Celestial Whale🐋🤍🌠 Commission for @omniiac! I'm loving designing these! So many nice ideas to work with
I think that one thing people fail to understand is that unsolicited literary criticism coming from an online stranger who is reading with no knowledge of what the authors intended goal is, is not going to be received the same as say: the authors beta reader or friends who know what the authors intended goal and has the sufficient knowledge and input to help the author reach that desired outcome.
"But I'm only trying to be helpful" How do I know you have the knowledge and literary skill for you to be able to actaully do that when we don't know each other and you are essentially a stranger to me? Are you applying this criticism based out of personal biased experience and desire to see the story or characterization be driven in another direction or tweaked, or do you know the author's intentions for the character? If the story is incomplete, are you basing your criticism of a character on the incomplete narration with only partial information available of them or are you building up a report until the story's completion? Did the author provide you with the information needed to make a fully informed criticism?
Have you discussed with the author what their plans are or are you assuming them based off the narration, especially if the narration is proven or implied to be unreliable or missing key points of the plot? Are you unbiased enough to help them reach their desired outcome for the characters and story regardless of your personal feelings towards the characters/antagonists and setting? Can you handle being told your specific input isn't wanted because you're a reader and/or have no written anything relating to their genre or topic? Do you understand and respect that the author's personal experiences might influence their writing and make it different than how you would have done it personally? Do you understand if an author only wants input from a specific demographic relating to their story?
If it's for fanfiction or other hobby media, are you holding a free hobby to a professional standard? Are you trying to give criticism because you feel like the author has produced 'subpar job performance' of their fic? Are you viewing their work as a personal intimate outlet or something that must conform with mass media? Are you applying rules and guidelines when the fic is shared for simple sharing sake? Is your criticism worded appropriately and focused on the parts where the author has requested input on rather than a general dismissal and or disapproval?
Have you put yourself in a place where you assumed you have the input needed for the story to evolve better, or have you asked what the author needs and what they're having trouble with? Can you handle having your criticism rejected if the author decides their story doesn't need the change and not take it as a personal offense against your character? Are you crossing that boundary because you think you are doing the author a favor? Are you trying to be helpful, or do you just want to be?
I think sometimes when people hear authors go 'please don't give me unsolicited writing advice or criticism' they automatically chalk it up to 'this author doesn't want ANY constructive feedback on their stuff at all' and not "i already have trusted individuals who will help me with my writing goals and- hey i don't know you like that, please stop acting so overly familiar with me'
Funnily enough I do have a nugget OC who’s a blood fiend, except she knows she is one and mlems the blood in secret. Tries her best to hide it only to learn her circle of friends is perfectly fine with it
everyone: Your a bloodfiend!!??
The scoundrel: im a what now?
it would be SO funny if they didn't know. an ordeal ends and there's blood splattered all over the hallway and as soon as everyone else walks out of the room they black out and wake up 2 hours later having mlemed up all of it. and then someone else walks back in and they're like dude how the hell did you clean so fast. and the scoundrel's like well obviously im Just That Good (they have no fucking idea)
A twitter mutual asked people to draw Ayin, so I kinda went overboard lol whoops.
Story time with Abnormality Dad! I know Road Home and Servant aren't in LobCorp, but let him have more kids, okay? I love the relationship potential he has with all of the little critters in the facility, and I tend to write him a little like Laios Dunmeshi in that sense of fascination with them. Less 'eating' though, but more that general hyperfixated adoration and interest. Even if most of them could kill him. And some of them probably have, looking at you [CENSORED]. But in the meantime he's gonna just read stories to the little ones.
(I love Punishing Bird, so he's here too.)
