Hey y'all. I could do Twitter, but I think I'd rather vibe with people I know here. If that's against any rules or kinda narcissistic, please lemme know and I'll stick to AMA's but I'm happy to vibe with folks if that's what they want to do.

Currently I'm watching The Mitchells vs the Machines and here's the high thought I just had:

MvM’s about hurt people trying to be understood That the dad did care he just didn’t know what he was doing Hurt People Hurt People His art wasn’t validated and he was hurt by capitalism.

I'll continue to tweet here and if people want creative ideas or education/writing advice, feel free to dm me or post here. I'm just going to write the thoughts I have as I have them unless some wants to chat.

      On the contrary. I inadvertently realized I had a deep affinity for seagulls after taking some edibles and thinking another underscore bird would be a funny bit. Thank you!

          Somebody opens a trench coat and unclasps you from an inside pocket and holds you out to somebody.

          "hey kid, wanna buy a theory bird?"

      I've not. I only ever do fiction and nonfiction. I think I'm unpacking childhood issues of realizing I am persuasive and just grew up around people who had severe mental illness.

        A shame. I've spent a lot of time actively trying to distil the online lib to leftist pipeline down to a set of repeatable steps and I like to think I have gotten rather good at it. With that said there is no doubt in my mind that being a better writer would help, I do not however know where to even begin with it.

          That's a his point. And as someone who studied written composition, even those writers don't know where to start. It's like an academic Blindspot. It's so much boring rules without humanity.

    If you're having writers block or whatever, pitch it to me and I'd be happy to offer an in-story solution. Like working with the worldbuilding or finding a theme you didn't realize you were writing.

    Just finished Mitchells vs the Machines. It was all right. But something I'm still thinking on. And I'm also working on some writing developments.

        Yeah. It's got a lot of flaws like not examining why the family issues were there. Doesn't have to be overt about the harm of capitalism, but the dad just apologizing and examining why he didn't have the time or energy to be emotionally present. If he could've kept the hobby of woodworking, his passion he wouldn't have been so unintentionally harmful to his daughter.

    I thought this thread was going to be like a role play of an actual attention-seeking seagull. So like just going "CAW CAW FEED ME CAW CAW" :bird-screm-2:

      I could only do so many puns at once, but the thought did cross my mind. If I do future threads like this, I might call them my Weekly Squawks.
