that phrase like, “he looked at her like she was the sun” has always confused me because most people look at the sun like this
things people do in real world dialogue:
• laugh at their own jokes
• don’t finish/say complete sentences
• interrupt a line of thought with a sudden new one
• say ‘uh’ between words when unsure
• accidentally blend multiple words together, and may start the sentence over again
• repeat filler words such as ‘like’ ‘literally’ ‘really’ ‘anyways’ and ‘i think’
• begin and/or end sentences with phrases such as ‘eh’ and ‘you know’, and may make those phrases into question form to get another’s input
• repeat words/phrases when in an excited state
• words fizzle out upon realizing no one is listening
• repeat themselves when others don’t understand what they’re saying, as well as to get their point across
• reply nonverbally such as hand gestures, facial expressions, random noises, movement, and even silence
My mom just sent me this video without any context??
Imagine harpy plague doctors
Usually feared harpies of pray that March in with improvised masks in the hope to scare off the plague
Crow harpies with outposts in a heavily plagued city
Barn owl harpies that work as medics in towns where the plague had passed in an attempt to cure the last people standing
Vulture harpies that walk into ghost towns to rid them of bodies to make way for new thriving cities
Hummingbird harpies that remind people to stay safe and keep morale high
Plague doctor harpies
sorry guys had another story idea
about a character, the story is from the author's point of view
im prolly not gonna explain this well
i have seven minutes to type this aaaaaa
ok so
author shows up in story as a side character, and tells mc that he's fictional
mc starts having an identity crisis
goes through the plotline knowing it's all fake, but can't bring himself to tell his friends that and spoil their existence, but he's being crushed by the weight of knowing that his every move is documented by an all-powerful entity
and then the final boss of the sandbox made for him to play in tells him
"the author doesn't have time to write everything, child."
this is how he realizes that, while the big moments are all decided for him, as to what will happen, all the little things are up to him
the story ends with the author saying
"I could tell you what he realized, all on his own, alone in his room. I could tell you every precise detail and word. But then, it wouldn't be all on his own. He deserves a little privacy."
all the thiings that happen while the readers and author aren't looking are told by background characters, like "wow, you really killed it, that intense thought process was wild!"
well maybe not that but yeah
lemme know if you'd read this
Just had a thought for what I guess could be called a Warrior Cats equivalent to internships.
As part of each apprentice’s Warrior training, they’re required to visit the other clans for, say, half a moon each (or maybe they just pick one instead)? This way, they could learn about the cultures within each clan to build better understandings between them and pick up new skills.
This could also serve as a source of conflict, since there are going to be cats who would see this as nothing more than glorified spying, maybe refusing to let their apprentice take part and impeding their progress. And of course there’s always that Forbidden Romance Drama™.
