me when i spend a long time drawing something that really does not look good at all and is honestly too ugly to want to share with anybody but i still recognize that it was worth the time and effort because i still gained practice and experience from it that will contribute toward improving my skills

me when a character who was completely powerless gains power and proceeds to lose themselves in the intoxication of it before coming to and being horrified by their own capacity for bloodlust

[mercurialmagpie]

hot take but people who are serial flirters. are my biggest ick 😭😭

[mercurialmagpie]

working on maica’s backstory and I think I may have made my most tragic dnd character ever which is. SUCH a feat considering my track record of sad dnd pcs. he’s so tragic that i have a deal with the dm that if he survives the one shot he’s about to be thrown into i *must* write him a happy ending afterwards 🫡

little ways to hurt your OC

Have them be excluded and make it sting.

Give them something they want...but have the experience go wrong.

Push them out of their comfort zone and make it embarrassing

Test their patience. Have one specific thing they don't like keep happening. Use repetition but let the meaning evolve.

Purposely mislead them into believing something good is happening, then go: SIKE

Attach a bad memory to a specific food or object. Have someone accidentally bring that food/object/element up.

Bad ritual. Something they never look forward to happens and they can't leave without real consequence.

Have people keep requesting things from them, and have your OC do those things (and its a hassle)...only for the person requesting them to do stuff to not actually care that much.

Have people forget about a thing they care about

Or worse: have someone fail to follow through on a promise.

Follow for more writing tips and launch-points.

when I was in middle school I would stress about being an adult because I was really into my fandoms and I was worried that adult me wouldn’t be. or I assumed that I would be too old for the stuff I liked then and find it cringe. but, dear 11 year old me. I’m happy to report a decade later that I’m exactly the same person you were then and we’re still into the same stuff. except it’s better because now I have adult money to fund our interests. you’re welcome :)

truly some people have no genre savviness whatsoever. A girl came back from the dead the other day and fresh out of the grave she laughed and laughed and lay down on the grass nearby to watch the sky, dirt still under her nails. I asked her if she’s sad about anything and she asked me why she should be. I asked her if she’s perhaps worried she’s a shadow of who she used to be and she said that if she is a shadow she is a joyous one, and anyway whoever she was she is her, now, and that’s enough. I inquired about revenge, about unfinished business, about what had filled her with the incessant need to claw her way out from beneath but she just said she’s here to live. I told her about ghosts, about zombies, tried to explain to her how her options lie between horror and tragedy but she just said if those are the stories meant for her then she’ll make another one. I said “isn’t it terribly lonely how in your triumph over death nobody was here to greet you?” and she just looked at me funny and said “what do you mean? The whole world was here, waiting”. Some people, I tell you.
