there's a good post going around that's like "what are your visual cues for evil?" and it's meant to get you to examine the bigotry baked into art and society around you and some people are doing a good job of pointing out racist etc tropes in villains, generally. which is a good thought exercise. but specifically UNRELATABLE. as a writer, literally 100% of my villains are blue eyed tall white men. literally ALL of them. only about half of them are also meant to be theoretically fuckable.

I'm getting to a point in writing where I want to write more about my ocs than about the canon characters but at the same time it feels like going to middle school art club and being like "this is trilly, they're nonbinary and homeless in the fantasy 1940s and they're traveling with their partner whose name is Starlight and she was an orphan saved by one background character from one book and they're traveling to find Trilly's uncle and cousin who went missing in the war and I think they're really cool so please care about them!"

I have two things I have to do today.
1) call my surgeon for my 2 week post-op followup
2) therapy this afternoon.
I want to write, but I feel like I should call my surgeon first to rip off the bandaid? But on the other hand, I'm pretty sure doing that is going to ruin my goddamn day lol.
So anyway I think I'm gonna write instead and call at like 4 instead so I at least have a few good hours, then I can have an hour to de-compress before therapy just to get myself worked up again.
