Adding small moments of existence to your writing 

What I’m talking about is proof of life outside your characters in your world. Not in the sense of ‘talking to the cashier at the checkout’, but things like:

Graffiti etched into a desk your character sits in during an exam

Realising that someone has come along and arranged the cans on the shelf so the labels say something stupid

Dirty vans that have ‘wash me’ written in the dried mud

A coin that has been stuck into a piece of gum on a handrail

Little things that show the world still goes on despite whatever is happening to the characters. 

This helps make the world a world, not just a setting. There are other people with other lives doing stupid, funny, dangerous, things that in no way impact the protagonist. You don’t have to dwell on them, they can only be mentioned briefly in passing during the set up of a scene, but it will help create life within the background of the story and give the characters a chance to briefly think about something other than themselves/their situation.

Freddie Mercury: "When I'm not with you, think of me always"

Me:

[freedie-mercoory-blog]

my list, in no particular order, of when a soundtrack has absolutely went off it’s tits to give some of the best moments in any media.

infamous quicksilver scene from x-men apocalypse (”sweet dreams are made of this” playing as he saves everyone from the manor)

the inexplicable use of supermassive black hole by muse  in twilight during the baseball scene

the scene in umbrella academy where five fucks up all those agents in the diner while “istanbul (not constantinople)” plays in the background

what’s up danger playing from into the spiderverse when miles takes the leap of faith

the start of spiderman homecoming when they played the orchestral version of the spiderman theme for the first time

sweet victory

“sitting there useless as two shits hey, turn around bend over i’ll show you where my shoe fits”

the part in rwby where they slingshot ruby at the nevermore while the final part of red like roses pt.2 plays, the guitars blaring as she goes up the cliff and ending with the beheading

“I AM MOANA”

busted from phineas and ferb

the end of guardians of the galaxy volume 2 where they start playing father and son

the part in thor ragnarok when hela asks thor “what were you the god of again?” before thor attacks her and starts going batshit crazy on the undead army while led zeppelin’s immigrant song plays

as this is by no means a comprehensive list, please add any soundtrack moments that were so Fucking Good they made you have a physical reaction.

Imagine Freddie Mercury as a guest star on Queer Eye.

“Oh DARLING camo is not an everyday look!”

“The carpets do not match those drapes my dear.”

“Sweetheart, that beard is anything but tasteful.”

i’ve said it before i’ll say it again there’s a difference between lady gaga singing born this way in 2011 and taylor swift singing “shade never made anyone less gay” (whatever the fuck that means) to profit off of it in 2019

Every other straight man ever singing about a woman: wow baby you’re so sexy I love you because your body is sexy

Hozier, an intellectual and lesbian ally: I am a bird of prey and you are a sharp spike upon which I impale small rodents
