The Horse Miraculous gave him a dark brown suit, white hair pulled back like a mane. He detransformed quickly before Plagg could make a quip.
That didn’t stop him, though. “Nice of you to finally canter in here, Pops.”
I love this little exchange! The thought of Gabriel with a ponytail (shudders) and plagg punning at him and Gabriel knowing he looks dumb and trying to drop it as fast as possible… (and I know the holders supposedly design the suits themselves, but I like to think Kaalki did a little sabotage). I love how you sprinkle humor throughout the story, knowing the right places to add it so it adds to and doesn’t take from the mood of the scene- whether it’s a tense mood or a sweet or emotion in between.
So my first question is do you see yourself as a funny person?
And secondly, how in the world do you write a character who is not like you? You said somewhere that Felix and Lila are hard to write because they are both “smarter than me.” I’ve always wondered how authors do this…
lolol odnlb plagg HATES gabriel 😂 he will take any excuse to mock the shit out of him! although this gabriel has been stuck in a i-deserve-everything-bad-that's-happened-to-me mindset, so he would just take it 💀 kaalki DEFINITELY sabotaged that man though. she wasn't about to let gabriel walk around looking good!
thank you i'm glad you like my humor 🥺 i think i'm averagely funny honestly! i'm probably funnier on paper than in real life, and i know lots of ppl funnier than me in both ways. but it does make me feel really good when people laugh at my jokes 💖🤩 especially if they work in my fics!
felix and lila ARE smarter than me okay. to write them i have to plan out their dialogue and what they say vs what they think and what each of them are thinking during that conversation or exchange. their minds work more quickly and make connections better than i do, but that doesn't mean i'm not capable of getting there on my own eventually! luckily i get to make them go at my pace, and let their brainpower show through the deductions they make with the information given.
as to writing characters different to me... idk! i just like putting myself in others heads/shoes. you've seen my enneagram thing so you know as a 9 i just do this anyway. it's all about focusing on what they think and how they think it and how they're going to react. i literally go into their head and think their thoughts and feel their feelings when i'm doing this! it really is like being possessed.
thank you so much for saying all these nice things<333 most of all ty for thinking i'm funny! favoriting this ask forever 🤩
