Okay but imagine Vincent just glitching all the time.
*re-reads my own story*: this is some good stuff
*gets to the part where I stopped writing*: WHERE'S THE REST OF IT HOW DO I GET MORE
Brain: You're the author, if you want more you have to write it
Me: *flips tables*
Legit me
There's definitely nothing wrong with "female character stands up to misogyny" stories and they can be really empowering but I personally would love to see more SFF, especially high fantasy, where misogyny just doesn't exist and never did.
There's something really refreshing about seeing women having agency and kicking ass and there never being any question by anyone that they could. I wish there was more of that
i be like “writing isn’t my passion” but then proceed to spend every waking hour and even the occasional dream thinking abt a new plot or concept, read essays and the journals of popular authors, literally consume any written material available to me, once stayed up until 2 am three nights in a row to work on a draft that has never seen the light of day, and spend nearly every second of my free time plotting, planning, or writing fics & then tell everyone it’s just a hobby to me

I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about this show???? It is a genuinely great show that deals with important social issues unlike any other show I’ve ever seen.
The majority of the shows main characters are Cuban, that’s right, almost entirely PoC. There is one only white main-ish character.
It deals with mental illness. The mother suffers from PTSD after serving in the army. She is never belittled or made to seem weak. She is a strong woman who is portrayed as more than her illness. The show even shows her taking the steps she needs to help herself.
One of the main characters is a feminist teenage lesbian.
Once she comes out her whole family supports her. Her mother struggles to come to terms with it but never lets her daughter know, instead she educates herself and eventually fully accepts it. Her grandmother, a devout christian, struggles as well for all of 20 seconds before she destroys the argument that being gay goes against god in a few short sentences
The white character is a rich white straight dude but is also a nice guy. Not a Nice Guy™ but an actual nice guy. He sometimes says/does racist and sexist things but is quickly corrected by either himself or other characters.
The show also deals with issues like illegal and legal immigration, racism and sexism.
In short, this show is sent from fucking heaven and idk why more people aren’t talking about it. Go watch it
The reader: I can’t wait to find out what happens next!
The writer: neither can I, my friend. Neither can I
