Métamorphose d'un papillon aux couleurs bleues. @artiste85
started playing new fantasy life very fun very excited very hype i have been waiting for this for years but so far one of the funniest bits is that the king of the past can smell that you’re unemployed and makes you get a job before he helps you, but you do have a job you’re an archaeologist assistant you are presently doing your job by talking to this king of the past but no it’s not one of the 12 jobs bestowed by the guild office so you have to forsake your thirst for knowledge and adventure and go pick up a fishing rod.
“bits to use in everyday conversations”
on “the blond,” “the older man,” and other crimes against third-person limited
You know that thing where a story is written in tight third person limited — we’re meant to be inside someone’s head, seeing the world through their thoughts — and then suddenly the narration says “the blond frowned” or “the shorter woman sighed” about a person the POV character knows really well?
That’s called antonomasia — using a descriptive label instead of a name. And it’s fine when we’re talking about strangers: “the cashier handed her the receipt,” “the tall guy blocked the door.” The POV character doesn’t know their names, and we just need a quick way to tell people apart.
But the moment it’s used for someone the POV character already knows, it breaks immersion. Because that’s not how our minds work. We don’t think “the older man smiled at me.” We think “Mark smiled.” Or maybe “my boss” if that relationship matters in the moment.
Third person limited means the narration sits inside someone’s perception. Their inner monologue is the story’s voice. So when you switch from “Mark smiled” to “the blond smiled,” you’ve pulled the camera away from their mind and turned it into an outside shot.
If you want to create distance or irritation, you can do it on purpose —
“The idiot from accounting emailed again.”
That’s character voice. That’s judgment. That works.
But otherwise?
As soon as your POV character knows someone’s name, use it. While we do tend to worry about repetitions, names rarely register as such to the readers.
If you need variety for rhythm, use relational or emotional identifiers that make sense in their head: her friend, his partner, their teacher, the person they loved.
Because inside someone’s thoughts, there are no “blonds” or “brunettes.”
There are only people they know.
Really good explanation of the fundamental problem with this type of writing.
(and why it's one of my huge pet peeves)
Who's ready for a Game Changer?
While this site skin is in dark mode in these screenshots, I have included instructions to make a light mode. Or a purple mode. Or a yellow mode. Or whatever else you might want to do with it.
You can find the CSS code for this skin on github.

I'm bored, so I've decided to pull a Tumblr and talk about one of the asoiaf OCs I made just for fun.
Since I can't draw original stuff for shit, I've simply made her in CK3 and used the template made by slccpylady to give her that asoiaf wiki page look.
