HI ITS BEEN A WHILE.
This edit just popped up on my fyp and inspired me quite a bit. I just handed in my final assignment for this semester at uni so once I recover from the burnout âŠ. Iâll see yâall soon (if anyones still out there) đ€đ€đ€đđđ

I wish all writers who havenât been able to write in a long time bc of depression a very I love u and I promise u will write again
Itâs a great day to be a Drew simp
two pretty best friends
also sidenote..... anyone else here fuck with All the Young Dudes
My head has been completely empty besides thoughts of a dead gay werewolf slash wizard from the 70s and Iâm okay with that
I have about 150 pages left of my second read through and idk what Iâm gonna do with myself... read it a third time perhaps?
hii soooo seasonal depression has been kicking my ass.
but itâs now starting to get a tad warmer where I live which has been putting me in the mood for writing again (especially writing for outer banks because hashtag summer motherfucking vibes)
but to get to my point... fics coming soon if yâall are down to wait for me. Iâm starting to read other creators fics again which will inevitably inspire me so sheâs a coming pls be patient with me, especially if youâve been waiting for the âHate That I Love Youâ part 2.
When you are writing a story and refer to a character by a physical trait, occupation, age, or any other attribute, rather than that characterâs name, you are bringing the readerâs attention to that particular attribute. That can be used quite effectively to help your reader to focus on key details with just a few words. However, if the fact that the character is âthe blond,â âthe magician,â âthe older woman,â etc. is not relevant to that moment in the story, this will only distract the reader from the purpose of the scene.Â
If your only reason for referring to a character this way is to avoid using his or her name or a pronoun too much, donât do it. Youâre fixing a problem that actually isnât one. Just go ahead and use the name or pronoun again. Itâll be good.
Someone finally spelled out the REASON for using epithets, and the reasons NOT to.
In addition to that:
If the character you are referring to in such a way is THE VIEWPOINT CHARACTER, likewise, donât do it. I.e. if youâre writing in third person but the narration is through their eyes, or what is also called âthird person deep POVâ. If the narration is filtered through the characterâs perception, then a very external, impersonal description will be jarring. Itâs the same, and just as bad, as writing âMy bright blue eyes returned his gazeâ in first person.
Furthermore,Â
if the story is actually told through the eyes of one particular viewpoint character even though itâs in the third person, and in their voice, as is very often the case, then you shouldnât refer to the characters in ways that character wouldnât.
In other words, if the third-person narrator is Harry Potter, when Dumbledore appears, it says âDumbledore appearsâ, not âAlbus appearsâ. Bucky Barnes would think of Steve Rogers as âSteveâ, where another character might think of him as âCapâ. Chekov might think of Kirk as âthe captainâ, but Bones thinks of him as âJimâ.Â
Now, there are real situations where you, I, or anybody might think of another person as âthe other manâ, âthe taller manâ, or âthe doctorâ: usually when you donât know their names, like when there are two tap-dancers and a ballerina in a routine and one of the men lifts the ballerina and then she reaches out and grabs the other manâs hand; or when there was a group of people talking at the hospital and they all worked there, but the doctor was the one who told them what to do. These are all perfectly natural and normal. Similarly, sometimes I think of my GP as âthe doctorâ even though I know her name, or one of my coworkers as âthe taller manâ even though I know his. But I definitely never think of my long-term life partner as âthe green-eyed womanâ or one of my best friends as âthe taller personâ or anything like that. Itâs not a sensible adjective for your brain to choose in that situation - itâs too impersonal for someone youâre so intimately acquainted with. Also, even if someone was having a one night stand or a drunken hookup with a stranger, they probably wouldnât think of that person as âthe other manâ: you only think of âotherâ when youâre distinguishing two things and you donât have to go to any special effort to distinguish your partner from yourself to yourself.
This is something that I pretty consistently have to advise for those I beta edit. (It doesnât help that I relied on epithets a lot in the earlier sections of my main fic because I was getting into the swing of things.) I am reblogging this so fanfic writers can use this as a reference.
A good rule of thumb: a characterâs familiarity with another character decreases the need for an epithet (and most times you really donât need one at all).

hello(: hope all is well! just found your hate that i love you fic and omggg def following and reading more. you should make it into a series if you want cause i would eat that shit up lmao
hi angel!! been a while since Iâve been on this account but this makes me really happy to see. Iâm currently in the midst of finals season at university but over the winter break this story is something Iâd really love to revisit as Iâve been thinking a lot about it recently!! Thank you for the lovely message and motivation đđ
Without the halo, wingless angel.
hellooo babes
just an update :)
I moved back into my university apartment a week ago so Iâve just been taking some time to settle in and readjust to everything.
I hate being so inactive and I really miss the feeling of interacting with this fandom. Hopefully I can gather the motivation to write some more before my classes start to become more demanding.
also Iâve saved a bunch of writing that Iâve scrolled past over the past little bit so I canât read what all of you have been working on when I get the time over the next few daysđ€
every time I see this manâs vids I think of coho rafe + gf.
this is 200% their energy.
picturing this provided me with so much serotonin THANKYOUUUYYYYYU
