Concept: Baba Yaga, except instead of a scary cannibal grandma she’s a smirking vodka aunt (vodka great-aunt?) who freely hands out apparently sound – albeit often slightly self-destructive – advice, and it’s not until much later that the implications of the advice she’s given you finally click and you’re like OH GOD DAMMIT.
holy coke :3
Happy December from Hiro and Baymax! (x)
Yeah, same.
I just want you all to know, that if and when this site does experience a real exodus and/or get sunsetted for good, even if we don't keep in touch I'll remember you so fondly. You're the online equivalent of the other kid on the beach where we built sandcastles together; the girl at the campsite where we explored the trees. You're the man next to me on the train who chatted cheerfully to pass the time when we got delayed. You're the drunk person who shared kind words in the bathroom at the club, you're the talented artists at the life drawing class or the poetry night in a city where I don't live anymore. It makes me sad that maybe in the future our paths won't cross so easily, but even when we leave this little shared piece of cyberspace, carried away on our briefly intersecting trajectories, just know I still love you

Power comes with responsibility. The more power a character has, the more they are defined and confined by it. The fewer choices they will have. The easier it is for their actions to have massive, widespread unintended consequences continuously rippling outward. When they make a mistake, they will hurt more people than just themselves. More you have, the more cautious you have to be. The more you have to give up, the more you have to sacrifice, because circumstances outside of your control have decided you will not be like other men/women. That’s just a fact of life. You can say “But I don’t want it”. Well, tough. Suck it up. Deal with it or deal with the consequences.

As usual, the mods of howtofightwrite nail the importance of power in character development to the effing wall, paint a gd dartboard on it, and proceed to stick only bullseyes. Hats off to them.
