Please do not send me asks for donations
Here's why:
I have NO money to give you
I'm not a popular enough blog that I will give you any reach
I am a minor, and most of my followers are too
It makes me feel extremely guilty
Seeing pictures of injuries or hospitals etc are triggering for me (which are in most intro posts for this sort of thing)
They are always worded in a way that makes me feel like I am a murderer if I don't donate
It makes me feel uncomfortable
I said I don't want them, and my boundaries should be respected
I can't tell what is a bot and what isn't
I get a lot of spam from this. It is disappointing to see 10 new asks in my inbox just to be the same ask for donations over and over
Please, just respect the fact that I have said this.
Edit: To all the people reblogging this, I'm sorry you have had to deal with this too. And yes, you can put this in your pinned post! Stay safe <3
My top three rules for world building:
How are these bitches eating?
How do these bitches stay warm at night?
Who is paying for all of this bullshit?
procrastination level: outlining a new story instead of writing the current one
correction: all but s3 and the movie on yt
Finally I made this thing!! Anyway, today’s the day that Ejen Ali the Movie comes out in Malaysia, so it’s the perfect day to finally post this. It’s a cool show and I definitely recommend it!
(”Ejen” is Malay for “agent”, by the way. Agent Ali)
ik this is a rought estimate but why is it 9m long. make longer
Good trope: Character yelling, "It's not what it looks like!" while doing exactly what it looks like.
Great trope: Character yelling, "It's not what it looks like!" while doing something so unfathomable that the person who interrupted them can't even begin to attempt to figure out what the hell it is they're seeing.
a million times happier in a million years if those people (but worse) stopped existing
"I don't like the fandom content this person posts!"
Then unfollow them.
"I'm not following them, but they're in all the tags!"
Then block them.
"I blocked them but all the people I follow reblog their posts!"
Then unfollow those people.
"But I like their other content!"
Then add the person's username to your blocklist.
"But—"
No. Stop. Listen. You cannot control what other people post or how they interpret your favorite characters or what ships they like. All you can control is your own actions and your public responses. Block them, filter out their username, then post your own stuff to carve out a space for yourself and people like you in your fandom. You will be a million times happier if you focus on what you're doing and what you enjoy instead of on the people you don't like.
Internal conflict writing ideas
Not everything has to be fight scenes
—Losing something of emotional value and remembering its history and why it’s important to the character
—Reliving a traumatic event
—Running into an old friend who’s either completely changed since they’ve last seen each other or far too similar, leaving the character to wonder about how they’ve matured and grown compared to this other person
—Internally deciding if they should voice a fear or concern to the group, even if they might look silly or ridiculous doing so
—Friends vs family in terms of choosing who to follow and listen too
—Feeling unqualified to work on a project or be apart of the adventure
—Romantic feelings for someone they shouldn’t and dealing with how they should proceed internally. (THIS MEANS RIVALS OR FORBIDDEN ROMANCE. NOT ANYTHING ILLEGAL!!!)
—Thinking about mortality and death after being reminded of an late friend/family passing
—Being less talented at something years later when they used to be the best in that field
—Finding an old photo that carries much more emotional significance now than it did X years ago.
writing tips - banter
I LOVE BANTER WE ALL LOVE BANTER HIP HIP HOORAYYYY!!
Banter is a lovely addition to dialogue between characters. It means a lot of different things - sass, genuine insults, flirting....all sorts of options.
But overusing banter can make conversations sound circular. It's a fun 'fluffy' piece of dialogue, but doesn't do the best job conveying plot.
Pedantry vs teasing
Pedantic speech is basically nit-picking. Somebody who can't bear to let anything slide, no matter how small. This is an interesting character trait and one that adds depth, but if it's unintentional it sounds frustrating. Sassy characters are fun, especially when they go off in an inner monologue.
If a character has a quip for everything, it adds a layer of whiny-ness. Sarcasm is a fun way to tease and complain. Constant complaining gets on a reader's nerves after a while. Soon there becomes so much commentary it's hard to dissect what is actually being described.
Unless your OC has no sense of social boundaries, there's usually a break in between jokes to read the room.
How do I know when enough is enough?
Think about the character. If they have that wonderfully sardonic rapport with their peers, that's great! Why do they act like that? Is it a sense of humor? Is there a running joke? When you incorporate the banter, keep it in the confines of those parameters. It'll still enrich the conversation without overwhelming it.
It's a learning curve!!!!!
I like to do it this way:
write the dialogue as banter-y and indulgent as possible. When the scene is finished, I reread and pick out the really funny bits and discard the rest or move it to a different scene.
Sometimes those indulgent character moments help the really good stuff push to the front of your mind. Go for it! You know your story better than anybody else; if it's telling your story the way you want, that's all that matters.
How To Write Trauma With Humanity
This short post is for those who think that they might be so focused on writing trauma well that they accidentally forget to write an actual character.
As someone who has an "interest" (read: deeply passionate and completely consuming dedication) for psychology and character analysis, I feel like sometimes writers don't really know how to write a character with trauma.
To quote a quote:
Don't Write A Traumatized Character, Write A Character With Trauma
I'm just trying to talk about those situations where the only interesting thing that we ever learn about this character is the fact that they have trauma and that's sad.
People tend to think that PTSD and trauma in general is just:
sit in dark, crying inconsolably about death
have nightmares
hide the fact that you have PTSD with broodiness
try to revenge
die tragically or happy ever after
Remember: Nobody has time for that
These people have obligations, responsibilities, family members, loved ones, and dreams that don't allow for this type of lifestyle.
Many people with PTSD *seem* like standard members of society. They sometimes participate in community activities. They have hobbies and vague interests that they put on their dating profile but don't really care about.
People with PTSD and trauma are interesting REGARDLESS of their trauma and trauma-related bullshit, not because.
If the only thing that's interesting about a character is what something else did to your character, it's not really interesting.
What's their dreams?
What do they like to eat in the morning?
What's their values?

why do we dislike the gacha community sm?
(rant!)
okay so if you've been around for a while you've probably heard of the gacha community. unless you've actually been exposed to the community, then it's likely you've strayed away because of the people who create you-know-what with a children's game. I feel like people see the "gacha heat" content more often than not, and most judge the community as a whole based off of the few creators who make "gacha heat".
but actually, there's a lot more to the community then those disgusting people. behind all of that, there's talent. the mini-movie creators are amazing with their ability to tell original stories. those who make edits can animate + edit incredibly well.
there's so much creativity within the community, and if people would be willing to look deeper than just the "gacha heat" content, then they'd see it.
that's mostly it but feel free to give these creators some love!
-redblazer: amazing series and a ton of lgbtq+ rep (transfem character, asexual character in a romantic relationship, polyam rep)
-palecatlover: go check out his series "humaniacs"! it's incredible and and he doesn't get enough love for it :3
-rosyclozy: "the music freaks" creator!

bae I haven't been writing the first chapter yet
writer’s block isn’t real, it’s just your characters deciding to go on strike because they’re mad about how you’ve been treating them
i swear all writers are mentally ill. y'all keep putting your "beloved" characters through the most traumatic experiences ever just to feel something.
