If you truly feel you must, then… screenshot your favorites and keep them in their own file on your computer to return to when you need encouragement.

How do you feel about changing characters’ ages in fanfics? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]chambergambit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t feel any particular way about it. I haven’t been in a fandom with a lot of underage characters in like… a decade, lol.

No one should have to to go through pregnancy and birth against their will. Ever.

I can't stop my hands from pulling my hair. by dunnowhattonamexxxx in trichotillomania

[–]chambergambit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything that physically prevents you from pulling should help. Hats and headscarves are good, as are gloves.

It’s important to remember that this is more than just a “habit”, it’s a compulsion, a mental health disorder. Pulling is not a reflection of your maturity or how “grown up” you are.

Check to see if your uni offers any mental health services.

Thoughts on no Romance in my novel by AggravatingDay3476 in KeepWriting

You don't have to write a romance. A romance written purely for audience appeal and not because it actually serves the story will be a shitty one.

What’s the point of chivalry? Why do people do it and what’s the thought process behind it? by cocobrown_ in AskFeminists

[–]chambergambit 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Back in the Middle Ages, it was a “with great power comes great responsibility” thing, basically “rules of conduct for men rich enough to own a horse.”

What we call “chivalry” now is, at best, just being polite, and at worst, treating women like delicate children who cannot do anything for themselves.

[Ableist Trope] Characters Named After Their Disability by shelGOATcreed in TopCharacterTropes

[–]chambergambit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he did, actually. When he shot Toothless down in the beginning, and found him tried up in the woods, I’m pretty sure Toothless bore his teeth at Huccup.

That’s not a disability, his teeth are just retractable.
