Most sci fi/fantasy: this civil war has been waged for a thousand years. These great houses have ruled the realm for eight thousand years. These two families have been feuding for ten thousand years. This single political institution has stood for twenty-five thousand years.
Animorphs: there is a war waged across the galaxy, waged by countless species. Entire planets have been conquered, entire species have been enslaved. Multiple genocides have been committed, even by the "good guys." It's been going on about, oh, thirty-two years now.
If u want to write a story about a character that’s just you but hotter with a dark twisted backstory and magical powers and a pet falcon or something, I think u should just go ahead and do that. Who’s gonna stop you? The government?? Fuck the police.
You have to recognize your capacity for harm. You cannot omit the harm you've done to others to remain "good." Anybody can be a bigot. Anyone can be an abuser. Anyone can harm anyone at any time even those who have been harmed themselves. The world is not made up of victims and villains only, this is life, not a Saturday morning cartoon and you are a human being who can or maybe even has hurt others and you HAVE to acknowledge that to learn to be better.
most of the talk on this website about Game Changer is how Sam Reich psychologically tortures his contestants, but I want to make it clear to the uninitiated that he's actually extremely ethical about it
He sends out a company wide email and asks them to choose episodes based on a chili pepper rating system
meaning he doesn't put 🌶️🌶️ people into 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ episodes
they're also big on consent ie cast and crew have to be okay with it before they'll do nudity or something like that in an episode
it's like the bdsm of psychological torture. safe, sane, and consensual.
the contestants know what they're getting into, and they're full down
people who trash voyager for being inconsistent don’t understand how that’s the appeal.
Harry Kim is legally dead for like two minutes, is immediately resuscitated, and gets three days off from duty and is told to “reflect on the things that have happened to him”.
One season later Tom Paris becomes one with the universe, turns into a salamander, and isn’t even allowed to be late to work without Chakotay telling him to eat shit and die
Lon Suder is such a funny character like imagine you are a murderer and you think you are going on a work trip for a few weeks but it ends up with you stuck half way across the galaxy and you just start killing your coworkers and then to stop you serial killing the office security guard gives you insane telepathy sucking & fucking and it blows your mind so hard you turn to a life of orchid farming and meditation while in space jail and then right when you start accepting that as your new life they are like “oh actually our ship got taken over so can you start killing people again? pretty please? and then you do and you serve cunt and you die
