If your plot feels flat, STUDY it! Your story might be lacking...

Stakes - What would happen if the protagonist failed? Would it really be such a bad thing if it happened?

Thematic relevance - Do the events of the story speak to a greater emotional or moral message? Is the conflict resolved in a way that befits the theme?

Urgency - How much time does the protagonist have to complete their goal? Are there multiple factors complicating the situation?

Drive - What motivates the protagonist? Are they an active player in the story, or are they repeatedly getting pushed around by external forces? Could you swap them out for a different character with no impact on the plot? On the flip side, do the other characters have sensible motivations of their own?

Yield - Is there foreshadowing? Do the protagonist's choices have unforeseen consequences down the road? Do they use knowledge or clues from the beginning, to help them in the end? Do they learn things about the other characters that weren't immediately obvious?

perhaps …. some soft/domestic couple prompts ? 🤭

fluffy domestic prompts that make me want to cry

found this in my drafts 😭 @jasminesfury

being slightly tipsy, and just dancing with each other with soft music playing in the background, your head on their shoulder, soft movements

fooling around on the couch and one says “wait did you remember to pick up the dry cleaning?” “that..is a very good question”

one trying to cook for the other and ending up destroying the kitchen “..it’s the effort that counts/you’re lucky you’re cute”

make out sessions where it’s less making out and more giggling and bumping their noses accidentally while smiling ear to ear

“oh i forgot that you’re an idiot” “i’m your idiot”

A casually saying something absolutely scandalous while B is eating and B almost chokes on their food

^ “that..” “sounds like a plan, no?” “why are you like this” (while being a blush-y mess)

“i am in love with an absolute idiot.”

“i love you” “i love you too..but i love your cat more”

A cooking for B ,“you know that i’m only dating you because of your cooking right? how do you do this do you have some magical power in your hands?” (“WELL..i recall you moaning telling me that i do- HEY OUCH”)

“i was thinking..do you wanna move in together?” “..aren’t we living together already-“ “what” “name, when’s the last time you slept in your own flat?” “…”

dating their sibling’s best friend, and the sibling finding out and telling their friend “oh you’re so dead” and chasing their friend/sibling’s partner around the room, while the sibling is frantically trying to stop it and their other friends are just laughing hysterically

“you’re kinda cute” “you’re hot” “i know”

“i love your lips. they’re so soft”

just both of them being in absolute awe of each other. how did i get so lucky

“you’re doing that thing” “what thing” “the cute puppy eyes thing you do when you want something”

how arcane taught me to outline — on character

inspired by @/schnee1 on youtube ; i’ve learned a lot from what he talks about in his arcane analysis video series and took inspiration from him to outline my wip, here are some of my notes on them! i’m also a film student so it might lean not so writeblry!

psa: this is my interpretation of arcane and the many helpful resources i found along the way + the things i learned from the show but i hope you find this helpful xx

i’m sure many of you have seen the award-winning hit netflix series arcane, league of legends fan or not. if you have to seen it, spoilers ahead if you keep reading and GO WATCH IT! whether or not you liked it, surely you’ll agree that its plot, characters, worldbuilding, conflict, etc, are on the next level. to say the least, i’m obsessed. so here’s a small writing help series of the many things arcane has taught me (with the help of the internet + youtube). this series is all thanks to you guys who said “yes do it” to me <3

Queer Creator Showcase

Alright here we go! Queer Creator Showcase year 2!

For everyone who missed it last year, this a mini-pride month event open to all creators who identify as queer or part of the queer community. All kinds of creative works - drawings, crochet, music, writing, etc - are welcome. It’s also open to all skill levels, whether you started on your medium last week or last decade.

Some quick rules/guidelines:

You may include a maximum of 5 pieces, across all medium. Ex: 5 poems, 2 drawings and 3 plush toys, etc.

Please submit all pieces in a single post. 

Ideally, post it on your own blog and tag me (@queercutlureis) in it. If you can’t, for whatever reason, please shoot me a DM and we’ll figure something out.

Please keep it SFW! No sexual and/or kinky content, thank you!*

Please feel free to introduce yourself and your work! A few lines about who you are, what themes you’re interested in, what draws you to your medium(s) would be lovely! But of course, no pressure if you’re not comfortable with this.

Related to the previous - feel free to include a link to your commission listings, soundcloud, etsy, patreon, etc. 

I’ll be accepting submissions from now (17th of May) until the 20th of June, to give everyone plenty of time to get things together. The showcase will begin on the 1st of June and end on the 30th of June.

*No shame in this, as always! It’s just for my own personal comfort, running it on my own as a sex repulsed person.

[queercutlureis]

are we allowed to reblog posts and tag you in the reblog? i have a side blog full of poetry that i'd love to submit - i can tag you on there on on this acc

-- @an-umbreon-named-raire

Yes, that would be fine =)

[queercutlureis]

are storytimes allowed? Like really queer ones?

-- @unibluepoetry

Like youtube/tiktok videos? I don't see why not!

But also, to clarify - the creations you submit do not have to center queer themes. If that's the kind of work you create, great! But being queer is enough.

May I ask what constitutes sexual?we have a poem we wrote that has things about cuddling and touching each otehrs skin but it's sfw and nonsexual, would that be okay?

-- @ecosys-coining

Yes, that sounds fine! Skin contact and cuddling is okay. When I say nothing sexual, I pretty much mean works depicting or implying actual sex. Artistic nudity would also be fine.

[queercutlureis]

I was planning on drawing something… problem is, it's body horror. Can i include it in this showcase, or should i refrain and send something else?

-- @queermetalgremlin

If the drawing is preceded with a brief trigger warning, specifically a description of what kind of body horror (ex. "eye horror, blood"), and placed under a readmore, that would be fine.

[buttercupmelodies-deactivated20]

Are you allowed to submit fanart?

[queercutlureis]

Yes! Fanworks and transformative works in general are absolutely welcome! =D

[yoursminehourss]

can you make multiple submissions (ive got some things ready to submit but some stuff under wing that would be finished in time but i dont wanna wait in case i forget)

[queercutlureis]

Hm, one post would be the ideal. You could post what you have so far, tag me in it, and I'll keep a note to DM close to/on the deadline to ask if you've got everything you want to submit in the post?

“Woman!” cried I, somewhat tearsome,

“Who are you to stand so fearsome

With your wavy locks of auburn hair and eyes of emerald green?”

Quoth the woman, “I’m Jolene”

tumblr blaze should have an ultra ultra ultra expensive option to reach every user in the site. you know it'd be literally the worst take you've ever seen. the kind of thing only the post op could agree with. insurable pvp zone. tumblr if you're listening PLEASE enable this you know how funny it'd be.

[goodatyugioh]

imagine, someone could pay $100,000 for every single user on this godforsaken website to read "i think it should be illegal to not make out with pigeons" and none of us could do a single thing about it
