tagging system

#ask - any ask response! this can include prompt lists, as sometimes someone asks for a list or a question that i feel would be best answered in a prompt list!! if you've sent an ask, it will be tagged with your username! if you asked anonymously, the post will be tagged as anonymous. ask box: OPEN!!

#prompt list - basically what is says on the tin. this tag contains all of my prompt lists, which are basically just (you guessed it) longer collections of prompts. prompt lists that have 31 prompts are tagged with #31 prompts.

#prompt [number] - Each individual prompt is tagged as #prompt [that number prompt]. You can play a fun little writing game by searching this blog for any prompt number between 1-230! [roughly-this IS updated as more prompts are posted]

‼️ DISCLAIMERS ‼️

Some of these prompts may contain dark themes, such as death and violence, and innuendos/inappropriate jokes. However, there will never be any prompts that contain explicit sexual or violent content.

Unless I cite a source, the prompt is 100% my own. Any resemblance to personal or published works is entirely coincidental.

Hello! Can you please please please do some 'sunshine x midnight rain' character prompts plss. <3

of course!!

sunshine x midnight rain prompts

sunshine:

always uses affectionate names, anything from classics like 'sweetie' or 'love' to more... out-there ones like 'peanut butter' and 'oat muffin'

types in lowercase and uses so !!! many !!!! exclamation points !!!!! -> also uses emoticons :) :] >:] <3

shows their emotions outwardly! they always make it very clear how they're feeling

ridiculous sense of humor—they'll just say the silliest, goofiest thing to try and make someone laugh

love languages are words of affirmation and physical touch! -> they're very clingy but they also do a lot of casual touch -> like interlocking arms or leaning on shoulders

they like colors that go well together! their fashion sense leans towards cottage core

they have many many pinterest boards for anything that catches their fancy!! -> they love organizing things

can NOT sit still for long periods of time! they like to run and climb and jump and generally just move their body

midnight rain:

sarcastic sense of humor

driven, ambitious

doesn't really use sweet talk, their love languages are quality time and physical touch -> they are SO clingy

they don't really talk about their emotions often—they write a lot and they have a journal where they just write how they're feeling at the moment or how their day was

totally 100% the mom friend

they're pretty messy and not the biggest fan of organization -> they'd rather spend time drawing or reading or writing

big fan of meditation!

sunshine x midnight rain:

sunshine loving midnight rain not 'despite' their somewhat gloomy outlook but because of it

sunshine loves when they make dark, sarcastic jokes

midnight rain thinks that sunshine's enthusiasm for life is infectious

they have picnics together! midnight rain is a very good baker and they love to lay in the grass together and look at the clouds

sometimes they lay in bed together and midnight rains spends hours describing their dreams for their future

they go on lunch dates!! sunshine usually gets a sandwich and salad, midnight rain usually gets a sandwich and soup -> they usually agree on a drink to share -> BUT sometimes sunshine just REALLY wants a fanta -> and midnight rain just wants sprite or lemonade

do you know how to write a kiss for the first time? ((As in the writer has never written a kiss, not that the characters are having a first kiss

i'm not the best at writing kisses, but i'll try my best to give you some tips!

how to write kisses 💋

Know your characters. Are they soft? Sweet? Vindicative? Angry? Do they hesitate? Are they still unsure about their feelings? Take all of these into account when writing your kiss.

Know what they're feeling. Especially for first kisses, what is each character thinking individually? Is one person excited, elated, and so relieved that it's finally happening, and the other person is anxious because they initiated the kiss and don't know if it's okay?

What kind of kiss is it? Define what you're trying to show with the kiss. Is it their first one? Their last one? Is it a quick peck before leaving the house or a desperate one before going into battle? Make sure you know the mood, as it has a lot of influence in to what emotion each character puts into it.

What happens before and after? Similar to the previous bullet point, figure out what happens before (the buildup) and what happens after (the consequences). For example, if you're writing an existing relationship, maybe the before is just sitting in the kitchen and leaning in and the after is a smile and an "I love you." Maybe you're writing a first kiss after a scary moment and the before is one person rushing to the other, ranting about how they worried the other was dead, and the after is them exchanging a smile full of promise and anticipation.

Find good references. Read kisses. I'm serious. The more you read, the more you know. It can be as easy as searching through ao3 with the tags 'kiss' or 'first kiss'! Some authors will be happy to provide tips and tricks if you leave a kind note and some questions in the comments. I'd also be happy to make a list full of my favorite kiss references, if you wanted to shoot an ask and see that!

It's okay if you're not sure! You mentioned this is your first time writing kisses--and that is ALL good. They're really hard to write!! But remember that you can always get the basis down first--heck, if you're in a scene and decide to include a kiss, you can just make a note that there's a kiss there, and move on. Take all the time and as many drafts as you need!

Thank you for the ask!! I hope this was a little bit helpful! :]
