My beautiful arrogant fool, No one knows about my boy it’s like I’m screaming into a void, I have not been inspired to write in so long I don’t even know wtf I want to write but like, gah damn

[surayazayad]

Vague infamous spoilers below the cut but I am literally screamingggggg

Absolutely chomping at the bit to talk to someone about the newest Infamous chapter u guys don’t even KNOW like, u don’t even know at all, it 10000% confirmed my theory that there is more to the band and seven situation than MC is privy to, absolutely, and I can’t WAIT for it to be revealed what exactly, also this chapter w sev was actually so fuckin good, too good even, I fear for the future, all I know is the band doesn’t want to talk about or acknowledge seven, Nikki meanwhile is nearly fully invested in reconnecting, and that combo is making everything worse [the scene after you (redacted) and the bands response to being confused ab why they didn’t even acknowledge it was WILD] it’s funny bc the camaraderie stat is actually p high??? Allegedly, but I Do Not think that is true, I think this is all hanging on by a thread and somehow Nikki is still lowk v attached to the band, so I fear that he’s gonna be really blindsided by how this turns out

"They're just a Kid" Moments

the hero going into battle and a General, who always gave them shit for being inexperienced, sees a big pimple on their face, reminding them that the hero is still going through puberty

an afab hero getting their first period on a mission and freaking out, getting help and products from an older healer, who offers some kind words with an aching heart

a comatose hero being visited by their normal school teacher and classmates, which hits their hero mentors like a slap

at a victory celebration, the hero is denied alcohol as they are not of age

hero making a joking remark like never having even paid a bill or not having a credit card (or something equivalent to the setting)

after a late night strategy meeting, the hero falls asleep on the table. the room falls quiet when a team member picks them up, and looks like a parent carrying their kid to bed

the hero’s voice cracks in the middle of giving a speech. the hero is embarrassed, everyone else is silently looking down

a traitor/spy goes through the heroes stuff and, instead of just weapons or important documents, mainly discovers crumpled notes from friends, doodles, and half-finished sheets of homework

hero sees kids their own age playing, arguing, or laughing somewhere safe, and pauses. someone has to call their name to bring them back to the mission

How to Fix Underwriting

1. Slow down at emotionally important moments.

Big emotions need space to land. If a scene feels rushed, pause the plot briefly to show how the moment affects the character.

2. Add reactions, not explanations.

Instead of explaining what a character feels, show it through physical responses, hesitation, or small actions that reveal emotion naturally.

3. Ground every scene in the senses.

If a scene feels thin, add one or two sensory details—sound, texture, smell, or temperature—to make the moment feel lived-in.

4. Let thoughts interrupt action.

A line of internal thought can deepen a scene without slowing it too much. Thoughts show stakes, fear, longing, or conflict beneath the action.

5. Expand consequences, not events.

You don’t need more things to happen—you need to show what matters. Focus on how events change relationships, decisions, or self-perception.

6. Strengthen setting where emotion peaks.

The environment should echo or contrast the emotion of the scene. Setting is not decoration—it’s emotional reinforcement.

7. Add specific details instead of general ones.

Underwriting often relies on vague language. Swap “they argued” for one sharp line of dialogue or a specific breaking point.

8. Let dialogue breathe.

Short dialogue exchanges without pauses can feel flat. Add beats—silence, gestures, interruptions—to give the conversation weight.

9. Show transitions between scenes.

If scenes jump too quickly, readers feel disoriented. A brief transition helps establish time, mood, and emotional continuity.

10. Clarify stakes early in the scene.

If readers don’t know what can be lost, scenes feel empty. Make sure the character wants something specific and fears losing it.

11. Use the “what are they feeling right now?” check.

After each major beat, ask what emotion is dominant in that moment. If it’s missing on the page, the scene is likely underwritten.

12. Expand scenes that feel “too clean.”

If a scene resolves too neatly or quickly, it probably needs more tension. Messy emotions and unresolved feelings add depth.

Revolutionary

[surayazayad]

No one knows how important gladlands is to me as a story,, everyone just,,, wdym a whole world based off the idea of a post apocalyptic wasteland filled with ppl who are committed to community, and characters who choose kindness, and which also tries to deal with how that world would work, confronts toxic positivity, and values vulnerability, and talks about and gives room for grief
