If you ever feel insecure about your writing, remember that Dante Alighieri wrote a self-insert shipping revenge fic about the fucking Bible and it was so good it's all but considered canon by most denominations of Christianity

Your idea cannot possibly be more ridiculous than "I'm going to get tasked by God to traverse Hell, Purgatory and Heaven and I'll get to do it with my favourite historical writer and also that woman I had a crush on who isn't my actual wife, oh also the popes are all in Hell."

Dude literally wrote a section of the Eighth Circle of Hell that was seemingly entirely reserved for politicians he specifically didn't like

That Beatrice woman he's always after? HE MET HER THREE TIMES IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE, AND THERE'S NO HISTORICAL INDICATION SHE KNEW ABOUT HIM.

Like I actually want to see an adaptation of Dante's work where Dante is in fact an angsty teenager writing angry poetry about school bullies and the one girl who turned him down for prom

But yeah while it is good to want to improve yourself, don't constantly flagellate yourself over how silly your ideas sound in your head

Honestly, Animorphs core conceit is pretty damn silly, but it's one of the best series of children's books ever written.

"So they turn into animals?"

"Yeah"

"Like, just... regular animals."

"Oh, but they can think like normal."

"Okay, so like... how does that help?"

"Well, one of them can turn into a bear."

"Okay I guess that helps a little, but like... don't the aliens have guns?"
