Don't you just love women who exist for no reason other than to please the man
oh yeah it's great lmao. there's a whole subreddit (that i'm sure you're already aware of) called r/menwritingwomen and if you ever want to make yourself feel better about your ability to write characters different from you, that's the place to go. this isn't exclusively a man thing either obviously, but it's usually funnier.

Reading this writer describe his female lead as "drop-dead gorgeous, with beautiful eyes, alluring legs, a captivating body" and I have no clue what the hell this lady looks like.

no bc why are they all bad. every fiction book (and even a few nonfic) have been utterly terrible. Like the actual quality of the writing is objectively terrible, but because it has porn and tropes people like, it becomes popular. there are very few people online i trust for reviews, and literally none of them read fiction. i am starving 
i like Ashley from Bookish Realm for my book recommendations, but yeah, otherwise I'm not on board with a lot of booktube or booktok influencers.

i need to find a horror booktuber that doesn't just read Stephen King and it might have to be me. this isn't a dig at stephen king btw-- just that if you're gonna recommend stephen king to me, i'm going to stare at you for 20 minutes and then say "wow i have never heard of that book, where did you discover it." i do not need stephen king recommendations. i know who he is. i have read so many of his books. you do not need to tell me a damn thing about him.

gonna plug Bookish Realm if you're interested in reading more bipoc stuff. i've found a ton of good books thru her.


as a (former/retired) stephen king enjoyer, i understand your pain 100%. i love horror and it's my favorite overall genre of fiction. i read it often when i read fiction (which has been happening less and less these days) but i struggle to find anything that really stays with me. unfortunately, fiction doesn't scare me anymore like it did when i was younger. like not to be one of those annoying people who boasts about nothing being scary, but also nothing scares me; and i WISH it did. i desperately want to feel an emotion other than irritation with fiction. literally begging and pleading. but a lot of the stuff i've read that's been published in the last handful of years or so either feel flat, or they fall flat. or it's just really racist for some reason. that happens a lot too.


it's starting to kill my enjoyment of consuming horror in this format, honestly.

I took care of my dog constantly thinking, “do this so you won’t have any regrets” up until the very end when i decided to put him down. Yet it’s all i still find that’s left in me. I don’t know how long this period will go. I can’t seem to feel or remember the good times. Only guilt


one of my dear friends is going through the same thing as you. her cat was given to her when she started chemo as a child, and she lived to be quite old. in her last few years of life and my friend was newly an adult, she was struggling a lot with her cat's health, as her parents had never even taken her cat to the vet outside of getting her fixed. she went through a very long, arduous and expensive trauma trying to do the best she could for her cat, and eventually, it became apparent that no matter what she did, it would never be enough. her cat's health just wasn't getting better, and in the end, she was able to have a vet come to her home and put her to sleep. it was sad, but ultimately she knew that it was the right thing to do for her beloved pet. she said she didn't feel better, and for many days after her cat's passing, she was understandably, an emotional wreck. not because her cat was gone, but because she felt guilt for feeling relieved that it was finally all over.

i don't know you like that, obviously, , but be kind to yourself. you did what was best for your dog, and while you might not feel like it, know that choosing to euthanize our pets when it's their time is the kindest thing we can do for them. i've had pets come and go, and it never gets easy. there's something about the childhood family pet dying that just destroys you, and i think it's important to let yourself feel those feelings. it's understandable, and natural to have complex feelings about the person or creature you're caring for when you're their primary caretaker. it's fucking exhausting and often a thankless job. you care about your dog, but the financial and emotional stress that comes with caring for an aging pet is just a lot.

that's all to say, it's okay to not just feel sad. it's okay to feel guilt (though you have nothing to feel guilty for, obviously). the good times, and the love will come back, i promise.

I’m not THE most knowledgeable, but I know enough! I’d be more than happy to help you with discord stuff, teach a man to fish and all that. Honestly it might not be a bad idea for a tutorial either, because you’re def not the only person who has had this issue before,
. Feel free to add me on discord @localboogeyman if you’d like!

we need a list of free resources somewhere. while making my site, since I'm on a tight budget, I've had to search high and low for free use resources. (and I appreciate every single one of you that does your thing for free!)
hopefully something i posted here awhile back can help.
