my absolute favorite part of tumblr is how much you guys hate symbolism and like to pretend english teachers made up symbolism and authors never intended to write it. symbolism is what saves books from being boring and lifeless. i need you guys to understand how lazy and childish you look when you complain about having to find symbolism in books made for finding symbolism
Lmao Im a writer and fuck writing symbolism. Its all accidental
Also, sure there is intentional symbolism in writings. Crows and white pidgeons, hearts and roses, sudden overload of red and black everywhere as someone is about to be/was killed and hundreds more. Ok, I get that.
But trying to justify the colour of drapes in MC room by author’s mental state? Bitch, maybe he or she had the same drapes and just liked how they look in daylight. That strange glassy orb on bookshelf? Well, they had to put something here as a decoration, why not a glass orb. And that everpresent shopkeeper that always get’s in the way of street traffic? Well maybe there was a dude like that in authors real life who always pissed them with their loud shouting and smarmy voice so they put that idiot into their story and then got him killed first as a form of self satisfaction. No symbolism whatsover.
Just like @riverlovesyou1 said - fuck writing symbolism. It’s all accidental.
Thanks for bringing me back. And I’d like to say to @emeraldspiral that I get it. I really do. I even made an apology post about when I made this post because there are some symbolism that’s done on purpose but it’s too much when people are looking into it and using it like it’s some huge elaborate scheme.
But I agree with you. So many people push down the different ways and styles of writing. When I say it’s all accidental it mean all of the symbolism I’ve done in my novel(it’s a work in progress) has been on accident and that when I go back over it, I can add something small to enhance that it really is symbolism. But it’s still an accident.
Writing is an art form that many don’t understand, but there’s also so many things about writing that people forget.
But I have to say that Fanfiction writers are writers. That’s where so many people start. It’s not where they end. It’s almost like how people can do reboots and still have an amazing piece of work. Fanfiction is okay to write and it’s so amazing that we have them to make up a huge part of ideas but they do it too. They use those techniques and different styles.
So yes, some symbolism is accidental, some of it is on purpose.
Fanfiction writers are real writers.
And teaching students about these techniques and styles is good as long as you’re not over doing it and shoving it down your throats
What are you a fucking pervert who writes “down with cis” on a knife if i knew you irl id call a mental asylum your a sick person who deserves to die hate to say it go ahead call me a homophobic transphobic cis cunt its awful you did that honestly using your hatred cos some people hurt you against every cis person known to mankind is not how to act it may be your way to act but within society if you want to be viewed as normal and not a mentally ill gender dysphoric person then you cant do shit like that grow up get a life.
I would like to thank Jared fans for being horrible to me because I made two new friends today thank you very much
Jared fans reacting to you making up lies about him and putting it in the main tags makes you the a/h, not them as they are sick of your garbage takes on a good man that does more for the lgbtq+ community in a single year than Misha has done in his entire lifetime so far, queerbaiter that he is. Enjoy your new “friends” who are no doubt as toxic as you so good riddance.
