Pansexuals constantly get ignored and are most people seem to think they probably don’t exist. Therefore pansexuals are crypdits Reblog if you’re a pansexual cryptid or support pansexual cryptids.
Honestly, I think the whole “don’t pay the writers” thing boils down to the notion that everybody thinks they can write. It’s the old saw about the novelist at a cocktail party having to hear someone say, for the millionth time, “I’d love to write a book someday.”
Someone–Stephen King? Pretty sure I saw this in a Stephen King foreword–once said they’d like to say to a brain surgeon, “Boy, I’d love to do brain surgery someday.”
We treat “the ability to put words into a sentence” like it’s just the same as “the ability to form a coherent narrative that engenders a variety of emotions within the reader and puts them in a scene and shows them what they didn’t see before”.
And that’s like me drawing a stick figure and saying I’m an artist.
Writers are constantly devalued because everyone thinks they have a book in them and don’t realize the level of skill and commitment it takes to finish even a short story, much less a whole book.
This goes well beyond fandom, but man, I would’ve hoped fandom would know better.
and i know this is a really exciting day for some people and i’m happy for you and i wish you a good valentines day
but there are people who aren’t surrounded by the love they deserve and valentines day doesn’t help soothe that feeling, i know that, it’s not fair and i’m sorry
if no one tells you this on valentines day
you’re beautiful
you’re amazing
you’re going to be okay
i love you
either side you’re on this valentines day i hope you have a great valentines day!
