how to generate creative ideas:
(i need to get this out of my brain)
Make moodboards, playlists, keep a list of people who inspire you. Before starting a project think about the general vibe you want it to embody. Ask questions like “What would this concept sound like if it was a song?” ,“What would this concept be like if it was a person?”. Create a shirt that looks like a building you like, literally anything can be combined.
Take unrelated things or concepts and mix them together. Let’s take Addams Family as an example. “What if it was a story about a typical suburban family…but GOTH!”. It basically flips everything upside down. Or “What outfit would someone wear, who’s personality is the mix of the vibes of these two songs?” Random word generators are amazing for this if you don’t know where to start from.
Try making something truly BAD and then add a twist to it. It’s a great way for your brain to let go of expectations and then think outside of the box. But you can also use this to find out what you do not wanna do under any circumstances.
Think without worrying about the limits of what you can do and when it’s time for excecution, find a way around what’s impossible. It births more creativity and adds uniqueness.
Consider what your idea is NOT before considering what it is. Limits are the best way to avoid getting overwhelmed and giving up. Don’t ALWAYS do this though (unless you wanna…), it’s just something to try out when you feel like you’re seeing too many possibilities to the point that they’re contradicting each other. Unless your goal is to make something full of contradictions, you’re a Free Man, do whatever you want.
Keep a list of random ideas you have throughout the day in your notes app or something and then at some point actually review them. Keep what you think is worth exploring and then act on it.
Find out how something works very throughoutly so you know which aspect can be changed to create something new.
Take a concept and break it down into smaller concepts, ideas, questions, key elements and then also break those ideas down etc. This will naturally lead to associations, unique ideas you wouldn’t think of without doing this. I found that this is a great way of coming up with metaphors.
This one is similar to the last two: take a piece of art you really love and try to find out the thought process behind. What’s the story, where did the artist get inspiration from, how did they incorporate those ideas in their work. How did an artist combine their personal interests and knowledge into one big thing. For example: Tolkien was an erudite linguist, so much so that he created entire functional languages in his work, such as Elvish in Lord of the Rings. Hirohiko Araki loves 80’s music so much he named characters in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure after music references. This is why no knowledge is useless knowledge.
Think about the times you’ve been the most creative before. What were the specific circumstances? For me my best ideas always come when I have a strict deadline for something unrelated, like school (which I’m way too willing to sacrifice), or when I’m doing something mindless like walking and listening to music, or playing a game that requires no thinking. Most of the time after 10p.m. This doesn’t mean I can’t “force” myself to be creative (tips above), it just means these are the times ideas come most naturally. For some people this might be being out in nature or experiencing high emotions, maybe having their life on the line idk, to each their own.
You can’t just create. You also need to consume. The more information you absorb, the more possibilities you have with your ideas. So if you’re not feeling that creative, that’s fine, it’s the perfect opportunity to learn something new.
If you don’t already do these things and you’re looking to get more creative my advice is to ACTUALLY TRY THESE OUT. You’ll best understand them in action.

no offense but i think it’s disgusting of the writers to say “hey, let’s make a gay character in love with his best friend, but then that same gay character gets kidnapped as a child because a random girl comes out of nowhere and opens a gate to an alternate dimension. then the girl meets the best friend of the boy who got kidnapped, which results in them eventually starting a romance. oh but wait! it gets worse. let’s make the boy and girl’s relationship horrible and show that they don’t work together as a couple at all because they barely communicate, have nothing in common, don’t understand each other and rushed into romance at 12 years old. we’ll eventually make them close to breaking up but then use the traumatised gay kid as a plot device to force them back together while he continues suffering all alone after sacrificing his own feelings for his best friend who he loves more than anything. the straight couple who don’t even understand each other get to be stuck together, while the gay kid suffers as always. sounds about right!”
like if byler isn’t endgame at this point, the show is ruined and the writers are absolutely horrible for basically replacing will with el in his own story and taking the most important person away from him while constantly rubbing it in his face and forcing him to watch mike and el together. their entire relationship is a slap in the face to will and it’s just insulting.
hope that helps!

And I hope they don’t work it out… respectfully
If you’re feeling stupid today, at least you’re not a melvin shipper who thinks this is a couple that’s more solid than ever (especially after that monologue)

*actual screenshots from where they have just glanced at each other*
