#they have very vivid imaginations

[natjennie]

im not a pat/julian shipper but it seems especially funny to me if they got into fights like imagine julian's parliment defensiveness coming out like "well, with respect patrick, where's the proof? did you ever actually see me move the spoons, I think not sir!" and then pat forgetting to turn off children tantrum mode so in scoutmaster voice he's like "that wasn't a very nice thing to do to mr. kettle, was it? I think maybe we apologize to him and put him back home with his friends the teabags" like I think there's something here.

#i did imagine this scene out of nowhere the other day #and it was very vivid and quite funny #bbc ghosts #pat butcher #julian fawcett #do they have a ship name idk

[phantomofthehoepera]

one of these days I'm just gonna snap and write a long incoherent post abt my hcs for the largo siblings as kids but for now have this and do not be fooled by them smiling you can rest assured that I envision only suffering in their lives

#i just have this like very vivid mental image of amber and pavi as like child star-esque figures #with obv a tint of the opera thing #also like a thing of luigi specifically being excluded bc i imagine he would be even less controlled as a kid #sorry for having an illness in my brain #my art #repo! the genetic opera #amber sweet #pavi largo

cw BLOOD!!!!

2003 Kinder Yuuichi doodles motivated by this one battle sprite of him with this goofy face ... (also 2003 shunsuke appears there too did I need to draw him differently from my design of him no did i do it anyway yes)

Wanna doodle him more but first I'll be figuring out what's being said in the game ... Do not want to mischaracterize him even if he's slightly different so for now THE SILLY

#re:kinder #except it's kinder but still counts same game just its original shell #yuuichi mizuoka #my art #do yall think the things yuuichi summons are like his ocs or something #he has a very vivid imagination #SPECIALLY IN KINDER i mean honestly its not irrealistic imagery from the mind of an 8 year old #BUT HE HAS QUITE THE VARIETY OF MONSTERS HE CAN COME UP WITH #genuinely wanna know the context of why he summons creepy ol monsters there and then theres mistresses in rekinder #is that like. symbolic of his character in the remake #THATS WHY IM TRYNA NOT DOODLE 2003 YUUICHI TOO MUCH RIGJT NOW #I HAVE A FEELING THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT I REFUSE TO MISCHARACTERIZE #anyway ramble over #that one doodle on the bottom left is based on his silly lil menu icon #like everyone else has a rounndd baby face big bright eyes innocent look #and then theres him looking like the devil emoji #it got a nice chuckle out of me #DUDE IS *NOT* DISIMULATING😭😭😭😭

ok. hear me out. bear with me. ive been struck with an idea for a kny au in which basically genya and kanao become main characters.

keeping in line with the whole "5 senses" theme, genya would have a heightened sense of taste and kanao would have good eyesight. :)

#rambles #demon slayer #kimetsu no yaiba #kny au #demon slayer au #genya shinazugawa #kanao tsuyuri #INCREDIBLY SELF INDULGENT AU AAHHH LIKE #IVE THOUGHT ABOUT THE 5 SENSES THING BEFORE. AND IK THE STORY WOULD PROBABLY WORK JUST FINE WITHOUT A BUNCH OF MAIN CHARACTWRS #BUT I LIKE BIG GROUP DYNAMICS!!!! #AND ALSO we did not get enough of these fharacters. tbh. they are so cool.i wanna see them #also i imagine genyas sense of taste would b something like “he can tell a lot about something/someone just by taste alone” #aka im just imagining him fucking biting people #like he wouldnt. but he would (?) idk it's funny #hed probably like. know exactly what ingredients werw in soething he ate idk #if you ever meed to steal a secret recipe from a rivalling business then hes your guy #and then kanao could see things from very far away + shed probably have god like aim & accuracy #THAT JUSY MAKES ME IMAGINE KANAO WOTH GENYAS FUCKIGN GUN #tanjiro + nezuko + zenitsu + inosuke + genya + kanao is such a fun friendgroup. i like to imagine them going on missions together #i also have the vivid idea in my mind of genya and kanao being stuck on a mission together and #neither of them say a single word to each other. because Kanao doesnt talk much and Genya is very awkward around girls #especially if it is somebody he doesnt know #the idea of them fighting a demon together; never saying a word to each other but eventually getting along maybe? #fighting in sync? learning 2 fight with each other??? idk i like the idea of a silent mission #hold on. thats cool. storing that in my brain #the dynamic is also pretty funny bc kanao is way better at fighting than genya. this poor guy #ALSO NOT TO MENTION THE TASTE AND EYESIGHT THING GOES ALONG WITH THEIR CANON ESTABLISHED CHARACTERS AS WELL!!!

Fun fact when I was 13, I had a dream where Tim tired to run me over with lawn mower 

#marble hornets #mh tim wright #I’m not joking this actually happened to me #I had and still do have a very vivid imagination #text #also in the same dream it involved a mermaid cult as well?

[itslikepullingteeth]

happy mountain march everyone! this is my first one with a blog for ghost lol

i do not have much to say about him just yet, still perfecting my mental image and headcanons…

but i can say this. forest boy is the biggest softie in my head. idk i haven’t gotten super far with personalities yet lol.

and also, i fell down the most ridiculous rabbit hole of researching different species of deer to study their antler shapes/shedding patterns. and in my head, mountain is based off the red deer found in ireland. i saw a red doe once at an ancient monastic settlement when i visited ireland and it was a very magical moment. so now thats mounty in my head. a red deer buck. they have beautiful antlers, regal and tall, a beautiful dark brown. very complimentary to having reddish hair :)

#the band ghost #mountain ghoul #ghost headcanons #mountain march #this will probably be my only contribution but hey it’s something right? lol #one day my ghouls will be realized and i will share them but for now this is all i have #i’m a very slow imaginer. a vivid imagination but it world builds very slowly #nameless ghouls

Do you have any tips for starting a story? The middle and end is easy (lie) but the beginning SUCKS to write sometimes

oh gods no joke openers are one of the hardest part for me. Theres so many ways a story can start, and it makes me CRAZY because that right there is your hook, thats what convinces people to start reading!!!!! And there are so many unique ways one can start, so it ends up feeling a bit like that one reaction image of the girl being handed so so many pancakes

I think for me, what i try to ask myself when sitting down to write an opener is: "what kind of story is this?"

Because each story needs something different to accomplish its goals. A slower story might want to take its time with setting the scene, while an action-packed one might start in media res and with a bang!!! I guess if i had to give advice i would say, take the time to identify what your story is trying to say, and then look at what different openings can do for you to identify that goal.

For example; this is from my fic when the night cries, which is essentially a ghost story:

This was meant to be an introspective story, with a very gentle pace overall, so i took the time to really set the scene, build up the sense of what we're looking at before we get dropped into the fic proper. I remember my thought process for this was: how can i make this unique??? how can i make it FEEL like one of those old paintings with the beautiful yellows and summery oranges, while giving the reader a sense of whats to come?? Adding in the repetition of "it begins" was a way for me to sorta hammer that home: this is the start. This is where the story originates. And in a technical sense, it hooks your attention, with the question and immediate answer within the narration. The intention here is for the reader to want to know why this is important, and now it's answering that, but still leaving gaps for more questions.

Now compare that to, say.... lost in the dark's opening:

The overall pace of hunger au is slow, but this opener isn't-- partially because it's a rough draft, but also because what i wanted out of this scene was a sense of deep, deep urgency. We're in the middle of action; Grian is physically running while he thinks, and i wanted the reader to feel hunted and uncertain with him. Dropping everyone in with Grian at one of his most frightened, shaken points was the best way i felt i could establish that scene, and throughout it i drop hints as to what's actually going on. He's scared. He thinks he's going to hurt people. He's been on the move for a very, very long time. These are all things that are meant to pique interest and get answered later, when the reader is already invested. And i guess in that regard, its really all about timing.

But yeah!! Rambling aside, i'd say try out a few different ways of opening your fic and see what works. Think of em as thumbnails; write maybe 200 or so words at most and see if something works better than something else. I think theres this secret culture of shame among writers for not putting the perfect start down on the page the very first time you open the doc, but it's super normal to have to workshop things around to your liking!!! There's absolutely nothing wrong with writing a few different openers to see what works best for you and your story, and in fact is something i genuinely recommend. Its good practice, and essentially functions as a warm-up!!! You also get the benefit of exploring new angles in a scene, which can sometimes unlock really cool stuff for your writing

Sorry for how long this is, anon!! Hopefully you find my rambling helpful :D thank you for sending in this ask!!!

#shouting speaks #asks #i could go on abt stuff like this for HOURS i go crazy for this sorta thing #also part of the reason chap 6 is taking so long is because i needed to redo the opening scene multiple times #before i realized i actually needed to shuffle the scenes around so they kept interest and good pacing!!! #basically: dont be afraid to just sit down and try looking at things from new angles #also smth i didnt mention bc its very specific to me: i picture things like theyre movies #so i often sorta reflect that pacing in my writing. i have a very vivid imagination so i can see actions and settings VERY clearly #and often what i do is i sorta look at the big picture #and decide okay do i want to start here??? and if i do i slowly zoom in via details until we cut to the actual start #OR. i immediately zoom in so we're seeing the character or setting element right away #so yeah. movie magic ig skfnejdjdjdk #hope this helps!!!! #edit: forgor long post tag #long post #txt

concept: take your kid to work day but you work for The Company

#lethal company #can you imagine though #like it’s objectively going to be bad no matter what you do no matter how safe you try to make it #they’re gonna have a bad time #like even if you tell them to stay on the ship there’s dogs and the possibility of masked men and giants outside #and you and your crew are inside risking your lives and you could all die and the kid is just sat inside the ship waiting for you #and like. if you give them a walkie so you can chat with them they’re going to hear a bunch of grown-ups shitting their pants #and possibly dying #also bonus point in my head i’m imagining like. what if the crew does die?? and they didn’t have enough for quota #so this kid knows they have to arrive with the quota their other parent will be waiting for them at the company #but they know something bad will happen if they don’t meet quota they just don’t know what #so it’s the final day and they decide they have to go to a moon as a last effort to try and make quota to avoid The Consequences #the kid writes the report about it and only gets a C. ‘vivid descriptions and very imaginative. next time write about your parent’s actual #job’

Hey!

I don’t know if you’ve ever answered and ask like this, but i was wondering how you stick with a comic series. How do you manifest plot and such and stick with it without later deciding it’s not good enough for your tastes and completely changing or dropping it as a whole?

Fun fact: I DONT!

Rarely do I have ever stick with a comic! It all comes down to how much I’ve thought about it and what my mind is replaying in my head while at work.

With this comic I’ve been replaying and rewatching parts of it in my head like a show while at work until it’s to my liking then I get home to draw it. I usually don’t sketch a page until I like how the little episode in my head looks.

That might’ve not made sense.

#asks and replies #i have a very vivid imagination #kinda? #it’s like I’m in a movie theatre #and i Can fuck around with the screen like it has 3D models

[hollowknightinsanity]

oh boy, i love writing explicit gore! i sure hope i dont accidentally trigger my emetophobia by thinking about the other characters’ reactions

that would just be terrible!

#text #hk:ep #*normal sounds* #my dumbass writing abt blorbo bleebus being severely injured to the point of actually revealing their own organs #like i didnt stop watching higurashi after the episode that purple haired girl whose name i forgot got her ass sacrificed uncensored #and like i dont have a very vivid imagination that can bring up very specific images when it wants to #like haha yeah this very explicitly gory fanfiction will CERTAINLY not trigger an emetophobia-fueled panic attack when i say the characters #almost fucking vomit! i will be Fine. Definitely One Hundred Percent Fine and nothing will happen #should i tag this as higurashi spoilers

[spicebiter]

i binged the comic What Happens Next and it might be the sleepytired amplifying the feeling but it feels so genuine in a way I hardly ever see in something of it's genre that i actually feel nauseous over it. and to be clear that's extremely complimentary in this case. it's extremely compelling and well done and i am... distraught in the best way

#spiced #what happens next #fair warning this one is NOT for the faint of heart it is a legitimately upsetting read #it's got extremely raw qualities to it that will tear up your fucking brain if you're not okay with having your brain torn and even then #i'm the same age as the protag and the era that the flashbacks take place in feels so vivid in my brain it's really doing something to me #i think like that aspect of recalling what that time was like makes me able to imagine myself in the shoes of characters and i go aaaaaaaaa #idk i'm very tired it's good tho

[phlavours]

im glad I'm not the only one that has characters that are used just for imagining random scenarios while falling asleep

SAME!!! I see so many awesome creators write/draw such great stories for their ocs but i'm perfectly happy just having mine for self indulgent day/night dreaming purposes LOL

I've tried writing their story and I have some thoughts but my mind always runs away and it gets so complex its not even good hence why I just like thinking up little scenarios rather than a huge overarching plot.

#doodle #oc #original character #original art #concept art #i always wanted to draw and write a webcomic but im deffo not committed enough for a project that big #i think i have a very vivid imagination too so i easily can imagine these guys in settings just for myself

#apparently I started believing in ghost as a trauma response #bc when i cried for help to adults about hearing stuff all i got told was that i have a very vivid imagination #also i started having second thoughts way too early #I LOVE THERAPY #i just ask her what's wrong with me and she just tells me #and that's all for what i actually remember #we haven't yet gotten into repressed memories and all the years i spent dissociating my ass off #also being told that my childhood was traumatic felt so good #I'm not crazy :') #it really was bad #also i was correct when i assumed that i practically raised myself #I'm finally getting justice
