Werewolf clichés, or lycantropes

[scribeherself]

seeing people say "this trope has been done to death" as if that's ever stopped anyone from eating bread. BREAD HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH FOR LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND WE STILL WANT MORE BREAD. write your chosen one AU. write your coffee shop meet-cute. write your 47th iteration of "there was only one bed" because guess what??? we're still hungry.

Have finally finished something for the soup series again!

I present: Nexus

Two lives, orbiting around one Midoriya Izuku.

From one point of view, he's an anchor, pulling him down.

From the other, he's an outstretched hand, pulling him up.

I fucking love repetitive lines that change meaning over a piece of writing yes slay

foreshadowing done well makes me go feral like there’s NOTHING better than getting to the end a book or an important storyline moment and realising that the author laced information so intricately into their writing that weren’t noticeable upon first read but when you read back sections they’re light giant red flags like wow writing is amazing

the best stories contain two stories: the one you read the first time, and the one you read every time after that

the Writer Mood™ when you've got the shadow of a concept of a scene and a couple lines of dialogue bouncing around in your head like a screensaver and you have to be like buddy, come back when you're something coherent. i can't do anything with this.

affirmations for writers: i know how to write. i have seen sentences before, and i know how to make one. i can identify up to several words and their meanings. i am not afraid of semicolons.

"I Found Out What You Did" Dialogue Prompts

(For when your character finds out someone else made a painful sacrifice, took the blame, or protected them at a cost.)

✩ "You lied to me. To protect me. And you thought that was okay?"

✩ "How long were you planning to let me hate you for something you didn’t do?"

✩ "You took the fall. And you didn’t tell me? Why?"

✩ "You think I wouldn’t have done the same for you? You think I don’t care that much?"

✩ "All this time I thought you betrayed me. And you were bleeding for me in silence."

✩ "You absolute idiot. You beautiful, frustrating idiot."

✩ "I don’t know whether to hug you or punch you."

✩ "That wasn’t your burden. That was ours. You didn’t have to carry it alone."

✩ "You didn’t even give me the chance to stand with you. You just, decided for both of us."

✩ "This changes everything. And also... nothing."

So my favourite version of the Nightwing name origin is from Action Comics #886, where Nightwing is a dragon-like deity from a Kryptonian myth. He was created by Rao "to seek out evil and corruption that hides in the shadows; to pursue it and destroy it."

Very cool.

Anyway, it gave me an idea for an AU: what if, through some comic book shenanigans, Dick became the vessel for Nightwing of Krypton? ...You know, kind of Naruto-style? (Because apparently those old hyperfixations never really leave you xD)

Maybe it would have happened when he took on the name? Idk I just think it'd be neat

Tl;dr: lock up a giant dragon in that boy

setting up a tiny detail in one chapter to pay it off in the next few chapters feels sooo devious like oooh i can't wait to write the small little reference here that 70% of readers will miss but 30% of readers will cheer for

[dialupmodern]

it feels so good loading the gun when you're Chekhov

The good plot twists aren't the ones that are wild left turns out of nowhere, they're the ones that make all the other little things that didn't quite add up before suddenly click
