Let me know more terms of endearment in your languages! And please correct me if I'm wrong somewhere.
Please note that they are not all romantic. You can ask in the replies, so a native speaker can answer if it's appropiate for the type of relationship you want your characters to have.
Me (knowing I should just write and not edit now):
Trope of the day is... injured one comforting the others. They are the ones who need to be taking care of, but they are still the one trying to comfort their loved ones. Goes hand in hand with being half-dead and telling their crying loved ones that they look terrible.
Prompt #1234
"Unfortunately, I love you more than I love myself."
Prompt #1236
"Sometimes I really want to strangle you."
"What's stopping you? Is it my annoyingly great charm?"
"The law, I guess."
Prompt #1241
"What are you?"
"Why does it matter, as long as I'm yours."
Prompt #1242: 5 + 1 Things (19)
Five times Character A and Character B were on opposite sides, and one time they stood together.
I control the narrative, I whisper to myself like a lunatic while the characters in the story I'm writing are not following my orders.
Prompt #1245
"I'm not used to being chosen."
How to write liars
Liars make stories twist, characters clash, and readers question everything. But not all liars are created equal. If you're writing one, ask yourself: what kind of liar are they? Because there’s more than one way to deceive…
Many types of liars
the one where you know they are lying
the one where you never know that they are lying
the one who lies about everything
the one who lies to themself
Writing Tips:
Know why they lie
Every liar has a reason. Is it survival, manipulation, shame, love, power, or habit? Understanding their motive helps you shape their behavior and emotional responses.
Use subtext and contradictions
Liars rarely say "I'm lying." Instead, they contradict themselves, dodge questions, or over-explain. Let their words and actions subtly clash.
Let the lie shape the plot
A good lie should ripple through the story. It creates misunderstandings, false alliances, and dramatic irony. Use it to mislead characters and readers.
Use silence
Sometimes the most powerful lie is omission. What a character doesn’t say can be just as revealing as what they do.
Play with perspective
Use unreliable narrators or shifting POVs to blur the line between truth and fiction. This keeps readers guessing and deepens the mystery.
Show consequences
How are characters reacting to someone lying to them? What happens if people find out a character lied?

What is... BAMF?
Maybe you have seen this tag before when reading fanfiction. The story is including a BAMF character. But what is that?
BAMF stands for (excuse my language) BadAss MotherFucker.
It's a character that is not holding back. They are extremely cool, extremely powerful, extremely... badass.
Even if the character is already impressive in their original source material, you can expect them to level up even higher in a story with this tag.
Whose you're favourite BAMF character?
Prompt #1248
"You're wasting your time."
"It's mine to waste. And you're worth it."
We're the masterminds behind our stories. We're playing God, we're the puppetmasters - and we're also the ones getting stuck in every scene, wishing these characters would finally just take over and decide for themselves for once.
1st time thinking about The Character while falling asleep: what if he uhhh. Didn’t have a shirt on
50th time thinking about The Character while falling asleep: ive been pondering his abortion
