The Pocket-Change Prince

Name's Avery, pleased to make your acquaintance. Lost and still looking for a purpose, but then again, aren't we all? I've really found that life's much more bitter than I expected. I've come to see that the world is a much darker place that what I'd hoped it would be. But if I've learned anything as of late, it's that light still exists. You must find balance between the darkness and the light. Life is still beautiful, for those who find that balance.

I love the parallel between the way Aaron and Jefferson is holding up Miles…

Aaron: Swaying from side to side, holding miles legs by the front not all the way around his legs/ankles and miles having to shift his feet to stay steady.

(Is not stable for miles and not completely keeping miles safe and could get him hurt)

Jefferson: Holding still, holding miles legs by having his hands around miles legs/ankles, miles don’t need to shift to be steady. 

(Is stable for miles and makes sure he is safe and make sure he can not be hurt)

I hope Avengers sometimes go to Strange like “I need your help” and he’s like “What’s wrong? Skrulls? Hydra?” and they’re like “I’m congested and it hurts when I swallow.”

You think they ever approach Vision in a similar manner to complain about how the wi-fi router keeps kicking them off the network?

[allofthefeelings]

Well, NOW I do.

Peter Parker calls Steve Rogers at midnight and he shows up at Aunt May’s in full uniform, shield at the ready. “You said something about Nazis? Let’s go.”

And Peter’s standing in the doorway in pajamas and like, pikachu slippers, and he’s like, “The AP history test is tomorrow. I need you to tell me everything you know.”

Alternately, I’m now picturing Wanda going to basically anyone else and trying to talk about some issues she and Vis are having, and universally, they all just go “Have you tried turning him off and turning him back on again?”

There are so many good comments on this post but this one deserves a special shout-out.

"No one will miss me", "I'm better off dead"

When I worked at a non-profit that handled suicide prevention, I had access to the donation records. Each month, a specific man donated 15$ to our organization. It was like clockwork.. same day, same man, he had been doing this for over 4 years. It always seemed odd to me but I never questioned it… until I saw a note attached one month. “For Noah- Dad”

his donation was once his child’s allowance.

I can promise you, they would miss you for the rest of their lives.

Some of the best writing advice I ever got was if you’re stuck on a scene or a line, the problem is actually about 10 lines back and that’s saved me from writer’s block so many times.

[melindawrites]

I feel like I need an elaborate explanation

[ittybittytatertot]

Often times, I find myself stuck on what a character should say next or what should happen in a scene to connect A to B or so on. When this happens, I fall into the trap of writing and rewriting the same few lines over and over, and becoming more and more dissatisfied every time until I give up. 

But problem is almost never actually whatever line I’m trying to write at the moment; the issue is the stuff leading up to the line. Maybe there are structural issues with the set up, maybe I wrote a bit of dialogue that was out of character leading to a discussion that doesn’t make sense, maybe I’m missing a vital piece of exposition or expositing too much. It could be a lot of things, but the important part of the advice is to look back and be willing to consider changes to something earlier in the work (even if you’re really attached to like a piece of dialogue or a particular sentence or something) instead of trying to find a way to force out a scene that’s not working.

[melindawrites]

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for explaining!

[softestvirgil]

This is really helpful!

[epicfangirl01]

Woah! I never thought about that! Thanks!

[caffeinewitchcraft]

I one hundred percent agree with this! Sometimes, when I have really bad writer’s block, I’ll take an hour break and then sit back down to read the entire work over again. 

Whenever I start feeling irritated/confused, I put a notation by that section and keep reading. I mark where the rough patch starts and where it ends. Sometimes the parts after the rough patches are good, sometimes they’re not. Little rough patches are fine, but big ones will need to be addressed in the second edit!

When I get to the point where I’m in a rough patch that doesn’t end, I know I’ve found where I need to re-write. I go back to the start of that rough patch and copy everything from that point forward. I put the whole rough patch in a “graveyard” file (in case I need it later), then delete it from the main document.

Then I start writing again. It works 7/10 times!

the one problem i have with people my age and younger is that a lot of us do not have hands on hobbies. like i have spoken to so many people my age who go to work, go to school and then fuck around on their phone/computer for hours and then ???????? like no wonder ur depressed and have low confidence in urself. u need to get ur hands on something, feed those dopamine receptors! learn how to play guitar, garden, scrapbook, fucking make model trains. i don’t give a shit, MAKE SOMETHING!!

it feels better than drugs when i finish making a thing—and then show it off or gift it.

and then so people my age say to me ‘well—i can’t draw/paint/knit/etc. like you can. my stuff would be terrible.’ yeah, well duh—a part of developing skill is sucking at something and then practicing it over and over and over again until you suck less. u’ll have a hard time feeling lonely or bored when you can’t stop thinking abt a technique you want to try or something you want to make for someone else. making things has SAVED MY LIFE. it gave me a reason to keep living day after day when i wanted to die.

making things have improved my generational relationships (when i worked for the newspaper i would talk to customers abt jamming recipes or cross-stitch, one of my grandmas always gives me pattern books and tell me abt when she knitted things for mom, my other grandma is giving me a wedding quilt that HER grandma gave her 50 years ago because she knows i will appreciate it). it also got me likeminded friends who also make things.

take a ceramics class! pick up water colors, bake cakes! learn to work on cars! make soap. DO SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T INVOLVE STARING AT A SCREEN.
