writing is so funny because i could write nonstop for 9hrs and then hit a block where im like "how do i transition between this moment and the next?" and then i just dont touch it for 6 months

i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because: 

i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live 

most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person 

im not a pissbaby

the symbiotic relationship between tumblr and AO3 should be studied in a lab

I accidentally went ultra viral on Substack.com for a post about zines being the antithesis to Generative AI and let me tell you--I've never gotten so many spiteful replies to something in my LIFE.

Keep in mind I was part of the Les Mis fandom here in 2012-2014 and got anon messages constantly telling me to go kms for shipping certain ships. The AI bros are SOOOO much worse than the tumblr literature and musical theatre gays and THAT is saying something.

The novel is called Pride & Prejudice.

If you make Darcy in a Sad Little Socially Anxious Shyboi who never did anything wrong in his life and has TRAUMA from Georgiana's near elopement, then you remove his snobbish Pride and erase his classiest Prejudice and it's no longer the novel Jane Austen wrote.

If you focus only on how men need to fix themselves and forget that Elizabeth judged too quickly and harshly; if you erase her need to grow, you remove her Pride in her intelligence/judgment and her Prejudice in maintaining her First Impressions (original title) and it's no longer the novel that Jane Austen wrote.

The story is beautiful because two people are open-minded enough to learn, reflect, and grow. The love story is compelling because neither of them are perfect. If you disrupt the balance of their faults, the entire premise falls apart.
