Encouragment for writers that I know seems discouraging at first but I promise it’s motivational-

• Those emotional scenes you’ve planned will never be as good on page as they are in your head. To YOU. Your audience, however, is eating it up. Just because you can’t articulate the emotion of a scene to your satisfaction doesn’t mean it’s not impacting the reader. 

• Sometimes a sentence, a paragraph, or even a whole scene will not be salvagable. Either it wasn’t necessary to the story to begin with, or you can put it to the side and re-write it later, but for now it’s gotta go. It doesn’t make you a bad writer to have to trim, it makes you a good writer to know to trim.

• There are several stories just like yours. And that’s okay, there’s no story in existence of completely original concepts. What makes your story “original” is that it’s yours. No one else can write your story the way you can.

• You have writing weaknesses. Everyone does. But don’t accept your writing weaknesses as unchanging facts about yourself. Don’t be content with being crap at description, dialogue, world building, etc. Writers that are comfortable being crap at things won’t improve, and that’s not you. It’s going to burn, but work that muscle. I promise you’ll like the outcome.

in terms of the actual show stan is a representation of the average-relatable-all-american-boy coming of age and dealing with the world, which is why he most frequently deals with complicated realities centered around growing up (You’re Getting Old comes to mind.) he’s the viewer insert which does require that he be very “default” in his social identity (straight, white, cis, etc) HOWEVER. awareness toward one’s potential queerness is becoming more and more normalized in young people AND there is one very specific, harrowing experience that a staggering number of queer kids have growing up which would warrant an exploration of it in-series if they were to hypothetically deal with such a phenomenon where . im sorry im rambling My point is it would not be outside the realm of possibility for stan’s character or for the show’s themes if stan were to cope with a devastating and seemingly-one-sided crush on his best friend. just really highlight the #experience. i’m not delusional enough to think style will ever be canon but by god i’d be so fascinated to see how they’d handle it
