#BRB having an existential crisis about this

[xysidhequeen]

No idea who needs to hear this. Because I've been writing, professionaly as my job for over a year and this only just clicked for me.

Dialogue does not have to be followed with 'X Said/Told/Yelled etc etc.' You can just move on to an action. IE: "Can't believe you did that!" X dropped to the floor, narrowly avoiding a sword that flew through the air where her throat had been seconds before.

I know for many writers this isn't some grand revelation but maybe it'll cause an epiphany for someone else.

#BRB having an existential crisis about this #hahahHaHAHahaHa definitely shouldnt edit my 500k word book series with this in mind in a hyperfixation daze #i want to bash my head into a wall for being so DUMB for so long #how did i not realize this #it can make dialogue flow so much smoother especially if you have a pet peeve like me about overused words in your own writing #also this is definitely a result of sleep deprivation but for once im not mad about it #i actually discovered something that will improve my writing tremendously #writing #Writer #writer things #writing advice #writer problems #author #fic writing #writing tips

do you think Ayatsuji would occasionally have an existential crisis? like, this man started solving crimes when he was 7 and killed over 2 billion people. I doubt he never thought about those what if's

I THINK ABOUT THIS SO SO MUCH AND NO ONE ELSE ADDRESSES IT. I’ve only seen like two other posts talking about the potential ramifications and trauma born out of seeing people die bloody dramatic deaths at the tender age of seven

I don’t doubt he was always a precocious bastard but that shit will force you to grow up in new and horrible ways and ??? numb you to it at the same time

I do think sometimes he gets a bit of an existential crisis about it because for one being so easily capable of that much violence has got to make you feel a little weird over how much blood is on your hands, sake of justice or not

plus like. he’s got to think about the what ifs scenario where he never had this ability, does he ever mourn the more innocent life he could’ve lived? does he ever feel angry at the universe for forcing this life upon him? jesus christ

THE ISOLATION TOO. that unknowing of normalcy, that opportunity to bond and feel human never ever allowed. I’m going to clutch my head and explode brb

4, 5, 8, 13, 34? :3c

HELLO THANKS FOR ASKING!!

Referencing this post.

4. What’s a word that makes you go absolutely feral?

Full disclosure: I saw this question and promptly forgot every word I’ve ever known. What my brain came up with on the reboot was, “Honestly…~~feral~~ makes me lose my shit. You know shit’s about to get Real when somebody’s described as feral, and I’m always love feral characters.”

5. Do you have any writing superstitions? What are they and why are they 100% true?

I don’t know if this counts as a Superstition or just a Neuroticism, but: The color’s gotta Match. Holy heck, does the color gotta match. I draft by hand in ink, and I change pen colors for different projects, in different notebooks, and they all have to at least kind of coordinate with each other, or else words stall out. Color Family is enough when it comes to notebook/pen combos, but if I try to change ink mid-project to a Slightly Different Hue, mid-drafting stream, Disaster Strikes.

For instance: When I was writing my superheroes stuff, I ran out of pens, and thought I ordered the Correct Refills, but the refills were Very Slightly Darker than the turquoise I was using, and it threw off my NaNo writing mojo for literally sixteen hours (until I got The Proper Pens). I had an existential crisis about it, at the time. It was bad.

Perhaps closer to counting as a superstition: I also must Begin A New Project With A New Month. I can’t just. Start a new project, whenever. I have to time it right, or Disaster. I don’t make the rules (I wish I made the rules).

8. If you had to write an entire story without either action or dialogue, which would you choose and how would it go?

Okay, so THIS is a wild question because, depending on how you interpret it, I have…technically…done both, in the same book? The one I just finished, actually: the whole novella is framed as a conversation in a café, so the only Actual Real Time Action is one character walking in and sitting down (and then facial expressions and one (1) notable coffee-out-nose incident), BUT the whole thing Is (one side of a) Dialogue.

On the flip side: there no dialogue-indicating quotation marks until almost 11k in, and by that point the narrator has told the story twice in its entirety. And: I didn’t do No Dialogue intentionally in the first drafting? Since it happened on accident, it couldn’t have been hard, right?

If I had to Pick One Intentionally, though, I’d probably go with No Dialogue to see if I could do it? Since I already loopholed my way into No Action. Dialogue is fun and relatively easy for me to write, usually, so it’d be a good Challenge Mode to try to Not. (…hm. BRB, making vague general notes for a Future NaNo, because it sounds like fun…..)

13. What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy?

Difficult: POLITICS/government lol. I don’t understand it IRL and I have a hell of a time trying to translate it into fiction (which is…an Issue, for, say. Secondary World SFF. And, uh. Guess what I have several ideas for, stuck in the worldbuilding stage…).

Easy:  Catch me adding SCIENCE to, like. Everything I write (even if it’s OOC for my narrator to know about). For instance: Birds? Feathers? Flight?? Love that shit, so anywhere it can go in, in it goes. Even if I don’t have the immediate knowledge to pull it off convincingly, I love learning about it, so I absolutely go down the research rabbit hole.

34. Thoughts on the Oxford comma, Go:

Mandatory. Seriously, if in general punctuation’s major purpose in life is CLARITY, whymst the fucketh wouldn’t you use an Oxford comma?? Why would only the FIRST item in your list get one? And commas are legitimately cute! So smol, and they have TAILS! What’s not adorable about that?

I also personally do my Best to increase the world’s total (properly-used) comma population at, like, literally every turn, in hopes that some of them will escape containment into the greater ecosystem and interbreed with native populations to increase species abundance.

Viva la Oxford comma!!

Thanks for the ask, friend!!

hello. hope you are all good and the family is well. there is less than 5 months til the new year, would you like to share what have been some good things that have occured for you for this year ? i have been obsessing over hzd forbidden west for like the entire month. any plans this weekend or up-coming weekend ?

hello! long time no...type? idk

5 months left in the year.....brb having an existential crisis about that for a moment. some good things that happened this year? hmmm

I got to go on vacation and see family earlier this month (hence part of the reason why I've been so absent from tumblr)

my cousin got a new puppy and he's adorable with little razors for teeth

less of an event, but I've been way more physically active this year than I have been for like a decade and I actually feel way better now (and had to re-buy literally my whole wardrobe, but that's fine). I can actually run 5k every weekend now, which is wild

Tears of the Kingdom really got a hold on me, even though I'm pretty terrible at video games. made me get a new OLED switch to replace my old broken one and gosh it's pretty

I literally bought a new phone like 14 hours ago, which I'm pretty jazzed about, mostly because I will finally have a phone that fits in my pocket for the first time since like 2012

Imogen and Laudna are girlfriends now and I'm still in shock lmao

HFW is such a beautiful game, like I wanna ignore the plot and just gaze at the landscape (it's next on my list to get back to once I'm more done with Zelda)

my friend is visiting town next week so we're gonna go see Barbie, which I'm very excited about (it's been killing me seeing everyone's reactions and not being able to go see it myself yet, bc I'd feel bad if I saw it before my friend)

hope you're having a lovely summer! (or winter, if you're in the southern hemisphere)

Les Huguenots (La Monnaie, 2022) reactions, Act IV

oof here we go

concerned husband

ouch okay

i feel so bad for him tbh, he wants to help but he just doesn’t understand but also will someone just tell him wtf is going on

“oh wait maybe I was a little harsh...well he’s gone”

*existential crisis intensifies*

the cross comes back

she’s just such a sweet Valentine I can’t

my poor baby

here he is there’s no way this could end badly

“you know I’m serious because I’m standing on the table”

in another time, another world...

not ominous at all

will he listen, it’s a toss-up

I think he’s already kinda pissed at Saint-Bris (don’t blame him one bit)

ugh this part always makes me so nervous

all the nobles are wearing one of those collar things except him

my poor boy :(

“excuse me WHAT NOW?”

go Nevers

“excuse me what...WHAT????? THE FUCK???” (love their solidarity in this moment, there’s so much to their relationship but the simplicity here of them together being the only ones to realize how sincerely fucked up this all is, and turn to each other in that moment)

dear lord I hate you

“is your dad really this fucked up?”

“unfortunately yes, you don’t know the half of it...”

“don’t worry...I won’t let anything bad happen”

"I...wish I could believe that”

fuck me up I’m already crying

brb

he knows what he’s gotta do, he knows there will be consequences but he’s gonna do it anyway

how about nope

YOU GO NEVERS

FANTASTIC LIGHT CHANGE

i love them, okay

don’t you dare start plotting anything

ruh roh

STOP IT LEAVE HIM ALONE

ouch ouch ouch

seriously fuck you

WHERE ARE YOU TAKING HIM BRING HIM BACK

it’s not as cool when you do it, man

seriously fuck all of you

uh excuse you why are you being mean to my baby

this whole scene makes me so fucking angry

i guess everyone’s just going to stand on the table then

tf is that guy also i think the queen is having a seizure

helpless witness

the lighting choices in this production are honestly on point

the beginning of the end

“my turn to stand on the table”

and there it is

they��re so sweet, why can’t this be forever

this duet is so beautiful and they’re both so amazing

oh no the bells oh no

the sheer agony

oh dang

and he’s off

Valentine ran over to one of the people and ushered them to follow her out </3

okay I am not ready for the final act but I also can’t wait to see it, why is this opera always like this

I'm getting old...

My dudes.

This is insane

I'm finishing high school in like two days??? I still vividly remember the stress I felt when I was going into my first year and now I'm applying for university accommodation and shit.

How has the time gone by so quickly?

You know that thing where adults complain about how the years seem to go by quicker and quicker as time goes on? They were completely right about that?!?! I feel like the days last forever but the weeks and months go by like the snap of a finger? Someone please explain why this is 'cause I really don't understand it!

Anyways, brb I'm gonna go have an existential crisis now 😘✌

[formula-what]

Okay so I listened to Short Kings Anthem and that shits actually good but like, they also fucking made Walk Man?? I love that song and you’re telling me that it’s a joke song made by Nole Miller?? That this guy is really out there making actual good music?? And directing music videos? And then goes and fucks around on twitch with that stupid voice of his?? God I really do hate Lando right now

licherally??? write anything with Sephiroth. I don't give a shit. I just want some of my boy (wait.. is he my boy or am I his boy brb having an existential crisis) ANYWAY have a great day ilyyyy

Alright my dude, might've had too much fun with this

TW Cursing

We all know this man is 6ft

That means Zack, Angeal, and Genesis are taller than him, which means this boy gets made fun of for being short

It's ok bb you got them Chanel boots

Sometimes, very rarely, when Genesis is feeling less annoying, he'll let him braid his hair

It takes forever to comb it out beforehand tho

Definitely has some plants Angeal gave him as a gift

Y'all seen ponytail Seph? Yeah he wears his hair like that when no one's looking, it aliviates the pressure from all that hair going free

His neck hurts a lot

Out of work he either wears sweatpants or business casual, no in-between

Zack comes over to his apartment a lot for no reason, which makes seph have to tell him to get the fuck out since he's walking around the house nakey

He has this super elaborate stand for Masamune, he loves that sword like it's his child, so of course he's gonna spoil it

No he does not get how weird that is

When he loses his mind, his apartment becomes baren and dusty

Angeal sometimes went to clean it up

When Angeal and Zack died, he didn't find out until months later

Babe was ANGRY

Like, they may have been annoying but they were his actual friends

He heard mentions of Cloud from Zack, who wasn't able to shut up about his new best friend

Projects his anger onto Cloud

Listen, he is not sane, he doesn't know what's going on and Angeal carried the braincell and he's dead

Overall, he's just kinda sad :/

His whole life has been a mess
