(no subject)

I am so bored of stories where the only problem is low self esteem
I mean they all go the same

oh no what if he doesn't like me I shall hide my regard for ever and ever
oh hey he noticed well now he'll never talk to me
... likes back? what do?
*sex*
oh how so wonderful a being can like me, this will never work
*heartfelt compliment*
huh, they actually like me, well, guess I wasted those decades for nothing
*happily ever after*

... it so tedious. and generic. everyone can have implausible self esteem issues because they're only a super genius superhero with the body of a movie star, and then everyone be all fixed because someone says nice stuff.

and half the time the nice stuff is just achieving minimum standards of human interaction anyway.

even customised self esteem issues based around the age gap or educational disparities or the gap between public image and private knowledge, whilst superior characterisation, are still really, really played out.

I mean I can see how it's like chocolate chips and you could happily read a bunch of sweet where the payoff is that they like each other

but where's the ones that get into the really meaty issues and try and resolve actual conflicts?

whine whine I can't get new canon until practically next season, why does not tje world cater to me, whine whine.



I should start writing again and fill in these gaps.

I mean I keep starting the day with the plan to and ending it with no words done.

But a much tidier house.
