"You know what, forget I asked."

*5 seconds of silence*

"So why does your hair-"

*swings blade*

*dodges*

"Got it. Don't insult the ugly hairstyle."

Writing Prompt #2

She's an open book, but it's written in a language that nobody can read.

His book has five encryption layers, nine biometric locks, a thirty-three digit passcode, and requires a blood sacrifice to open.

That moment when your side character's backstory is so good that you change the entire story to revolve around them instead

the worst part of writing is when you realize you accidentally gave a side character a better arc than the main character.

Writing Prompt #1

"Did you have to set fire to the castle, though?"

"Hey, a little destruction of a national landmark never hurt anyone."

"National landmark- that's my home!"

This has the same energy as looking up a character while you still haven't completed the book/tv series etc and the search result being:

*character name* death

the fact that I’ve actually had this happen multiple times when I’ve entered a new fandom is hilarious like what do you MEAN
