I’m feeling creatively bankrupt right now but I really want to write, so ignore the “Requests Closed” thingy in my bio and send me a Slasher or a DBD killer and a number and I’ll see what I can do! It might be a teeny tiny drabble or it might be 700+ words ❤️

[secondhand-trash]

Prompt list of things that says “I love you” without saying it

“Are you coming home for dinner? 

leaving the light on after using the bathroom at night because they know that you suck at going to bed early but you are also afraid of the dark

quietly picks out the things you don’t like to eat on your plate and transfer it to theirs without you needing to ask them to

quietly gives you the things you like to eat from their own plate

heard you tell the same story multiple times but doesn’t point it out to you when you excitedly bring it up to them again

naturally goes along with a white lie you told and cover up for you when people question it

absentmindedly listening to a song completely different from their own taste in music that you made them listen to 

bringing up small trivia facts you told them to other people

“Do you want me to save food for you?”

“Call me when you get home?”

checking your phone late at night and see them go online the moment you open their message

brings an extra coat/scarf because they know you never check the temperature before going out

“I saw this and thought of you immediately.”

random snapshots of random animals at random times because they know you like that specific animal

slowly accumulating items that’s more your style than theirs

knows your schedule from the back of their heads (and gets shocked when there is a sudden change to your routine)

saying just the right thing to calm you down

holding your hand tight out of reflex when you are in a crowd

brings you up naturally in a conversation you are not in 

one look is worth a thousand words

believing in you even when you couldn’t do it yourself

“I’ll wait for you.”

adjusting the pace they walk in so you can catch up

turning around to check on you constantly when they are walking in the front

a harry potter au where potions is taught by gordon ramsay

[malfoycat-blog]

neville: *messes up his potion*

gordon ramsay: *holds neville between two slices of bread* what are you

neville: an idiot sandwich

[iamthepureblindraven-blog]

no no no!

Imagine that this is Gordon Ramsay a la Masterchef Junior

Neville: *messes up the potion, realizes it, starts crying quietly*

GR: What’s going on?

Neville: *explains how he messed up*

GR: Oh gosh okay…we can fix this, don’t cry, see, it’s fine now? Just be more careful when you’re adding the Newt’s eyes, all right? Drop them in gently. There we go. No more tears.

Neville: *giggles wetly, wiping eyes*

[mirab3lle]

Yes, he only screams when he’s dealing with people that claim to know what they’re doing and clearly dont, when he’s teaching he’s very kind and patient because they’re still learning.

[wickedbitchofthewestcoast]

He’d probably do the bread thing to Malfoy.

[therewerenorelevanturlsavailable]

nononononono. I get that Malfoy is a bit of a twat, but he’s still a kid. It’d be the teachers fucking up that he’d have trouble with.

Ramsay: All you had to do was treat it with a fucking Beozar! 

Slughorn: It was a stressfu-

Ramsay: How long have you been teaching potions?!

or

Ramsay: So you’re going to raise this boy SPECIFICALLY so he can die as part of your twisted little scheme? 

Dumbledore: It’s for the greater good, professor. 

Ramsay: The greater fucking good?! *holds two slices of bread either side of dumbledoor’s face* What are you? 

Dumbledore: Am I, per chance, an idiot sandwich? 

Ramsay: Yes, you fucking are.

I MUST HAVE REBLOGGED A THOUSAND TIMESSSS

[cameoamalthea]

My favorite Gordon Ramsey moment is from the latest season of Master Chef Jr.

Gordon had run in to help a group of struggling kids with a team challenge and one of the older kids, a 12 year old boy, wasn’t passing attention while taking a pan out of the oven and not only spilled all the food but scalded Gordon.

It’s clear Gordon’s leg is in pain. He’s been badly burned without warning. But he doesn’t scream. He doesn’t yell, not even in pain, and he doesn’t go off on the child who is now frozen in fear. He calmly tells the child to set the pan down and to close the oven, safety first. Then tells him to go restart the food he was making, calm instructions.

My husband and I grew up in abusive homes where any mistake meant parents getting angry (my husband is terrified of spills or broken glasses because that meant beatings growing up, for me, anything going wrong, that could upset my mother, even if it wasn’t my fault meant screaming and emotional abuse).

I didn’t know someone could be so calm. That someone could not get angry, and put aside what they’re feeling (in this case a lot of physical pain) and not take it out on those around them, even when someone around them had messed up, because that person is a child.

Gordon Ramsey is a survivor of child abuse himself and as an adult, the most non-abusive person ever when it comes to kids.

[owleensnest-deactivated20220718]

im going to cry can gordon ramsey be my parent this sound so beautiful

[ohmytheon]

Please take a moment to picture Gordon Ramsay taking over Potions when Snape becomes the DADA professor (instead of Slughorn) and not only being horrified when he realizes how terrified the students are that he’ll verbally abuse them when they mess up in Potions class but when he overhears how Snape treats students. Like can you IMAGINE the level of RAGE and CONTEMPT that Ramsay would harbor towards Snape? The asshat wouldn’t have made it to the end of HBP. Ramsay would’ve hexed his ass to kingdom come.

[berkcastteam]

Rebloging ALL of this because Chef Ramsay is THE MAN!

-HC

[xtaticpearl-deactivated20180118]

Chef Ramsay would have become the kids’ favourite teacher and you can’t take that away from me.

I made a walkthrough of my process for drawing faceted stones! Judging by the timestamps from the screenshots I took, drawing this one stone took an hour and three minutes, although I know I went and checked tumblr a couple times while I was working, so let’s just call it an hour.

Now MISCELLANEOUS NOTES

This walkthrough assumes you already know how to use layer masks, the clone stamp, and the lasso tool. There’s also one part where I didn’t label it, but I inverted the selection so I could keep my lines consistent. It’s in the third image.

Unfortunately I can’t really help with colour choice and the actual colouring of the pinwheel shape that makes up the back facets, but you can kind of see that I tended to colour with lines that cut across the facets and and kept the outer parts of the facets darker. It would probably be best to find a reference to work from!

This particular cut of stone is called the ‘brilliant’ cut.

There’s actually a lot of internal reflection business that goes on in a stone, but I elected to ingore all of it since at a distance you can’t really tell anyway.

Wow, I’m just so in love with writing??

Literally everything about the process is amazing. The initial excitement of having so many ideas, thinking and brainstorming nonstop because you can’t stop thinking about it. Actually writing it out is so thrilling because you’re actually creating and seeing your vision come to life. All of a sudden, the story takes over, the characters come to life, and all you want to do is keep writing because it’s so ridiculously fun. And finally the satisfaction of reading back on your own work, and being like “wow this is amazing, and I created this”. Then you’re rereading all of your writing and it’s so good, and then all you want to do is to continue writing so that you can see where it goes next and then reread it and continue writing and

Writing is so cool you guys, and you’re all so cool for being writers.

Stop demonizing wolves.

Like seriously. Wolves we see in movies and media… Not how wolves behave. At all.

1. A lone wolf is cool, strong and, something to strive to be. FALSE.

Lone wolves have either lost, left or been pushed out of a pack. They are likely starving, lonely and/or looking for a new family or mate. Wolves are highly social and need companionship. They don’t want to be alone.

2. An alpha wolf is the biggest, baddest wolf in the pack who fights for their position. FALSE.

There are TWO Alpha wolves in a pack. They are mom and dad, the oldest and usually the smartest cause they have experienced the most. They are usually more timid and less likely to put themselves in danger because they are the only wolves in the pack that breed. If they die, the rest of the family will likely loose their way and eventually break apart.

Biggest wolves are usually the ‘betas’ who are children of the alphas (cause most everyone in the pack are puppies from mom and dad) and are generally more likely to investigate.

3. Wolves are brave and will hunt down intruders to there territory. FALSE.

Wolves are HUGE scaredy cats. They are naturally neophobic after about 6months to a year. Something new and different shows up in there territory, they are likely to avoid or keep their distance. They are NOT going to attack unless food or puppies are involved. They are great at communicating and you will know you need to back off long before you are in danger. This also means that no, that ‘wolf dog’ is not going to be a loyal and protective pet.

4. Wolves adopt. This is true.

Wolves are puppy crazy. Like they love puppies (for the most part) and its very common for packs to adopt puppies into their family. No issues with breeding cause, only mom and dad are allowed to do that. this is a way that puppies breed in captivity have been introduced to the wild, by being left near known nursing females and the pack will often come find them and bring them home. You want to known how much they love puppies? Wolves will give up their own meals to make sure puppies get fed first. Wolves can gorge themselves on up to 20lb of food and have been seen regurgitating for puppies and pregnant mothers.

Please stop demonizing wolves.

Like look at these idiots. I love them so much. Stand up too fast and you scary. That thing that touched the ground, its mine now. They want your shirt and you say no so they growl, tickle their tongue and they are just like WHY!? Trust a growling wolf way more than a dog any day. (All these guys live at a sanctuary for captive born and rescued wolves)

Can you make a guide line to writing gay characters? Like, their lives and problems are not based off of them being gay, they have normal problems like everyone else.

Hi! I can absolutely do that! I just noticed that you did an ask for this blog, which I'm no longer doing writing posts on. Instead, I've made a blog dedicated to writing guides, it's called writingmywaytomygrave and I would appreciate it if you checked that out! You should see that guide soon, fingers crossed!

I'm a lil jittery from a mocha frappe I just drank and I'm thinking about the time this girl I had a huge crush on showed up in town at like 11 pm and we went to a coffee shop and she ordered a latte with 11 shots of espresso and the barista and I both made the same horrified face bc even if that were bad enough for any other human being this girl was 4'11" and like 105 pounds at most and I could tell the barista probably wanted her to sign some sort of waiver when they served her.

She wanted to teach me how to skateboard at 4 am.

She didn't crash until 8 pm the next day.

It was like watching a dying star go supernova

A Guide to Writing: Character Development

So, you've made a character. (Here's a handy-dandy link to my guide to character creation: https://maybeicansleeptomorrow.tumblr.com/post/186438779615/writing-characters)

Suppose you have a plot in the works. There's one crucial detail in any plot that a story CANNOT exist without, with few exceptions, and that is character development.

In every story, the main character, and often all of the recurring characters in the story will develop as the events of the story unfold around them.

For the rest of this guide, I'm going to assume that you've read my guide to character creation, or that you have an in-depth understanding of it.

The Basic Stuff

Character Understanding

Before your character can develop, you must first understand your character. Know their flaws, their quirks, and what they want to accomplish.

For the duration of this guide, I'll be talking more specifically about main characters, but this guide can be applied to any character.

So, at the beginning of the story, you either need your character to have some sort of goal, big or small, or you need some kind of event to jumpstart your character.

This is what fuels your plot. It will be very hard to write a decent story where nothing happens that sparks your character's "journey".

This "jump-start" is a piece of the character that develops with them, you need to keep it in mind in order for them to develop properly.

For example, assume a character called Jon Doe. Jon has lived his life watching a cruel, unforgiving gang steal from and harm those around him. So, one day, he decides that he's had enough, and vows to stop the gang.

The understanding of the character and his backstory, and then the understanding of his "jump-start".

Character Flaws

Once you understand your character and you understand their development fuel, you must also understand their flaws.

I can not stress enough that character flaws are absolutely crucial.

Every character needs flaws. Maybe they're super insecure, or they steal, or they don't care about other people. It could be anything. No person is perfect.

Knowing your character's flaws is important so that you can understand what they can improve on. A good portion of character development is understanding what a character needs to fix in themselves.

Throughout the story, the character realizes, sometimes in more painful ways, their own flaws. Sometimes they correct some of these flaws in some way, or just find a way to cope/grasp/deal with their flaws.

Also, try and give your character a flaw that will mean something to the story. Those kinds of flaws will bring out the best in the plot, and it helps the plot develop the character.

So, better put, think of a flaw that contradicts the plot. The flaw should inhibit the character's ability to accomplish their goal, thus, they must put the goal before their flaw, and overcome it.

Jon Doe wants to bring down the injust gang around him, but he is timid and scared, so he has a hard time working up the nerve to do what needs to be done in order to accomplish his goal.

Jon's flaw is being too afraid, but that completely inhibits his ability to stop the gang. So he'll have to brace through his fear in order to put the gang down.

Plot-Character Interaction

A lot of developing your character is understanding how they collide with the plot. Your character should integrate and mingle with the stories events.

Think of this handy phrase: The character should cause the story, but the story should also cause the character.

There should be a fair mix of events in the story that happen as a result of the character's actions (or lack thereof), but also there should be a fair mix of events that happen regardless.

What the character does needs consequences, good and bad. The character needs to make mistakes, but also needs victories. At the same time, events need to happen to the character. Sometimes things happen out of their control.

Every time the character does something, or something happens to the character, there has to be some kind of repercussion to the character, be it good or bad. And after all of these events piled up on the character, they should be changed, having seen and done so many things that rocked them to the core.

For example, Jon Doe single-handedly stops an attack that the gang was planning, which makes him feel more confident in the future. Later on, he is powerless to stop another gang movement, which forces him to face his flaw a second time, because he once again second-guessed himself.

Character Realization

Character Realization. This happens several points in the story. It happens in the beginning, when the character realizes what they must do. It happens somewhere during the Rising Action of the story, where the character looks at what they have accomplished, and what they must still accomplish, it happens just before, during, or just after the climax, when the character sees how they have changed, and it happens towards the end, when the character accepts who they are now (sometimes in darker stories, it is the opposite, and the character seems to only have gone backwards, but there was still development).

Character realization is how a character becomes aware of their development and of the story. It is crucial that a character understands (to a certain extent, don't get too meta) that they are changing/have changed.

Realization happens in the most important parts of the story, sometimes without you realizing. It's also what makes the story so impactful.

Even something as simple as "There's no turning back" or "I've come so far since...". Sometimes a character will just lean back and much more clearly "realize", taking a moment to assess their progress.

Be careful not to do this too much, though. A story gets very bland and unimpressive when a character never stops talking about where they started and where they are now.

The Advanced Stuff

The Hero's Journey

The Hero's Journey is a universally applicable format for both character development and plot. An in-depth guide for this will be released later, but for now I'll cover the Hero's Journey in terms of character development.

In every story, a character will "Cross the Threshold". This happens when the character leaves their normal life. It's when Jon Doe makes the final decision to take a stand.

This is, by definition, the kickstart of your story.

However, during your story, the character must face some kind of failure or "low point". This low point is what discourages them. The most character development of your story happens right after this point, when the character pushes through these hardships, and becomes even stronger to do what must be done.

This is interpreted differently for every story, but in the end, it holds true almost all the time.

The last landmark of character development is obviously the end. It is when the character returns to their original life, but in the end, it will never be the same, because they are changed and "reborn".

Or, alternatively, it is when the character doesn't return to their old life, but instead, accepts their new life, being almost completely at peace with how they have changed and with abandoning their old life.

Wrapping it up

Development Sketch

Your story begins with your character's reality, their life. Then, something sparks the character to begin their journey. Then, as they begin their journey, they are tested, and their flaws collide with their motives.

Once they overcome their flaws, they are even more changed. Then, they must face something that reignites their flaw.

After overcoming their flaw again, they accomplish their journey and come full-circle changed and reborn, and their life will never be the same.

Development Checks

By the end of the story, check that your character meets most or all of these:

Has accepted, overcome, come to terms with, or learned to deal with their flaw(s)

Is able to see where they began, and sees that their life now is not the same as before

Has made amends with - to any degree - their mistakes throughout the story.

Has acquired new skills and abilities, mental or physical

Now has new views and opinions

If your character doesn't meet very many of these, they might not have developed very much. Remember that a story is sold by its characters and how they change, and how the characters around them react to that change.

I was having a conversation with a scammer the other day.

Me: “Hello.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Hello. This is Bob Bobson from Microsoft Support. We are seeing a lot of virus activity from your device.”

Me: “Oh no. My device? Are you sure?”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Oh yes, we have many reports.”

Me: “Oh jeez. How can I fix it?”

NOT-Microsoft support: “It’s OK sir. We can help you right now. Are you in front of your device sir?”

Me: “Yes. I was just about to use it. I’m glad you called.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Yes sir, we are going to help you. Can you please push the Start button?”

Me: “I think it’s already on.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Okay, sir. Now you want to click on Control Panel.”

Me: “I don’t see that.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Do you see a bunch of information above the Start button?”

Me: “Yes.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “That is your Control Panel.”

Me: “Wow, I didn’t realize it had a name.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Yes sir, now press on Internet Options.”

Me: “Yeah, I definitely don’t see any Internet options. I don’t think I purchased that feature. This is just a cheap one.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “They all have the Internet sir. Press the Start button again.”

Me: “OK, it’s the same as before.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “That’s OK sir. We are going to restart your device. Can you please turn it off?”

Me: “Ummm…I don’t know how. I’ve never turned it off. Since I bought it it just kind of stays on all the time.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “There must be an off button on your device. How do you stop it when it’s running?”

Me: “In those cases I usually press the big button beneath Stop/Cancel.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “OK sir. Please press that button.”

Me: “Ok.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Is your device off?”

Me: “No. The door popped open.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Door? Is there a disc inside the door?”

Me: “No, there’s a burrito.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Why is there a burrito in your computer?”

Me: “Computer? I thought you said this was microwave support.”
