How to Write a Death Scene
So, you want to write a death scene that hits your readers hard, right? Something that sticks with them, makes them feel something real?
First, give the death meaning. You can’t just toss in a death for the shock factor and call it a day. Even if it’s sudden or unexpected, the death has to matter to the story. Think about how it changes things for the characters who survive. Does it mess with their relationships? Their goals? Make sure this moment sends ripples through the rest of your plot. It’s gotta affect everything that happens after, like an emotional earthquake.
Then, think about timing. You don’t want to drop a death scene at the wrong moment and ruin the vibe. If it’s part of a big heroic moment or a heartbreaking loss in the middle of the story, it should feel earned. The timing of the death decides how your readers will react, whether they feel relief, gut-wrenching sorrow, or are totally blindsided. The right moment makes all the difference.
Next up, focus on the characters’ emotions. Here’s the thing, it's not always the actual death that makes a reader cry, it's how everyone feels about it. How do the characters react? Is the person dying scared, or are they at peace? Are the people around them in shock, angry, or just completely destroyed? You need to dive deep into these emotions, because that’s where your reader connects.
Make sure to use sensory details to pull readers into the scene. What does it feel like? The sound of their breathing, the stillness when they’re gone, the way everything feels heavy and wrong. Little details make the death feel real and personal, like the reader is right there with the characters, feeling the weight of the moment.
If your character has the chance, give them some final words or actions. What they say or do in those last seconds can really hit hard. Maybe they share a piece of advice, ask for forgiveness, or try to comfort the people around them. Even a simple gesture, a smile, a touch, a last look can leave a lasting impression. This is your last chance to show who this character was, so make it count.
Finally, don’t just stop when the character dies. The aftermath is just as important. How do the survivors deal with it? Does your main character fall apart, or do they find a new sense of purpose? Are there regrets? Peace? Whatever happens next should be shaped by the death, like a shadow that never quite goes away. Let your characters carry that weight as they move forward.

What’s even ‘funnier’ is they have one of the more acceptable time travel powers already with the snake, where they can’t fix major problems outside the here and now
Except nope that wasn’t enough they had to also have the rabbit that is basically fanon heaven (can make so many aus) but canon hell (why wouldn’t they use it to fix x, y, z).
Just make time linear! It's only okay to time travel if time is LINEAR!
If we are talking about why Fu didn't use time travel to prevent his mistake or why certain things happened I guess we can chalk it up to a fixed point in time or preordained events that have to happen no matter what and can't be change
Take for example chole getting the bee miraculous only because Marinette lost and the only reason why she lost it is because the lucky charm told her to get it
This is probably not as talked about but there does appear to be a somewhat evidence on the show that suggests free will is limited outside of terrible writing and the lack and limited as well as idiotic use of time travel seems to indicate this

I'm writing a story with 6 main characters. For me, that means 6 POVs. Obviously, this is a lot, but I've read books like the Six of Crows duology and the Blood of Olympus series that are able to pull it off and do it well. Do you know what makes that possible?
Quick Tips for Successfully Pulling Off Multi-POV
1 - Multiple main characters doesn't mean each main character needs to be a POV character. You can have main characters who aren't POV characters and main characters who are. 2 - Multiple POV isn't about characters taking random turns telling parts of the story. POV characters need to be someone who has a unique or solitary viewpoint of certain events or moments in the story, and POV chapters need to be assigned according to which character has the best viewpoint of the critical moment or event of the chapter.
3 - POV chapters do not have to be evenly or rhythmically distributed. Doing so can provide nice symmetry, but you should never sacrifice good storytelling for good symmetry. If Character B needs to have two POV chapters in a row, so be it. If Character D needs to have only three POV chapters whereas other characters average between six and ten, so be it.
4 - Change POV characters only after scene breaks, section breaks, or a new chapter begins.
5 - At the beginning of each new POV section, make sure to include something immediately to let the reader know whose POV they're jumping into. This can be a labeled section, using the character's name or another identifying feature in the first sentence or two, or illustrating something in the first chapter or two that makes it obvious which character's viewpoint the reader is in.
I hope that helps!

31 Days of Plot Building - Wordsnstuff January 2019 Writing Challenge
– This is the third installment of my three part series, dedicated to writing longer stories. I look forward to seeing all of your guys’ responses here using the hashtag #wordsnstuffplotbuilding and over on Instagram, where you can tag me @/writingandsuch.
This challenge begins on January 1st, so 24 hours from when I am posting this. You’re free to do one day’s challenge on another day if your schedule doesn’t allow enough time to complete that day’s challenge. Best of luck to you!
☼ Prompt List ☼
What point of view will you be writing from and why?
Is your novel part of a series? What do you need to plan in order to make it all tie nicely together?
How does each main character serve the progression of the plot?
What genre(s) does your story fit into, and to what extent?
Briefly outline each major subplot in your story, and include their role in pushing the main conflict forward.
How is each character involved in each subplot?
How will each subplot be concluded and at what point in the story?
How does the main conflict frame the message of the story?
What elements of the plot serve as symbols or motifs?
What tone is conveyed throughout the majority of the story?
How do you want the reader to feel when they put down the story?
What major events in the plot serve mostly to develop characters, and how will they accomplish this?
What events in the plot change relationships between characters, either minutely or in a major way?
Describe the personal perspective of the narrator of the story. If it is being narrated, describe the authorial voice the narrator is taking on.
Create a visual model of the structure of your plot, including specification of the major plot points. (Here are 21 examples.)
Pitch your plot to a publisher in 3 sentences or less. Be sure to include what makes your story different than anything they’ve ever seen.
What are the top five obstacles your protagonist faces? How about the antagonist?
What are the main complications or twist in the plot? How do these complications effect your characters and/or their motivations?
How will your conflict cause character growth?
What subplots, plot points, or characters could you remove without sacrificing a smooth plot progression?
Are there any big reveals? If they’re simply there to shock the reader, cut them. If not, state the extent of their purpose to the plot.
Are there any plot points that a reader would look back on in retrospect and recall making more sense now that they’ve read the ending? What are they?
What is the climax of your story, and how does it change the direction of the conflict resolution?
How is the conflict resolution meant to impact your reader’s personal perspective? How will you make sure it does this using events in the story?
What element has endured the most change by the end of the story, and how is this beneficial to conveying the story’s message?
Compare the plot structure of your book to your three favorite books, or your biggest inspiration for it. Assess whether you’ve been inspired, or you’ve subconsciously projected it onto your own work.
In what places within the plot can you add tension, and how?
Calculate how much time passes between the beginning of your story and the end. Is this timeframe reasonable for the type of story you’re trying to tell, or could you lengthen/shorten it to make it better?
Go through the scenes you have so far, and determine whether each one is plot or character driven. There should be a healthy balance of both, so decide where changes may be necessary to even them out.
What is the inciting incident of your story, and why should this make the reader care what happens next?
Share your outline with 15 people and ask them if it reminds them of anything else. If they reply with a yes, you may have taken too much inspiration from something, or your plot may contain too many tropes.
You’re welcome to share your outlines with me ([email protected])

Why voting for Biden is Crucial for 2024
Right now, we're suffering an alarming issue. Next year we will be voting for the presidential election. It will be Biden vs Trump again. One problem. Biden has made some decisions that weren't popular. Because of that, people are somehow saying he's not deserving of their vote. Okay, I want everyone to remember the last time we had a flawed presidential candidate. Hillary Clinton. Like Joe, Hillary spent 8 years working with Obama and helping him heal America. in 2016, she ran against Trump. But she wasn't squeaky clean. So people decided that they would feel better staying at home or tossing their vote. So not only did we fail at getting the first female POTUS? We got trump in the WH and all that hard work Obama did over 8 years got undone. Those who fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat its consequences. We vote Biden in for 2024, he and the Democrats can continue their work of healing America, and Trump can no longer run, and the GOP will self-destruct. Or? We repeat the stubbornness of refusing to vote for a Democrat who is flawed, Trump gets into the office again, and we basically lose America to religious fundamentalists. "But Joe is enabling Genocide!" If Trump gets elected, the genocide of women, POC, LGBT, and atheists will happen in our own backyard! Focus on what's happening right in front of you before you focus on a region 3,000 or so miles away. We can deal with the middle east in full after we make sure that there is still a democratic America left to deal with the Middle East conflict. You can't have your cake and eat it! Compromises are one of the things a leader has to make. And we have to decide what we want to compromise. You have the ability to learn from 2016 and make the right decision this time by voting for Joe, flawed democrat or not. I beg of you...please take it! America's future? Or short-term gratification? Choice is yours. Please don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

Shows you should save physically immediately
Over the Garden Wall -- It's being pulled from HBO Max on August 31 and knowing HBO, there's a chance it'll be pulled sooner
The Owl House -- Disney has tried to bury this show many times (giving it a weird release schedule, cutting the budget, etc) and has even cancelled the show. Also, Disney+ is going to nuke their catalogue soon and I doubt TOH will survive
Amphibia -- I know less about the behind the scenes BS than TOH but Amphibia was screwed over by Disney mainly by poor promotion. Also since one the protagonist is openly bisexual, like TOH, I really can't imagine this would survive.
Steven Universe -- Cartoon Network cancelled Steven Universe and gave it a weird release schedule, it has also just been pulled from HBO Max.
Gravity Falls -- Once again, Disney+ is going to nuke their catalogue at some point in the future and between Wendy being canonically bi, Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland being in a relationship, and Alex Hirsch (being the amazing man that he is) constantly calling Disney out on their BS, I imagine that Disney would be more than willing to nuke Gravity Falls.
and most importantly
Every single show, book, game, fanfiction, movie, etc you've ever loved
We now know that at any moment's notice, streaming services can and will just nuke their catalogue without hesitation. If it's digital, it can be removed and there's a likely chance you'll never see it again.
So, please take some time to save anything you love on an external device. It could be a box set (it can be official or fan-made one), a USB, or anything.
If you have a physical copy of something, it's yours forever and no one can take that away from you.
