    Your response to injustice

    That sounds like the person in the example is just severely mentally ill. I've also had a rough childhood, and yook revenge. Yeah I had a short period where I lashed out at anyone and anything that resembled the ones who hurt me, but I adapted. Part of becoming a better person is learning to...

    Your response to injustice

    Really needed that in the header. It's not even a choice at this point, she needs the cure. Life cannot go on while in perpetual pain.

    Your response to injustice

    Retribution, if they're allowed to go free, they'll target her again, or someone else will do so. If she's a repeat victim, it's not a question of if it will happen again, but when. Through retribution she can find a new way of dealing with her problems. I'd personally advocate for unlisted...

    Are AMVs still a thing?

    I don't believe AMV's are dead, just far less popular. Tik-tok and V-tubers are just far more accessible and overshadow them.

    Need help on making a prideful, vulgar, shit-talking MC likable

    If he has any principles, make him fight an enemy that causes him to want them to succeed. Use his willingness to heal his enemies as an excuse for him to feel something for the enemy and take them under his wing. Can't do it too early, otherwise it looks oike you're trying to tell the readers...

    Writing 1st person writing

    How do I reduce the use of the word "I"? When reading my own work it always sounds so repetitive. ? -Upon waking up there was much for me to do. Sweeping the floor, tidying my bed, dusting the corners. I'm always strapped for time and sometimes have to skip breakfast. The rumbles in my tum tum...

    What's love?

    Alittle ominous there. Almost sounds like it's saying that in order to love you must ignore the bad things, not learn from your experiences and keep quiet when something happens

    What do you think about when doing mindless work?

    If it's around the house, put on a podcast. If it's at work, think about ero scenes and character motivation.

    Morality vs Survival

    Morality is mental gymanistics for the wealthy. When desperation sets in, most people will do things that could be considered morally repugnant. Nomadic tribes used to cull anyone who was too old, too weak, or too stupid. They weren't bad people, it was what had to be done. For even more...

    Is there such thing as too many cliffhangers?

    Cliffhangers are one of those things every author should endeavor to have as few of as possible. They artificially create suspense for the reader, instead of creating an engaging story that makes people want to come back. It teaches mediocrity to the author, and poisons the mind of the reader...

    How do you gain motivation? (Serious answer pls?)

    Focus on what you want. Having abstract ideas of what you want in life is a horrible way to maintain a goal. Set strict deadlines for yourself and keep some minor stimulus to keep your mind fresh. The biggest part about 'motivation', is that it's almost entirely habit. I don't look forward to or...

    Is going back in time and liking your lover's past self liking a different person?

    No, because that concept of love is too constrained. People shift views and lifepaths constantly over their life. In my teens I was weak and effeminate. In my early twenties I was aggressive and spiteful, currently I'm trying to be reflective and more hesitant. My friend who has loved me...

    Regarding modern technology (computers, robotics and suits, etc.) in an advanced Science-Fantasy Isekai?

    While that's a cool individual example, the mage is still screwed. He can outwit the guards on e or twice, but he's outclassed in nearly everyway. I don't know what type of mage system is being implemented in your example, but assuming it's one that takes years to learn/master, said water-mage...

    Regarding modern technology (computers, robotics and suits, etc.) in an advanced Science-Fantasy Isekai?

    Thing is, the mages would have to have been weak enough to allow guns/technology to advance. A civilization advancing poses an existential threat to every mage and any power structure they've built/assimilated into. If the mages were versatile enough to stop bullets with any amount of ease...

    Regarding modern technology (computers, robotics and suits, etc.) in an advanced Science-Fantasy Isekai?

    Magic has to have an absurd power ceiling to justify anyone using it. Guns invalidate most forms of magic, as a mage who's spent decades to learn how to multi-cast/silent cast and use earth shattering spells. Can just get insta-killed by some random bloke. Mages would have to be a very small but...

    This has been brewing in my thoughts for the last few days. So, Yang is supposed to represent the feminine and chaotic. Star wars treats it as if it's inherently evil, and ruins everything that even dabbles in it. The entire series is about purging the feminine. ?

    The dark side and light side are complicated. They're basically the concept of yin&yang, yet in the star wars universe, they attempt to completely remove the yang. The Jedi are flawed from inception and are unlikely to do any good for anyone. It's a cult of fanatics who don't reproduce, abduct...
