I don’t know if this is an adhd thing, but whenever i’m near a pen I just get the insatiable need to start disassembling it.
Holy shit, how tired was I this morning. I do not recall any of this.
No offense to writers, but why does everything have to be a fucking love story?
I have found like 2 posts that have actually helped with my style of writing and one of them was literally just grammar. Whenever I go on tumblr looking for writing advice, all I see is relationship writing prompts. Speaking of those “writing prompts”, they are literally just singular lines of context or dialogue. The only person that actually follows the correct definition for writing prompts every post is @writing-prompt-s , which are great and almost every one of them has so much potential, each one of those is an entire, self contained story.
Writing does not require a close relationship ship, nor does it need complex character arcs. People are not malleable, humanity is an extremely stubborn species that does not like change. Too often do I read stories where the villain becomes good at the end, or they are defeated and the MC(s) live happily ever after. There is a reason why the big bad is evil, whatever that reason may be, it is what drives the antagonist. Consistency in what drives a character is important for that character to seem believable, despite what people tell you, people rarely, truly change.
For example, if the villain became evil because of a traumatic childhood, abusive parents, and or neglect, the protagonist giving them the attention they needed as a child wouldn’t change the antagonist. This realization came to me after watching the boys, Homelander is given all of the love and attention in the world by hundreds of millions if not billions of fans and even then he’s constantly on the verge of snapping. When a person is deprived of attention, they either think they don’t deserve it or that it’s their right. In both cases, if you then give that person attention and passion, they will then want more. They were at rock bottom for the longest time and have most likely been in denial about it their whole lives, when you bring someone like that back up they find out that the feeling they previously thought unimportant felt good. They might stay with the protagonist for a bit to hold on to that feeling, but the moment they find out they can get that same feeling from others, suddenly the person that first showed you compassion is no longer unique. This is a very slippery slope to addiction, and addiction can and will make a person do anything for just one more fix of the only thing they care about.
I used this example because it is of the introduction of emotional drive to a story that had lacked it previously, some stories are meant to be love stories from the beginning and that’s fine, but when it is put into another type of story it can completely take over the plot and thus overrides any foreshadowing or themes the plot originally had.
(Spoilers for the boys, skip to the next paragraph if you haven’t seen it yet.)
Going back to Homelander, he is a character driven by attention, he’s already addicted to it. Homelander goes through several relationships in the show, be it real or fake, but none of them help him or change him as a person in any way. The boys is a beautiful example on the human mind’s need to be loved and how it can never truly be fulfilled. In the end, Homelander doesn’t get defeated or proven that it doesn’t have to be this way, instead he listens to his son and walks away. Even though he hasn’t changed completely, he now has a drive that is greater than his need for attention, making sure his son gets the childhood and love he never did. At the end of the show he discovers that love is mutual and that you don’t need everyone’s love to be happy. Homelander learn’s that making sure his son is happy can fulfill him greater than anyone else loving him ever could. Even after all of this, in the very last seen he murders someone and gets praised for it, his old motives and ideals are still there but he doesn’t need them.
However, sometimes love is forced into scenario’s that are completely illogical. Morals are based on a mental line you draw somewhere in your mind, but once you kill someone, suddenly you’ve just crossed the last line. You can make excuses, but ending a life is a one way road. No matter how hard it was to end that life, it will always be easier the second time. Sooner or later that second time will come, nobody teaches you how to forgive yourself because nobody really knows how. Love loses meaning when the person giving it can be ending so easily, don’t believe me? Do you remember the feeling you got from succeeding at something for the first time? Did ever feel that way for doing it again? Life is an endless loop of winning and losing, but once you overcome that final hurdle, what then?
The villain in a story can often be depicted as bored from a life of killing, there’s no going back, so more often than not they just stop. Defeated by a hero, killed by their own machinations, or just simply ending their own life, it doesn’t matter. They’ve killed so much at this point that they don’t fear death and often long for it. I hate it when I read a book and the character is redeemed from this state. Whenever I see a story end with a “happily ever after” I just sigh, it’s completely fine to have a b plot relationship, but it should never be the ending unless it’s actively a romance novel.
Sorry for the tangent, but I have just read one to many “action and adventure” books with a sappy ending. Watching Invincible, The Boys, and surprisingly Avengers: Infinity War has shown me that stories don’t have to have a happy ending, and the ones that don’t are interesting as fuck.
P.s. the only show that sufficiently handles friendship and relationships is my little pony. I only saw it because sister, but damn. There is no reason nor does there even deserve to be a reason why mlp was so well written. It had characters that consistent motivations and morals, event that actively changed who they were as a person, and get this, multiple character traits, I know, unbelievable. The animation was incredible and dialogue and writing were fucking perfect, fight me
My lucid dreaming has risen on a whole new level.
I NOW POSSESS THE ABILITY TO CONTROL TIME AT WILL.
I found out how to go back in time within my dreams when I was fighting a warden in hand-to-hand combat, and I first went forward in time when The other people’s dialogue got boring and I just kindof skipped it. This is the coolest thing i’ve ever done in a dream and I’ve drop-kicked a wolf into orbit from the inside of a tank after escaping a volcano that erupted twice.
I shall keep you posted on any new developments I make.
A voice booms over the colosseum; “Wecome to the Trials of Temporal Glory.”
In the far future, a gladiator stadium finds its gladiators by time traveling the greatest warriors of all time into a single arena. You cannot believe you were chosen.
Adhd is a constant inner conflict
One moment; “Okay, for the past 3 years i’ve been developing a story around a specific character. I’ve gotten the entire plot-line for a movie and half a sequel written out. I shall share this with the world.”
3 days later you delete the youtube comment; “They would’t accept the truth, it must remain hidden.”
And then you proceed to repeat this same action 5 times over 2 months, but before you do it a 6th time, you get distracted by a song for haven’t heard in ages. It’s not playing currently, you just remembered it existed.
Tldr; help All The Way is stuck in my head again, the Irish are taking over.
