@lillyrosenight
Hello everyone, it's lillyrosenight with a brand new shiny blog. My og blog of 15 years has been shadow banned. And Tumblr HQ hasn't bothered to fix it, so I'm starting fresh. I will primarily be using this blog to post my own written work. But I'm my sure my associated side blogs will be more eclectic. Anyways that's the sitch, just wanted to say hi.
Con Artist / Heist Prompts!!
✦ "Never tell the full truth. But never tell a full lie either. That's the art."
✦ "I've worn so many faces I sometimes forget which one is mine."
✦ "You're good. You almost had me. Almost."
✦ "Trust is a tool. Use it carefully and never let anyone use it on you."

tips to write college papers
begin with “buckle your seatbelts, motherfuckers, because in eight short pages i am going to learn u a thing that i only learned myself about two hours ago, so sit down, shut up, and enjoy the experience of my 4-am-redbull-induced-self-hatred-fuelled-writing-extravaganza”
erase when finished with the paper
I remember seeing this post when it was new, when I had a different tumblr account that I mostly used to vent about the shitty job i was working in between grad-school programs, and it stuck in my brain a little bit.
Seeing it cross my dash again years later, when teaching college students how to write papers is my full-time job, i think it apropos to put on my Authority Hat for a moment and tell y’all, in my role as an instructor of college English courses, where I think this post gets it wrong:
You don’t have to delete that opener afterwards, actually.
btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here
happy pride month 🏳️🌈
Testing to see if there’s a variant for agender
Happy April 1st everyone, and this isn't an april fools prank, the prompt list is HERE! The prompts were chosen through first a prompt jar that got a total of 40 responses (nearly double what we got last year!) that gave us roughly 350 prompts. From there 70 text and dialogue prompts were chosen and put in for the voting form. The top 31 of each type made it onto the list, one of each for each day of the month!
And, since this is our second year running Fluffy July, we have decided to DOUBLE the amount of alternate prompts as well! Like last year, 10 of them are the mods' favorite prompts that didn't quite make the cut for the list, but this year we also have 10 prompts that were fan-favorites!
Rules:
Works can be in any medium. Fanfictions, original works, podfics, recs, whatever you please, go for it!
Prompts should be responded to in a form of fluff
You don't have to create for all the days to participate in the event
Works only need to include one of the daily prompts or an alternate
Prompts can be used after the event has ended. The AO3 collection will stay open indefinitely and as long as you tag us we will reblog. (although it might take longer than it would during the event)
No AI generated content of any kind.
(regarding completionists)
To be a completionest you must fill all 31 days before August 7th
The completionest form should open on August 1ts and be open until August 7th
(regarding reblogging)
When posting to tumblr please use the tags:
#Fluffy July 2026

I've asked a question a few times for writing tips and idk if you're ignoring the ask or if it isn't being sent in.
Any tips on writing a character's scent or scents for a scene? I have a poor sense of smell and really need advice. Please help. I do love your advice 💕
Hi! so scent is honestly one of those things that can make or break a scene and the trick i’ve found is to never just name the smell. like don’t just say “he smelled like coffee” because that lands completely flat. Instead you connect it to something emotional or physical, how it hits the character, what it makes them feel or remember.
so something like “he smelled like coffee and something warmer underneath it, the kind of smell that made her feel like she was somewhere safe without knowing why” does something to the reader that just “coffee” never will.
for a character’s personal scent think about layers. there’s whatever products they use, shampoo, detergent, maybe cigarettes or a specific soap, but underneath that there’s something warmer and harder to name that’s just. them. like “he always smelled faintly of pine and cold air even indoors, something she’d stopped noticing until the day she realized she was looking for it in other people.”
for scenes it’s the same idea. instead of “the room smelled like mold” try something like “the smell hit her before anything else, damp and stale, the kind of air that hadn’t moved in years.” a library could smell like “dust and something almost sweet, old paper and the ghost of a thousand hands.” a hospital like “antiseptic so sharp it sat at the back of her throat and made everything feel temporary.”
and since you have a poor sense of smell, ask people what things smell like but also what it makes them feel or remember, because that second part is what you actually need for writing 🫶🏻
How to Describe Faces in Writing
A human face reveals a lot about a person.
In creative writing, describing a character’s face can uncover information about who they are and how they feel.
Writers can zoom in on individual features, like the eyes or mouth, or describe a face in its entirety to paint a picture of a character.
Develop a character through their most telling attribute—their face.
Tips for Describing Faces in Your Writing
Use figurative language when describing a character’s face. When you’re introducing a character for the first time and want the reader to create an image in their mind, use figurative language to describe the character’s face instead of just stating the obvious qualities. For example, you can use similes and metaphors. It’s okay to simply say, “She has blonde hair,” but you could also use a simile: “Her hair was golden like the sun.” In Great Expectations Charles Dickens uses a unique metaphor to describe a feature of a character’s face: “His mouth was such a post-office of a mouth that he had a mechanical appearance of smiling.”
Create facial expressions that reveal emotions. How a character’s eyes, eyebrows, nose, forehead, mouth, and chin move in unison can let a reader in on their emotions. A character can have a facial tic when they get nervous. Whether it’s raised eyebrows and a mouth curved into a smile or a furrowed brow and an upper lip curled into a scowl, you can use a character’s expressions instead of dialogue to reveal their feelings about a situation.
Frame your character’s face with a hairstyle that reflects their story. A crewcut might signify a military soldier or someone who likes to be in control. A ponytail or pigtails might indicate a young character. Describe a character’s hair color—black hair, dark hair, brunette, redhead, blonde, gray, or white—in interesting ways instead of just stating the shade. It makes a difference whether your character dyes their hair or keeps it its natural shade. Describe the length of their hair. A confident businesswoman might have short or shoulder-length hair. A musician might have longer hair. Match your character’s hairstyle with their personality.
Make facial hair an element of a character’s style. How a male character keeps his facial hair is telling. If he’s constantly clean-shaven, he might go to a regular corporate job. A bit of stubble can signify a more casual career. From a beard to sideburns to a goatee, facial hair helps paint a picture of a male character and can help represent their life and what they do.
Realize that eyes are windows to the soul. There are endless ways to depict eyes. Describe obvious characteristics like eye color—green eyes, blue eyes, brown eyes, gray eyes, or black eyes. Highlight their shape—round, almond, narrow. Think about the entire orbital structure, from eyelids to eyelashes. Illustrate how the eyes are placed in relation to the character’s face—deep-set, wide-set, or close-set. Give eyes their own movements to tap into a character’s feelings. Let a character’s eyes twinkle, squint, gaze, or glare.
Describe your character’s skin. The tone and texture of a character’s skin can provide insights into a character’s life. A child’s face might be freckled. A sickly character might look pasty. An old cowboy might be good looking and rugged with craggy skin.
Give your character unique facial features. Set a character apart with distinguishing facial features. Give them dimples, freckles, or unique markings on their face. Give them poor vision so they need to wear eyeglasses. Maybe they wear heavy makeup or have piercings. Think of different ways you can create unique facial features that help define a character.

Prompts for writing Eyes like that
☆ She had silver eyes with the faintest blue at the rim, like a cloud that can't decide if it wants to be sky.
☆ She had eyes like the surface of a frozen lake. Silver-grey, still, and you were never quite sure how thick the ice was.
☆ She had grey irises like a winter sky and she looked at me like I was the first thing she'd seen in a long time that made her want spring.
☆ His eyes were the color of a storm I would have walked into without a coat if he'd asked me to.
☆ His irises were the silver of a sword that has never been used. Beautiful and cold and quietly waiting for the moment it becomes necessary.
☆ He had grey eyes that went silver in certain light and I spent an embarrassing amount of time engineering the right light.
☆ His silver gaze was the first cold thing I had ever wanted to be close to.
Tips for Writing The Chosen One!
⊹ The chosen one trope's core problem is that it answers the most important question before the story starts. why does this person matter? because a prophecy said so. why will they succeed? because they're chosen. the narrative safety net is visible from page one and it removes all genuine stakes. The reader cannot fully believe the protagonist will fail because the universe has already endorsed their survival. tension requires uncertainty. "destined to win" and "genuine tension" are fighting each other the entire book and only one of them can actually win.
⊹ The more interesting version (and the version that has been saving this trope since forever) is the chosen one who doesn't want to be chosen. not in a "i must refuse the call for one chapter before accepting it" way, but genuinely, structurally, at the level of character design. Someone who has reasons to refuse that are just as valid as the reasons to accept. Someone for whom the prophecy is a cage, not a gift. the chosen one who chooses anyway, knowing the cost, is a completely different protagonist from the one who just follows destiny because destiny said to.
⊹ The prophecy should be wrong about something. or ambiguous in a way that bites back. or right in a way nobody expected and the rightness is worse than the wrongness would have been. A prophecy that turns out to be exactly correct and perfectly interpreted is not a narrative device, it's a spoiler delivered in poetic form at the beginning. The most interesting thing a prophecy can do is be technically accurate in a way that changes everything everyone thought it meant.
⊹ what does being chosen do to a person psychologically? this is the question almost nobody asks. you have been told your whole life that you are special, that things will be required of you, that you exist for a purpose larger than yourself. either you believe it and the weight of it is crushing, every failure a betrayal of destiny, every normal human desire a distraction from the mission. or you don't believe it and the gap between who you're supposed to be and who you actually are is its own kind of horror. both are interesting. "I'm the chosen one, let's go" is not.
A huge part of why reliance on ChatGPT and other resources which obscure just where they're getting their information from, and chatbots now known to be intentionally sycophantic, is the importance of understanding who is giving you information, and why they're doing it.
Bringing this up now because I've been on a hyperfixation binge watch of Kyle Hill videos. Way back when, he was the host of the "Because Science" videos on youtube taking hypothetical scifi questions like how a functioning lightsaber would be catastrophically and unusably hot, or how various mutant powers would be so much deadlier because physics.
He's got his own channel now for several years, and much of that channel focuses on nuclear power in history and particularly nuclear accidents and incidents.
And in one of his videos about Three Mile Island, he spends much of it ripping Netflix a new one for its dramatization of the event as it conflicts with the much less severe and dangerous actual historical evidence which then perpetuates an overblown fear of nuclear power and yet fervent defense of fossil fuels that cause way more harm.
And I bring this up, because we tend to take documentaries as inherently objective and factual, vs something like a biopic with an agenda or your standard "based on a true story" movie like Oppenheimer or Sully or Zero Dark Thirty. But documentaries are made by people, too, and funded by people with agendas.
I *love* nature documentaries, and want to believe that, by being a nature documentary, the "agenda" at play here is "please care about conservation by growing emotionally attached to this baby penguin" and not something sinister.
But maybe some aren't. Some definitely aren't when it comes to historical documentaries, whether it's about war or political figures or celebrities or religion.
Think about what the person producing the show gains by presenting their case to you in the way that they've done it. You don't have to go all tinfoil hat and rigorously vet every documentary before you watch it, just maybe if it starts to get seriously opinionated about one side or another, look into the person whose wallet made it possible.
