Can we please be the generation that stops putting up with the family child molester? The grown uncle who dates teenage girls, the husband who makes uncomfortable comments about young womenâs clothing, or the cousin who raises red flags with their behavior towards children but no one wants to talk about all need to go. Children, especially young women, are expected to âkeep the family togetherâ by not making a fuss over incredibly traumatic behavior. Children donât deserve to suffer trauma for adultsâ feelings of togetherness. Theyâre more worthy of protection than predators. A healthy family is not built on the backs of abuse survivors expected to live their lives in silence without justice, support, or protection.
We are thatâs why a lot of the generations before us donât like us
Facts, as call them out on their shit soon as we find out. Or let it be known that we not going to stuff theyâre gonna be at
trans+nb people: hey can cis LGBPQ+ people not use cishet to refer to ace+aro people please, itâs an important term for us to describe the intersection between cis privilege and straight privilege and people who benefit from the former shouldnât be co-opting it from us to use as a gatekeeping method
Uncanny valley=things that arenât normal almost getting it right
Third person limited view
Limited explanations
Rot, mold, damage, age, static, flickering, especially in places it shouldnât be
Limited sights for your mc -blindness, darkness, fog, refuse
Real consequences
Being alone -the more people there are, the less scary it is
Intimate knowledge, but only on one side
I donât know I just write scary things but I donât know what Iâm doing.
Rule of Thumb: your readerâs imagination will scare them more than anything you could ever write. You donât have to offer a perfectly concrete explanation for everything at the end. In fact, doing so may detract from your story.
