For the writers struggling to rid themselves of the classic ‘said’. Some are repeated in different categories since they fit multiple ones (but those are counted once so it adds up to 100 new words).
Note: everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No I am NOT telling people to abandon said and use these. Yes I understand that said is often good enough, but sometimes you WANT to draw attention to how the character is speaking. If you think adding an action/movement to your dialogue is 'good enough' hate to break it to you but that ruins immersion much more than a casual 'mumbled'. And for the last time: this is just a resource list, CALM DOWN. Hope that covers all the annoyingly redundant replies :)

your voice calling out to simon was what snapped him out of his relaxed state in the living room.
simon loved it when you call his name. not ghost. not lieutenant riley. just simon riley, or simon or si. your sweet voice calling his name sounded like a wave of melody in his ears.
but just now when you called his name loudly and it echoed in his flat, he felt the alarm bells ringing in his head.
danger.
he tried to act nonchalant when you stepped in front of him with your arms on your hips. your face was cool but simon could feel the anger behind your eyes.
"yes, love? wha' is it?"
"did you eat my pudding?" you glared at him, crossing your arms.
simon internally winced at that. yes, yes he absolutely did. but simon can't just admit it or else he would be the receiving end of your fury (he already did). he had to protect his pride as your loving and considerate boyfriend no matter what.
"no."
you looked at him, unimpressed. there were no words exchanged but the moment simon denied it, his fate was already sealed. your stare said it all.
you're sleeping on the sofa tonight.
and when you walked away, simon's brain frantically tried to come up with excuses and apologies.
Write your novel like a movie, propelling the reader through scenes with relentless momentum. Slash through fluff—each word should drive the plot forward. Let dialogue and action reveal character and backstory; trust your readers to connect the dots. Cut the fat from your prose; immerse readers in vivid, immediate experiences without drowning them in verbose descriptions. Every chapter should feel like a high-octane scene, leaving no room for boredom. Your narrative should be a visual, visceral rush, keeping readers on the edge of their seats, hungry for the next twist, the next revelation. Keep it tight, keep it thrilling.
Hi everyone, welcome to my Kinktober line-up/masterlist! This will be my first ever Kinktober and I’m super excited! I had fun with randomizers to help me select characters and prompts! There will be at least two kinks per character to be paired together for a small fic every single day of October.
All fics will be tagged with "curiouskinks 2022"
Warning: Dark content included! Please mind the tags/content warnings given for each day!
Day 1: Sir Nighteye | Mirai Sasaki x GN!Reader
Cage | Pet Play | Obedience
Such an obedient pet, always carefully following instructions just as he asked. As good pets should–always knowing their place.
Day 2: Dabi x GN!Reader
Photo/Video Recordings | Overnight Bondage
Don't worry about the details, sweetheart. Dabi just needs a little something to remember you by.
Day 3: Mr. Compress | Atsuhiro Sako x GN!Reader
Fear Kink | Asphyxiation | Shock Collars
Atsuhiro seems like such a gentleman, but you're just so naïve. It's one of the things he enjoyed most about finding you and he couldn't wait until you saw his surprise.
Day 4: Curious | Chitose Kizuki x AFAB!Reader
Sex Pollen | Free Use | Dirty Talk
You're a loyal little toy, always available when needed for dear Chitose to let off some steam. What makes you think you have the right to beg?
Day 5: Trumpet | Koku Hanabata x GN!Reader
Eye Contact Restriction | Play Party
You convinced him to let you both go to this party you heard about but only after Koku set up specific rules. You weren't allowed to look at anybody but him. That didn't mean the rule applied to him too.
Day 6: Chronostasis | Hari Kurono x GN!Reader
Somnophilia | Mindfuck
Hari really feels you don't trust him. He sees no reason why you shouldn't. You'll learn quick that his methods are fucked up even when he means well.
Day 7: Edgeshot | Shinya Kamihara x AFAB!Reader
Cuckolding | Contracts | Aphrodisiacs
You and Shinya had a preestablished agreement that allowed you both to fulfill aspects of your respected kinks with mutual consent. You decided to take things a step further, and he gave you his full approval.
Day 8: Lady Nagant | Kaina Tsutsumi x AFAB!Reader
Degradation | Tease And Denial
Kaina thinks that you're absolutely adorable and extremely pathetic when you're begging for her attention. Shame you'll have to work for it.
Day 9: Best Jeanist | Tsunagu Hakamada x AFAB!Reader
Face Sitting | Oral Fixation
You both couldn’t stop glancing at each other’s mouths and it wasn’t long before you both caved. It feels like you can't get close enough to each other.
Day 10: Overhaul | Kai Chisaki x AFAB!Reader
Consensual Non-Consent | Black Sheet Party | Branding
You didn't know the surprise that Kai had planned for this weekend but you were excited when he asked if you remembered your safe word. You certainly didn't expect him to ensure that everyone would truly know you were his property.
Day 11: Spinner | Shuichi Iguchi x GN!Reader
Suspension Bondage | Foot Jobs | Forced Orgasm
You wanted to try out something that piqued Shuichi's interest but getting him to stop wiggling as you tied each knot was harder than you thought. Maybe you'll just need to tired him out.
Day 12: Hawks | Keigo Takami x GN!Reader
Semi-Public | Facials
Being so high in the hero rankings doesn't leave Keigo with a lot of time on his hands, much to his annoyance. Both of you have to take what little time he gets, even if it's in public.
Day 13: Mirko | Rumi Usagiyama x AFAB!Reader
Fucking Machines | Vibrators
Rumi couldn't have asked for a better sight to come home to: walking in on you spread out in the living room with dozens of toys scattered around. She's not wasting any time in joining either.
Day 14: Overhaul | Kai Chisaki x GN!Reader
Vampirism | Medical Kink
Soft cold fingers lay against your neck as Kai checks your pulse point. You talk about your most recent worries in regards to your health, but his eyes never left your neck.
Day 15: Trumpet | Koku Hanabata x GN!Reader
Sex Work | Humiliation | Straight Razor Shaving
Mr. Hanabata had hired you, for one of your weirdest requests, but it was good money. Who'd turn down the opportunity to insult a politician.
Day 16: Lady Nagant | Kaina Tsutsumi x AFAB!Reader
Piercings | Hair Pulling | Clothed Sex
The shirt Kaina was wearing clung to her chest making her nipple piercings even more visible. Your whole body felt hot as your eyes locked with hers. No words were spoken as she gave you one simple beckoning gesture.
Day 17: Chronostasis | Hari Kurono x AFAB!Reader
Sweat | Voyeurism | Dirty Dancing
Hari leaned himself against your back, sweat clinging to your body as you both made as little space between you as possible. Your nails drag along the arm he snaked around your waist, as he reminded you who you belonged to.
Day 18: Overhaul | Kai Chisaki x AFAB!Reader
Orgasm Control | Glove Kink
The only physical touch you'll get is filtered through leather when his fingers brush against your skin before finding your center. You're under strict instruction to not touch him or yourself, and good girls follow the rules.
Day 19: All for One x AFAB!Reader
Kitten Play | Humping | Orgasm Denial
Look at you being such a patient kitty, but he still hasn't given you permission. Your begging is oh so lovely though, but you better not disobey him.
Day 20: Dabi x AFAB!Reader
Breeding Kink | Choking | Mommy Kink
Nails dug into your skin, as your grip around his throat tightened. His pace was bruising, and you almost didn't hear the word that left his mouth.
Day 21: Overhaul | Kai Chisaki x GN!Reader
Tattooing | Slave Auctions
Being bought by the Shie Hassaikai, hand picked by Overhaul, gave you shelter from some of the harsher choices in the auction. You were still their property though, and the fresh tattoo on your chest was a constant reminder.
Day 22: Mirko | Rumi Usagiyama x GN!Reader
Cutting | Knife Play
You press the knife slowly into her flesh, blood slowly dripping following the trail, making a small cut. She hisses at the pain before leaning forward making eye contact, breaths escaping her mouth harshly, and asks for more.
Day 23: Tomura Shigaraki x AFAB!Reader
Begging | Mirror Sex | Collars
A mirror was set up nearby, something Tomura only noticed when you shoved him back onto the bed. He doesn't get to focus on it long before you guide his hands up to lock the collar around your neck.
Day 24: Giran | Kagero Okuta x AFAB!Reader
Lap Dances | Body Worship
Kagero's eyes never left your body as you danced, taking a long drag from his cigarette. He relaxed his arm on the back of the sofa as you walked over, his eyes not knowing where on your body to stay focused.
Day 25: Shin Nemoto x AFAB!Reader
Corsetry | Bondage | Mirrors
Slender fingers carefully lacing up your corset, eyes briefly locking in the mirror in front of you two as he does. Your hands run along his body before you drag the rope along his skin, moving yourself behind him. No words spoken, only silent intimacy.
Day 26: Mr. Compress | Atsuhiro Sako x AFAB!Reader
Chains | Pussy Worship | Impregnation
Cold metal chains wrapped around your wrists, digging in as you move around. Your body was sore and your breathing was rough, as your eyes struggled to stay open. Atsuhiro wasn't joking when he told you that you had a long day ahead of you.
Day 27: Dabi x AFAB!Reader
Hate Sex | Virginity Kink | Dacryphilia
Your constant bitching was pissing Dabi off. You needed to get laid, and if he had to be the one to fuck you then fine. He was surprised to find out you've never done it before. Don't think he's going gentle though.
Day 28: Shin Nemoto x AFAB!Reader
Tease And Denial | Priest Kink | Formal Wear
Everything about this was unholy, Shin knew this– every part of his body burning. He collapsed to his knees, with eyes that looked like they were searching to make you his new religion.
Day 29: Tomura Shigaraki x AFAB!Reader
Pegging | Praise Kink
Tomura's fists were clenched tightly, his nails digging into his skin deep enough to draw blood. Ragged breaths muffled by the blanket as you whisper praise into his ear. You're the only one that gets the privilege to see him like this.
Day 30: Lady Nagant | Kaina Tsutsumi x AFAB!Reader
Guns | Drug/Alcohol Use | Aphrodisiacs
It may have been a bad idea to drink while using this new pill Kaina found, knowing rationally that it would lead to bad ideas. You were waiting on the pill to kick in when you begged Kaina to see her quirk up close. She knew the pill was working while she watched you lick up the length of her gun.
Day 31: Skeptic | Tomoyasu Chikazoku x AFAB!Reader
Daddy Kink | Spit | Human Furniture
How obedient you were, no matter what he told you to do. He was amused to say the least, and had been the past 20 minutes.
Man it really is something to look at old pictures of yourself and realize you were never as ugly and awkward as you believed yourself to be. You were perfect the way you were and if only someone would have just told you that maybe you wouldn't have spent the next ten years destroying yourself
Getting back into drawing but I lost most of my supplies. Does anyone have any suggestions on brands for new supplies? #artquestions #sketches #drawing https://www.instagram.com/p/Brl6ntchzsW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1no8johx8ex5a
