Write a scene where the weather actively complicates a character's goal. Storms, wildfires, snow, ice, etc are all fair game.

Person A: "I thought you said they were nice."

Person B: "No, I said they were kind. Very different."

Person A: "Not at all different."

Person B: "I will admit that there is usually overlap of the two. Usually."

You can pretty much take any random ordinary location and the name of any random figure of greek mythology, and you've already got the starting point of an intriguing character concept.

Truck stop Icarus - damn boy, what happened to you?

Alehouse Persephone - it's always warm where you go and cold when you leave

Train station Odysseus - wherever you're trying to go, you're probably on a detour

Drunk tank Pandora - what can of fresh hell did you open?

Office Cassandra - she fucking told y'all that it would end like this

Detroit Zeus - I know nothing about you and I already hope I'll never meet you

[the-haiku-bot]

Alehouse Persephone

- it’s always warm where you go

and cold when you leave

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

in conversation about white people who go to Japan and expect their knowledge of anime to culturally carry them, I was once posed with “it’s like if there was a Japanese guy who was obsessed with spongebob and came over here and thought he could get by just communicating in spongebob quotes.” This is a false equivalence because if such a man existed we would crown him king. We’d love him. Americans would fucking love that. sometimes I get sad that this isn’t a real guy I can invite to a party.

I like when fic length/book length/movie length is its own punchline

[phantomrose96]

characters: Ah, I'm so glad that's all over now :). But luckily that's done and dealt with and we can all resume our normal lives now :)

fic length: Chapter 9 out of 48

A Random Collection of Meet Cutes

bartender finding a guest curled up, sleeping, under the bar

coworkers also being neighbours but one only works nightshift and the other only works dayshift and they keep meeting in the hallway

cosplayers show up at a con dressed as characters from a ship and everyone keeps thinking they’re together and wants pictures with both

ikea worker asked by frantic single parent to find their lost kid

their pets banged at the park and now they need to figure out the custody arrangement

interrupting a date with someone else that is going terribly, pretending to be a friend and walking them home

set up on a blind date but accidentally chatting up the wrong person

flirting to get into an event when they have no invite, but deciding that this is actually more fun than the original goal

our balconies are right next to each other and i tried to have a calm moment of peace sO CAN YOU TURN THE FUCKING MUSIC DOWN, YOU FU-- wait why are you crying? oh no, did i interrupt your main character moment?

“Did you just laugh at my joke?”

“I still think you're an asshole, just a funny one.”

[writersisland]

physical intimacy

long hugs, melting into each other

comparing hand sizes

burying face in their stomach when laying down

several kisses in quick succession

hugs from behind

huddling up on a cold day

rolling in bed until they are slotted together

tickling

nose / cheek / forehead kisses

stealing their hat and putting it on

forehead to forehead

smothering them with their own body

carrying them around their apartment

head resting on their shoulder

climbing in their lap

checking them out when they change even after years together

holding hands in a stressful moment

slapping their ass in passing

tucking their hair back

casual brushes while passing them

massages

kissing the palm on their hand and then nuzzling into it

playing with the other's fingers

lifting them and setting them on the counter to have better kiss reachability

burying face in the crook of their neck

playing with their hair

spooning

removing their make up and hair products for them after a hard day

jumping in their arms upon reunion

the taller leaning on the shorter's shoulder like an arm rest

“your friend is dead, and their corpse is inhabited by something only you can see for what it truly is" is already good horror. but "you begin to love the thing that wears their face"? the blasphemy of it. terror turning into desire. grief turning into longing. being enticed by what should repel you. it twists the knife deeper, because the horror is not based on deception anymore. the fear comes from recognizing the monster in its raw form and finding beauty there. you're not clinging to scraps of your friend, you're surrendering to something other, something wrong, and loving it. you're not holding onto a ghost of the past, it’s the monster itself that you choose
