This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That's only a problem of bad writing. In good writing, even the most powerful beings can be threatened. Good writing has internal logic and conflict. You cannot have either with the shitty kind of, "I snap my fingers and fix it" magic BS you reference.
At the end of the day, ALL of fiction suffers from the problem. Outside of fantasy, Plot Armor still exists. Any poorly written character can become uncompelling.
