"How do you write such realistic dialogue-" I TALK TO MYSELF. I TALK TO MYSELF AND I PRETEND I AM THE ONE SAYING THE LINE. LIKE SANITY IS SLOWLY SLIPPING FROM BETWEEN MY FINGERS WITH EVERY MEASLY WORD THEY TYPE OUT. THAT IS HOW.
“I have stared into the abyss not just long enough for it to stare back. But for it to get uncomfortable and ask me to stop”
You have broken the strangest rule that your parents made, but instead of getting mad they give you a wand, a spell book for children, and a sword. The last thing you heard from them for a while was “well, I warned you”.
The beat that always stuck with me in regards to Uber and Leet was when Taylor mentions that they beat up sex workers on livestream while LARPing Grand Theft Auto. Uber and Leet get a lot of mentions before they actually show up, and the drumbeat is that they're pathetic, they're fodder, "as incompetent as supervillains can be while staying out of jail." Leet is the butt of a rom-com gag where Brian gives Taylor pointers on how to choke a man out more effectively. But they made money by beating up sex workers on livestream. That's a non-negligible number of potentially ruined lives! That's not softball fun-and-games! It's like textbook misogynistic violence against the marginalized! It's awful!
The narrative doesn't really dwell on this, because it's told almost exclusively from the perspective of people who have the firepower necessary to get away with treating Uber and Leet like jokes. But I think that it's a useful reminder that if you aren't one of the initiated, so to speak, then an encounter with the C-list, D-list, Z-list supervillain can be life-altering if not life-ending. The dumbest listicle-fodder DC or Marvel villain you've ever heard of has probably ruined at least one person's life over their handful of appearances, if not more. And it's an early indictment of the broad concept of the unwritten rules as advanced by Lisa, where she calls out Uber and Leet as the textbook example of villains kept in circulation because they're "amusing but harmless." This is within parameters? This doesn't merit heroes and villains putting aside their differences to clean house of problematic elements? Of course it doesn't. Both examples that Lisa gives of that dynamic in 3.6 involve a cape transgressing against another cape.
Redemption arcs are so cringe if you think about it. Oh you're powerful and evil and now you want to be a bummer and sad about it? Lol what are you Catholic?

this gets funnier every year
The year is 2042. Your daughter is awkwardly silent as she eats her dinner. “Something wrong sweetie?” She sighs and puts down her fork. “I was digging really deep in AO3 last night…Why didn’t you finish that coffee shop au?” It happened. Your past has come back to haunt you. Nay, it never truly left.
U CANNOT OUTRUN UR CRIME
OKAY BUT WAIT. This has happened to me. Recently. Because I am old and I have things out there from previous fandoms with previous pseuds and one day my teenager begins a rant at me about people never finishing any WIPs on the pit of voles (which he does not call the pit of voles because he has No Knowledge of such a thing but yet he still reads on which I didn’t think anyone did any longer) and he points out an example to me of something I WROTE AND LEFT WIPing for ages and he has NO IDEA #1 that his mom wrote this and #2 How much it still haunts me to this day that it will. sit. there. for. eternity. because I am too lazy to pull it down.
oh my god
#why didn’t you finish cleaning your room?#IDK MOM WHY DIDN’T YOU FINISH THE RON/DRACO MERMAID AU?
( @mrv3000 )
Every year, this becomes both more funny, and more painful, and for both of those reasons, it should never be lost or forgotten.
“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you
What is your BIGGEST Toxic Writer Trait?
Any sentence can be a full paragraph long if u try hard and believe in yourself
Got so caught up in dialogue now idk what anyone is doing w their hands
Got so caught up in an action scene now no one has spoken for 10 pages
Abuse of one metaphor you thought was really good and now can’t stop using
WIPs Georg, who has over 1 million unfinished WIPs, is an outlier adn should n
It really WAS supposed to be a one shot this time (now a 200k word epic)
Abuse of a specific word/descriptor you just happen to like
No beta readers we post our barely edited drafts at 2am like MEN
OP how could you forget ___? (Tags)
All of these exactly 100% equally/show results/I’m bald
Disclaimer these are just a small sampling of some possible writer traits I’ve noticed either in myself or in fics I read. Also consider a rb for sample size !
“I will grant you a wish. BUT… your gain will be someone else’s loss. If you want riches, someone will be stripped of theirs. If you want health, someone will fall ill. If you want love, someone will get their heart broken. And whatever you choose, that someone will know your name.”

All lines are written with my Verum series in mind. Quite a few lines play much further in the future of the series though. A future that isn't written down yet.
A - “All gather around this pile of…! whatever it is”
B - “Bluctro is giving me strong femboy vibes”
C - “Could the weird guy over there please step out of my line of fire?”
D - “Death is a constant. I'm very happy about that fact right now”
E - “Excuse me, I need to go for little robots”
“But robots don't pee?”
F - “Fools will be fools… That must be our motto”
G - “Gay aliens for the win!”
H - “How the fuck are we supposed to land the ship on this shitty terrain!?”
I - “Is that supposed to be a giant worm?”
“...Giant is an understatement…”
J - “Jokes are not permitted within this section of the facility”
K - “Kinder chocolate still exists? Why did nobody tell me that?”
L - “Life is a must have!”
“Ugh, when will this trend finally end?”
M - “Manners, Dethra! Manners!”
N - “Nobody will ever find out who I just buried here!”
O - “Ordinary people don't exist anymore, do they?”
P - “People these days don't know how to respect over 2000 year old people anymore”
Q - “Questions after questions… Do I look like fucking Google to you? Well… I suppose I do kind of function like Google… Ask away, I don't mind. Don't have to think about the answers anyway”
R - “Round… 32? 33? 34? Hell, if I could remember after beating each other up since… How long has it been?”
S - “Stareater approaching us directly. Coming from the direction of the Helix Nebula”
T - “Tell us again how exactly you got up there?”
U - “Underwear exists on your planet!? How come I've never seen any of your kind walking around in it?”
V - “Various guest already left bad reviews on this space hotel, seems like we aren't gonna be the first”
W - “Wow!”
“...”
“That's a reference to SETI!”
X - Xylophones? You ordered me a bunch of xylophones for my birthday? I've never seen a xylophone with my own eyes my entire life! Thank you so much, my love! I'm so happy to finally be in possession of a bunch of Xylophones so soon!
Y - “Yarr! A fleet of space pirates on starboard!”
Z - “Zrrrriiii'Klaaaa, Zrrrriiiii’Klaaaaa… The fuck does your name even mean?”
"We've known each other for years and this is the first time you ask!"
You’ve noticed a pattern. Whenever you try dieting your favorite restaurant has an unlimited nacho night or your friend has coupons for a free Pizza. It’s the apocalypse, rations are running low. As a joke, you say you’re going on a diet. Seemingly on que, you hear a knock on your bunker door.
You are a young man, fair of complexion and strong of body. Unfortunately this means that people keep bothering the nice goth lady down the street instead of coming to you when seeking the services of a witch
Prompt #10
Red has always looked great on me (like blood of the enemies, brutal and loving it)
It's ok... red has always looked great on me (clothes stained on their own blood after sacrificing themselves for someone they love)
I headcanon that Husk used to turn up in weird places after a night of drinking.
