#And I used the mandatory prompt of ✨ personal journeys ✨ to explore how violence begets violence

Adventures in writing my English SAC, also known as 550 words of Theon being an angsty bitch,,

#just pav things #Sure I had to adapt some things like making his backstory a tad bit different to fit in the 50 minute timeframe I had to write #So rather than the pseudo time-travel there’s an alternative universe where all of his siblings become spiriters instead telethia-style #DOLPHIN DON’T SEARCH TELETHIA UP YOU WILL GET IMMEDIATELY SPOILED FOR XC1 #Also I had to cut the lucid dreamer bit too because it wasn’t necessary to the plot #But it ended up being in the style of Bidngen which was one of the mentor texts we had to draw from #And I used the mandatory prompt of ✨ personal journeys ✨ to explore how violence begets violence #Theon shuns flowers as a sign of the destructive rich but at the end he says he’s a flower as well #Where he was once a victim of hatred he lashes out with the same hate against the spiriters #And so it covers his emotional journey in dealing with his trauma (badly) as well as his physical/temporal one :) #Also I wish I had more time to make his first-person voice actually. A child’s instead of it being ambiguous #He sounds like Inigo which Isn’t Wrong and it makes sense for him to be precocious but there’s a certain flamboyancy to his voice #And also Theon would not know this many big words. He is uneducated. Alas. #The problem with my first-person fiction despite my gravitas towards it is that #it’s hard to separate my authorial voice and vocab with my childrens’ 😅 in my eyes anyways #Probably why I still feel so disdainful for all of my past writing for YHNN. It doesn’t read right 😣 #The only exception is any instances where I’ve written first-person pov for Archie which was most notably in my Yr 11 exams #We share the same whimsy ig ✨💯
