#I’m feeling many emotions right now lol 😂

[indieyuugure]

I've been following ROTP for quite some time now and I can't wait for Mutation Situation. Your art style is just a pure joy to the eyes and the writing is exceptional!!!

I do have a question though...

is there a sort of science to how you do facial expressions? Yours come across very well and clear. I've been toying around with trying to work with facial features in various styles and I still can't figure out how to get the expressions I want.

Any advice would be most appreciated!! I hope you're having a good day!

Aw, thank you! Yeah I’m doin’ good!

Expressions. Well to some degree yes. I think the first and most important thing is to study your own face and learn exactly how every emotion looks on it. Learn how your eye brows move, the way different creases of you face appear and change when you smile or frown, the way your eyes widen or squint when your face changes. Just spend some time looking in a mirror, or acting out a scene. Becoming familiar with the way a face moves and looks when different emotions are made will drastically improve your expressions.

Another thing you can do is try making the expression while your drawing and feeling the way your face looks and translate what you’re feeling onto the paper. I do this a lot, in fact it happens enough that I have this little thing about it:

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked why I look so angry while I’m drawing lol 😂

But anyway, once you have a pretty good understanding of what you’re facial expression is supposed to look like, you have to amp it up to 11. The reason the faces I draw are so expressive is because I make the emotion strong enough that you feel what they’re feeling

Here’s Raph. Don’t just make him frown and call that “angry” that’s not angry enough! Deepen the crease in his brows, widen his eyes, bare his teeth. Don’t be afraid to make your character’s face contorted with emotion. In real life, no one looks pretty when they express an extreme emotion, that’s just not how it works.

Just try out taking a simple emotion and making more and more extreme. Test the absolute limits of what you can make a character express with their face.

Mikey’s not just happy, this is the greatest thing in the history of the universe!

Another thing I see a lot in beginner’s art is that they don’t match the facial expression to the body language. Look back at the picture of Raph and look at his shoulders, go on!

When he goes from “mildly annoyed” to “furious,” his body language changes. You see his shoulders tense up along with his face, he looks very angry. Body language is much harder to pick up on and study because, at least for most people, you don’t even notice it. You’re brain picks up on it instinctually and so you don’t consciously think about it. Just remember that body the can tell just as much as the face. An expression isn’t complete without both halves. Here’s an example:

This character has the same facial expression, copy-pasted, yet somehow you get two different expressions from the same face. The first is more relaxed and in awe. The second looks more stiff and scared. I would personally go a little further in both directions if this was for a drawing, but this is just to prove that a facial expression is not the whole emotion, you have to match the body language too.

I hope you found this helpful! Drawing expressions is very challenging! I usually redraw every expression in ROTP at least once or twice, and I do tons of small tweaks here and there to get it just right. Don’t feel intimidated, just take a blank paper and draw expressions over and over, they don’t even have to be pretty, just practice!

Good Question! :]

Since guest reviews aren’t allowed at the moment I hope you don’t mind me commandeering your ask box for fic commenting purposes-🍥☀️🍥☀️ (Butterfly chapter 10)

[Her puffy eyes shifted to that part of her Naruto had touched, peering hard at her flesh as though her eyes could detect a spectrum of light that would reveal the shape and color of the warmth his hand had left on hers.] I’m not articulate enough to express why certain lines hit for me beyond saying “wow I really liked that!” so, wow I really liked that!

Hinata cataloging her physiological responses to Naruto made me smile a lot ❤️. Someone help our girl out and explain what a crush is.

Also!!! “Naruto-flutters” is THE CUTEST THING I’VE EVER HEARD!!!!!!! 🥺🥺🥺. When I saw that phrase I had to walk it off as if I was experiencing them myself.

But the part of the chapter that really got me was Hinata experiencing the feeling of safety for the first time. Goddddddd I have so many emotions about that. Honestly as I type this out, I’m tearing up again. [As though there was a shield between her and the things that hurt.] Like????????? This is too much for me 😭.

I have a pretty huge trust kink and the feeling of safety is such a large part of that so you really hit all the right buttons for me. It’s devastating that the reason Hinata isn’t aware of what safety feels like comes from the people who should most have wanted to keep her safe ☹️. But it’s also beautiful seeing her get to experience it with Naruto. I’m so happy for her 💕💕💕💕. Hinata’s panicked response at almost losing that feeling was heartbreaking, but at the same time I’m delighted at how that speaks to her growing affection and need for Naruto.

Sai mention!!! Sai is soooo underrated in my opinion. I have such a soft spot for him. Him interacting with Hinata will either be a huge disaster or a shocking success, with no in between. I love that for him 💕. His bluntness is really reassuring in some ways, and if nothing else, Hinata can’t possibly feel like a social disaster when compared to him 😭. Sai and Hinata being art buddies would be cute! Hopefully they get to interact soon and well.

[Smiling wasn’t the only thing she couldn’t remember doing, laughing was another. Naruto was a well of new experiences for her, and the urge to laugh was one of those newfound, slowly developing experiences he was slowly coaxing from her.] 💔💔💔💕💕💕. Here’s to hoping for many more new experiences together 🙏.

Shikamaru!!!! Another favorite of mine 🥰. I love how cool he was about Hinata’s stutter, to the point of not even mentioning it even though he was aware of it. That’s so very him.

[“How the hell do you know about that?!” Naruto finally burst, piercing the stunned silence, scaring her in the process, though he was too caught up in giving his friend the third degree to notice.] Hmmmmmmn Naruto does get aggressively loud sometimes and I can imagine how scary that must be for Hinata. I wonder if we’ll be seeing more of this situation 👀👀👀.

Hinata hesitating to join in on the conversation was painful and relatable, but I’m so proud she did 💕. She is just as much an inspiration here as Naruto was for her in canon. I hope next time she’ll be able to ask Kurenai for what she wants. Small steps but she’ll get there 💪💪💪.

I’m so curious about Naruto’s pov on the whole court appointed guardian thing. Does he get the full implications of what that means for Hinata and her home life? I feel like at that age hearing something like that, I wouldn’t have wanted to think too deeply into it. But also I’m pretty far removed from high school now so who knows 😂.

The Kurenai-Minato relationship is an interesting one! I wonder if it’ll lead to some fun interactions.

Excellent chapter as usual, thanks for writing.

Of course, as soon as you drop a review, AO3 turned comments back on, lol. But thanks so much for dropping it here! You're one of the ones I was so upset about possibly missing out on! 😭But the crisis is over for now it seems, so you are free to comment again! 💕which I am sooooo happy about! I like getting messages here, but I prefer them on the story that way I can go back and reread them again and again 🙈 when I need a boost to keep going 💪🏾Writing is tough work 😤

Funny thing about this line: [Her puffy eyes shifted to that part of her Naruto had touched, peering hard at her flesh as though her eyes could detect a spectrum of light that would reveal the shape and color of the warmth his hand had left on hers.] It's a Byakugan reference🤭

Right! Poor Hina is clueless, lol. I've been wanting Hinata to switch place with Naruto in a story for a while, having her unable to recognize her own feelings like canon Naruto struggled. I think it's really cute 🙈💕Probably not the reason for her lack of emotional acuity but the concept of it.

Naruto-flutters are so adorable to me too, and it's like ahhhh, omg Hinata do you know what those little flutters mean???🙈she doesn't of course and somehow that makes it even cuter!! 💕💕

Riiiiiiggggghhhtttt, like I love Naruto making her feel all safe, and it hits so much harder because he has no idea what he's truly giving this girl! Like how much he's shining down on this poor wilting water lily🥹💞

Lmao, that is so true! Either Hinata is gonna get a new friend or Naruto's gonna upper cut him through the school roof🙈let's hope Sai makes a wise decision🤭Art buddies would be so adorable! Though Sai would definitely be brutally honest and who knows how Hinata will take that🙈

Here's to more new experiences! 💕💕

Shikamaru's so chill and go with the flow, he was the perfect first initiation into socializing outside Naruto🥰

I cannot express how hype and excited I get when readers catch those little details I put in there🤩Naruto is indeed a very loud, pretty liberally aggressive guy. Perhaps that will factor in again later🫢Naruto's learning gentleness and patience, but maybe there's a few more tricks Hinata can teach him 🤭

Right! And that's what I wanted to get across with Butterfly! Strength is subjective, it's not a one size fits all, and every obstacle a person overcomes is just as important than any other obstacle whether its physical, mental, emotional, psychological, whatever! Hinata struggles with things others take for granted, but she keeps trying, and that's not weakness, that's strength, bravery, determination and just as you said, just as inspiring as Naruto! 😤

He'll revisit the convo about it at some point, don't worry! Its very reminiscent of his past self though, when he was a boy in the woods and didn't really understand the significance of his meeting with Hinata🥹

Kurenai-Minato may or may not have more significance later on, we shall see 🤭

Lovely comment!! Thank you sooo much for coming through!! You are really one of the people I cannot wait to hear from! 🙈you truly make my day!!💕always so thorough and detailed, I love seeing your reactions and being privy to your thoughts on the chapter, and you're consistent support and you don't know how much that means to me 😭Thank you sooooo much!!🦋💕

*POYT 5 UPDATE* + some general chit chat lol

lmfao at the way I thought I could contain this beast of a fic under 30k words. I’m at 29k words rn and still have 1.5 scenes left to write plus the epilogue… so it’s safe to say it’ll be longer than 30k words.

Also if anything has made me doubt my writing, it’s this fic. I just… I want it to live up to expectations so bad that I keep going back and editing it. And that’s made me hate parts of it and I panic bc I don’t want to change it but then I do but then I don’t and I just… UGH! I just want to be 1000% happy with it but I feel like that’s impossible at this point.

One thing I hate about my writing is the way I just go on and on and there’s so much unnecessary preamble, so I always go back and try and edit all that out. Like delete all the random extra wording I use and just try and get to the point faster. But then even that’s hard bc every single thing I’ve written in poyt 5 is just so relevant to the story!

Now I have so many doubts bc maybe I should’ve split it into two parts, maybe I should’ve changed the plot and done it different and I just… IT’S TOO LATE TO CHANGE IT and honestly I’m happy with my original plot but I’m also scared of how it’ll be perceived. Bc I remember a few people were critical of the Bucky spin-off and like… with how much effort I’ve put into this 30+k fic, I think I’d actually cryyyy if people perceived it badly.

BUT THEN the rational part of my head is reassuring me that it’ll be fine… that I’ve genuinely worked so hard on it that it can’t actually be as bad as I sometimes think it is. Bc I’ll read it and not think it’s “epic” enough to be a fitting conclusion but like… this isn’t GOT we’re talking about it’s just POYT 🥲😂 and POYT isn’t meant to be epic, it’s meant to be heartwrenching and sad and emotional… which I think it is!!

Ultimately, I’ve stayed true to my original idea. Of course I’ve made minor changes along the way (plus one huge major change to the ending that I had originally envisioned but we’ll discuss that once the chapter is out heheh). BUT YEAH, this is all just mindless mind chatter and insecurities and I’m just writing it all down bc it’s better to get your feelings out isn’t it…

I guess my worst fear is people saying that the fic was draggy, that it got too tedious and long for them, that it got boring halfway through, that it wasn’t what they thought it was going to be, that I let them down, that i bit off more than I could chew and now I haven’t given them a satisfactory conclusion. And I honestly don’t know how I’d defend myself to all this criticism if I got it bc I genuinely tried my best.

But let’s also remember that I started writing this fic back in January. And other writers know that when we reread our work we always want to change it or tweak it or in hindsight we know we could’ve written it better. And I HAVE tweaked it since then and rewritten and edited and all that… but I’ve kept the plot bc I have faith in it… this is the story I want to tell.

And I realise that writing all this is kind of insane and I know people are side eying me and rolling their eyes but guys I’m just putting my emotions down and I’m genuinely scared. I’ve always said that whenever I post a new chapter of poyt, it’s insane the way my heart beats and my palms get sweaty like I SWEAR to you I have a whole ass panic attack each time I post but it’s always vindicated by the amazing feedback so it’s a win win

HONESLTG reading over this word vomit I feel like I sound insane but genuinely I’m just trying to get my thoughts down. I guess I’m just super insecure about this last chapter but honestly, anyone in my position would be?? Right??? I just hope you guys love it. And the characters are believable and you think the writing is good

Okay I’ll stop now byeee

#my thoughts 💭

[thefallennightmare]

I just wanted to come on here and thank both you and @thescarlettvvitch IMMENSELY. I struggle and have struggled for what feels like my entire life, with depression, anxiety, and the list goes on and on… But, Just Pretend means so much to me. It has been my saving grace for the last few months. It’s my safe place and the amount of times that I have gone back and reread the entire thing from start to it’s current chapter, or have even gone back just to reread my favorite chapters and favorite bits, is more then all 10 fingers and toes combined lol. Music has always been something that I turned too and would submerge myself in to take me away from it all and block out all the overbearing things surrounding my brain. But lately, Just Pretend is now what I reach for when I need a place to escape to drown out the noise. Although, it’s Angel and Noah’s world, in a sense, I feel like it’s also my world too. It’s my safe place and I know that if things are feeling a little too overwhelming, I can always open the tumblr app and can count on Noah & Angel to clear my head for a bit, or for hours on end. I cannot put into words or express my gratitude enough to either of you to measure up to how much Just Pretend has helped me through these last few weeks. I absolutely meant it when I said that both of you could be writing novels that sell out and are hard to keep stocked on the book shelves every week at all the book stores. The way you both are able to write these stories and fully encapsulate all the emotions and every single character, no matter how big or small their role in the story is, is absolutely astonishing. I just wanted to leave this in your inbox because I know you both have posted about how this week has been a bit rough for the both of you. But just know, that your work has saved people and granted them happiness and a sense of purpose when they needed it the most. I will always be here to continue coming back to read Just Pretend and drown myself out in Mochi, Angel, and fruit basket citrus sock smearing Jesse’s world. Thank you again, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart. I cannot wait to see what you both have come up with for the next two chapters.💗 Also, sorry this was so long!🫣

Oh wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Anon you have rendered me and @thescarlettvvitch speechless.

First off, I want to say you’re not alone. I also suffer from anxiety and depression. It’s not easy. Some days(like this past week) are really hard. So to hear that Just Pretend helps you through yours makes me fall to my knees. I’m so so glad our story can be a positive outlook on life when the darkness seems to pull you under.

My work saved people? Our silly little story about Noah Sebastian saved people? I’m just at a loss for words because we NEVER thought it would be like this. In the best way possible. You guys say it all the time that Just Pretend is the best Noah fic on here but I still don’t believe it. We just thought it would be something fun to do together. We never imagined it would turn into something so magical and life saving.

I truly believe this is what Noah meant in the Rock Sound interview. Bad Omens has brought together so many different people with different backgrounds and who are going through their own struggles and find peace in the things Bad Omens created and what others create for/ because of Bad Omens.

With all the negativity Bad Omens is getting right now, I would love to show them this. Tell them that this is what their music is doing to/for their fans and the people that support them through and through.

But then again, I truly hope Noah never finds this story 😂

Again anon, thank you so fucking much from the bottom of our hearts. You guys don’t understand how comments like this brighten our day and make this whole writing thing fucking worth it. We absolutely love you all.

Thanks for being here. And enjoy the rest of this wild fucking ride that is my blog.

I mean this wholeheartedly when I say I think you are my favorite fic writer ever. The worlds you create continue to amaze me. It is so wild that I can just read all your stories for free. I feel like everything you write is so intentional, whether is character development or world building, I always know whatever you say is on purpose and that makes reading your stories that much more fun. I feel like I’m always discovering something new about a character in your stories. The way you write layered, complex characters with real world problems, has literally changed my outlook on real people in the real world and given me more grace for strangers. I reread your stories all the time time and I genuinely believe you would make a phenomenal author. You write the kind of stories and characters that should be apart of curriculums in English classes.I think being able to create and communicate so many amazing characters is a skill that so few have but you do it so perfectly. I genuinely love and hate some of your characters at the same time, and I think it’d so cool how you can walk that line just enough to pull out these real emotions from your readers. I think the fact that I can love and hate them at the same time is what makes them feel so real. Like in MFIY, I started reading it thinking he’d be just another mildly written fuck boy but after a couple chapters I was like “actually fuck this guy, please get him off my screen…” lol and then you brought him back around and I love him now 😂Anyways, that’s all!! ❤️❤️

oh my god? all of this hype for free??? you’re kidding me, this absolutely made my day 😭

I love that you said all of my writing feels so intentional because I feel like my writing process is so chaotic sometimes so it’s really lovely to hear that my work isn’t super messy 🥹🫶

And idk how close we are to having smut in English classes but hehehe tysm !!! Also you knowwww I love my flawed characters, and you’re so right about MFIY Bradley, I’m so glad he won you over again 🫶😭

#absolutely so so so lovely #you’re too kind to me #I loveeee you for this #🫶🫶🫶

When I saw that Anti-romance/Heartbreak was the 2nd most voted option for a V Day rec list I couldn’t resist! I’m surprised that I came up with so many titles, as I don’t usually read unhappy endings. Or maybe - as I came to realize - I do read them, as long as they’re short enough to make me recover nice and quick 😂 I’ve got to be in a mood to dive into these but oh boy, do they hurt good. Darkness and heartbreak done right can be fascinating and cathartic in a very special way, and what better date to indulge than today?

Disclaimer: there’s no MCD or force majeure at work here. I specifically wanted fics that showcase heartbreak as the result of human action - flawed characters, bad choices, cruelty, messed up romance. Some are on the darker side, some are just angsty af, some include toxic relationships and fidelity issues. Please mind the tags and enjoy! Major thanks to @writcraft who brainstormed ideas with me and was especially invested in this theme, and to my dear pal @tackytigerfic who didn’t even think twice before selecting this option on the poll. This is for you both! <3

So I am battling this winter storm and don’t really have full access to my computer right now lol, but OMG I have so many feelings about the trailer.

*The gang is back. I was so much more emotional than I even expected 😭

*Chez Fez! Love that for him. Love that Kitty goes to him for her hair.

*Jackie and Kelso looked different than I was expecting! I don’t even know what I mean by that lol. I am looking forward to seeing their scene.

*Finally some ERIC AND DONNA!!! Still on the hood of the car. As much as things change, they stay the same. And I think we can all agree that Eric looks exactly the same, lol, but I think Donna does too! The only thing that is different is her bangs. That still of them looks like it could be from ‘70s lol.

*We got a little insight into Eric’s relationship with Leia! We’re already getting so much more than I’ve been expecting. Donna said “Eric’s having a tough time with Leia” and Eric’s “All I know is that I’m gonna love her and stand behind her no matter what,” - 🥰

*Chicago!!! Eric, Donna and Leia live in Chicago. Where I’m from ❤️❤️

Alright that’s all for my first impressions. Gonna rewatch 40 gazillion times as soon as I can 😂

Stay safe y’all ✌🏻

[onigiri-dorkk]

My not so hot, rather pessimistic take about the upcoming finalest final of AoT is: there will be absolutely no changes in the manga adaptation. We will get the necrophilic kiss, we will see and hear pathetic, whining Eren. Sadly. The only thing I'm hoping to know is: how the hell did Mikasa reach Paradis with that rotting, severed head in her arms?

Honestly I am still in coping mode, still in disbelief that the story would actually end like… well, that. And if so, once again, at the very least we will get Levi and Mikasa alive and well, about to reunite again and selfishly I will take that even if Isayama doesn’t redeem his writing 😭

And HONESTLY??? Zero clue how she did it. Maybe she put him in a plastic bag for the flight back home 😭😂 hELP

I’ve never thought of that, tho. His head would absolutely still be bleeding and rotting. Now for fun I am imagining when Mikasa and Alliance reconvene directly after that (you know they had to at some point) everyone’s reaction to Eren’s head would be… interesting, probably. Armin got emotional of course. But LEVI??? CAN YOU IMAGINE??? I’m sure he’d feel some emotion too but can you feel the disgust 😭😭 Although I do think Levi would hold that in momentarily, the same way he did for that soldier who died (he shook his bloodied hand) and same with Kenny who coughed blood in his face when dying.

I imagine after some time passes and he interacts with Mikasa — especially when Mikasa heals from it all — it will be a point of interest he’d poke fun at as they reminisce. “Tch. Still can’t believe you cradled a filthy corpse across seas. Made the plane smell like shit the entire way.”

If the anime does just stick with the manga, I at least hope we get a post-war reunion scene between the leftover alliance. I know they’re all kinda scattered around the world in those scenes but I’d be happy if it ended with actually showing all of them together at the reunion/Eren’s grave.

Speaking of which… I highly doubt Mikasa would be able to keep the head of Eren and leave with it tbh. From a national security POV that would not slip/they wouldn’t risk Eren still being alive or being revived to start the Rumbling again! So quite literally Mikasa shouldn’t have been able to or allowed to leave to Paradis with it.

SORRY, THIS IS A CHAIN OF THOUGHTS NOW bc now I’m wondering how TF people of Paradis would have accepted Mikasa and them back after 1) they betrayed Paradis and 2) after Mikasa killed Eren, aka Paradis’ only hope. 10000% they would not be allowed back, right? (At least not immediately) Or if they are it’s probably just because of Historia — even then, Paradis citizens would be up in arms about their return. Could see assassination efforts on them to be completely honest. 😅

So many weird things about the ending but again… GIVE US RIVAMIKA REUNION!!! But maybe in London and not at the grave 😭😂

Ok I’m done LOL

I still think AOE has high chances of happening… WE SHALL SEE!!

Romance asks you say? Djskaksksjd Give me 1,2 and 15 for kiyazan and 16,20,31 for daemon and karima 😌🫶

Low key this got long but I could probably write more (also a note I would love to hear the partners of the blorbos thoughts more too fjskdjsk)

Oc romance asks!

Kiyazan: 💖💖

1. What drew your character to their LI and vice versa?

Low key it’s cheesy but like, him as an entire person, Yazan is Kiaras best friend, he matches her energy in so many ways, there is no one else she would rather spend time with, I don’t think she could pick one thing, he just has to be his whole self nd she loves him for it. They’ve known each another so long she wouldn’t be able to give you a specific thing, drew her in by being his funny dramatic self lol.

2. What was the first moment that they knew they were in love with their LI? 

Fjskdjsks ok, so I feel like for younger Kiara I don’t know if she’d know it was love per say at first bc there was always love it just,,, shifted a bit, she started being just a bit more aware of how close they were sitting, or found herself wanting to hold hands but she’s nervous about it now where she might not have thought that much of it previously and just like, eventually she realized it was a romantic kind of love too. It definitely clicked though in a very mundane moment where they were hanging out as usual and they’re talking and he does something stupid. Omg actually, it 100% might’ve been when he drew a lil hilighter mark on her when the teacher said to hilight the most important things. Or also a moment of him being excited to show her something like, a new drum piece he’s been working on. Either way absolutely something mundane where it just clicked in her brain in that moment fjskdjsk and she just, never stopped loving him after that so I actually can’t say there’s a realization when they’re older. But there is this sort of resurgence bc I think for a bit it’s just overshadowed by ‘I’m so happy to have you back’. The love is still, *there* though 100% and once it takes the forefront again the fear also settles and becomes ‘oh god I love him but what if I say something and lose him again’ which, fjskdjsks, and that probably just happens as they fall back into being around each other/talking a lot again.

15. Does their view of themselves differ from their partner’s view?

Kiaras self image is so ?? I think her image of herself is someone who cares about others and also as someone who is maybe ‘too much’ I think it’s a fear that sits deep in her bc she just,,, feels very deeply and she’s got a abandonment issues so I feel like, together it makes her fear rejection based off her intensity of emotion. That said this is all deep down I don’t think she has spent a lot of time thinking about herself and I think if you asked her she’d be taken a little bit aback and would have to think on it. Which is definitely different how yazan sees her I think he thinks she’s kind and funny and charming and smart, actually sees her for everything she is which, I don’t think she can say about herself.

Karima and daemon:

16. Jealous at all?

Yk, this is interesting bc, I don’t think daemon is a jealous person at all really. l just don’t think that’s in him, he would step in if he felt like karima wanted him to but he’s not really,,, jealous,, I’m trying to think of situations low key 😂 yk if one of karimas exes wanted to start some beef w him I think he’d be idk if cocky is the right word but it definitely can come off that way, perhaps unbothered is a better word. But still idk if that’s jealousy fjskdjsk.

On the flip side idk how he feels ab her being jealous (if she is) it depends on what she’s like, she’s got no reason to tho I think if someone flirted w him he’d be like :L ty but I’m going to find my gf

20. Did either person change at all, to be with their partner

We talking ab before they met or after bc both of them definitely did a lot of growing before they were ready to be in a relationship though they didn’t necessarily do it *for* the relationship bc,,, they didn’t know eachother yet.

Daemon had to learn how to be comfortable with himself he hopped relationship to relationship when he was in his early 20s with people who weren’t necessarily the best for him. The last break up was definitely a wake up call like, I think early twenties him didn’t know who he was, constantly changed to appease the person he was with, I mean he was still daemon but it was buried. I think after his last break up he got called out by his younger brother and he also just,, felt it like ‘what am I even doing’ and then he spent a long time working on himself and figuring himself out. Also it’s kinda funny bc I think the timeline on this is like,,, he was ~25 so, incredibly humbling to be called out by your 19 year old brother too I think 😂

And you know ab Karima (she is your blorbo) and how she also went through it nd did the dating around but she was also self sabotaging in all those relationships, def dated the wrong ppl and if she was dating someone who was nice she would find issues or reasons it doesn’t work (low key i want more of ur thoughts on this bestie 🙌🏽)

31. Share anything you would like about the couple!

Anything I want 🤔😂 I will share the thoughts that have been bouncing around in my brain for them. Like I’m kinda just thinking about their crafts, I didn’t expect them to be crafty but between the crochet and the pottery/sculpting they kinda are and I think it’s very cute? Like the idea of them crocheting stuff or like working on lil projects together just gets me fr. Also them making stuff for eachothers pets 😂 a sweater for a lizard is actually hilarious and daemon would 1000% make one.

Also daemon dropping lunch off for her while she’s at work can be something so personal, helps her grade assignments or something while he’s at it. Low key these two would be great parents but they just ended up being around kids in other ways 😂 being aunt/uncle or just teaching them fjskdjsk 100/10 anyway I’ll get off my soapbox.

I’ll just add that if u want to pls tell me the other blorbos perspectives im so curious fjskdjsk

#oc questions #I should start tagging these bc I wanna find them again and low key can’t #triumphantt asks #kiyazan #daemon x karima #the when did she realize one #I’ve been thinking ab it all day like WDYMMM

[butmakeitgayblog]

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I do kind of understand what Harry Styles was saying about gay sex scenes because sex scenes with men are always so ROUGH 😭 With het and MLM scenes I typically have trouble believing that they actually have any feelings for each other beyond Horny because the whole time I’m just like damn dude are you even trying to make it good for them cause it’s not all about you!!!

And then like you said we get a hard cut to two girls doing nothing more than laying in bed holding the covers over their titties and I feel infinitely more chemistry and love between them than basically any sex scene with a man 😂 Have men in the industry not got the memo that sex doesn’t always have to be getting railed until you can’t walk but rather there are many ways to have sex and it can in fact often be a loving and dare I say cute experience??? If there’s gonna be a sex scene I want it to show something about the characters and their relationship, how they treat and care for each other (or not 😬) not… whatever tf the scene in TLFOAH was. Wasn’t sexy, didn’t contribute anything, super out of place… ugh

Well, respectfully idk about all that. I mean I think there have been sex scenes involving men that are perfectly lovely and loving in their depiction, it's just unfortunate that those don't tend to be the stories Hollywood dork ass loser execs want to portray 😒 they all want rough sex and violence and exploitation

And really I don't even necessarily blame the actors. I mean yes it's their performance, but I assume they're mostly being directed on how to shoot these scenes. I believe most, if not all, sex scenes these days have choreographers that break every movement and touch down beat by beat to try and do away with any variables that could mess up a shot or give opportunities to less savory actors trying to pull shit in scenes that make stuff weird.

And that's where my bitching and complaining comes in! Lol because now they have no excuse. There's no excuse for the bullshit that gets peddled and is so obviously made salacious on purpose rather than loving.

Like this scene for example.

It could have actually been worth a damn. A sex scene could have worked here, if they had not been thinking "hmmm ho how can we make this as sexy as possible so whoever's boyfriend that's being made to watch this with will get their dick hard", and actually used it as a vehicle for the plot and for character development. I would've been completely for it. If they had slowed down and taken a few beats to show him being sweet with her, show him lovingly kissing her, maybe a few smiles or intense looks while they slowly undressed each other, moments where he stops just to look into her eyes and build that connection. Have the rhythm of the sex be slow and sweet, as though he's giving her tenderness and caring that she hadn't had before - that she's so obviously been searching for in all her pain and trauma and abandonment. That would've been amazing! BECAUSE THEN! You jump forward to the beach scene only a few moments later, and you see that veneer crack. You see the beginnings of his ugliness and his abuse start to emerge.

How much more impactful would that have been?

That stark contrast. That immediate shift that would've felt like the rug was yanked right out from under the viewer and Alice both.

To move between these scenes of seeing her falling into him, thinking '*sigh* Finally. Finally, here's someone who cares about me. Here's someone who will be soft with me. Here's someone who will protect me, help me heal, give me the love that's been stolen from me over and over again in my life. Here's my safety.'

And then... you see him change.

That would've totally been so effective and speak to the characters and the blossoming of their relationship, and how someone can be so blinded by emotions that they don't see the danger signs right in front of them. It would've built such a more solid foundation for why Alice would make excuses and exceptions for him and his behavior, because we'd know that she'd already have this love story written in her head fROM THE SEX SCENE

But no.

Nope.

Uh uh.

Gratuitous boinking always wins and I just

TEEN WOLF: THE MOVIE THOUGHTS

LIKES

I could see!!! (*Chef Ramsay voice* Finally, some good effing lighting.)

Scott running an animal shelter

Cute opening credits

Boss!Lydia (c’mon white power suit!)

Jackson being Jackson (he ain’t do much, but I appreciated his presence)

Derek giving Clark Kent dad vibes lol

Malia being Malia (her dialogue never disappoints 😂)

Coach being Coach (we stan Bobby Finstock in this house)

Nogitsune is still effectively creepy

Fights look less like breakdancing

Ridiculous Peter entrance (I chuckled)

Lydia/Jackson duo is fun

Scallison 3x05 parallel

Actually liked Eli’s character and storyline

Greenberg mention! (But still no appearance!)

So many callbacks, my heart!

They didn’t go overboard with the profanity and nudity, thank goodness (I hate when shows move on to a platform that condones it and they go buck wild—it’s so cringey, like, calm down)

Scallison endgame was endearing (though I still stand on Scira being better)

DISLIKES

Plot really should’ve pertained to where the show left off (hunters v supernaturals)

Malia/Parrish (who is this for? what was the reason?)

Liam feels like such a background character

Adrian Harris? Really? REALLY? 🙄

Nogitsune being a werewolf (they literally defeated it in 3B because it can’t be a fox and a wolf, right?)

Derek dying was unnecessary. (Especially via fire, c’mon now)

They really should’ve paid Arden Cho what she was worth instead of playing in her face

ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS

Allison’s nails are the same as when she died (nice attention to detail there)

Allison’s mom—Jump Scare, ngl

No, but seriously, who is Eli’s mom?

Hikari’s an obvious Kira replacement, and yet I want to know more about her

The cgi cliff 😂

Peter’s scent tracking—sir, get up!

Playing lacrosse like they lives aren’t in danger (typical teen wolf, lol)

I was hoping they weren’t gonna break up Stydia, but I can accept Lydia’s reasoning (it could’ve been worse)

Derek’s memorial flashbacks are more emotional than his actual death

Eichen House still running, oof

Didn’t mind Stiles’ absence, but I’m sure y’all knew that

All in all, I had fun watching the movie. Yeah, I think they should’ve gone a different direction in terms of plot (though, I am glad to have Allison back). Yes, it was a mess (laughably so), but no messier than Teen Wolf has always been. Lots of unanswered questions, lots of plot holes and contradictions, and some open endings for characters, but again, what did I expect?

Definitely some touching moments and quite a few laughs. Far from the best, but I’ve seen worse (haven’t seen anything that’s pissed me off half as bad as season 7 of The 100, lol).

I think I’m in the mood for a series rewatch.

[badassunicorn2016]

Well, I started this blog 7 years ago with great intentions, and had a great almost 7 months posting and then I started grad school and anything other than grad school sorta fell by the wayside.

In the years between then and now, I’ve thought about picking up where I left off, but haven’t really found the motivation at the right time of the year.

So I’m sort letting the daily writing prompt/daily writing tip thing go after 7 years (it’s time 😂). While I stopped posting, I did continue writing (sporadically) and now that I am done with grad school I am actually taking a creative writing class for the first time ever and I am so excited!!!

It’s only just started, but one thing that my prof said that I’ve been ruminating over and want to share with you all is that a lot of people use backstory solely to justify a character’s actions. And if used like that, then it’s really easy to fall into common tropes and make your character feel very two dimensional. Instead, backstory should give your character depth. It can (and likely will) explain some of the character’s attributes/decisions/etc, but it should also add to the character in some way.

Idk I hope I’m explaining that right and in a way that makes sense.

For me, the example that comes to mind is from the show Miraculous Ladybug (I’m not caught up yet with what’s been released on Disney+ so PLEASE NO SPOILERS), where we have two characters, one of whom is a villain and one of whom is a superhero. Character one is a rich fashion designer with a wife who mysteriously disappeared and since then has rarely left his house and still grieves her. Character two grew up isolated, lost his mother as a child and his father is very distant, he was essentially raised by his father’s personal assistant. He was homeschooled, almost completely cut off from the outside world unless it was convenient for his father to parade him around.

Character one seems like he’s set up to be a Batman-like superhero, while character two is set up to be the villain with a chip on his shoulder.

But in reality, character one is the villain terrorizing Paris by preying on people’s negative emotions, while character two is an absolute cinnamon roll of a human who wholeheartedly accepts his role as second in command of a superhero duo, then a superhero team, led by a female superhero. He’s not even an antihero, he just absolutely loves Ladybug and is absolutely willing to accept that she is in charge from the get go. It does also explain some of his attributes/actions (why he loves being a superhero so much bc he finally gets the freedom he never got before; his worst nightmare is being locked up) but it *explains and adds*.

Like. They could’ve used his tragic Disney Princess background to justify making him an asshole. But they gave him the backstory while also making him the sweetest, kindest, ladybug simp possible.

There’s so many things this show gets right (this is just one of them) and even tho it’s a kids show I recommend everyone watch it (at least the earlier seasons… jury’s still out on what Disney has decided to do with it since they acquired it lol)

Anyway. Am hoping to share any other tidbits that I learn along the way, but based on that 7 year gap I am not making any promises 😂

ToG Read-A-Long, Kingdom of Ash, day 2

Ch 7

Dorian

Spider

Is it bad that I kinda like the spider 😂

I just think it’s cute that she told him “you can’t pronounce my name” and then instantly had a human-pronounceable name ready to give him. Girl’s been working on her human-sona all her life and now she finally has an opportunity to unveil it.

Idk, I like spooky characters that are actually friends. Suriel vibes. Hopefully she doesn’t murder them all in their sleep.

Ch 8

Reading about Aelin getting tortured is going to break my feeble heart, I might actually be too soft to endure this, it’s gonna give me nightmares.

I don’t really know Connall that well, but it sucks that Maeve had him stab himself to death. I feel bad for Fenrys too! Like ugh. Emotional damage.

Ch 9

I need a small morsel of hope to cling to right now. I hate this.

Ch 10

Hey, remember when he proposed to you while you were in dragon form

Remember when you said you wanted to slow this down

And now this is happening

Mixed signals, Lysandra

He needs cuddles

That’s what he needs

If you wanna be with Aedion you gotta go get your dragon bod on and cuddle him up

Ch 11

I’m actually kinda surprised to hear Chaol’s father is the last stronghold against Erawan. I guess it makes sense, since he wasn’t too fond of his son serving the King of Adaran… but it just seems like all the villains should be in league with one another, doesn’t it?

If they’re gonna go where witches are - I wonder if we’ll get a sweet Dorian x Chaol reunion?

Probably not. Since I think they’re in two different places and Dorian wants to go into Morath.

But maybe the witches will be nice, and want to make out and join forces!

Ch 12

Fuck, Aelin. I’m broken too. It’s good she has some fight left in her. Very surreal to see her dead mom’s ghost come to comfort her.

Rowan and the others are on the way tho! They’re near enough to feel your fighting spirit! Keep hoping, keep fighting, because babe is on his way. And he’s bringing friends.

Ch 13

They found the Crochans! Do they want to join forces!

This old witch knows exactly who Manon is!

She’s family! And she’s very welcoming! Aw!

Ch 14

Omg ok shit just got real

I think I have too high of hopes for Manon “the child of peace who’s supposed to unite the witches.” She didn’t even try, lol. Just brutally murdered those two covens. I mean - it’s fine - they were kind of being aggressive and came at them first - and maybe it was a show of faith to the Crochan’s to fight and kill so many ironteeth, but! I’m team Dorian a little bit. Team, what if those wyverns were given love and good riders. Team, just because you were raised and trained to be evil doesn’t mean that’s all you’ll ever be.

My heart goes out to him, with that severed Yellowlegs head. He’s learning the hard way that witches can be just as breakable as human women.

Ch 15

“Cyrene slumped to the ground, eyes unseeing.”

Jesus, Dorian! Chill out!

I actually did like her, lol. It’s ok, I wasn’t that attached. Maybe she taught him a little bit about shapeshifting? In her final moment? Maybe Dorian can harness the ability to shapeshift and use that to get into Morath. As a mouse, or something.

And the thing with Manon. Idk. I guess I don’t really know what it means to unite the witches and bring peace. Because some of those witches are vile and violent and deserve to be brutally slaughtered, like Manon’s grandma, who’s pretty much never done anything to redeem herself. But then, other witches are pretty chill and cool once you get to know them. They’re people too, with hopes and dreams and feelings. So I feel like just inviting the Ironteeth here to the Crochan camp and killing them impressively is NOT the way to go about it. But idk if Manon knows any other ways.

Maybe Dorian can help her, but idk.

It’s good to see them talking to each other. Their relationship needs development, lol, so I’m happy to see them developing.

10 Favourite Movies

I was tagged by the charming @aeide & @sleeplessincarcosa Thank you for cursing me with this nearly impossible task, lol 🤍

Alright. These are the ‘all time’ faves that I could rattle out of my weary writing-addled brain. 😊

1. Snatch

This is probably my favourite movie. It’s so clever and funny. I’ve watched it so many times, I literally know some sections word for word.

2. Mud.

This is a coming of age story that plays around with romance tropes in such interesting and clever ways. Mathew McConaughey does his part brilliantly, as usual.

3. The East

About ecoterrorists. Alexander Skarsgard plays a kind of wild hippy Jesus. There are cultish vibes and weird scenes which make me uncomfortable but I dunno. It’s so different from other films I’ve seen, it tickles my brain.

4. Dunkirk

I enjoy Christopher Nolan’s films, and Dunkirk is my fave. It’s the perfect mix of clean gorgeous cinematography, clever use of a time loop, great characters and spot on music. My second most favourite film I guess :)

5. Being John Malkovich

This film is so frickin weird. I love it. I haven’t watched it in ages but it will never leave me.

6. The Gentlemen

Another Guy Ritchie film, and another Mathew McConaughey film. Yes yes yes. This is very nearly as good as Snatch, but with a more of a grown up feeling to it.

7. The Lincoln Lawyer

Alright, fine. I have now revealed that Mathew McConaughey is my weakness 😂 This is an easy watch, with solid writing. It’s one of those movies I put on when I’m drawing. I’m actually watching it right now, in fact.

8. Gettin’ Square

An Australian film about criminals in Queensland starring Sam Worthington (before he was famous) and David Wenham (post LOTR, i think). This is a really fun movie. David Wenham makes an absolute clown of himself. If you only watch one Australian film in your life, i think this should be it.

9. Donnie Darko.

What does it mean? What does it all mean? I will never know. I need to watch this again too, like Being John Malkovich.

10. 1000 Times Goodnight

This movie hits like an absolute emotional freight train. It’s about a photographer who goes into war zones to capture terrible events and the impact that has on her and her life.

[parcequecestnotreprojeeeet]

Hello! It’s Winter! I usually don’t write romantic stories, so please don’t laugh lol. Be gentle on me! 😂

Wedding Jitters

She took a deep breath and turned around, finally seeing her reflection in the mirror for the first time. She felt comfortable and confident in her wedding dress, only slightly worried that it might be too revealing in front of the older guests.

She thought back to her first wedding. It felt like a lifetime ago. Her emotions today were different. Unlike her first wedding, she now felt more excited than anxious.

But there was still a pit in her stomach telling her that something didn’t feel right. She loved her soon-to-be husband more than anything, but loving him came with a price. She lost many close friends over their relationship. Some of whom still refuse to speak to her.

“Wow! Maman! You look beautiful!”

Through the mirror, Brigitte could see Laurence standing in the doorway.

“Sweetie, can we talk for a minute?” She asked her daughter.

There were a few things Brigitte needed to discuss, one being that her children were still approving of the situation. Even though her 3 children told her every day that they loved Manu, Brigitte needed a final confirmation. She assured her mother, on behalf of her siblings, that they all loved and appreciated their stepfather.

10 minutes later, Laurence came out of the room frazzled, accidentally bumping into her future stepdad.

“Are you alright? You seem distracted.” Emmanuel asked. “Is your mother okay? Did something happen?”

“Maman is fine. See you soon, Manu! You look great, by the way!” And with a big smile, Laurence walked away to find her sister.

“Come in!” Brigitte yelled when she heard a gentle knock on her dressing room door.

Standing there in her wedding dress, she instantly took his breath away. “You look beautiful!! No! Beautiful is not a good enough word. You look… perfect! Ugh! Not even perfect sounds worthy enough to describe you!”

She blushed. “Thank you, you look handsome too. But why are you here? It’s bad luck to see each other before the ceremony!”

Emmanuel lovingly rolled his eyes, taking a step forward. “I don’t believe that nonsense. It’s a stupid superstition.”

When she nervously laughed, he immediately sensed the trepidation in her voice. “Are you thinking of leaving me at the altar?” he joked.

Brigitte smiled. “No, honey, nothing like that. I’m just ….” She looked down at the floor. “We need to talk.”

Emmanuel’s heart immediately sped up at the thought of his bride calling off their wedding 30 minutes before the ceremony.

He squeezed her hand, “Are you having second thoughts?”

One by one, Brigitte carefully went over her concerns with him. There weren’t many, but her points were all valid.

After allowing her to talk without interrupting, he revealed a shocking confession.

“I told you I wanted to marry you when I was 17, but that was a lie.”

Brigitte looked at him terrified of what he was going to say next.

“The truth is, I wanted to marry you the moment I saw you. I remember telling myself that I was looking at my future wife when we passed each other in the corridor. I just knew it. Call me crazy, but I felt a connection before we even spoke to each other. My love for you only grew with each passing day. I didn’t know it was possible to love someone this much but you’re the best part of my life.”

She wiped the tears from her eyes.

“Chérie! Don’t cry! You’ll ruin your makeup.” He offered up his handkerchief so she could dry her big, blue eyes. “May I continue?”

She nodded, giving him the go-ahead to continue speaking.

“We won’t get divorced. You never have to worry about that. I love you too much to ever let you go. I will try every single day to be the best husband you deserve. I promise to love you unconditionally until I take my final breath. So, please give me your fragile heart and I will cherish it forever.”

With shaking hands, Brigitte caressed his soft face. “You already have my whole heart. The truth is, you’ve had it for a while.”

Hellooo Winter! ❤️

Hahaha Emmanuel worried that Brigitte was having second thoughts and would leave him at the altar, the sweet potato 🤧 And also, he’s sweet and passionate words to her, opening his heart once again to the love of his life, reassuring her, making all doubts go away 🥺Oh my heart! 🤧😍

You can definitely continue to write romantic stories 🥺😍 (but keep the hot ones too 😂).

Thank you so much, Winter! ❤️❤️❤️

Dreamieeeeeee omg demon Hyunjin… first: while I was reading the end when something loud drops near the reader, at the exact same time something made a loud sound outside my window (it was also 1am when this happened 🫶🏻) and I literally said out loud “NO. Nope, we’re not doing that” 😂

Okay so your descriptions are literally so beautiful. So vivid and picturesque, I almost felt like I could feel these places and emotions, taste the air and the water surrounding the reader. Insane. You always inspire me to get more into my descriptions when writing too like I always feel like I could be more precise and then I read your work and I’m like THIS IS IT!! It’s just gorgeous.

And I should be frightened of this demon but.. there’s something wrong with my brain that’s for sure lmfao also I read this and went to bed a little later and Hyunjin was in my dream so what magic do you have? 👀 lol so anyway, your writing is so gorgeous and amazing (and hot tbh like it was so hot lmfao) you’re a fantastic storyteller and I look forward to anything you post!! 🥰

jacquelineeeee omggggg ❤️ thank you sooo much for reading!!

there were so many times during my writing where im sitting in the dark at my desk and im like.... "what if something creepy happens to me right now...?" like i fr couldn't shake the feeling 😭 now what didn't happen is having hyunjin in my dream?? omg im so jealous ???

funny thing is, while writing i was kinda pulling my hair out because i was feeling like i could have been a bit more detailed, especially with the smut since i was having a bit of a hard time with that, but ultimately, i think it turned out really well. and im very thankful for you and your feedback ❤️❤️🥺
