What I find very interesting about Arcane is how much shimmer is absolutely not a fun drug. It would have been so easy to just go that route and they didn’t, it’s way more interesting. What’s baffling is the number of people who still look at it and see it as one.

Someday I’ll write The Book about being sexualized and abused by adult women as a pre-trans boy by being seen as a “safe alternative” to all the men in their lives and how they believed it couldn’t be bad or sexual because they were straight woman.

And us guys get the other side. “We imagine you as opting out of all the shit parts of being assigned female HOW FKN DARE YOU” so nobody believes we get a double dose of sexism bc we’re trans, assigned female, & smeared w all the stereotypes about men but its ok bc it’s aFfiRmiNg to male bash us

Don’t get me wrong, I adore it when he rips into landlords, religious hypocrites, and people being cruel to animals, but the ones that make me laugh hardest are the frequent times when someone does something absolutely perfectly normal and True just clobbers them for that crime.

I dunno. I was talking with my other trans friends and they remember taking creative writing classes and always being told to write from the perspective of “their” gender as kids before they came out and how uncomfortable it was. That you “should” write from your own gender’s perspective is —

That’s why I thought this guy may be more of a concept writer where the issue is usually these guys just finding what they consider the “female sphere” uninteresting which is a very different issue than either. Or he could be a scalie, I dunno.

And this isn’t really something that is fixable without totally changing one’s writing style to something at least more distant, if it is possible at all to do and one might question why do it if body-centered writing is one’s strength.

I think I am being misinterpreted. I question the honesty of his answer but also question whether there are any real answers he could have said. Eg someone in another post brought up gender dysphoria as a reason which I think can be a very real issue for body-centered writers

I used to fantasise about an early death, for lots of reasons - some heartbreakingly dark, some queasily narcissistic. I've finally outgrown it, I think. I'm going to live two whole centuries, outlive you all, die unnoticed and unremarked, a remade secret.

I only read it all the way through for the first time and found it fascinating how much was going on there, it really made it feel like the world contained multitudes of narratives like the real world, but also, would really, really not work for the “modern reader”.

Yeah I guess whenever I see these and the answer is essentially “women would roast me on the internet for trying” I wonder if it’s actually honest. Or really it’s just some variation of “I don’t want to”. Because I haven’t read this guy but my gut tells me it’s the latter.

where if you stick around, the writer’s/artist’s *type* becomes extremely obvious and they’re unlikely to branch out anytime soon. Maybe my mistake is thinking most writers ultimately function like this? I don’t know.

I guess this may be less of an issue in sf/f (?) but if you read a lot of some authors a decent number will only ever really write one protagonist (who may change or evolve, but remain a pretty narrow archetype) and never branch out. It might be because I spend more time in erotica/romance/fanfic

Seeing some weird stuff about what people deduce about artists based on their work. (Most of it 20/20 hindsight.) As someone who intentionally works in allegory (though it's NEVER marketed that way), people are givingh way too much weight to literal readings of texts.

For once I want the answer to “why don’t you write female protagonists” to be: “Well, you see, I often fantasize about my protagonists in sexual situations with each other and I’m not into women. It’s men who get my dick hard, so I use them as my protagonists exclusively.”
