Im A Fucking Sucker For The Character Gets So Badly Injured That They Cant Think Clearly And Start Calling

im a fucking sucker for the “character gets so badly injured that they can’t think clearly and start calling for help in a distressingly vulnerable way.” characters who start using nicknames for their friends they haven’t used since they were kids. characters who start begging for their brother they haven’t seen in years to be there. characters who would usually use their parents’ names or call them mother/father/etc crying out mama when they go down. u understand.

🌈 Rainbow: What is your favorite character dynamic to write? Give us an example from your WIP!

Thanks for the tag!

I like a lot of character dynamics, lol.

But I would say that one of my favorites is the Sunshine & Moonshine, and its variants:

From What Lurks In The Hollow: Christine Nespor/Dylan Millihan (Chaotic Sunshine/Withdrawn Moonshine)

From Grim City Chronicles: Vince & Peggy (Angry, Desperate Sunshine who will Stab Someone & his bubbly yet disturbingly quiet Moonshine cousin)

From Arrow of Nightfall: Isolte & Kiaran (Anxious Sunshine/Emotional Wreck Moonshine)

From Supernova Initiative: Jack Tithus & Deimos Soll (Selflessly Self-Destructive Sunshine & Gult-Ridden Morally Grey Moonshine)

Etc!

What’s their opinions on PDA?

Thanks for the ask, @illarian-rambling! Let's go with some couples from What Lurks In The Hollow.

Ask Game Here

Zach Taylors & Amy Millihan

Holding hands, hugs, quick kisses, cute little handshakes and stuff, they love that, they really, really do. HOWEVER. Neither of them like when people get too into Public Displays of Affection - like when they see those couples that full-on french kiss in a public square or get too handsy with each other, it gives them The Ick, and they so hate that.

Dylan Millihan & Christine Nespor

It depends. Dylan's generally really reserved (a very grumpy version of being shy, like "what the fuck you looking at?" when strangers stare or something), and isn't a really touchy-feely person, he doesn't deal with too much touch well. He's more the kind to show his love through quiet actions or begrudging reminders for the other to take care of themselves. Christine is a very hyper extrovert that tends to go all in into relationships, and is very much a hugger and cuddler, but she's very respectful of boundaries. As they interact, Dylan's slowly starting to like hugs - but not too much, and not all the time - and Christine is learning alternative ways to show affection other than physical touch.

Liam Steele & Savvanah Hahn

HECK YEAH, they're into it. They're generally very "loud" with things that they do - in the sense they have a very strong presence that ends up getting all the attention when they're around - and that includes their relationship. They're rarely seen without the other, and they usually walk either holding hands or with their arms around each other's waist. They kiss, lean into each other while playing at an arcade machine, they cuddle, they blast their favorite love songs as loud as possible when in Liam's car. Like "HECK YEAH WE LOVE EACH OTHER, WHAT OF IT? (:". Some people are too quick to judge and think they're too "clingy" to each other but Liam and Savvy are just generally best friends who adore each other's presence - they're The Power Couple of this book.

Erin Niemand & Indigo "Indie" Lauriel

Nope. Erin's a very introverted loner who, for the longest time in her life, didn't have many friends and/or proper social skills. Indie's an extrovert, but she's a more layback kind of extrovert who just generally does her thing and enjoys life. Neither of them are very much into physical touch BUT they do have a secret handshake that only each other knows later on in the story. They do like cuddling while watching movies, but never in public - being too romantic-y in public just feels awkward for them both.

Conner Watsen & Maeve Fernandez

They don't mind it - they'll kiss in public, hug, just generally sit close to each other, give eachother piggyback rides, etc. Both of them just generally mind their own business and live their own lives no matter what others think, but much like Zach & Amy they don't like when people get too into it in public like, "okay, it's wonderful y'all love eachother but goodness that's a bit...intense". It just feels uncomfortable, but they generally just quickly acknowledge it and then carry on like they'd never seen anything amiss.

Take your writing motivation dose for today:

You will finish that WIP.

You will find people that like it.

You will be recognized by someone as a living legend that you are.

It may not happen today, but it will happen. Stop the worries, stop the overthinking. You got this, you goddamn living legend.
