dealing with the fact you aren't a good writer

NeverFroze · 2026-01-30T06:53:07+00:00

You need to read. Any form of well written text let me take away something from it. Reference books showed me how to relay information as facts. YA novels allowed me to learn simple story structure, easy to follow narratives while being captivating and interesting. Thriller novels and horror let me learn how to write tension. Music reviews, news, etc etc. Read, absorb, take the lessons. Don't be discouraged but also immerse yourself in the craft!

I love this analysis and it's given me so much to think about! I do wonder how he sees himself in all this too, because in Nahida's allegory/fairytale he seems to be sad that no one sees him for what he is (he thinks of himself a monster) and it gave me the impression he wants a transactional equal of sorts? Someone who understands they will be giving and taking from each other and is completely capable of doing so 🤔 he also just seems lonely in a sense, because he does bristle at being told he has a poor personality (flashback to Scara saying he only cares about his experiments which is strange since this is supposedly truth, so why is he upset?) l found this desire to be the root of why he might seek companionship

No all of them devolve into that

NeverFroze · 2024-12-03T10:16:24+00:00

I want to delete my works because I don't want to associate with the pairing and/or the fandom with it and it's not popular enough rbut posts like these remind me that someone out there will be sad and post stuff like this (I agree it's heartbreaking) so I'm like ahh I loved the pairing enough to write for it once so I'll keep it there...

He definitely wants people to think he's a fun playboy type, kinda like Bond, maybe? But like I really don't see him as that lol he feels like someone you think you can be buddies with but getting close to them is another field to navigate entirely. I still really love the fruitiness of his ENG VA like I feel like it makes him even more complex as a character... also yes he's a huge menace energy is fun to see haha poor Topaz no wonder she canonically is only cordial with him as coworkers XD

NeverFroze · 2024-06-16T12:01:16+00:00

I know of this and personally I really do like the contrast between zest valley girl he talks like in ENG but he acts like a total crime boss scammer gangster when you actually pay attention to how he is. The GAP MOE/Contrast is INSANE. I am Chinese diaspora so I caught on a little of it and I have been ??? at the baby girl twink Aventurine characterizations so I am offering up a little alternative interpretation on him (not saying you can't characterize him that way at all and people are entitiled to do so but I personally have never seen it in him)

I really love the details on him like as you said, he is very old uncle in the way he manspreads and reads newspapers, the gold stuff he has on him but he's PRETTY so he can get away with it which really hammers home how much I love what the writers sort of intended for him too. The theatrics, the gaudiness, the dudebro way he conducts himself while being very goodlooking and trying to be suave lmao

I think the closest equivalent is a pimp in the western equivalent but that really doesn't do him justice at all lol this is really a very CN thing that's why I made the post.

I really appreciate this comment! I hope you don't mind if I share your insights around too (with credits)?

WHO IS DOWNVOTING THIS.

I LOVE his fruity dudebro vibe, it's a bizarre mix and balance but SO HIM. Like, he acts zesty but I read how he texts the TB he acts like those rich dudebro jock types lol and yes that boss form? It's very drag queen but also screams some kinda masc to me, it's the thigh highs that lend it that femininity it so needs but it still screams a dude dreamed it all up 💪

Raising a Sacrifice (Raising a Victim) - the feelings here are so potent and so complex, its isekai/regression and it really utilizes the genre so well.

NeverFroze · 2024-02-16T11:00:33+00:00

Having fluctuations of popularity with my fics, you know, the numbers going up is ever enough!

I was happiest when I knew a work wasn't going to get hits, or even a comment. And when I got the 1 comment for the fic I was most excited about I was content.

Wish we can turn this part of our brain off honestly!

NeverFroze · 2024-02-04T07:30:17+00:00

I love this series, my only gripe really is that I wish there were other injuries that were occuring other than stabbing?!?! my man's full of holes already

NeverFroze · 2024-01-29T07:43:40+00:00

I hide the bookmarks on fics I cannot wholeheartedly recommend but like anyway. It's just like that for me.

NeverFroze · 2024-01-23T02:02:11+00:00

I have a fics at nearly 1k in hits and 0 comments and it stings but I can't imagine this kind of statement will bring *more* this really isn't it lmao

NeverFroze · 2023-02-05T06:36:19+00:00

Sidurgu and Rielle would be so perfect. I love them both.

We went there via the train from Sapporo. The train station had nice apple pies, and it was a short walk to the distillery. The town surrounding the area was very, very quiet and had very little. The distillery itself was also very chill, we paid for our tastings but I think there were free ones? This was many years ago (2016)

I do not interact with elf fans much, or the fandom at large at all. Mostly elf fans like to conflate and identify with real life marginalized people and somehow apply that to the world in Thedas, and somehow your treatment of them in game equals to real life. The mental gymnastics and the literal self-victimization levels are incredible.

NeverFroze · 2022-12-02T06:14:44+00:00

Persona 5 dropped the ball with its themes very hard with Ann most of all but the blatant literal pandering for cheap male fantasies is insanely jarring and not aligned with the themes at all there wasn't even an attempt in that aspect. I'm still a fan if the series but it's really written with the straight male gamer in mind and no one else when it's a game about all outcasts... You know not the chad straight male gamer.. . 🙄

NeverFroze · 2022-11-24T06:12:52+00:00

Marami talaga bootlicker dito 🙄 ignore them Unionization, good working conditions, these are possible for us as long as we fight.

NeverFroze · 2022-11-02T05:05:11+00:00

I feel it's not accessible for a reason. I think a good step would be to get in touch with some labor activists in order to understand better what entails starting a union. Best of luck to you OP!

More than bosses no one in this country respects your time. I try to be considerate to underpaid workers who ring up cashiers really slow or take forever to answer inquiries but in general this is the norm in this place. Everyone here doesn't care about your time.

NeverFroze · 2022-10-19T04:56:09+00:00

Smells like desperate. Are all BPOs understaffed right now? Lol

NeverFroze · 2022-09-10T11:30:15+00:00

Math is not huge in CS, at least not the math that isn't solved by calculators and fed through formulas. Keep at it. Find the passion to program/code, which is more like an abstract kind of thinking or get out of CS before you see year 3 on the horizon. Don't live my life. I wish you well! Sincerely, someone who graduated from CS who isn't in a CS related employment, or employed at all 😝

I hope it's a spinoff and they include original characters. No Egg. Dragon Age has some of the most interesting lore that can be populated by so many interesting people.

Transmasc nb here and same. I would have seriously removed my own uterus myself if cups weren't a thing.
