This. This is good fiction writing advice. I really appreciate how it was formatted as “this is a common problem, here is a solution to try in your own work” and not “oh god, don’t do that!” without any extra help. And I extra appreciated the “don’t rely on adverbs” bit, because they do have their place but they aren’t the only way actions can be emphasized.
Some tutorials I ran across for hands and arms that I thought people might be interested in! (Unfortunately, not all in English, but hopefully still useful!)
Just a reminder, but you do not need to “earn” being tired.
You’re allowed to be tired, even if you haven’t “done” anything and you’re allowed to be tired even if you did less than someone else.
Being tired is a normal thing your body does for a whole plethora of reasons, and is a basic bodily function. You don’t need to “earn” basic bodily functions, no matter what anyone else tells you.
hey hey hey this is really important, especially as a reminder to people with disorders that cause chronic exhaustion.
Unpopular opinion: straight people using “partner” to refer to their SO actually helps normalize the term so that lgbt folx can use it without automatically outing themselves to strangers. It also helps other straight ppl get comfortable with the fact that strangers aren’t entitled to information about other people’s gender or sexuality.
Give op their hard-earned notes
Tbh I hear “partner” and assume gay, I didn’t know straights used it. Very fair point, OP
I hear ‘partner’ and think ‘gay’ too. A girl at work used it for months and I just went with it. When she would say ‘he’ I even thought maybe he was trans*. Anyways, someone using partner makes me more comfortable and I came out to her. She was just an intelligent straight girl that liked the term and was knowledgeable in human sexuality so definitely someone I should have felt comfortable coming out too. It’s a good sign of a straight person uses it IMO.
As a mental health clinician, this is actually my blanket term when discussing any romantic relationship. I agree it normalizes it, but I also think it’s a relatively safe term to use to describe most romantic relationships without making any assumptions about the person’s orientation or identity. I also use the word “partnered” when describing a monogamous relationship status.
The term “partner” also removes the implied hierarchy of boyfriend/girlfriend vs husband/wife. This is relevant both to non-monogamous people, and unmarried individuals for whom the importance of their relationship isn’t dictated by its legal status.

The numbers the left are the Production Order of the episodes. Which means THAT’S the order they started working on them.
Which is why character interactions make WAY more sense when viewed in this order.
*Not sure if this should be immediately after the QB Episodes but I put it there anyways. You can move it back if you’d like.
**{QB}Queen’s Battle and {DoH}Day of Heroes 2pt episodes.
This should help. I watched up to Captian Hardrock via this list and it all made SO MUCH MORE SENSE having Glaciator, Troublemaker and Frighteningale earlier in the season.
I’ve been wanting to make this educational “cheat sheet” for a while, so I finally got around to it! I hope it helps explain reposting!
Reposting = uploading somebody else’s artwork onto different websites.
Please reblog AND repost this chart anywhere and everywhere!
I’m in a Facebook fan group for a local comic convention that I attend every year. People talk about the convention and cosplay plans, but also just share cool stuff from various fandoms and comics. Today in this group, I saw that someone had reposted a piece @junchiu made after Stan Lee passed away. I instantly recognized the piece and was excited to see it, but realized right away that this was a repost. There was no link to any of the artist’s pages, the artist’s name was never mentioned, and she obviously had not gotten permission to share it.
I commented a link to the artist’s tumblr and Facebook to the post so that others could find the primary source. I also commented, verbatim, “Please don’t repost art without acknowledging the artist or linking their pages. It makes it more difficult for them to find jobs and get the compensation they deserve!”
And within minutes, there were dozens of comments, including from the reposter, all annoyed with me.
“Get off your high horse.”
“LOL haters showed up today.”
“Whatever, people repost on the internet all the time. Get over it.”
“The poster never CLAIMED she was the artist.”
And my personal favorite, from the reposter, “I was just trying to honor and commemorate Stan Lee’s life, and it’s so rude and disrespectful that you would ruin this post with your negativity.”
I don’t know how artists deal with this. It’s absolutely awful. I left the group. But all of their comments truly highlight what an enormous problem reposting is for the online art and comics community. “People repost all the time. GET OVER IT.” Just because it’s prevalent doesn’t mean it’s acceptable! And the reposter had me floored. It’s great that she wanted to honor Stan Lee. The artist obviously did a great job with the piece and also wanted to remember Stan Lee! It would’ve taken two minutes to search the artist and give appropriate credit. And in the process, others may have started following the artist, the artist may have gotten more recognition, some may have chosen to buy prints or commission the artist, etc.
It just sucks. And the irony of it all was that they were trying to honor and remember Stan Lee, one of the most significant comic creators of all time, and in the process, they saw no issue in failing to acknowledge and support new artists and creators.
