I thought it was time to introduce another one of my, "Terms of Character Writing". Grab a pencil!

Emotional Narrative-The sharing of feeling and perspective-taking induced by reading, viewing, hearing or imagining narratives of another's situation and condition.

Technical Writing-A type of writing where the author is writing about a subject that requires direction, instructions or explanation. This style of writing has a very different purpose and different characteristics than other writing styles such as creative writing, academic writing or business writing.

Deus Ex Machina-An unexcepted power or event saving a seemingly hopeless situation.

Now for 4 types of Character Arcs.

1) Change/Transformation arc-It's basically The Hero's Journey the protagonist has to overcome internal or external adversity.

2) Growth arc-While Similar to the Change arc, the difference is the focus is on the internal struggle the character may not necessarily change, but may reach a better understanding of themself and the world around them.

3) Fall arc-It involves the decline or "fall", of a character though bad choices they made, which ultimately doom them (and potentially others).

4) Flat arc-While still an arc, Flat arcs aren't about growing or changing as a character, but instead their journey is about learning to uphold their inner truth in a world that doesn't accept it, allowing them to overcome the external conflict along the way. It's what kind of change the protagonist brings to the world around them. The protagonist remains the same, but throughout the story their actions and opinions effect those around them, presumably for the better.

Pace-In literature, pace or pacing is the speed at which a story is told - not necessarily the speed which the story takes place. And this has been another one of my, "Terms of Character Writing".

After this year, the virus, losing my job, the rocky election, and this environment of woke. I just don't see the point of creating fan art, or my own original stuff, in a world that only cares about all others, except if you're a straight white male. And the ideology is everywhere, TV, Movies, Video Games and Books, basically all of social media. Why create anything or tell interesting stories when they've chosen to sacrifice quality entertainment for politics? I'm sorry, this generation has broken me for good. I QUIT! Other shows like Big Bang Theory or The Goldbergs wish to shame fandom or anyone who likes things from the 80's or comics. Fake geeks started from The Big Bang Theory, it's CBS's geek version of Friends, just unfunnier. Adam Goldberg clearly was ashamed of his childhood, so he decided to shame us all for recoiling in escapism. And I find it odd that no one wishes to bad mouth The Goldbergs, look online and you won't find negative comments of it anywhere. The show plays off like a bad Hanna-Barbera cartoon, every character is a Cardboard Character, they learn something that they'll forget anyway. And this lasted for 9 seasons! It's just an awful rip-off of the Wonder Years! Wait, wait, it was a property of Happy Madison productions, that's why. Since 2012 or 2013, the woke movement was born to crush not only things people like, but to destroy Escapism, and your way of thinking, that's a good thing. Problem is if you ever cared about believing to respect one another, judge not for the color of a person skin, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or sexual identity, why prove your point by rioting, killing, or doing things that you're trying to oppose? It's just all hypocrisy, if you go through such violent means just to be tolerant or acceptant, then what hope is there for the world? Black Lives Matters, seems to imply ONLY Blacks Lives Matter, and nobody else. And the riots aren't proving their point, and how the hell is removing the Police going to help anyone? This is a straight downward spiral to fascism. And I blame the Woke Movement, they say they want everyone to have equal rights, but they squeeze out, straight white males. Oh wait, straight, white, male and the major religions, such as Christianity, Catholics, Jewish and Mormons just at the top of my head. Because apparently this generation wishes to abandon all religion, now if you don't wish to believe, it's your choice, but don't bash on something that people believe since the beginning of time, it's faith! These people don't want the world to be better, they just want to make themselves feel better, because they feel bad that others aren't doing well as they are. 9 times out of 10, people only help to make themselves feel better, not the people they're helping. That's the sad horrible fact I've come to accept now. And it makes me sick that I must go on living knowing that this is the generation that will be looking after me when I'm old. Currently 32. In conclusion, the toxicity of this world and generation has broken me down, and I can't draw beauty anymore, in a world that's so ugly, inside, and out. Goodbye and Farewell.

Since the new face lift was done to DeviantArt, I couldn't handle the change. I thought I could be okay with it, but this site wants to be like Facebook. So now I haven't been on this site as much, and I'm leaning towards leaving this site. I'm sorry but unless people can convince me otherwise, I'll be considering leaving DeviantArt for good.
