My biggest tip for fanfic writers is this: if you get a character's mannerisms and speech pattern down, you can make them do pretty much whatever you want and it'll feel in character.

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

Worry less about whether a character would do something, and more about how they'd sound while doing it.

I don't remember where I saw this piece of advice so I can't credit it, unfortunately

But it was along the lines of "instead of asking whether something is out of character, ask 'what would it take for this character to do this'"

Which I think fits really nicely with this advice of making the actual action itself also feel in character

Another video proving that Biscuit was the chillest and cuddliest bean - she was such a sweet girl, definitely a great example that rats are amazing pets regardless of where they come from ❤

ICE violently detained a Virginia mother while she was driving her daughter to school because she couldn’t recite her Social Security number from memory.

'When she stumbled, the agent got flustered and just lunged at her,' said her 16-year-old daughter. The mother immediately showed proof of her legal status: work permit, Social Security card, driver’s license, and car registration."

"ICE arrested her anyway.

Jaykie Funez-Andrade is now being held in Rockingham County Jail with no criminal charges, reportedly as a 'courtesy' to ICE. The arrest occurred on Route 11 North in Harrisonburg, VA.

'I want this video out there because I want my mother home,' her daughter said."

This behavior by federal agents is criminal.

some pages from my 2024 zine 'neurodivergent pop-ups'

[small-strong-bookish-butch]

Image description: four pages of a digital zine with text "Oh no: social cue not found", warning signs and speech bubbles laid right over each other that say "a random alarm is going off somewhere", "and then he did", "what the fuck?", "it is so bright in here", "you have no idea what they are saying," "you are too hot", "your clothing tag is itchy", a browser screen popup "warning: you are not talking enough, warning: you are talking too much" and "hang on: are you sure you want to interrupt?" with yes or no option.
