Lahabrea could describe it. Every instinct he possessed screamed 'danger!'--he'd hit a nerve with Azem but this...
This felt different. It felt as if he'd crossed a line, somewhere. And while the fights he and Azem would have were almost always verbal, Lahabrea felt the urge to call upon the flames in his blood. Azem had gone quiet--too quiet--in his chair, blue eyes narrowed into slits behind the ebon of her mask. Despite her youth she was easily the most powerful fighter on the star, her capacity for physical violence equal to that of her predecessor.
"If we're discussing secrets then, why don't we talk about you sundering your soul in half?" Years of experience stood Lahabrea in good stead for not revealing his shock--but something must have shown on his face, as Azem continued.
"I'm fairly certain you walking around at half of your power and being half a person was for the 'good of the star'. And while it seems you have rectified that situation, the fact remains that you had your own secret." Azem's voice was glacial, her body language deceptively casual.
"You cannot think to compare the two." Lahabrea stated.
"I'm not." Azem replied. "But there is a similarity in that we both have secrets. Your self-sundering, and my claiming of Riven. Both have been done for the good of the star, and I'm certain we're both confident in saying that neither is a threat. And I'm also certain that we're both perfectly happy in never speaking of such things ever again." Lahabrea narrowed his eyes.
"You would leave such a creature to roam the star?"
"What disturbs you, Lahabrea? The fact that there is a creation roaming free that was not created under your control, or the fact that there's a creature roaming free that follows their heart, and not cold logic?" Azem gracefully rose from the chair, the folds of her robes softly rustling as she headed for the office door.
"The idea of another version of you, running around and infecting others with their selfish choices, does not inspire much faith." Lahabrea watched as Azem paused at his words.
"By that train of logic then, I would say the same about Erichthonios." She replied, then put her hand on the doorknob. Her eyes flicked to the glass--and she could see faint sparks dancing around one of Lahabrea's clenched fists before she pushed the door open.

I love you!!🥺❤️
Oh um... Thank you!
I do love your blog. It makes me happy to see that in other instances of this universe there are other variants of me happily married.
A certain mage once told me that in most universes I seem to be known as the "unromanceable boyfriend in a box". He left that statement open to interpretation.

Oh, well, at least I still have one spell.
It gets even funnier when you find the connected literature.
