bringing it up again for the millionth time but I'm still obsessed with the way that hannibal lecter is canonically aware of the narrative not because its ever explicitly stated but because the author who created him genuinely believes this to be true and stopped writing the book series because he's afraid of him

FIRST step to enjoying any media is getting attached to the character whose suicidal tendencies are the most obvious

you must always think about a mentor figure exploiting the power imbalance with their mentee. and you must sexualise it as well. otherwise a gazillion hungry angels are going to hell

good smut is really a character study and that is final. i need it to be about vulnerability i need it to be about trust or lack thereof and most of all i need it to be emotional agony. thats what sex is for

Me when a character starts experiencing an agonizingly, Horrifically, painful transformation :

[deathbywhump]

lovely character. i want to watch him drown in his shame

[deathbywhump]

a character who isn't used to being cared for or treated kindly being gently and tenderly cared for for the first time in years or maybe ever. save me

[deathbywhump]

um sorry for moaning when you stabbed me. it's been a really long time since anyone touched me like that

Daily affirmations

I am a freak and that is ok

Anyone who hates on me for my writing has never picked up a pencil in their life

I should be more self indulgent

My characters should suffer more

[deathbywhump]

hm yes i like this character. now shoot him 5 times in a parking lot.

[deathbywhump]

for me to like a character one thing they have to be is highly hurtable

not all ships are For wanting them to be in a happy healthy relationship together. sometimes shipping two characters means you want them to be erotically obsessed with each other and become entwined in a mutually toxic love affair for a few months and then horrifically break each other's hearts and never speak again. sometimes you want them to be codependent best friends with enough repression to explode a submarine who only make out/have sex when they're at their worst. sometimes you want them to pine after each other for years, never say anything, and then die. sometimes you want them to kill each other. this, too, is shipping

some of you need to realize that your faves would be having unsafe bdsm sex because they don’t actually know what bdsm sex is, they just want to fuck and also kill each other. you must understand this.

Pleeeeaaase kick your characters while they’re down. Arms tied behind them, kick em in the stomach, the face, better yet why not just break their arms while you’re at it

I LOVE helpless and dire whump, make escape impossible, no sympathy

Everyone keeps talking about "the writer's barely disguised fetish". But I still haven't heard about "the writer's barely disguised huge ass pet peeve"

its so fun to make a character whose moral compass is not actually based on their own personal ideals but is a poor imitation of a more grounded person they care about. if a beautiful woman disagrees with me i will immediately change my views. idgaf about this problem but my best friend WILL get mad at me if i don't help solve it

[deathbywhump]

when I put characters in situations that do not make sense thematically it's fine because I know I understand their core Principles and that I'm just having fun. when other people do it it's evil
