This. This is good fiction writing advice. I really appreciate how it was formatted as “this is a common problem, here is a solution to try in your own work” and not “oh god, don’t do that!” without any extra help. And I extra appreciated the “don’t rely on adverbs” bit, because they do have their place but they aren’t the only way actions can be emphasized.
Just as a psa take care not to paint taako as a super hypersexual Gay man. While there is nothing wrong with a person themselves being hyper sexual, it is still a dangerous stereotype placed on gay men. Taako flirts with one guy in the whole arc, but people write him as having sex with any guy that breathes. It’s not fitting to his character and it’s clear what roots that problem comes from
And on another point While many trans women choose to dress more “masculine” it’s telling when people refuse to draw Lup with an ounce of femininity. She is described as wearing a dress in a live show, she’s not afraid to wear a dress, but some people are afraid of putting a trans women dress because of, you guessed it, transphobia.
