[isleprose]

Hi, I'm Ren (@funkygender is my main);

This is gonna be my blog for writing stuff maybe? We'll see how long this lasts before I forget about it or something, I dunno.

I'm five years into writing a book. But I write other stuff, too.

That's all. Yeah.

Sex scene as character study is so good. What is your relationship to your body? What is your relationship to your partner? What lessons have you absorbed from the culture about yourself as a sexual being? How much do you have to trust someone before being comfortable with intimacy? What fears and insecurities come to the fore for you when you take your clothes off? It's so good.

[headspace-hotel]

How do they communicate? How do they expect others to communicate? How well do they understand their body and their own capacity for pleasure? What do they tend to do to make their partner feel comfortable? How comfortable are they showing emotion in front of others? How much insight do they have into what their own emotions mean and are connected to? What are they focused on during the encounter? How conscious are they of exchanges of power and vulnerability? very very very good

[jessfink]

Yes. YES

An rpg that starts off in new game+ but the party has no memories of their original adventure but everyone else does.

[otherwindow]

two of your party members who hate each other find out they became a couple in their original adventure 

one of you did a judas betrayal but nobody knows who so everybody is on edge

the party has end-game equipment bound to them but their level 1 brains don’t know how to use any of it

nobody knows half of the stuff they have in their inventory 

there’s at least 3 npcs who are mad you didn’t complete their quests in the original adventure

[princessdraconic]

yoooooo are you rockin your true form? fuck yes. id do that too but ive been explicitly told i need to give the festival a 50 metre radius before i can assume it

[swagophile]

as if the thoughts of those beneath you are significant in any form. you should never lend creedence to the impotent whining of mere humans. its sickening. wait i mean. um. true form.. uh.. sorry i feel kind of weird right now. i kind of feel like destroying everything

i think as a writer, the older you get and the more you read, the more you realize there are very few actual truly bad ideas. which is a relief. but! the other thing you learn is that stories live and die on the execution and ha ha. lemme tell you. unfortunately. there are lots and lots of bad ways to execute an otherwise fine idea

[sallytwo]

i’m sick of post canon stories about characters getting married and having kids and finding peace when they should actually be getting divorced and abusing alcohol and being suicidal NO MORE HEALING NO MORE RECOVERY YOU ALL NEED TO GET WORSE!!!!!!

[justsomeguycore]

horror movie showing a child’s drawing of the monster or ghost or whatever but instead of a little kid and crayons they’re like a preteen and it’s manga style

[paperplateprose]

not now kitten. daddy's realizing that the scene he invested 1000 words into could be significantly improved but only if he started over from scratch

white fantasy authors: okay so white people are from normalsberg and all nonwhite people are from the mysterious mystical kingdom of mystery world where the sands are mystical and weird. and also theyre ugly ass orcs

fantasy readers: this is fucking awesome. this rocks. youre so good at this man

nonwhite fantasy authors: so the knight is a black woman, and there are no orcs,

fantasy readers: okay what the fuck. can we stop bringing contemporary politics into everything. ugh. this sucks. i dont like this

[mothermara]

remember to bury the dead with a phone, everyone. these days the ferry terminal at the river styx wants you to download a fucking app

[slunch]

I think it's one of those normal non-corrupted amulets and I'm glowing green for unrelated reasons

[coldgoldlazarus]

I want to see a work of fiction that reverses the "vampires are snobby upper class, werewolves are brutish lower class" stereotypes

[coldgoldlazarus]

Consider a vampire's reliance on blood as a metaphor for living paycheck-to-paycheck and depending on the kindness of others to get by, and the desparation that can make one slip into taking.

Guy who never feels like his problems are “bad enough” to be taken seriously: what if I hurt the character so horrifically that everyone around them could not possibly deny the severity of their pain even if the character themself tries to downplay it.

[jhoomwrites]

[yusuke-of-valla]

Looking at the tags, a lot of people are blessedly unaware of the Discourse, for posterity:

[orcboxer]

do they think... that prologues and epilogues... which take place within the story and are very much inside of the same book as the rest of the pages... don't count as part of the book....???.....

i went to mad at you island and there was a single shuddering obelisk made out of an unidentifiable black substance where nothing would grow near it. so yeah i think you might need to work that out at some point.
