tips on writing slaps

if you're writing a slap into your story and you've never actually experienced what it's like to be slapped, here's a lil guide!

if it's hard enough, you don't feel anything at all for a shockingly long time. it took thirty seconds for me to regain feeling in my face once

the sensation goes from ice cold, to burning hot. it doesn't sting at the precise moment of impact, only after

your eyes will water, no matter how hard you try to stop it

a hard slap makes your ears ring. the sound bursts and then slowly fades, like a singing bowl but sharp and piercing

there's much more power in a backhand slap, and a lot more bones. it feels more like a punch than a slap

i hope that helps!! stay safe out there baes

wanna listen to a band whose every song sounds like a shakespeare monologue but in song form? the amazing devil is the band for you! jaskier's actor is one of the two singers! you'll cry! you'll feel as powerful as achilles! it's an emotional roller coaster!

love those metaphors that write themselves. i use a squishmallow as a second pillow when i need more support, and it's crushed flat by my dependency on it. why bother trying to write something original when my squishmallow is right here underneath me

honestly i'm about to write a college essay on the writers guild strike and how it is fundamentally a demonstration of the battle between capitalism and basic rights that's been simmering for ages and while the fight has gotten some attention (like talk of corporations like amazon, walmart, disney) this is the first thing where truly everyone feels the affects because the entertainment industry is something that undeniably shapes the day to day lives of people. the strike breaks the struggle down to its core and strips back all the bullshit about how it doesn't affect people who aren't directly involved. do you think a liberal arts college will like that

i'll be really interested to see if good omens utilizes the fact that god is literally the narrator. they have been presented with the chance to completely break the story, tear it apart at its very bones. wouldn't that be fucked up? the show likes to imply that god does things just because god wants to or is bored- god doesn't really care if the entire human race is wiped out or if job loses everything, god just needs to win the bet with satan. wouldn't it be fucked up if the characters started hearing the narrator? coming to the realization that god is fucking with them really for the heck of it? god controls the entire story, and absolutely has the power to completely unravel it. anyways, it's 3am and i should really go to sleep thank you for coming to my ted talk

YESSSSSSSSS THANK YOU FOR NERDING OUT ABOUT THIS it's always horribly awkward to perform but it's really interesting when you're studying shakespeare or renaissance era plays to get a sense of what those lines actually did for the actors/audience. excellent ted talk i applaud you

the funniest possible thing to happen in shakespeare plays is when he gives stage directions... through the dialogue. oberon just saying "i am invisible." leontes just directly saying that he's turning to the audience and talking to them. it will never not be hilarious

I've just finished Skizz's LimitedLife finale and I am not ok. That has to be one of the most painful endings of this series.

Let me elaborate:

When he called the rest of TIES to Windsor none of them knew what was going on or that Skizz only had 30 minutes left. Both Tango and Impulse thought it was because Skizz wanted to try and get a kill on someone and needed help. They were wrong.

When Skizz asked them to kill him they both immediately refused, trying to persuade him. He didn't give in, and while they were still talking he started taking his armour off and gave them some of his items.

When Etho finally arrived neither Impulse nor Tango had accepted what was gonna happen. And when Etho was asked to kill Skizz he hesitated for a moment. It was only after Skizz gave Etho his axe saying that it was his "last order" and that "my time isn't going to anybody else" that Etho did it.

And even then Impulse tryed to persuade his bestfriend from going through with it until Etho accepted. Tango couldn't talk and just made pained noises. Etho told him that he "wish you played this game better". And Skizz final words, other than the "I love you guys", were "I do too".

He too wished he had played the game better. He too wished that he didn't have to do that. But he preferred giving his last few minutes to one of his allies rather than going out because of anybody else.

after the first session i saw a bunch of people theorizing about the red hysteria or the red desperation that would inevitably set in as peoples timers started to drop dangerously low and you can really see the first taste of it in joels episode. it was like a sudden switch went off in his mind and any ability to think rationally went out the window and was replaced by some kind of primal survival instinct. seeing the panic abruptly kick in as he realized he needed to get a kill FAST or his series could be over soon. not even considering who the target is, red or yellow doesnt matter when you're that desperate. taking bold risks that could backfire spectacularly just because you dont have the time or clarity of mind to strategize or think about the consequences. its like a force of possession 100 times more debilitating and all-consuming than the boogeyman and its driving me insane . like watching reds is always stressful knowing they could die at any moment but this is a WHOLE NEW LEVEL

I got super inspired and kinda went a bit wild with this. It ended up being much more work than my original doodle but I am actually pretty pleased with the result!

Idk why its so crunchy. I swear it didn't save like that but idk how to fix it so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
