Im All In For Those Ships Where One Is Really Cute And Looks So Innocent But Can Cut Your Neck If You

I’m all in for those ships where one is really cute and looks so innocent but can cut your neck if you piss them off and the other seems all rough and tragic past and all but it’s a big cute puppy who will follow the other to the ends of the earth.

I think this is a question we’ve all been wondering about.

Did you know that organ trade is illegal in every country except Iran?

BODY PARTS THE LIVING CAN SELL

$337 per pint of blood.

$70 for ten inches of hair.

Men’s hair is reduced to an amino acid used in baking goods.

Women’s hair is turned into wigs and weaves.

Bone Marrow

The most valuable part of your body sells for a high of $23,000 per gram. You can donate bone marrow, but it’s illegal to sell it.

Eggs: $12,400 per IVF cycle in U.S.

Egg donation is legal, but some choose to avoid hospital fees and buy eggs illegally or abroad.

Surrogate Wombs: $20,000-30,000 in India, $80,000-150,000 in the U.S.

Kidneys

Make up 75% of the global organ trade due to diabetes, high blood pressure and heart problems.

Theoretically, your body is worth up to $45 million dollars (But that’s only if you could harvest every usable chemical and part from it.)

Corneas: $24,400 implanted

What should I know about creating the turning point for a character? Like when character a learns to be less selfish, and character b learns to be less judgemental.

A turning point is a moment of significant story change whereas characters changing don’t have to have large consequences.

The Turning Point is Major: This is a major part of the story that revolves around the main character. It causes a change in the main story.

Something Must Cause It: Something might be revealed, there might be an “Aha!” moment, or some event might significantly change your character quickly. No matter what it is, the cause of the turning point must be present and it must be strong. This doesn’t mean that it has to be some elaborate scene. The cause of the turning point can be as little as one word, but even just a single word has the power to create a change in your character.

Your Character Must Change: The turning point will change your character in some way. It might change their motive, their means of achieving their goal, their relationship with another major character, their moral alignment, their personality, etc.

It May Be the Black Moment: While there can be several small turning points throughout a story (conflicts cause a change of plans, characters come up with new ideas, stuff that isn’t major), the major one might coincide with the Black Moment. This is when all hope is lost for both the reader and the characters. It comes prior to the climax and appears as though your characters are going to lose. Sometimes this moment causes a significant change in character, relationships, pace, and direction of the story.

Show This Change: Show how your characters change. Don’t pull a cheap sitcom line where your character says something along the lines of: “You’re right. I should’ve been more X because blah blah.” If your character learns to be less selfish, show it in that very moment through dialogue or action.

It Should Advance the Plot: The turning point isn’t just a change in character. It should advance the plot and move the story forward in a new direction. It’s an extra push.
