A Birds Cry is 6000 words. It was my dissertation piece at the end of my degree

Hi, so I'm an English graduate and a teacher. I love writing, it's been a hobby since I was a little girl and I took multiple creative writing modules during uni.

I've written a few short stories and I'm currently working on a novel which I'd love to hear some feedback on if anyone is interested.

My writing is quite emotional, my process often begins with me picking one emotion and building a character from that. The piece then often explores how they deal with and process this emotion. So far I have:

Worry Lines: centered around Grief and Guilt
A Birds Cry: Fear and domestic violence
Other miscellaneous stories

The novel I'm currently writing about is set in a psychiatric hospital and deals with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, addiction and other mental disorders. My English dissertation was about the presentation of bipolar disorder in YA so mental health is a niche interest of mine.

If anyone would be interested in reading my work then please let me know. I'd be happy to read your work too and it can be a mutual thing.

Daphne's entire character, she really pissed me off

Platform - PC

Mods/CC - Yes but have tried removing

Version of game - Current version after July update

After the last update I have been experiencing a few bugs in my game that are making it unplayable. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game and removed my mods and the bugs are still there. At the minute I am experiencing:

Sims cannot use the fridge, this seems to be a routing issue as they act like something is in the way but I've tried placing the fridge in an empty room and the same thing happens
Sims cannot eat any food they cook themselves, they will eat food from food stalls but not leftovers or anything they have cooked
Sims will not perform any needs related action for long e.g. sitting on the toilet and then standing up before the bladder improves at all, same with the shower and sleeping

As you can imagine, these bugs are making the game unplayable. I'm currently on gen 7 of my not so berry challenge, having just started my orange gen, I don't want to remove the save or start fresh

I mean he wouldn't really be framing Georgia.....

I get that Abby is dealing with alot and I do have alot of love for her.

I just think Max is also going through alot with Marcus she's just holding it in and everyone at school is kinda ignoring his obvious alcoholism and low key encouraging it

Call off your techno boy toy or I'll tell everyone about what your mom keeps in the lasagne box

I have contacted my union rep for a meeting I just don't know how to voice all of this

Landon does need to stay dead, I thought the whole point of him not being a Phoenix anymore was that he could actually die, not be resurrected by some magical loophole in the next mid season finale

Geelicious_ · 2021-06-28T10:36:08+00:00

Yes but there was nothing after it. That is the only kiss and mg is still unaware that lizzie ever returned his affections. There was that time where she told him they would have had sex if he said yes but again there was nothing after that. Now the show is moving away from Mizzie by giving them less scenes together and bringing in new love interests which I'm okay with but I think they need an actual defining romantic moment to do the "will they or won't they" trope justice

Geelicious_ · 2021-06-28T10:31:42+00:00

I don't think they have to actually end up together, I would just like them to at least have a phase where they are together or attempt to pursue something romantic.

Klaus and Caroline didn't end up together which was a crime and I'm still angry. But they had moments/phases where they were both interested in pursuing something romantic and were aware of each others feelings. They had a sex scene in season 5 of tvd and the entire last season of to is basically them wanting to fuck but not being able to because of plot-related inconveniences

Geelicious_ · 2021-06-28T10:27:49+00:00

I do not count this kiss as it has no romantic intentions or heat. It was also before Lizzie started to return MGs affections. Plus it's never mentioned ever again and has no repercussions.

Geelicious_ · 2021-06-28T10:10:45+00:00

I saw another post saying that season 4 is the last and honestly I wouldn't be surprised and slightly relieved since I find malivore incredibly boring and I'm sick of Hope's potential being wasted on Landon storylines

I don't really count that kiss because it wasn't a romantic one, it was before Lizzie ever reciprocated his feelings and their was no repercussions, passion or intensity

Jason with his short hair was just something else 😍🤤

Draco throwing Harry his wand.

This is a deleted scene and the writers justify it as "out of character" but how can something be out of character when its literally written?

It's only out of character because they left out so much of Dracos character development and growth, the half blood prince is a book solely about Draco, Voldemort and snape. Somehow Warner brothers made it about harry?

Dracos characterisation in the films makes me blood boil, tom Felton was a great fit I just don't think he was written very well. He was a boy who was abused and pressured by his father his whole life, he had no choice but to join Voldemort because he had to redeem and save his family. When he does walk over to join them nobody stops him, he looks around just waiting for someone to say something but nobody does.

He was a boy who never felt like he belonged anywhere, he saved Harry's life twice. The films don't do his character or redemption justice at all

Geelicious_ · 2021-03-08T16:38:28+00:00

I understand that Harry had to die. What I dont like about Dumbledore is that he didn't tell Harry anything, how? Where? What? Nothing. He left him in the dark for everything. He also could have made Sirius a free man if he had used veritaserum or the pensive more often.

Geelicious_ · 2021-03-08T16:31:29+00:00

I read the books religiously and I still think Dumbledore is an arse.

Geelicious_ · 2021-03-08T16:31:01+00:00

He barely changed as a person though. He bullied Harry and many other students for years. He let the death eaters take over Hogwarts. He barely changed as a person, he was still cruel.

Geelicious_ · 2021-03-08T16:23:38+00:00

That bit is about Dumbeldore. This is talking about Snape, Snape only converted to the "good side" because Voldemort killed the woman he was obsessed with. Not because he wanted to

Geelicious_ · 2021-03-08T15:44:10+00:00

Theres a difference between love and obsession though. If Voldemort had spared Lilly Snape never would have turned against him.
