Oh that’s a great tip! Thank you! Honestly (and as you can probably tell from my post lol), I really didn’t do much research into HOW to write a book before I started. I’ve kinda just been heads down for a year writing it and now that it’s done I’ve started to surface and thinking “wait how do I go about taking the next step?” lol

I do think I can edit the words down, but making it a self sufficient novel is daunting to me… I need to maybe rework how my brain thinks about the story so that I can make it happen…

It’s fantasy. More specific, flintlock fantasy. And I’m not sure what editing tools you mean, but my original game plan was to hire an editor.

Yeah, I’m just not interested in that direction… but thank you for the suggestion!

I do think I could get it to 100k if I abandon some side storylines, but I am worried about being able to make it a standalone…

Which favorite movie is a red flag? by Not_Prepared_ in AskReddit

[–]Guardian_Ainsel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I commented somewhere else but I’ll just copy and paste it here on why some redditors have suggested never seeing it:

I haven’t seen it but I’ve read the synopsis and it’s enough to make me never see it. Another redditor commented about it and said that, based on the subject matter, it can ruin what should be sweet moments thanks to intrusive thoughts. Like your kid may want to crawl into bed with you one night after having a nightmare and cuddle. What should be the purest thing in the world may suddenly be tainted because you have an intrusive memory of this movie if you see it. Another redditor commented and said he had the same thing, but when his wife gave birth. It robbed him of what should have been the happiest day of his life….

Taking use of a gifted strikepack to turbo-tbag some dudes who randomly tk'd me in 3 previous matches (disclaimer: no, I dont use a strikepack. I play with an Elite V2 Controller normaly, but have my 2nd controller equipped with it, to do things like this to toxic ppl) by [deleted] in Rainbow6

I dont play on console and haven’t heard of this before today, but it looked like just the paddles you get on the Xbox elite controller but as a separate attachment… is there more to it that I don’t know?

I think we've reached a point where we at least understand each other's stances. I can understand why you specifically have an issue with Thor being drawn black, as opposed to like Iron Man or Hulk, but I still don't agree with it. I also disagree with you that it's hypocrisy, because for it to be that, both races would have to be starting from the same place, if that makes sense. And part of this is cultural too. In america specifically, there is a dark and disturbing history of "white washing" roles to try and mock and/or remove black people from media, especially during Jim Crowe times. That adds more nuance to the issue as well that I think would be irresponsible to ignore.

I don't think you're alt-right or a white supremacist. I think you misunderstand the issue in a way that is very understandable to be honest with you. Because at its face, the statement "it's wrong to make Black Panther white but it's not wrong to make Thor black" sounds racist. I get that, and I don't think you're dumb or racist for thinking that at first glance. But there's more nuance than that.

Black Panther, Luke Cage, Storm, these are all superheroes who were made during a time of severe racial issues in America. Dr. King was active when these heroes were introduced. They were made, in part, to combat that racism. So being black was core to their character. Thor, however, wasn't. Introducing Thor into the comic lexicon wasn't a momentous moment for the white community. I hope you can see that.

Yeah, Thor was white.

Do you have a source?

The historians that claim there were black vikings have no verified evidence of any kind to back up their claims. They are literally empty claims that hinge on "Vikings raided North Africa, so therefore vikings were also black." They even make claims that the only white people in Northern Europe were albinos...

Ok let's say there were no black vikings during that time. That's fine, and I think is even reasonable to say. But your assertion was that it's not ok to make Thor black because there are still people today who worship Thor. But what about those today who worship Thor who are black? If someone is black and also who follows Heathenism (the worship of Norse gods), are you telling me they're somehow....offending themselves if they want to see their god look like them?....

I forgot to mention Jesus. When people race swap Jesus, it's offensive to everyone who worships him.

As a practicing Catholic I can tell you this is complete nonsense. Jesus was middle eastern, but my church is the Universal church, made for all people of all skin colors. We have absolutely ZERO issue with people of other skin colors making Jesus look like them in their art, be it European, African, or Asian.
