My advice when folks are struggling with writing in the third-person omniscient is to Lemony Snicket it up. Give your omniscient narrator strong opinions about what’s going on. Don’t fall into the trap of assuming that the third-person omniscient perspective must also use the objective voice; those are two separate things, and many of the most popular and successful writers who’ve written in the third-person omniscient do not, in fact, use the objective voice.

Afraid to use your forearms? You’re not using enough elbow. Guys, those aren’t the parts people feature when they dance.

“In nearly every major city and most small towns, there are anarchists, or people with unlabeled anarchist values, plotting ways to create space for our radical projects promoting positive freedom. In most cities, our efforts are duly encumbered with the toil of filling in the abyss of gaps in state services: from Food Not Bombs to refugee squats. Our ethos is one of responding directly and with accountability to need. After all, supporting people to live in spite of the violence of the state and mega-corporations is a project of positive freedom. Yet we also dream and whisper and fight and fuck and love in a myriad of other ways as well. In times of great repression, looming fascist creep, and ecological disaster, the ever-present sense of capitalist alienation can run deeper. It can go so far as to crowbar apart the relationships we do have with outbursts of trauma, fear, depression, anxiety, exhaustion, and paranoia and the collective impact of things like trials and incarceration. I’ve spent long depressive bouts feeling as though I couldn’t talk to my friends and I drifted farther from my support and as well from my networked potential to make trouble and freedom. And yet for others still, they aren’t in a big city with a dozen public-facing projects to slowly build trust and plug into. They’re in a small town where the only other person with possibly similar values to them is a type of person the city punk would scarcely recognize as “radical”. In small towns, organizing has to happen differently and you can’t afford to be so picky about matching up niche sub-identities with your friends. You are forced to find the good in different kinds of people and maintain those relationships more deeply than the Tinder-style networking of big city radicalism. But despite these phenomena that some may see as limitations, even in the small towns, anarchists and those in our affinity, find resonance big and small. Even if just in little comments about the shared working-class resentment of cruel bosses or backcountry troublemaking while fleeing the authorities.”

Ok I know this is breaking the chain but, FINAFUCKINGLY gods its about time.
A 14-year-old transgender boy has the capacity to consent to his own medical treatments and should be allowed to proceed with hormone injections to help transition from a female to a male body without delay, a B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled.
The teenager, who can be identified only as “A.B.,” has been at the centre of a complicated legal fight that raised questions about parental rights and child autonomy. His parents are separated and have joint custody.
While the boy and his mother were prepared to begin testosterone injections last summer, his father objected, citing the need for more time to examine the implications of such a move.
But in a written decision released Wednesday, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Gregory Bowden said he was satisfied A.B. understood the benefits and risks of treatment and that postponing treatment further could result in A.B. — who had previously attempted suicide — trying to harm himself again.
“The totality of the evidence regarding A.B.’s medical needs … leads me to conclude that his hormone treatment should not be delayed further,” the judge wrote.
“While A.B.’s father does not consent to the treatment, I am satisfied that A.B.’s consent is sufficient for the treatment to proceed.”

(Talking about ops opinion) While this is very true. It's also very sad to still see a vast majority of opinions like this on topics because, while its very obvious they won’t go away they should a least be the minority of opinions on topics like these. Weather or not people realize it or not opinions like this kill people (Mostly women) because its telling people they don’t deserve brakes, or sick days etc. ect.. It’s also telling women that there hideous and ugly without makeup and that they have to wear makeup.
“Nobody should be required to use beauty products to look professional!” Ok, Susan. Next time you go to a restaurant you tell me you don’t mind that the waitress who has the flu serves you food while looking into her sweaty face and at her red, swollen nose. Next time you go in for surgery have a talk with the surgeon who has bags under their eyes and looks like they’re on hardcore drugs due to their dry, split lips and irritated skin and tell me it’s not bothering you. Let’s be honest - none of us wants these illusions destroyed.
The whole “the bard seduces the dragon” thing is only implausible if you’re assuming that all dragons are wise and powerful ancient wyrms.
This ain’t necessarily the case: D&D dragons have age categories.
Maybe that dragon is only two hundred years old – which is the equivalent of like twentysomething in human terms – and therefore makes bad life decisions.
Maybe your bard can be one of those bad life decisions.
I love how with Disney villains their songs are usually either “glorified soliloquies about their plans” or “trying to make a deal with the protagonist” but Gaston’s song is literally the whole town trying to raise his shattered ego after he got rejected from a marriage proposal given to the one woman in town that would quite obviously turn him down.
No matter you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, queer, asexual, or other LGBT+, we are pride.
Okay, finished ! I did rush it, and I read quickly when I love a story. So now... I think I will ask some things to the characters. Not to many of course, I know it's hard work to you. But you are really doing great. Of course there are some flaws, but your characters are human and each of them have their own personality. I've got some troubles with Peter being this idiot, but that's mainly it. And I love Barty, very very much.
((OOC: Aww thank you! I also love him very very much 😍))
I guess I'm getting to James first, for he really annoys me. He's a bully, and he did really awful things when he and Reg weren't together. I hope he'll grow up. It doesn't mean I don't think he's a good friend with great potential as an adult. You portray him well. So James, why did you think it was okay to kinda harass Reg with messages about how horny and in love you are ? Do you know not everything is about sex ? And... Can't you JUST ask yourself if you're not responsible for Lily's depart?
((OOC: Again, thank you!! 😊))
James: I was an idiot. I know I was an idiot. I can’t change what I did and how I acted, but all I can try to do is make up for it now, which is what I’m trying to do.
James: And MAYBE I’ve been a bit lazy with my head boy duties, but it’s not my fault. Lily should have specifically told me if she wanted me to do some work…
I Hear That’s Good
Sirius you should serenade Remus
Sirius: I’m more of a poet than a singer. But I guess I could romantically recite my own poems to him?
If the Dark Lord isn't "up to the task" do you go to hubby Lestrange or not even then?
Bellatrix: I haven’t slept with Rodolphus since… well… huh… I think… hmm…
Rodolphus: *Unamused* Not since our wedding night.
Bellatrix: Ha! It’s really been that long!
Rodolphus: *Glares*
so how was the cuddle, bantonin?
Antonin: Not fucking long enough. Madame Pomfrey kicked him out the hospital wing.
Barty: But it was cute till then!
Antonin: Why is everything always fucking “cute” to you?
Barty: BECAUSE IT WAS!!!!!
I’m sorry you have to deal with that Barty. If you ever need to talk I’ll be ready with a mug of hot chocolate with the works. If you want I really don’t mind hexing him. - A kind fourth year Gryffindor *hugs Barty*
Barty: That’s really sweet of you, thank you. But you know if you hexed him he’d probably arrest you. But it’s the thought that counts. Thanks. *Hugs*
how's your hand, antonin?
Antonin: It’s fine, but if any of the professors ask, it’s so fucking painful I can’t write for at least a week. Yeah?
I would kind of love to see the Slytherins (like Barty and Regs dorm) in first year 😂
((OOC: Well, not to self-promote but I will anyway, my other blog @regulusblacksdiary is following the Reg from this blog from when he was a child all the way up to… well… now lol. So you’ll get to see it from his point of view when he starts Hogwarts and I promise it’ll be so smol hfhd))
