How to create an atmosphere: Supermarket
Sight
advertisements for products
big signs showing discounts
aisles full of colorful products
fresh produce
employees in matching uniforms
all different kinds of costumers
with shopping carts
with children running around
with a stroller or toddlers sitting in the shopping cart
with a service dog by their side
Hearing
the sound of shopping carts being pushed and bumping into shelves
parents calling for their children
people talking on the phone
a man asking his wife if they still have enough toilet paper at home
someone asking the employee where they can find something
music interrupted by announcements about promotions the store is doing
the surring and beeping sound of the cash register belt
the sound of the electronic doors opening and shutting again
Touch
the stickiness of the floors
the differents textures of each item they think about buying
the coldness and often stickiness of the handle of the shopping cart
the sudden wetness from some products that are either fresh produce or where the package is leaking
Smell
the smell of spilled drinks that someone dropped and left for the employees to clean up
the smell of cleaning products from them having to sweep it up
the smell of hand sanitizer
the smell of different products the costumer holds up to their face and smells to decide if they like it
the horrendous smell of deposit machines where you return your not quite empty beer bottles to and the leftover liquid spills everywhere
Taste
different samples offered at the supermarket

~ IN A VOID ~ FORESHADOWING DEPRESSION PROMPTS
Tumblr media
requested by: @crochet-cafe request: How can I foreshadow or hint that my character has severe depression? I want to make the reveal a big deal when it happens and catch readers off guard
Feel free to use and reblog!
having other characters associate the person's mood with their character traits ("they're always grumpy")
masking their depression really well but being absolutely drained and a lot worse as soon as they're alone
appearing as a 'neutral' person, when their neutral mood actually indicates the emptiness they feel inside
their growing passivity makes them fade into the background
the more excited other people get the more downcast the person becomes (they get perceived as a killjoy)
they don't accept invitations anymore
they always say they're busy but can't answer the question what exactly they're doing
they show no emotional reaction in a fight
everyone says about the person that they have such a hard shell
they usually have been very caring and sensitive to everyone around them but suddenly they seem like they couldn't care less
for more inspiration/how to help: ~ SHOWING SUPPORT FOR SOMEONE WITH DEPRESSION ~ WRITING PROMPTS
note: If you or someone you know feels that way and really needs help, please seek professional help <3

“I’m not ill!”
“Yes you are, you’re burning up.”
“I’m not burning up! Look, I’m cold, I’m shivering! How can I be burning up if I’m shivering?”
“…”
“Alright, maybe I’m ill.”
Bonus points if whumpee is speaking all garbled and frantic because of the fever.
we love a stubborn, disoriented whumpee

Idea I might make into a story:
So you know fae or fairy's kidnap human children sometimes in mythology? What if the reason they did that was to shrink the children down to their size, and give them wings and magic, turning them into fae.
So one day, a young fairy finds out how fae are made, and runs away to find their human parents.
I'd love to write something like this myself, but feel free to use this concept (and if you end up making anything, tag me in it 👍)

Person A: Thanks for mansplaining that to me. Person B: You’re very welcome. I like to use my gender-fluidity to be the worst aspects of every gender. Person C: Gender, but for villains.

I can’t remember if this is canon for Until I Found You or not but I recall thinking about making Leo have narcolepsy instead of insomnia at one point

I'd rather die having had a chance to love you than dying without ever having loved at all.

PROMPT
The Bats™ CONSTANTLY show up unannounced for info, hangout time ECT. Babs will be chilling on her computer casually stalking someone for info and when she turns to take a sip of tea from her mug, Bruce is there leaning over her, another time she was making some eggs and bacon and out of nowhere Jason just appeared behind her saying she needed to add more pepper. They keep randomly showing up that when she doesn't want to deal with them, she'll wip out "Woody" a wooden brome and smack them with it for either scaring her or not leaving her alone. Even after she got into the wheelchair, she just added an extender with some grip and still uses it. Batman brooding in the left corner of the ceiling? No problem she'll just swat him down for ya!

How to show emotions
Part IV
How to show bitterness
tightness around their eyes
pinched mouth
sour expression on their face
crossed arms
snorting angrily
turning their eyes upward
shaking their head
How to show hysteria
fast breathing
chest heaving
trembling of their hands
weak knees, giving in
tears flowing down their face uncontrollably
laughing while crying
not being able to stand still
How to show awe
tension leaving their body
shoulders dropping
standing still
opening mouth
slack jaw
not being able to speak correctly
slowed down breathing
wide eyes open
softening their gaze
staring unabashingly
How to show shame
vacant stare
looking down
turning their head away
cannot look at another person
putting their head into their hands
shaking their head
How to show being flustered
blushing
looking down
nervous smile
sharp intake of breath
quickening of breath
blinking rapidly
breaking eye contact
trying to busy their hands
playing with their hair
fidgeting with their fingers
opening mouth without speaking
Part I + Part II + Part III

subtle ways to include foreshadowing
one character knowing something offhandedly that they shouldn't, isn't addressed until later
the crow rhyme
colours!! esp if like, blue is evil in your world and the mc's best friend is always noted to wear blue...betrayal?
write with the ending in mind
use patterns from tragic past events to warn of the future
keep the characters distracted! run it in the background until the grand reveal
WEATHER.
do some research into Chekhov's gun
mention something that the mc dismisses over and over
KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU PUT. don't leave things hanging.
unreliable characters giving information that turn out to be true
flowers and names with meanings
anything with meanings actually
metaphors. if one character describes another as "a real demon" and the other turns out to be the bad guy, you're kind of like...ohhh yeahhh
anyways add anything else in the tags
