That Post That's Like "stop Writing Characters Who Talk Like They're Trying To Get A Good Grade In Therapy"

That post that's like "stop writing characters who talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy" really blew the door wide open for me about how common it's become for a character's emotional intelligence to not be taken into consideration when writing conflict. I remember the first time I went to therapy I had such a hard time even identifying what I was feeling, let alone had the language to explain it to someone else. Of course there are plenty of people who've never been to therapy a day in their life who are in tune to their emotions. But even they would have some trouble expressing themselves sometimes. You have to take into account there are plenty of people who are uncomfortable expressing themselves and people who think they're not allowed to feel certain ways. It also makes for more interesting conflict to have characters with different levels of understanding.

i have no object permanence about myself. if i’m not in anyones eye sight i assume i have ceased to be. finding out people remember i exist, think about me, and even talk about me when i’m not actively in front of them is startling news every time it is brought to my attention

I’ll say something funny when I remember to comeback on my laptop & out of class🥰

(I say like, Y’know, a liar)

Living for Chaotic teen Crewel tho. Menace behavior through and through

So we’ve been laughing about crewel being a problem student and making Trien wonder what he did in a past life to deserve this- only for him to return as a teacher-

Imagine how smug Trien was when Crewel got the shared braincell duo-

Crewel: they never listen!!! They never follow basic instructions even ones I made to keep them safe! What the hell is their problem?!?

Trien: *sipping his tea like that Kermit meme*

You know what they say, What you did as a kid youre going to get back with your own. Case and point: Crewel and his homeroom.

Over the past 16 years, Crewel has forgotton how bad he was as at that age. "Oh come on. I know I was energetic, but I wasn't nearly as bad."

Trein:

You were an actual demon from the fiery pits. We have new rules and regulation that are still in place because of you.

It's so important to remember that tumblr is bad. Has been bad. And will likely remain bad for the foreseeable future. And that is vital to our survival. If Tumblr was a good website that worked, it would get turned into a corporate hellscape like every other site. It's so important that Tumblr is broken and poorly run and impossible to effectively navigate. It's all that's keeping us safe.

For those who don’t know (like me):

Apparently most of the scarabs are underground- which is accessible via the Golden Slumber world quest-

POV: Cyno havers right now (me)

Finding scarabs for cyno is harder than finding onikabutos for heizou i swear

A whole new level of pain TT
