You do have a point. All stories may have a “cliche story plot,” but some of them do teach a strong message within them. Some authors spice them up a bit. There’s nothing wrong with giving somebody a reality check in a story right? I may have said that a lot of readers do like cliche stories, and it’s not my place to tell them not to like them not to. The point is, everybody’s story idea came from somewhere; they got their inspiration from somewhere. You can’t just come up with an original story on your own unless you are telling it through your real world experiences.

Even yourself, you couldn’t have thought of your stories on your own because you had to get your inspiration from somewhere. Mental illness, low socioeconomic struggles, discrimination and prejudices; those topics inspired you to write “My best friend’s father.” No harm there because those topics are real world issues. You just incorporated them into a really good story with an interesting message that your readers should grasp from reading it

[loveyourself]

Now I see your point. I think I want more “cliche” stories like that. One with lessons and morals. Agree, yes?

[ELx]

This community…I usually make fun of ppl who say stuff like “This community’s trash!!” But it is trash

People have the audacity to say “This community is draining my mental health” or “This community is trash” when they are the ones who start unnecessary drama/bully people.

I feel like Episode is gonna remove Writer’s Portal. I wouldn’t be surprised.

I made a huge mistake. I feel like this is a bigger mistake than the dumb stuff I did that led to me not having a car atm.

My sister pressured me to come hang out with her. Because I guess I’m not completely an asshole and have the decency enough to pretend to like my sister to a point, I agreed, and now I can’t go anywhere because she has a flat tire and whatever. I’d be fine with walking home if my stuff wasn’t so heavy…But I hate spending time with my sister. Too much time with her and I feel like I want to rip my hair out…and hers, too.

So, first thing, she bashes my dad because OF COURSE she does. She hates my dad and is like, “I can’t believe how selfish mom is! I thought DAD would be the selfish grandparent!” Wah wah wah, some shit about our past when Dad was DISCIPLINING us and “being mean” aw…poor little snowflake. It never fails. It is like she WANTS me to confront her, like…no. Dad isn’t a piece of shit, but you are, honestly.

I decided to say a little something. “Mom was always that way, and Dad was always that way.” But of course she argues. eyerolls Just let that shit go. I don’t care…

Then…oh what great fun. She is trying to tell me why I am so angry. No…I am mad af because I’m STUCK here with her. A freaking’ NAZI (literally a Nazi)…a damn socialist, insane, authoritarian NAZI whore. I am not mad in general, but she’s trying to tell me like “you’re so hateful” blah blah, like no. I just hate you. Don’t try to make this into anything it isn’t.

I don’t have the heart to tell her all this, and I never will because if you know my sister, you know why. She’s a freaking’ nightmare. -_- Her drama is not worth it.

At this very moment, she’s venting to my dad, and even HE said, “She’s always been that way.” And then she agrees with him…>.> So…

Ugh. Anyways…I feel a little better. Thank you OP for this thread, GOD BLESS YOU <3

[loveyourself]

No slut-shaming. Lol. But cut her out of your life, you really don’t need a toxic bitch like that.

[loveyourself]

coughs Certain people, no names coughs

[NelidaU]

OH I just had to reread this. I don’t remember writing some of this stuff. LOL

My bad >.> I really just let it go, XDXD

I’d love to cut her out. Just not sure how that’ll go down … It has been tried before.

[loveyourself]

I tried doing that with my little sister. She wanna get closer. Hell no, bitch.

[Willowbean]

Everything is so boring including episodes cant find anything to read and literally all the authors i have favorited havent updated much v.v

Even stories tht r highly reccomended i cant get into everythings so unintresting to me and things run together…maybe im getting too old for episodes it cant possibly be this dull…can it?
Mood: hella apathetic

Also is it just me or are these forums dying?

[jenna1012]

rant

Im done I’m fucking done. My depression and shit is really kicking just fuck. My mom tells me crap that she knows irritates me and stress me out. But yet she tells me. I can’t fucking remember shit, I’m slacking off at school, and I don’t know why but I’ve stopped caring. And I is it want this to stop I want everything to just end. I’m not strong, people have so much worse but still manage to stay happy…

[amberh.episode]

ugh more problems in my life

It’s Christmas time. In the past, I’ve loved it. I’ve loved getting the presents, loved spending time with family, loved the cold weather, and just generally feeling happy because it’s when everybody else is happy during the holidays. But this year… It’s not the same. I don’t know if it’s just because I’m older and I don’t believe in Santa so the whole “Christmas magic” is gone or what but… I just feel bad. I’m not in the Christmas spirit and I just don’t feel like spending time with my family because I just don’t feel happy this year. I still love the cold weather, that’s just me, but just… the happiness is gone. There’s so much stress with my parent’s health and my personal health that I should want to spend time with family but I just don’t. I still don’t even know if it’s because I’m a “teenager” now or something or because of other things.

I’ve tried to be happy. When it first turned November I made us get a tree and decorated the house and spent the whole time listening to Christmas music, but I felt nothing. I just put on a smile to see if I could make myself happy for Christmas, but I just can’t. And I just feel so bad because I’m not with family and instead cooped up in my room on my computer.

anyway had to get that off my chest imma go now

[ELx]

Ugh, I wish I had time to worry about things. Exams are taking enough place

[night_owls]

:/

To be honest I don’t know what’s up? Everything feels like it’s fine but I just feel like something is lurking under the surface? It feels too good. My friend and her secret-girlfriend-while-also-having-a-boyfriend drama is kind of calm, which never lasts long. My grades have been slipping a bit so that’s very annoying, and so far my mornings have been worse than usual. I can’t really get out of bed until 6:05 instead of 5:30 and I can never get my contacts in so I’m basically blind in half of my classes. I have so many things I want to do like test out acrylic paints I bought for the first time or draw my characters or work on mini episode things but I just…don’t? Like my homework gets in the way, but I feel like I have the time, but just never use it? It’s so annoying. Also my weight is now at 96 lbs. so my dad is pressuring me to get it up more. He’s trying to make me drink this breakfast drinks, which honestly aren’t bad, but he makes them like 10 minutes before my sister and I leave for school so I never have time to drink them. And then he yells at me to drink it when I’m out the door! But I really do need to gain weight. I want to get up to 100 again before my next physical so I don’t have to hear my doctor talking about how underweight I am. It doesn’t help that I’m the pickiest eater alive so

Happy Rant??

But on a lighter note…I think I’m making new friends? I actually have had the same friends since elementary school, plus maybe like 4? Then there are the “class” friends who I only keep touch with in school. But!!! There’s a junior in my french class and folio club who is super nice and talks to me a lot! I hope we get closer because she seems fun. AAAAND!!! The girl in my human behavior class (who also brutally murdered my anonymous writing with her blunt critiques but she’s nice so whatever) invited me to go somewhere with her!!! She wants to go to a live podcast thing (idk what they’re called) in New York in like two weeks together! I don’t know if I’ll be able to get a ride there since my mom is working, but she seems so cool and we like the same music and both listen to this podcast so I don’t want to miss out on it. I seriously need to start making new friends and this is actually so exciting this girl is so nice to me and invited me to go somewhere??? I could never. Let’s pray that I can actually go! Catch another rant if I can’t.

Just New Things??? Happier!

Also I’ve been getting into aesthetics recently and they’re so nice? Especially pastels!!! I lovvveee pastel purple and have been changing my all of my computer and profile backgrounds to it. I even started making little collages and it’s so peaceful! OH and I also want to make like a fake gameplay thing for a fangan so I’m learning how to make my own music and create videos to look like gameplay! I submitted an oc from my fangan to a killing game thing and the people seemed to really like the character but I haven’t heard back from them yet and one of the admins keeps saying how spots are filling up. Am I in those spots? I can’t just ask bc I’ll seem desperate so I guess we’ll find out! (that last bit probably made no sense sorry)

Those edits bc I LIKE THEM OK

They’re big and also kinda lame but they make me happy because I get to find new pictures and it’s all so peaceful and wowie living it up huh
(edit: looking up pictures for another collage and yellow is cute but it also feels like it’s trying to hard. SO MANY SUNFLOWERS AND FLOWERS IN LIGHTBULBS? WHY)
(edit 2: ALSO FUTURISTIC 50S STUFF IS SO WICKED BUT I CAN’T FIND ANY GOOD PICTURES??? LIKE KATY PERRY’S CHAINED TO THE RYTHYM VIDEO? THERE WILL COME SOFT RAINS??? GIVE ME THAT AESTHETIC!!! WHERE IS IT???)

[Willowbean]

I like the pics n.n they are cute

[night_owls]

Aw thank you!!

[perksofbeinghasna]

Don't you just LOVE uni

It’s been three weeks. There was a delay in publishing the grades of our exams due to “force majeure”. Our grades will be ready by the 6th of December.

It’s currently the 6th of December, 9:42PM, still no grade in sight. Everyone is stressing, including me.

Honestly, I’m so done with my school. Their whole management team sucks.

@jenna1012

My mom tells me crap that she knows irritates me and stress me out.

The fact that parents do this really, really bother me. I’m really sorry you have to deal with that, because it is much easier to be like, “Oh…this person said something, but they’re just a person I see sometimes, their opinion about me isn’t that valid.” But when it is someone that is supposed to be close and important to you for whatever reason, things they say obviously bother us. I wish more people would understand that.

@jenna1012

I’m not strong, people have so much worse but still manage to stay happy…

You have the right to be weak sometimes. No one is strong all the time, but the fact that you’ve lived with depression for however long speaks volumes about your strength, trust me. The fact that someone else has it worse than you does not invalidate the fact that you have your own struggles, too. I have a difficult time myself remembering that my experiences are real; I often tell myself like, “I should just get over it because my life is so amazing compared to many, many others.”

You deserve compassion, and I hope you can find it in someone. <3 <3 <3

[NelidaU]

I just rage quit Episode LOL

So like, reading a story that has been…kinda finished in INK a while ago. There’s a Limelight version that’s mostly done, but not yet, whatever, I’m early in the chapters, and I remember this INK story cause I’m kinda still relatively new, I don’t know a lot of stories at all.

So, INK is like 40+ chapters, and the LL is like 26 I think right now. I get to chapter 5 and something MAJOR is different. Maybe this is no big deal to some people, but I’m upset about it.

The love interest character was the one that was like good at academics and intelligence and classes and whatever, and this new LL version, the roles are switched like …>WTF??? The woman is the smart one now, and the dude is just a bumbling idiot, like >.> I do not like.

Why is there something wrong with a man being intelligent and helping a lady out? Hmm? Hm? HMM?

It’s like the horrible change in Beauty and the Beast remake where Belle is the smart inventor lady, and Maurice isn’t quirky inventor guy anymore! Why do we have to make other characters look dumb to make our woman characters look better than they were originally or better than they actually are? XDXD

Trademarks of a SUE! I hate this way we portray women in media now. “Look at all the cool stuff she can do now, she’s everything great! And no one else can have awesome qualities to that extent. Sorry! (not sorry)”

EYEROLLS SO MUCH EYEROLLS

[EESSENCEE]

(╯_╰)

Ok so I am sooo fucking tired of my friends at school, there so worried about their pride and so full of them selves and say the most repulsive shit without thinking and it makes me so mad. I understand that people have their insecurities, believe me I have some to but pointing them out to your so called “Close friend” is so wrong honestly and even watching your friends laugh and insult me with their other friends is really fucked up. I honestly want to just cut all my friends off but if I do who the hell am I gonna talk to?? NO ONE. all my “friends” like to make fun of me being bisexual and cover it up by saying “Essence you know I’m just playing” “Essence stop taking stuff so serious” like WTF?? this is why I come to episode to make friends BUT I CANT EVEN DO THAT RIGHT!! I’m so fucking shy to talk to anyone on here because they usually stop talking to me after a while and it sucks…

[night_owls]

Not really a rant but i just wanna say this

I got into the killing game rp I submitted for and i’m so excited I’m actually sobbing? also I’m pretty sure i can go to that podcast thing in NYC but i haven’t talked to the girl who invited me so idk what is up? The event is 16+ unless you have a guardian and I’m 15 so I hope the girl knows I’m a sophomore? Plus I’ll need a ride and it’s on a wednesday and it’s in the CITY so I’m nervous but I’m talking to her hopefully tomorrow! Life is going good and so far all of the admins in the kg rp are just chanting “we are the rats” so I think i’ll have a good time! YEET
