Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

Edit: People, I’m an English and creative writing double major in college; I understand that there’s nothing wrong with simply using “said.” This was just for fun, and it comes in handy when I need to add pizzazz.

related to my previous post: this is my POV on the eternal "it is/n't that deep" debate always going on with everything, as someone who now just goes "cool okay whatever" and leaves when something disappoints me instead of wasting time raging about what went wrong or waiting around for it to get better. i think it's good to have all those crazy what-if thought experiments, but i also think you need to make sure you're not setting yourself up for heartache! be nice to yourself and be nice to other people (as the moral so often is...)

me: we’re getting close to artfight season i should start prepping 

also me: what if i made ted lasso dressup dolls

(outfit inspo pics and img IDs under the cut)

[image ID: three pages of digital fanart for the show Ted Lasso. The first contains: a colored halfbody of Ted in his Richmond gear and visor, a tiny doodle of Dani Rojas with "fútbol is life!" written over it, a bust of a smiling Sam Obisanya, a little "Believe" sign, a drawing of Jamie, Roy, and Keeley holding hands (Roy looking grumpy while Jamie and Keeley grin at each other across him), and a drawing of Ted falling asleep on Rebecca's shoulder while she says to someone offscreen, "If you wake him up, I will fucking kill you".

The second page is dedicated to the artist's interpretation of Trent Crimm's daughter. There's a colored bust of her, a brown-skinned little girl with dark curly hair, big round glasses, and a huge grin with a missing tooth, labeled "Alia Crimm, agent of chaos". There's a cartoony full-body doodle of her with arrows labeling multiple things on her body: "Hair(TM)", "lotsa bracelets", "big round glasses", "patched up overalls", and "Converse". There's a drawing of Ted crouching down to smile at Alia, with a speech bubble with Trent's tired face coming from offscreen that says "Two of them..." There's a doodle of Trent and Alia's hands with matching bracelets, and finally a drawing of Trent holding a sleeping Alia in his arms.

The third page is posed "dress-up dolls" of Rebecca, Keeley, Ted, and Trent. Rebecca is wearing a pale pink dress with strawberries on it and bright red shoes. Keeley is wearing an orange, pink, and yellow flannel over a bright pink shirt and baggy orange pants. Ted is wearing a leather jacket, biker's gloves, and jeans, with sunglasses on his head. Trent is wearing a pale blue shirt open over a white turtleneck, the sleeves rolled up to show his bracelets, tucked into a pair of wide-legged brown pants.

The four images under the cut are the reference images for the four outfits described above. End ID]

F2U character sheet templates

A friend of mine was having trouble making reference sheets for her characters, so I made quite a few!

I figure these could be really useful if anyone else was struggling too, so these are all F2U

They could be really useful for Artfight, so keep that in mind :)

------Edit------

HOLY SHIT I did NOT expect this to blow up this much!! Thankyou!!

Here's my artfight! I really hope I get to attack some of the people that actually used my template, that would be so cool!

conversations around whether fanfiction is better when written in the 1st or 2nd or 3rd person — & particularly the common conclusion that it's universally better & more natural sounding to write in the 3rd person — are always so annoying to me because they almost always entirely neglect to address what person the original work is written in & how that effects the "naturalness" of how fanfiction might sound to the reader. which I feel like is a really crucial element! like 3rd person is more usual & so often sounds more natural just because most stories tend to be written in it, and as such it also tends to be the default for fanfiction of things that aren't narrated in writing (e.g. a tv show) — but the thing is like. no one I think would actually find it particularly unnatural sounding to read a fanfiction of the original sherlock holmes stories (for example) written in the first person from watson's pov, because that's the register the original stories are written in. in fact after having read your way through all of conan doyle's stuff first you might actually find it weird to read about these characters the 3rd person. and likewise despite how near-universally reviled the 2nd person seems to be for fanfic I think it would actually be pretty natural to read in, say, a disco elysium fanfic, because that's a story you've already been hearing in the 2nd person all this time. [that one post voice] I think it depends!

Second person is how roleplaying campaigns are written. Anyone who's ever listened to Critical Role or Dimension 20 should be familiar with the cadence.

It's also utterly spectacular for stories where the protagonist talks to themself a lot. It's highly effective at getting into the protagonist's head when the narration directly says things like "your glee is almost overwhelming, but you're careful to keep it away from your face."

Reached out to a biologist to request some info about an extinct species of freshwater shrimp and the email she sent in response was not only lovely and helpful but also kind of poetry to me? People who study invertebrates are actually the most hopeful and compassionate scientists that we have.

I designed a critter 🐛

[possessable]

also facades and false identities are so fun . many such variations.

someone accidentally slipping further into a facade than they intended . someone purposefully retreating further into a facade . someone accidentally dropping their normally impeccable facade for a moment . someone purposefully letting their facade down as a taunt or mockery or in a genuine way because they're finally in a situation where they don't need the facade anymore . someone whose facade really is just a tool that they have complete control over and it never falters or fails . someone whose facade is the opposite and they're having a really bad time trying to maintain their facade or trying to maintain their true self under the facade . many such good options. all fun.

i love you facades and false identities and presentations of the self and separation of aspects of the self and
