Paigegonerogue - Paige: Speaking Like A Normal Person

Hi Paige!!

👓 What helps you focus when you write?

💭 What inspires you and your writing?

Hi Rachel!!

👓: I mean, I’m not sure lol. I feel like I’m a very spacey person, so when I get in the zone I just sorta… write… like, my mind gets all quiet—it’s the best I love it

💭: I like compliments✨ I mean there’s a ton of other reasons: It’s an outlet, it’s something I always want to do, and I just love stories. I love telling stories. But most importantly… compliments✨

Ellie learns that Tommy’s afraid of bees (he isn’t allergic or anything, they’re just weird and fuzzy and creepy) and when she’s mad at Tommy she’s just start aggressively buzzing at him.

“C’mon, Els, I’m just looking out for you!”

“BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ”

I love how TLOU HBO uses colors…

Before Sarah dies the colors are a lot warmer, a lot “kinder”, almost

But when she dies, and it transitions to present day, the colors get colder. More stark.

But Ellie’s colors are warm

And you see that contrast…

…then you see their color schemes come together

I’d love to answer some questions!

Uninfected Scouts: There's been an outbreak! Last night, several Scouts contracted the Cordyceps infection! If they send you a DM or an ask, change your bio to include "Infected."

Infected Scouts: Once you're infected, spread the Cordyceps infection to Scouts who don't have "Infected" in their bio. You can infect fellow scouts by sending a DM or ask.

List of Scouts in comments here

Example message: "Bad news, Scout. You're infected. 🤒 If you want to join the clicker game, add 'infected' to your bio!!"

(Earn by infecting Scouts. Remember to tell uninfected Scouts to change their bio!)

The first scout to collect all four will get a ✨️Scout Spotlight✨️ where they can introduce themselves and promote whatever works they'd like!
