Bed Sharing Scenarios

the bed is big enough for two people without touching, but unfortunately there is only one blanket

we’re roommates and you drunkenly passed out in my bed; move over I’m coming in

we have to sleep on the forest ground, so everything can be the bed, but we still sleep close, because we feel too exposed

you woke me up screaming from a nightmare, and I’m tired, so let’s cuddle so the nightmares don’t come anymore

we rented a place together with our friend group for vacation, but there are only double beds in every room and everyone else already found a sleeping partner

our cover is that we're a couple and it only makes sense to sleep in the same bed

we always used to have sleepovers as children, why would it be weird now?

without enough money, I can only pay for one person to sleep in the hotel, so you need to sneak in and we share

we sat on my bed and talked for hours and eventually we just fall asleep

there is only one good pillow and we both don’t the neck pain, so I guess we have to press our heads close together

we’re camping and my tent ripped, can I please share yours?

there was a big party at some people’s house and we wake up in the same bed together, what happened?

we fell asleep on the couch, watching a movie and wake up entangled with each other

we're snowed in and there is not a lot of space and heat

sharing a bed used to be quite normal for us, when did that change?

What is an Unreliable Narrator? And How to Write One.

An unreliable narrator is a storytelling technique where the narrator's credibility or truthfulness is questionable. The narrator either intentionally or unintentionally provides a distorted or biased account of the events, characters, or situations in the story. This narrative approach can add complexity, suspense, and intrigue to your writing. Here's how you can create an unreliable narrator:

1. Establish a motive: Determine why the narrator is unreliable. It could be due to personal bias, mental instability, deception, or a hidden agenda. Develop their backstory, motivations, and beliefs to understand why they might present a skewed version of events.

2. Use subjective language: Incorporate language and descriptions that reflect the narrator's personal viewpoint and biases. Their opinions, emotions, and interpretations should color their narration, influencing how readers perceive the story.

3. Include contradictions and inconsistencies: Allow the narrator to make contradictory statements or present conflicting information. This creates doubt and keeps the readers engaged as they try to unravel the truth.

4. Reveal information selectively: The unreliable narrator might withhold or reveal information strategically, manipulating the readers' understanding of the story. This can create suspense and surprise as readers discover hidden truths.

5. Showcase unreliable perceptions: Explore how the narrator's perceptions and interpretations of events differ from reality. They may misinterpret actions, misremember details, or even hallucinate. These discrepancies add depth to the character and raise doubts about their reliability.

6. Use other characters as contrasting sources: Introduce other characters who present alternative perspectives or contradict the narrator's version of events. This contrast allows readers to question the reliability of the narrator and form their own interpretations.

7. Employ narrative techniques: Experiment with techniques like foreshadowing, symbolism, or unreliable memory to emphasize the narrator's unreliability. These devices can help blur the line between truth and fiction, leaving readers intrigued and uncertain.

8. Provide hints and clues: Drop subtle hints or clues throughout the story that suggest the narrator's unreliability. This allows readers to piece together the truth gradually and encourages them to engage actively with the narrative.

I’m trying to use this while writing Jude from Bad Decisions. Let’s see if it works.

[charincharge]

“I love that the Grisha’s weakness is that they have to do their funky little hand movements with their hands. And if you just injure them or bind them they’re USELESS”

- my gf is the best partner to watch this show with

[fangirlprincess-writes]

Yes, but I feel like it shouldn’t be that way? Might be just me but that is such a stupid weakness.

Fun AU Combos I

I took my list of AUs and used a random number generator to create 10 AU combos, which may or may not seem crazy. Let's see if they spark some ideas!

Werewolf AU x Coffee Shop AU

Teachers AU x Historical AU

Fairytale AU x Guardian Angel AU

Social Media AU x Supernatural/Magic AU

Royalty AU x Cop AU

Superhero/Villain AU x Roommates AU

Firefighter AU x Bodyguard AU

Modern AU x (Post-)Apocalypse AU

Outer Space AU x Royalty AU

Neighbors AU x Time Travel AU

I personally see a lot of potential for 6 (x). What do you guys think?

[fangirlprincess-writes]

#6 is just Vicious by V.E. Schwab. But it would still make another great story.

I also think 10 sounds fun. Like for example if they were both time-travelers

[insanitysilver]

I love you, messy WIPs. I love you, uncaught typos and missing punctuation. I love you, poorly drawn hands and illegible sketches where the artist got sleepy. I love you, raw unpolished edges of creation.

I love you, tender humanity in imperfection.

[fangirlprincess-writes]

I wish I would feel like this about my own stuff

[wormsdyke]

listening to music literally fucks so hard. you mean i can just put in headphones and experience incredibly profound emotions felt throughout my entire body

[fangirlprincess-writes]

While I read I put on playlists based on the books I’m currently reading. Can 100% recommend.

@pscentral​ event 2: comedy  ↳ pride & prejudice (2005) dir. joe wright is a comedy and in this essay i will—

[fangirlprincess-writes]

I swear I’ve never laughed as much during a movie as I did the first time watching this one.

Please also add the scene at Rosings where Lizzy turns around after looking at the parrot and everyone is arranged so “artfully” that Darcy looks so incredibly weird 😂

[lizzybennets]

#pride and prejudice (2005) being a mood

Pride & Prejudice (2005) dir. Joe Wright

[fangirlprincess-writes]

*unintelligible screaming*

[letsbelonelytogetherr]

hey (with the intentions of)

[fangirlprincess-writes]

one of the best scenes in any romance movie ever

[femcelgirlie]

the girlies reading

[cocomonerd]

No because pride and prejudice isn't "I changed myself for you so you would love me back." It's "your blatant rejection and disdain for me made me realize things about myself no one had ever been bold enough to tell me so I sat down and evaluated all my behavior patterns and why they came about and came to the realization myself that I had to work on myself. Also I don't expect you to love me now that I'm a work in progress, so I'm just going to do nice things for you because I don't like seeing you hurt." No wonder P&P fans refuse to settle.

[fangirlprincess-writes]

This is how it should be

[but-the-library-of-alexandria]

an underrated detail in pride and prejudice is that elizabeth bennett was home alone on the day darcy proposed because she had a headache. can you imagine. this was in the pre-painkillers era. you're at home with a headache and then this asshole walks into the room and tells you he loves you and wants to marry you even though he hates your whole family and you're beneath him. imagine having to deal with that while also having a headache. she doesn't even have ibuprofen

[fangirlprincess-writes]

This is so true. Also how dare you hide this in the tags:

“If she’d been at full health Darcy wouldn’t have made it out alive.”

[huttslut]

shoutout to the lord of the rings lighting directors. bold move to let the audience see what's going on in nighttime scenes. i miss that.

[coopsgirl]

[fangirlprincess-writes]

No because this is a thing that annoys me so much in current movies. I cannot see anything that is going on half of the time because it’s so incredibly dark! I can’t even appreciate the movie fully because I cannot see!

I read somewhere that someone from the Lord of the Rings Team said (to the question of where the light should come from in night scenes) “the light comes from the same place the music comes from”. I 100% would not even question why there was light during the night, I would just be happy to see anything that is going on.

If you ever want a good, well thought out, structured analysis about TFOTA (with references from the text!), I cannot recommend @slightlyrebelliouswriter23 ‘s posts enough. They’re amazing and have made me think about this series so much more!
