How to write angst ?
@urfriendlywriter | req by @everynowandthenihaveacrisis @aidyaiden :)
know your character. from their deepest fears to what they cherish the most. know your deepest fear, ask yourself how you will react and feel at that moment. "oh shit, if this happened to me I'll lose my mind" what's that type of scenario for you? write it. :)
decide on the type of angst you are going for!
major, minor, physical, emotional, paranormal, spiritual, verbal, abusive, quarrel, misunderstanding, etc.
and then, decide on--what reaction you can take out of your character by doing what to them.
are they gonna be, held at a gunpoint to give something up? or have their soul wrecked by whom they thought were close to them? or is it going be horror, or etctec, decide on it.
moving on to actually writing it-
Tip 1 - Use sensory details.
her eyes brimmed with tears
his chest heaved
pain clawed at his heart, as his face twisted with hurt
his scream pierced my heart
her lips quivered
she dug her nails into her palms (to distract herself, to stop it from shaking, etc)
show what is happening to ur MC, instead of telling it.
Tip 2 - how to actually write it.
If they're panicking, make them notice too many things at once, show every detail that they're seeing, feeling, from touch, to that burning sensation on their eyes, the blood on the ground, that dryness of their throat, the buzzing in their head and their parted lips unable to trust their own sight, and--and, boom! have them register that they're really really in trouble. and that they've to act fast.
use short, very minimal type of writing for this. make it long, but not long enough that it feels like it's being dragged.
the readers should hold themselves back from skimming the page out of curiousity, they should be in their toes to find out what happens next.
what does your MC do in times of panic? do they chant calm down to themselves, do they get angry, or start crying.. or?? what makes your character genuinely feel an emotion so hard that they'll burst?
there's always something, someone that'll always give them love and easily can be that something or someone to take it away. yk.
Tip 3 - crying.
what is close to your character that u can deprive them of? will it make them cry? beg for it?
what will make ur character cry so hard, that their scream fills everyone's ear, stays in their minds like ghosts and always haunts them?
make a character who never cries, burst out with tears.
while writing crying, focus on the 5 senses, one after the other.
focus it on their breath, make them run out of breath, gasp for air, feel like they're being choked, cry so scrutinizingly. it shud punch the reader's gut.
have them replay what had just happened over and over again in their head
best books and writing styles (for angst) to analyse and learn from (in my opinion);
3rd book in the AGGTM series (yk it hit hard like a truck. it got me depressed in bed the entire time lmao)
Five Survive by Holly Jackson. The moments of red outside of the truck, and moments leading to it.
there's this book called " Warm by @untalentedwriter127 " in wattpad. the author served angst for breakfast, lunch anddd dinner.
and if there's more angsty ones, drop em in the comments! :)
Hope this helps, tag me when yall write a masterpiece! ;)

"I'm trying."
"Well, you aren't trying your best."
"But I am!"
"Still, your best is not enough."
"That's because nothing I do will be enough in your eyes. I don't even know why I'm still trying my hardest to please you."

Sarcastic Character Dialogue Prompts (2)
The first one did really well and frankly I don't have any more ideas for prompts besides these so. Here is another one. Check my page for the first one!
"Of course dogs like me more than you, everyone likes me more than you."
"Why do you hate me?" "You're projecting. You hate you, so you think I hate you. I mean, I do hate you but not because of whatever you're perceiving."
"I have more riveting conversations with my plants. And they can't speak."
"The sign says, NO IDIOTS ALLOWED, but I should have known that you're too stupid to read."
"You were adopted." "Given the current climate of foster homes, being adopted is a compliment now, so thank you."
"I could kiss you right now." "You smell like ass and I'm sure its because of your breath. No thank you."
"I thought you said you knew what you were doing!" "I lied. I don't know what I'm doing. Youtube does though."
"Who lied to you so much in your childhood that you're this fucking delusional about your own reality?"
"What would your mother have to say about that?" "Oh yeah I'm sure her rotting corpse has a LOT to say right now."
"Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" "Do you kiss your mother at all? Your concerns about my mouth now seem much smaller compared to what you might be doing with yours."
(completely deadpan) "Oh no, I'm so scared. I'm screaming in terror. I'm shaking in fear. I'm never going to recover--" "Can you stop it?" "--I'm peeing my pants. I'm sobbing hysterically. I'm absolutely frightened in the worst ways possible."
These prompts are weak as fuck. I wrote this right before I went to bed. Maybe I should avoid doing sequels.

pride month drabble challenge fill #1
prompts: 15. Transmasc + 9. Moonlight + 7. "Do you ever get afraid?" (prompts)
fandom: XCOM 2 (gen verse)
TWs/CWs: none
---
They're standing on the flight deck with Central, the cold moonlight turning them both silver black blue. Beside them, their XO stares out over the railing toward the distant glittering night shine of a city center.
His breath fogs in the air, and the Commander wishes they had those stupid sweaters still. They itched but they were warm, and the wind that rushes over the deck is frigid enough that they'd be willing to wear the damn thing again.
The Commander studies Central's face. He looks like they've always wished, no longer the clean and proper young man he was, more rugged and just--
Their stomach twists.
Masculine. Almost stereotypically so. He has it so effortlessly. They never will-- they don't know the state of gender affirming health care now and frankly? They'd rather not; it'd make them cry more than everything already does.
But they look at Central and they're envious. They look at him and they want to wear his skin. They look at him and mourn what they can't be.
Their capture did nothing to help. They guess it's nice that they didn't age, but... that's time they've lost. They'll never get it back. Time they could have--
Could have what? No time for transitioning when the world's on fire, they think bitterly.
Central looks over at them.
"You're looking awfully pensive," he says. "Something eating you, Commander?"
"Do you ever get afraid?" they ask.
Their central officer's mouth drops a bit in a frown. "Not sure I'm following," he says. "Of the aliens? The war? The Chosen? What's next? You're gonna need to be--"
"Of -- of not getting --"
Their voice trails off. What does their dysphoria matter, in this time? So meaningless admist the horrors. They shove their hands in their pockets and look at their feet.
Central's eyes are on them. "Ohhh," he says as they try not to meet his gaze. "Ohh, you think you don't deserve to talk about whatever it is, I see."
He scoffs. "Well, I think you do," he says, looking back out at the city center. "Even if it seems small to you, it still means something. You should get to talk about it."
"Thanks, Central," they say.
"So what is it?"
They take a long breath of the crisp cold air, feel it burn in their chest. "I'm not who I'm supposed to be," they say, hesitantly. "And I probably won't ever get to be."
Central's looking at them again.
Their stomach churns under his soft gaze. "Stop," they say. "Stop, you're pitying me."
"I am not," he retorts. "I still don't even really get it but maybe I don't have to. This is a trans thing, right?"
They nod.
"I won't ever know what that's like," Central continues. "I won't claim that I would or will, but..." He pauses. "I don't know, if I can help somehow, I'd like to."
The Commander shifts weight from foot to foot, is still avoiding eye contact. "I don't know what you could even do," they say. "I mean, besides what you do already, with pronouns and..."
"Yeah, but that's just being a decent human," Central says.
"Maybe that's all I can really ask, all you can really do," the Commander says. "Not like you can just manifest a surgeon or HRT or whatever."
"If I could I would," he says. "I could... someone has to be helping folks in the resistance transition. I'll look around."
The Commander smiles a little, shuffles a little closer to Central.
"You're right," they say. "There has to be somebody, something." They hesitate. "I just...sometimes I feel like I'm alone, and that it'll never happen, and that I have to settle. That's what I mean."
"You shouldn't ever have to settle," Central says. "Not on something like this-- when it's about yourself and your life and..." He struggles a second. "You should get to be happy."
The Commander wants to reach for his hand. They don't. Instead they say, "You should too."
He looks away, back toward the cityscape and its neon lights. "I've got mine," he says. "Your turn now, Commander."
The Commander closes the distance between them, leans on him. "What if we both got ours? Got to be happy?" they say. "What about that, Central?"
Central stiffens under their weight, and then relaxes a bit. "I'd like that," he says, his voice quiet, slow. The Commander can feel his body rising and falling with each breath under their ear.
"Me too," they say. "Me too."

OTP WRITING PROMPT - Through The Seasons
Winter: Only person A has gloves, so they give away their left glove to person B. “What are we going to do with my right, and your left? It will still be cold.” inquired B. Silently, A intertwines their hands, blaming the cold for their flushed face. B stares straight ahead and realizes warmth won’t be a problem, they feel enough of it in their chest.
When Valentines comes around, they both shove chocolates into each others arms and awkwardly run away, faces aflame. The next time they hang out, they don’t mention it. Until Person B smiles, pulls out the chocolates they got from A, and offers to share. A blushes and pulls out the chocolates they got from B. They share each others chocolates. They don’t realize, until they’re each lying awake that night, that this means the other was keeping their chocolates with them the whole time.
Spring: Person A adores the Springtime- all flowers and fruit and greenery and new beginnings!! Person B despises it. Probably has something to do with the fact that they’re allergic to pollen. Each find the others love/hatred impossibly endearing. Despite their allergy, B gets A flowers multiple times just to see their face light up. Their hearts light up too, but no one knows. Yet.
Summer: Overcome with heat (don’t nobody DARE take that out of context), Person A strips to undershirt layer/puts on swimsuit/ sweats through clothes and Person B can’t take their eyes off of all that damN SKIN-
A notices them watching and subtly flexes muscles/unbuttons shirt/rolls up shorts/etc just to see Person Bs eyes go wider and wider. A also tries and fails to pretend they’re not obsessed with Bs frizzy hair. Why?? Why is it so... cute?? B hates their summer hair, but it's just so big and fluffy and... oops, A keeps touching it. Honestly, it’s too hot to touch eachother, but that doesnt stop them from trying. 
They’re out getting ice cream when A’s cone goes crashing to the ground. As they’re pouting, B places their cone on front of A’s nose. A turns to B, surprised. B’s arm, they notice, is outstretched like a promise, and B is glaring at the ground. “In return for the glove last winter.” A somehow manages to feel even hotter in that moment. “I-I didn’t know you still remembered that.” B shrugs, looking up in time to see A lick the ice cream cone that they’re now sharing. B can’t look away, and in some god-forsaken act of impulsivity, A winks at them. It’s quiet for a while after that.
Fall: Person B suggests going on a walk, A wholeheartedly agreeing. “No way you’re going out like that!” Says B. “Oh come on, it’s really not that cold out!” Retorts A. “At least take this.” B wraps their scarf around As neck, accidentally brushing As collarbone with their fingertips. Neither break eye contact, even when they’re blushing. The hope that the other might like them back has been growing all Spring and Summer, and the yearning is reaching its breaking point. 
Going outside, Person B comments on how pretty the landscape is. A says “not as pretty as you” without even thinking. It’s as if the words fell out of their mouth. Both of their hearts are threatening to explode, because A never flirts explicitly, not like that. 
The yearning is cracking. 
They’re nearly done with their walk, but as they’re turning a corner/rounding a bend Person A slips and falls backwards, only to be caught by Person B. They’re looking at eachother. They see only eachother.
The yearning is splintering.
The only thing A has to do, and does, is flick their gaze down to Bs lips. “Can I…” they whisper. A can’t finish, do B does it for them. “Yes, please.”
And the yearning breaks.
To this day, neither know who pulled who, but they DO know they crashed into eachother like magnets, lips against lips, finally, finally, after a year of pining gazes and longing touches. They married in fall, 2 years later, and have never felt happier/more fulfilled in their entire lives.
Cue Girl in Red’s “We Fell In Love In October”.

What's the point of teaching me so much as if I'm going to live a lot longer than others...I'm no Steve Jobs...I'm sorry life but i need you to know I'm bad at connecting dots...I'm finding it pathetically hard to connect the dots... it's not connecting at all...! I get it...you are preparing me for whatever I asked for...but the thing is...I'm not sure what I even asked you.? Or even if I know, how is it possibly making me prepared for that? I don't have any remarks for you right now..! I don't...I'm feeling so neutral and overwhelmed all at once. As if this is not me, but a mixture of me in this universe and from a parallel universe ....

"Who's your safe place?"
He takes a swig and tilts his head backward, letting it rest on the back of his chair.
"No one."
She raises an eyebrow at that. "Why?"
"People come and go. It's best if you don't make a person your safe place."

“The second guess never left, that feeling in my gut that says none of it is real. Don’t you see that I can’t trust your love? I never slayed the demon in the mirror that tells me I am not worth it.”

Fellas- I have a confession...
I was a movie girly only-
I KNOW I KNOW- I WILL HAND YOU THE STONES MYSELF-
Id always wanted to read the books but never commited- and they were always checked out at my schools library. But I just got off for the semester and Ive been needing some more inspo for my writing and something to get me back into reading.
SO I just thrifted (almost) all of the books- and starting now I will be reading them and posting my reactions of the text both so I have a lil dialouge to keep track of the series AND because that way I can spam as someone who only knows HP as the movies and from obsessing over the fandom for so many years.
Wish me luck.
TL:DR- Im reading HP for the first time, stay tuned for reactions.
