  1. Writing my #Christmas #romance #novel has made me realize that all of my #MarySue #wishfulfillment #powerfantasy dreams involve having the luxury to offer #charity to those in need, strengthening #community bonds, and finding a #thirdplace for teenagers to hang out with in a nonjudgmental atmosphere. There's also #cyborgs and #catgirls, but we can't all be #CharlesDickens.

  2. I got in a row the other day with a woman, who shared a post with her opinion about the toxicity of persons critical of Mary Sue characters.

    After much pushback, she turned off the ability to comment, so she forced my hand to respond otherwise. I resorted to my blog – and here.

  5. #NowPlaying this damn excellent new LP from last month, 'Porcelain Shield, Paper Sword' by Mary Sue, a rapper from Singapore (a dude). And he's backed up here by the Clementi Sound Appreciation Club (a five-piece band of jazz musicians from the local scene in Singapore). This is a lush, dense, textured and amazing rap record with Southeast Asian samples and Taoist folklore all over it. Great lyrics too - conscious and solid. A must hear for fans of rap (or jazz?) and another contender this year.

  6. Fiction exists, in part, to help both creator and audience process issues, learn empathy, and learn about themselves.

    That's why we NEED #MarySue. Yes, I will die on this hill. #CreateIt22 #writers #writinghelp

  7. Twelve years ago, I set out to make what I would believe to be the cringiest, most Mary-Sue character design I could come up with. Yet, I always feel like I could have pushed the visual pain factor even further.

    Another oldie since I'm still waiting for my dang stylus replacement.

  8. If modern works sell less than the past it's due what I call #Brandkillers works on them: first they wrote #fanfictions, never took a step up and they pour it into serious works, especially serialized sagas by previous serious authors. The power is rewrite an existing character, protagonist especially, and change into one's own avatar, making author/character link stronger, due they're inept of make but repropose what they are and if they're #MarySue alé! A bad escapism type with good reasons

  9. The #Picard reunion is everything. Even the old music comes back to take us back to the original, a happy time for me. Like a happy holodeck. Does that make me a #MarySue too? Sigh.

  10. Has anybody else written about 'taking back' the term #MarySue ? Instead of how it's a common insult/pejorative, we would use it to indicate how much we love our OCs and love living through them as we write?

  11. CW: The Recruit #Netflix spoilers

    In real life, Owen would've been kidnapped or killed not more than a few miles outside the airport in Yemen, and never have reached Dawn.

    Not whole or healthy.

    That he continually survives unsurvivable situations without help weakens this mindless entertainment (Mindlessness is why I'm watching. I mean, fuck the #CIA, they're pure evil) and makes him the biggest Mary Sue/Gary Stu I've seen since the first #MCU Doctor Strange.

  12. In full disclosure I didn't know either, but then I wasn't pretending I knew or willfully misunderstand it. Anyway, good to know.

    Men On Twitter Once Again Have No Idea What a “Mary Sue” Actually Is

  13. Es ist so ermüdend, dass jede talentierte Frauenfigur umgehend als „Mary Sue“ abgestempelt wird.
    Bei tausenden männlichen Heldenfiguren war das irgendwie nie ein Problem... #marysue
