The only advice I can give is to stop trying to win because there is no winning with assholes. As long as you do you, not letting them steal more of your life than they could ever be worth, everything you create that pisses them off is a bigger, better slap to the face than arguing with them in earnest. (It’s why I only argue with them for fun).
Reblog this on the first of the month for good luck all month long!
Sometimes you have a wonderful, amazing, intricate, all-encompassing story idea, you want to find an agent or a publisher, and sit down and write forever, and sometimes you wonder if it’s all just a case of a knife to the brain…
Being treated as disposable at work, by the system in general, but also by one unmannerly twit in particular who decided long ago she’s better than me. I’ve reached my limit. And I have many large books to read.
Today is @winglesselgniw‘s birthday yay! This is her birthday present.
Aerith is one of my most favorite female characters ever. She is both strong and feminine which is a really rare case. It’s something about her being cheerful, positive but also serious and caring at the same time. She is very well-written too. I know very few people who doesn’t like her.
Sephiroth is probably the best example of a degrading character. He start as a hero, loved and respected by everyone, but the drama is that crowd is faceless. He is born to be a Shin-ra tool and whoever show him attention is rather afraid of his strengh or glovel before his glory. The last person treating him other way was Genesis aaand yeah, we seen that scene inside of Nibel eactor. From that day his downfall starts. He reach the bottom somewhat near AC events when he’s nothing but filthy shade of his past, eagerly seeking for Cloud’s hatered and it sounds like a desperate need for any attention. He’s afraid of becoming only a memory, but he will and even a memory will fade in time. Aerith on the other hand is doing her best at understanding people around. I bet that wasn’t easy with her childhood in the labs and weird voices she heard, but the way she treat everyone perfectly shows us why slum people accepted her. Although it is a little bit easier making friends when you’re not a War machine celebrity, Aerith did everything to be memorized by every person she met. This is why she won’t be just a bad memory everyone want to forget. I think, deep inside Aerith can’t hate Sephiroth. She pity him.
Both Aerith and Sephiroth wanted to be “just a common person” with a simple life, loyal friends, someone who would see them as a person, not an Ancient or a perfect Soldier. It’s just their life choises led them to opposite ends.
