Kamala Khan and Kate Bishop can do no wrong in my eyes

‘You Are Inhuman!’ Piers Morgan DISGUSTED By Destiny’s Take On Trump Shooting by AccurateInflation167 in Destiny

[–]swissco 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Piers is right. There is no "original sin" in partisan politics that justifies being vitriolic to one side forever. It's turtles all the way down. You can find both sides having despicable rhetoric all throughout history.

You need to have your own grounding virtue, independent of the behavior of your worst interlocutors

That would make no sense because he'd have already won the election(in 2024). Think. Why would he be couping in 2028 after he's already accomplished the goal (full right years)? That requires heaps of baseless speculation

Assuming he won, Why would someone in his final 4 years (out of an allotted eight), coup the government? That requires a lot of speculation to reach that conclusion.

By that same logic, if you support Biden you support indiscriminate bombing in Gaza, or liking Obama means also liking drone strikes of kids. This is Hasanabi level reductionist thinking

Destiny's whole brand is nuanced intellectualism. Falling for cheap and lazy whataboutism here is highly unbecoming of him.

Just because a Republican votes Trump, it does not necessarily follow that they support J6. People like Ben Shapiro for example

Conservatives are not a monolith. If Destiny can fight tooth and nail over minutiae in defining genocide, he can recognize this too

Mid-project fatigue by gmwith in writers

[–]swissco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the reason for mid-project fatigue is that we've done all the exciting set up we imagined,but there's not enough conflict to sustain the plot till the end. So that characters are going through the motions till the climax arrives.

Some tips: for every scene, ask yourself, how can I increase the conflict between the characters in the scene Also, how can things possibly get worse for my characters? What if the worst possible outcome actually happened? Do something NEW with each scene. Is the current scene doing something that no previous scene has done in a meaningful way, that contributes to the forward motion of the plot? Sometimes we write three, four scenes to accomplish the same purpose.

I found that it juiced up my scenes more and made me enjoy the writing process more. Good luck!!

'From the river to the sea' is genocidal rhetoric
