this is such incredible advice for creating any kind of art i have to put it over here to remind myself
And this goes for writing too.
There are stories that only you are qualified to tell best: that only you are able to tell. You are uniquely positioned in spacetime to do this job because of your life detail, your upbringing, your reading, your thinking. No one else can tell your stories just the way you do, no matter how good a writer they might be.
And inside you somewhere are characters desperate for your attention; desperate for your intention and your work to breathe life into them. They need your voice raised to tell their stories. No one else can do it. You are their only hope.
Waste no more time worrying about whether your take on their stories will be good enough. You have more important things to be thinking about. So go get on with it. :)
AU is inspired by Renata Litvinova, a director and actress, and Zemfira, a rock singer. I am a fan of their creativity and my brain could not help but generate such an alter reality!
• Pippa is the Supreme Witch (I don’t like the version with the Great Sorceress, it’s the lot of men to call themselves something great as such without being).
• Hecate is an ethno-rock singer whose creativity is directed at the culture of ancient traditional witches and their rituals. Despite her 20-year career, no one knows anything more than her name.
• There was no Azura and imprisonment in this universe, Gwen was Hecate’s mentor, and Pippa pushed her to write songs.
• Pippa goes to all of Hecate’s concerts and the witch community shouts about their strong friendship at all. However, the media are confident in their affair, creating the only black spot in the reputation of the politician with rumors.
• Officially, Pippa is married to Joy Hardbroom, the head of the Hardbroom clan, the most influential family on the list of ten. Joy appears only in a couple with his wife and leads a closed lifestyle.
• Pippa has been the Supreme Witch for the last 5 years and conducts programs to support witches from human families and raise the level of magic.
• Gwen and Hecate’s team are the only people who know about their marriage.
• Almost every song of Hecate is dedicated to Pippa, which gives rise to these rumors about the novel. Joy is not going to comment on anything.
• Hecate’s repertoire and her voice are something in between Zemfira and Sounduk. Listen for the sake of interest to “Прогулка”, “Крым”, “Жить в твоей голове” (Zemfira) and “Лето”, “Герой”, “Считалка”, “ВММ” (Sounduk)
• Pippa is tired of dealing with the press.
• Therefore, Hecate avoids society.
• Pippa likes to be photographed.
• Hecate can’t stand it. But for Pippa’s sake he will suffer.
• Hecate has a lot of tattoos, but there is a bright pink pentagram and a bottle with Latin hieroglyphs.
• Pippa collects Hecate’s outfits for concerts. On the exits with Pippa, Joy chooses her own clothes. Most often it looks like a widow murdered in the Middle Ages.
• Pippa puts up Hecate’s home photos and marks different accounts (separately Hecate and separately Joy) under different photos so that people just know that she is still alive.
• Pippa’s accounts are kept by publicists, but the texts of the posts are written by Pippa herself.
• Hecate doesn’t know how to run social networks. But she actively monitors the accounts of a few friends and is rude to his haters.
It’s already happening. Like guys I cannot emphasize this enough the studios are going to make content creators the deal of a lifetime because they have a void to fill and those content creators will then be on the do not work list for the rest of their professional lives.
I just this morning saw a tumblr post from someone saying they’re excited to announce they are in takes with Netflix about remaking some niche anime.
Don’t be a scab.
Do not work with any studios right now.
They aren’t giving you a chance in the industry. They are tricking you into getting a lifetime blacklist so they can strikebreak.
just a reminder - do NOT boycott streaming services or not watch new things. the unions have not called for one for a reason. for one, it affects residual payments, which as minimal as those currently are, actors are still getting them during this time, and for two, studios will use lack of viewership as an excuse to cancel shows because you are showing them there is no demand. it deeply affects the industry the writers and actors stand to come back to once the strike is over
