There’s a difference between a female character who exists in a story and has a romantic relationship with a male character versus a female character who exists in a story to have a romantic relationship with a male character
This.
Truer words have rarely been spoken
just proud of the eyes
I like the idea of each fictionnal universe having a Chuck Norris equivalent with all the jokes/memes about them
For some of them it's obvious to me who it whould be, but feel free to give a different opinion or add more to the list :)
Right now I have :
Levi Ackerman (aot)
Percy Jackson
Harry Potter
All Might (mha)
Batman (dc)
Toph Beifong (atla)
Aragorn (lotr) (but we all know it should be Sam)
The Winchester brothers (spn)
Captain Jack Sparrow (potc)
Leia Organa (star wars)
I can't choose for One Piece, there's too many good options, help
So I was on ao3 and there was this in a fic...
This might just be the most accurate description of GenZ I've ever seen lmao
A king who doesn't really want to and isn't able to run the kingdom properly catches wind of a noble woman who wants to kill him to take over and he realizes she is extremely competent so he decides to propose to her to save everyone the hassle and they have a surprisingly healthy relationship.
"How about we get married ? You get to rule, I get to live. Deal ?"
The reason the Hunger Games books are so good is because Suzanne Collins knows exactly what she's doing. Everything she writes, she writes for a reason. Every character she creates, every decor she describes, every part of the story is there because it needs to be.
And the result is, everything is relevant.
Not just to the story, but to the current world, because that's what she's writing about. The Hunger Games books are realistic in a way very few, if at all, other stories with teenage protagonists are. Because Katniss is only just a kid, but she's also only just a pawn. She's the symbol of the revolution, but not the leader of it.
I think the one quote that defines Katniss best is from Haymitch. "There are no victors, only survivors". Because from the beginning, Katniss has close to nothing, and keeps losing more and more as time goes. She loses everything. Her trust in others. Rue. Her sanity. Her free speech. Her relief. Cinna. Mags. Wiress. Her home. Peeta. Her free will. Bloch. Finnick. And Prim. No victors indeed.
The Hunger Games is not a story about the end of a dystopian system. It's a warning about the uprising of one.
Animagi thoughts
If your animagus form is an animal that lives underwater, like idk, a salmon or a jellyfish or a fucking whale, and you transform on land, do you instantly die ? Or are you somehow protected by magic or something ? Or do you need to be in water (salted or not depending on the species) to transform ?
If a werewolf is also an animagus, and they're transformed during the full moon, do they still turn ? And if yes, when they turn back at the end of the night, do they turn back into the animal or their human self ?
If two animagi who don't know each other meet while transformed do they instinctively know the other is a wizard or do they think it's just a normal animal ? What about actual animals ? Crookshanks knew Sirius and Peter were wizards, but is it because he's magic, or an exception, or does that apply to every animal ?
How much does animal instinct play when tranformed ? If two friends' animagi are like, a cat and a mouse, is the mouse in danger ? And what about eating ? Does a vegetarian wizard whose animagus is a predator crave meat when transformed ? What about in human form ?
How easy is it to adapt to the animal form in the beginning ? Like if you're a pigeon, do you automatically know how to fly or do you crash ten times first ? Could a bird animagus still see windows or would they lose the ability once transformed ?
Does the animagus affect a wizard when in human form ? Would a dog animagus have a better sense of smell than other people ? Would a bat animagus be able to echo-locate ? Would they lose their sight ? Become more nocturnal ? What if the animal you turn into has a different perception of the color spectrum, would it switch with the transformation ? And if not, do you permanently have the human or the animal color receptors ?
When transformed, can you understand other animals of your species ? What about when not transformed ? Would someone who's animagus is a snake become a parselmouth?
Does Hominum Revelio work on people in animagus form or does the spell consider them not human ?
If for some reason you lose your memory, can you still turn into your animal or do you have to relearn it ? What about if you lose it when in animagus form ? Do you forget you're supposed to be a human ?
Are a patronus and an animagus form always the same or do some people have different animals for each ?
Also, imagine being a wizard spy or smth so you train to become an animagus for camouflage but then your animagus form turns out to be, like, a fucking camel, and you live in the middle of Europe lmao
Writing Tips
Punctuating Dialogue
✧
➸ “This is a sentence.”
➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.
➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”
➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”
➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”
➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”
➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.
“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.
“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”
➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”
➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”
However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!
➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.
If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)
➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“
“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.
➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.
➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”
➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.
“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”
➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.
“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”
omg this is so helpful
!!!!!!!
Thank you
⚠️The Hunger Games : Sunrise on the Reaping SPOILERS⚠️
The Hunger Games books never disappoint, and they always have something new to say. The way I understand it, everything is about the "how" (but every time with a new angle, a different approach of the same story, aka war and revolution).
In HG, how the system works (dehumanuzation). In CF, how it fragilizes (anger). And it how it ends (grief). In TBoSaS, how it starts (control). And SotR is about how it keeps going (manipulation).
In the fice books, there are four games that each also bring something new and different : the games themselves and volunteering in HG, the ultimate cruelty of pitting the survivors against each others in CF, the outsider/mentor/oppressor perspective in TBoSaS, and in SotR, Haymitch not believing for a minute he'll make it out alive, but finding other reasons to fight.
So, based on all this —and I might be stupid for that because it's gonna be SO painful— you know what I really want next ? I want to read about the helplessness and the despair of someone outside the arena, the perspective of a tribute's loved one. I want to read about the loneliness of the previous Victors watching from the Capitol, so out of place among these people who love this show, aching to scream at them, to open their eyes, but forced to be all smiles because their role is to get sponsors, that's the only way they can help, no matter if it makes them sick to act like they're one of them.
In clear, I want to read about Annie's Games, and I want to read them from Finnick's perspective.
So someone pointed out that Annie and Finnick being from district four were probably careers, and that's one more thing I wanna see explored. How is life in the career districts before being selected ? And after ?

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four
You are a supervillain, and everyone was surprised when you declared another supervillain to be your arch nemesis instead of one of the heroes who constantly thwart your plans.
"Doesn't this make you an anti-hero?"
Coming from someone currently dangling from their feet over a vat of acid, the tone is remarkably unconcerned.
Hey @frankly-ludicrous , please write a book
