Growing up is when you realize that you don't hate romances or love stories.

You hate how they're written.

the 2010s + psychological horror films

aims at creating horrific or unsettling effects through in-depth use of psychology. this may involve replacing physical threats with psychological ones (e.g. madness), thorough exploration of the mind of the involved protagonists, replacing overt displays of horror by more subtle, creepy details, and so on.

ways your characters can show varying emotions

to show sadness (grief, sorrow):

- sharply sucking in a breath

- hiccuping from crying so hard

- uncontrollable sobbing

- slumped shoulders, head down

- weather can be used to show emotions — not just rain, but a shining sun and birds chirping contrasts well with a grieving character

- depending on the person, sadness can result in lashing out at others for no reason or shutting everyone out

to show anger (rage, frustration)

- red face, fists clenched

- narrow eyes

- sharp comebacks, gritting teeth

- the air around them is tense

- others may be silent, ignoring whoever they’re angry at

- inhales

- angry. tears.

- kicking, punching, slapping

to show shock (hurt, confusion)

- wide, confused eyes

- freezing in place

- collapsing to their knees

- silent and blank-faced

- ignoring everything else happening around them

to show happiness (joy, delight)

- bright eyes

- crinkles around their eyes from smiling so much

- laughter!

- optimism

- playful, laid back nature

- the weight being lifted off their shoulders

- relaxed sigh

Limitations breed creativity

Avatar: Magic is limited to the four elements (and some spirit stuff). Furthermore, everyone except the Avatar is limited to at most just one element.

The magic battles are spectacular displays of creativity where each element is utilized to its full potential in a variety of ways.

Harry Potter: Magic is basically limitless, with there being a spell to do pretty much anything and any wizard can learn it, including an instant-death spell.

Which is why fighters on both sides only ever go for the best and most effective spells (Avada Kedavra for bad guys, Expelliarmus for good guys) and magic battles look like this:

[charlesoberonn]

I know what you’re talking about. With the most obvious example being Spiderman vs. Superman.

Spiderman’s powers being basically the same for 60 years now, and writers had to come up with new ways for him to use his abilities.

While Superman (especially in the silver age) is pulling new powers out of his ass at every given opportunity.

But I think unlike Harry Potter where there’s no reason for wizards to use anything except their go-to spell, Superman does use the full array of his powers to deal with different foes.

He doesn’t instantly go for freeze breath or heat vision every single time, even though they’d probably be the most effective powers for most situations.

[peachdoxie]

I recommend reading Brandon Sanderson’s essay on his Second Law of Magic, in which he talks about one of his guiding principles when building magic systems: that the limitations are more interesting than the powers. He actually talks about Superman and how the limitations on his powers are what make him a good character, and talks about the Wheel of Time, which has a similar system to ATLA. It’s a long essay, but well worth the read if you’re at all interested in world building.

Here’s the link to his First Law and Third Law as well. The third law especially touches upon some of the concerns/criticisms brought up about HP and Superman.

a fools guide to not wanting to die anymore

by me, a fool who doesnt wanna die anymore 

never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.

find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.

talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore

picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else

if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.

That’s some pretty good advice. I don’t know what’s left of my humor after ‘guess I’ll just die’ jokes but it’s worth a shot.

[snackwizard]

Personally i went from “guess I’ll die” jokes to “IF I HAVE TO BE HERE FOR 5 MORE MINUTES I PROMISE YOU I WILL BUY JUST, AN ARRAY OF CLOTHES.” and other wild hyperbolic stuff. Just replace the death part with something ridiculous and off topic. Its very entertaining

[808lien]

This also works with calling myself things like stupid, worthless, trash, etc. Even if you do this jokingly to yourself, your brain still believes it, and keeps up the cycle. Seriously, I found that when I stopped saying these things about myself, even jokingly, it made a massive difference.

[maramahan]

Here’s a tip I picked up from a friend that’s helped me a lot — replace self deprecating jokes with ironically self aggrandizing jokes

Like every time I trip and fall, instead of saying “l’m just a disaster human” I say “I’m the epitome of grace and beauty”

Or like, when I draw a picture I’m not 100% happy with, instead of saying “my art is trash” I say something like “you know I think it’s time we replaced the Mona Lisa”

When you do that you get to make a joke, but you’re ALSO getting practice building yourself up, y’know?

And eventually it becomes a reflex and you get so used to it that you can say nice stuff about yourself even when you AREN’T joking
