Jealousy Prompts

"Maybe I am a little bit jealous. But who wouldn't be?"

“Does he not know that we’re together?”

"Please, go with them if you like them so much better."

“You’re naive if you think he just wants to be your friend.”

“He shouldn’t go after other people’s girlfriends!”

“I’m not jealous, I’m being absolutely reasonable.”

“Have you even told him about me?”

"Jealous? Me? Pff. Never."

“I never would have thought I’d ever be jealous about that.”

“People are staring at us.” “Well, let’s make them jealous.”

“Jealousy doesn’t suit you. I like to see you smile more.”

“Hey, look at me. I’m yours and no one can change that.”

"Oh, so they are just a friend, right? That's what you're telling me?"

“I don’t like them all looking at you.”

“What would I be jealous about?”

"Maybe you should back off a little."

"I just want to have a good time, I don't need your jealousy all night."

"Why do you insist on flaunting him in my face?"

“I didn’t just imagine that!”

"Oh, you're so jealous. This is great to watch."

"This is your work place, leave the boyfriend at home next time."

"Why would I ever be jealous of someone like them?"

“He’s so obvious. It’s embarrassing.”

“Do you want to make me jealous?”

"I can't understand what you would see in them."

“Are you jealous?” “No, I’m not!” “Oh, you really are jealous! Wait, why would you be jealous?”

"Can you please stop being so jealous for one second?"

"I trust you, I just don't trust them."

"Jealousy is not a word I'm familiar with.

"Shut up, I'm not jealous!"

Showing 'Jealousy' in Writing

Eyes narrowing with a sharp, intense stare.

Clenched jaw and pursed lips.

Crossing arms defensively.

Making snide or sarcastic remarks.

Glancing repeatedly at the object of jealousy.

Trying to outdo or one-up the rival.

Faking a smile that doesn’t reach the eyes.

Speaking in a tense, clipped tone.

Avoiding eye contact with the person they’re jealous of.

Drumming fingers impatiently on a surface.

Feeling a burning sensation in the chest.

Sighing loudly or rolling their eyes.

Gritting teeth and taking deep, forced breaths.

Biting their lower lip hard.

Tapping foot incessantly.

Passive-aggressively commenting on the situation.

Mimicking or mocking the rival’s behavior.

Frequently changing the subject away from the rival.

Feeling a knot tighten in their stomach.

Casting resentful, sidelong glances.

[eliza-writes-stuff]

writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Magic System Ideas

Magic is an inherent part of our fantasy novels, and often the most attractiv piece of setting.

Here's a list of different types of magic systems you may

01. ♫ Music-Based Magic

 an ancient song of summoning or a pied-piper type of hypnosis.

What if inanimate objects were a part of the musical process? Beyond just magical instruments, how do the surroundings, the acoustics, and the environment react to the music and the magic?

Does musical magic require years of study and practice? Or does it require natural talent? If only some songs are magical, how does that affect the world’s perception of musicians?

Just like music is often played with multiple instruments, in what ways could your magic be enhanced by a larger group or a specific number of musicians, such as a quartet? What if magical beings were needed to join in before the magic worked?

If a magical creature reacts aggressively to magical music when it hears it, how does that change your system?

02. 🎭 Culture-Base Magic

Magic is derived from culture.

How does the history of magic impact your user?

How is the cultural knowledge of magic passed down across generations?

Does it rquired cultural experiences, such as a pilgrimage?

How does this "magical culture system" interact with the government, religion or education?

If cultural norms are broken, how does it affect your magic?

Is a community of people required fr the magic to work?

03. 🎨 Art-Based Magic

If only some art is magical, what makes it magical? What happens to non-magical art and non-magical artists?

Does your magic require extremely specific forms of art or a specific medium?

If your magic requires a work of art, how does that art come to be? Who has access to it?

What if your hero is a starving artist?

What would a magical art museum be like? What would people be experiencing in such a place?

04. ⏳ Time-Based Magic

If you could create fire, but for only one minute a day and only at the same time every day, how would you use that ability? Now apply that to your magic system.

If a magical ability or magical energy is strongest at a specific time, what happens to the use of that ability?

If you cast a spell that only takes effect in 24 hours, how much planning would your character have to do to make sure that the spell was successful?

What if your magic system changed with age or changed over time?

05. 👗 Fashion-Based Magic

If your mage has to be well dressed for their magic to work, what happens if they have to use a spell inconspicuously?

If access to fashion is restricted, how does that affect your world and your magic?

If your main character has no sense of fashion, how does that change the way they interact with a fashion-obsessed world?

What spell effect would cause someone to change the way they are dressed?

If it is always visually obvious who is capable of which spells, how does that change magical conflicts?

06. ⚔️ Weapon-Based Magic

Legend-born magical swords, chakras and tridents: Excaliber, Riptide, etc.

Is there a condition for the user to become the "true owner" of the weapon/tool?

Does the magical weapon have it own "consciousness"?

Is there a cost for someone to claim the magcial weapon?

07. ⚗️ Science-Based Magic

Where magic must be theoretically researched and experimented in order to be developed.

Who is allowed to experiment with new, dangerou magic?

What facilities are required to development new magic spells/substances?

Are there different types of magic? If yes, how are they different from each other?

Is there an institution that professionally carried out magical research?

08. 🌑 Substance-Based Magic

Potions and magical foods, plasma, or pills.

Are there any consequences of intaking too much or too little?

Does the substance need to be stored/ingested in a particular way?

09. 🤝 Relationship-Based Magic

Where lovers, soul-bounded friends, families can wield speical magic.

Is there a bonding ritual for the magical power to be bestowed?

Do the people in this relationship have to be together for the power to work?

What happens to the other when one party dies?

Is there a way for this "relationship" to be reversed?

10. 🙏 Religion-Based Magic

This is where the gods grants magical powers based on a character's faith.

If gods grant powers, but they have been forgotten, what happens? What do the gods do?

How can multiple religions interact with the same magic system? How does this affect the ways your people use the magic and whatconflicts can arise from these differences?

Instead of the typical “forces of evil versus forces of light” trope, how could your religious magic system have contrast? What other forces and conflicts could be built around the religious system?

Combine your magic systems! That makes them that much more interesting :)

can you do one sided love dialogues? pleaseee and thank u 💕 love your page 💕

List of “return to sender: anything but my feelings” prompts

“The only thing I am to you is a shoulder to cry on, aren’t I?”

“You’ll always be out of reach from me, won’t you?” 

“The only thing you’re keeping guarded is your heart, and no matter what I do, I’m not the one who’s going to get access to it.”

“Will it ever be me?”

“I’m not asking for these feelings to be returned. I’m just asking you to understand that I’m in love with you and whatever you do isn’t going to make me stop.”

”I can respect you not liking me back, and I’m not trying to say you have to like me back in any way shape or form, but I’d really appreciate if you can respect my feelings for you.”

“…Do you know what I’d give to stop being in love with you?”

Character B, while looking at Character A, a sad glint in their eyes, says, “The person I like isn’t going to like me back. And frankly, I’m fine with that, because as long as I have them in my life then… That’s all I can really ask for.”

“I hate to be that person, but I really don’t think I can be just friends with you.”

“What did you wish for?” “Nothing but my heart back from someone who’s never going to see me the way I see them.”

Writing Prompt: Dialogue

"What makes you so special?"

"I... What?"

"Why is it that you are the one that makes me feel this way? I could have anyone I wanted, at any time, but you're the only one that's made me actually care... Why you?"

"I... I'm sorry,"

"I'm not. ...You don't feel the same way, and I understand why and it hurts, but it's okay. It's a pain I can endure because I... I love you."

[eliza-writes-stuff]

UNREQUITED LOVE

• “That’s why I didn’t want to talk about it! I know you don’t feel the same way, and I understand. But I don’t want to lose you as a friend, and I certainly didn’t want you looking at me like you are now.”

• “Can you just tell me nothing is ever going to come out of this? So I can stop hoping, and actually try to move on? Please? If you truly value my feelings and our friendship, you’ll stop keeping me guessing.”

• “I’m sorry… You know I care so much about you. And- I wish I could look into your eyes and say that I love you with the same intensity that you do. But I don’t, and I know you’d rather have me tell you the truth.”

• “I’ll get over you one day, and I’ll feel better about all of this. I know I will. But right now? It hurts. It hurts so bad I can’t even look at you.”

• “Be honest, for once in your life, and stop trying to spare my feelings! Stop being nice to me out of pity! I can’t stand being looked at like a wounded animal. Please, please, if you have an ounce of respect for me, tell me clearly you don’t feel the same so I can get over it and go on with my life.”

• “So, you like me. You actually like me.”

“Yeah. Ironic, isn’t it? The first time I fall in love is with the one person who doesn’t like me back.”

• “Please tell me this won’t change anything between us.”

“I’m afraid it already has. Everything’s different.”

“Would you rather I kept you in the dark and slowly distanced myself from you without explanation?”

“I don’t know. I really don’t know anymore.”

[eliza-writes-stuff]

hii ^^ this might be a weird request but I was wondering if you had any prompts for unrequited love?

Hi :)

Not a weird request at all! Here are some dialogue prompts for you.

Unrequited Love Prompts

“Even if you don’t feel the same… I just wanted to tell you.”

“I thought being friends with you was enough.”

“I will get over you. Eventually.”

“They can never find out. Even if it kills me inside.”

“I thought it was just a silly crush, but it turned into more. I’m sorry, I know you don’t feel the same about me.”

“We can’t be friends. I can not just be your friend.”

“I keep telling my heart not to want you, but it’s not that easy.”

“I tried to get over you, but I just couldn’t.”

“You were not supposed to find out about it.”

“I don’t want this to ruin our friendship, but I just had to tell you.”

I hope your story has a happy end, I’m a sucker for that!

List of “(un)requited love” prompts 

Requested by: @girlwonder-writes Request: “I would like 24 prompts about unrequited love please!” 

“You’re the best thing that will never happen to me.”

“I love you. I know it’s one-sided. And that’s okay. I just needed you to know.”

“I swore to everything I love that I would never catch feelings for someone like you, but here we are. And what’s worse is you don’t feel the same, and I’m the one who’s going to embarrass themselves when all is said and done.”

“I don’t ask for you to love me back. I only ask you to understand it will take time for me to stop feeling this way for you.” 

“I never asked to fall for someone whom I know doesn’t feel the same way.”

“There’s a twisted beauty in being in love with someone who doesn’t feel the same.” 

“What’s worse is, this is the first time I’ve genuinely felt this way about someone.”

“Do my feelings disgust you that much that you can’t even look me in the eyes now?” 

“I’ve always known that you don’t feel that way towards me. I just… Didn’t expect you to confirm it in a way that would both embarrass and hurt me.”

“Even love itself bested me.” 

“Your mind’s not occupied by anyone else, so why can’t you let it be occupied by me instead? Like you occupy mine.”

“I mean, it would be nice if I was given even one chance to prove myself to you.”

“I respect that you don’t like me back, so I hope you can at least respect my feelings for you.”

“Did you really just ask me if I know how it feels to not have someone love you back like that? Me, the biggest lovesick loser of them all?”

“I’m tired. I want to let go.” 

“I don’t want to feel like this way towards you anymore.”

“I’m not used to this lack of reciprocation.”

“Not to be a whiney bitch, but why can’t I be the one?” 

“I don’t mind loving them from afar if it means I get to keep them in my life.” 

“If I let go of you now… Then I’m letting go of you forever. And I don’t know… I don’t know if I can do that just yet.”

“We could be something more but there’s just one thing missing.” “Which is…?” “You also holding the same feelings for me, as I hold for you.” 

“I fell for you, fully knowing the risks… Yet I was still unprepared for the crash.” 

“This is why I never wanted to tell you how I felt! I knew it would ruin everything between us, and that’s exactly what’s happening right now.”

“You warned me not to fall for you. And it’s my fault I didn’t listen.”

happy pride my fellow aces

[eliza-writes-stuff]

someone who's way too chill about having a yandere that likes them

to the point where it seems more like a comedy than a terror trope

---

oh, you've stalked all my social media accounts, learned my routine and hobbies, and researched all my likes and dislikes? nice, we can skip the small talk then

you want to move in with me? sure, rent is expensive these days, we can split the cost

you stole my dirty clothes and used them for nefarious things? they were getting old anyway. just replace them with newly bought ones and we're cool

you don't want me hanging around those people anymore? you think they'll steal me away? jokes on you, no one wants me. you have zero competition

you've been collecting fallen strands of my hair for your own keeping? why not collect them from my room? i tend to shed a lot and i don't have time to sweep so it would be a huge help

your room is plastered with pictures of me? huh, I've never been one to take pictures of myself. i guess it's nice to have another person taking care of that. i needed a new profile pic for my linkedin anyway. you're really good at photography.

you made dinner for me drugged with sleeping pills? thanks, I've been having trouble sleeping recently. the food was delicious by the way

you want to share a bed with me? well i guess it's been pretty cold since the landlord cut heat. come here

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

“Oh,” They giggled, cheeks pink.

“Oh!” They gasped, hands to their mouth in horror.

“Oh,” they whined, gripping their hair in frustration.

“Oh,” they breathed, head back and lashes fluttering.

“Oh,” they mumbled, shifting awkwardly.

“Oh,” they deadpanned, arms crossed.

“Oh?” they asked, brow arched and smile bitter.

“Oh,” they chided with a smirk.

“Oh?” they asked, head tilted curiously.

“Oh!” they hissed, scrambling away.

“Oh,” they mumbled, rubbing their neck.

“Oh,” they uttered, eyes wide in awe.

“Oh,” they muttered with an ill-impressed frown.

“Oh!” They cried, throwing their arms around them.

“Oh,” they goaded, smiling mischievously.

“Oh,” they taunted, skipping backwards.

“Oh,” they snarked, hands on their hips.

“Oh,” they breathed, putting it all together.

“Oh,” they said softly, hugging themselves.

“Oh,” they whispered, holding back tears.

“Oh!” they gasped, ducking out of the way.

“Oh,” they uttered, and smacked their forehead.

“Oh,” they laughed, brows wiggling.

“Oh,” they tittered, batting their lashes.

“Oh,” they hissed, gritting their teeth.

"Oh."

Small fantasy worldbuilding elements you might want to think about:

A currency that isn’t gold-standard/having gold be as valuable as tin

A currency that runs entirely on a perishable resource, like cocoa beans

A clock that isn’t 24-hours

More or less than four seasons/seasons other than the ones we know

Fantastical weather patterns like irregular cloud formations, iridescent rain

Multiple moons/no moon

Planetary rings

A northern lights effect, but near the equator

Roads that aren’t brown or grey/black, like San Juan’s blue bricks

Jewelry beyond precious gems and metals

Marriage signifiers other than wedding bands

The husband taking the wife's name / newlyweds inventing a new surname upon marriage

No concept of virginity or bastardry

More than 2 genders/no concept of gender

Monotheism, but not creationism

Gods that don’t look like people

Domesticated pets that aren’t re-skinned dogs and cats

Some normalized supernatural element that has nothing to do with the plot

Magical communication that isn’t Fantasy Zoom

“Books” that aren’t bound or scrolls

A nonverbal means of communicating, like sign language

A race of people who are obligate carnivores/ vegetarians/ vegans/ pescatarians (not religious, biological imperative)

I’ve done about half of these myself in one WIP or another and a little detail here or there goes a long way in reminding the audience that this isn’t Kansas anymore.
