Spoilers For They Both Die At The End

Spoilers for “They Both Die At The End”

Who gave Adam Silvera permission to end the book this way and break my heart??? How dare he show us Rufus after Mateo’s death and then end it like this????

no one loves animal crossing music more than felix 😂🥰

my honest reaction when the people in my class asked if Skz was the group that sung dynamite

People that don’t listen to kpop know nothing about it and it shows

Story Idea

okay, I had this idea and want people’s opinions. Would you read a story about two girlfriends, and then one of them dies in a car crash towards the start of the story. The other girlfriend (who was also in the car but survived) feels guilty about surviving, and the rest of the story shows her going through the stages of grief, but instead of acceptance, it all becomes to much for her to handle and in the end unalives herself to be reunited with her gf. Please let me hear your thoughts, idk if it’s worth it to work on the story or not.

Describing Food in Writing

I love food. And drinks.

When I think of the HP series, I recall the feasts. Treacle tarts and puddings. Butterbeer. Food trolley on the train and chocolate frogs in the Gryffindor common room.

Foods helps readers engage with the story, so it's good to know how to describe them.

Just one Adjective

There's really no need to go overboard with how a particular food tastes. If it's something that your readers are already familiar with, just add in a small detail.

Are the breakfast eggs yellow or white, clumpy or fluffy? Salty or bland? Grainy or silky?

Just one adjective/detail is enough.

Think of the Character

Take note of each character's palate while you describe. Especially if you're writing in 1st person POV.

Someone in your cast may be a culinary artist and another content with spray cheese.

Food descriptions can reveal a lot about character's personality and lifestyle.

Watch Food Shows

Master Chef. The Great British Baking Show. Aesthetic character baking channel on YouTube.

Food shows usually have a section where they assess/review the food made, which might be helpful.

Recently, I've noticed that 1-minute food reviewers on YT Shorts are pretty good at graphic yet succinct taste descriptions!

Ratatouille

I'm not kidding!

If you ever want to get into the mind of someone who is passionate about food, or need inspiration yourself - check this movie out.

Just watching Remy's passion and the magic of the culinary arts will boost your writer soul with inspiration (or something like it, anyway).

Experience Restaurants

The best research of all is probably experience, so the next time you eat a meal, challenge your palate.

Think about how it looks, tastes, and feels in you mouth.

If possible, try dishes your characters would eat and discern what they would detect. What elements of the disk would your character like?
