I know I say that I’m kinda nuts for doing the amount of visual research I do, but at the same time:

Specificity is SO much more compelling and real feeling, and imo not getting references often makes things look more amateur.

Eg. drawing a sofa- my mental image of a sofa is something like this:

Like. Its a sofa. It works. But it’s not very convincing, the pillows are kinda wrong at the back, and it’s not really giving any information about the owner.

Even if you want a basic sofa…
What kind of basic.

comfy and cheap?

kinda rigid?

inherited?
——

who does this comfy cheap ikea sofa belong to anyway?

guy living alone?

teenage girl?

Grandma?

Anyway I’ll get off my soapbox but specificity is sexy and fun and it can do your storytelling for you!

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing
and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up. 

What is the most important step a man can take?

The next.

I think part of the pushback about this is the idea that, to “redeem” bad people, their victims must first forgive them for unforgivable acts.

This is false. No one is obligated to forgive you. You can learn from your mistakes and become the best, kindest person on earth, and the people you’ve hurt still won’t forgive you, and you’ll have to accept that. And that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to grow. Because we aren’t just “pure” or “sinful”, we’re complex.

you don’t “hate kids,” you hate being forced into a caretaking role.

you don’t “hate kids,” you hate censorship passed off as family values.

you don’t “hate kids,” you hate the constrictiveness of the nuclear family.

you don’t “hate kids,” you’re just not used to occupying fully age diverse spaces so you’re not used to the noise or the many different kinds of needs.

you don’t “hate kids,” most public spaces just aren’t built for kids, and so the few kids you see are always uncomfortable and distressed.

you don’t “hate kids,” you hate the intense social rules assigned to kids and anyone who interacts with kids.

You don’t “hate kids,” you hate how society reproduces its most restrictive elements and how kids are powerless to resist it.
