I love it in fiction whenever someone doesn’t live up to their mythology. For example:

A famous healer was nothing but man with a silver tongue that used magic to make the sick believe they were without curing the disease.

The seductress simply accepted people as they were and treated people with a kindness seen once in a lifetime.

Monsters that are tricks of the light.

Villains are people born with power, are thus painted as bad people despite having done no wrong.

Philanthropists who make the money they give to charity off the blood of the innocent.

Help a Family in Need

I am reaching out on behalf of my dear friend, Mohamad S., who is facing one of the most challenging times of his life. Mohamad is 37 years old and left his homeland in 2015 in search of a safer and better future. He’s a kind, hardworking man, and his small family has always been his greatest priority.

Living abroad, Mohamad has recently endured unimaginable loss and financial strain. Amidst the ongoing conflict in his homeland, his mother passed away, leaving behind his sister and her five young children—the last remaining members of his immediate family.

As the situation worsened, Mohamad managed to help his sister and her children escape to safety in Egypt, covering their immediate needs and securing a temporary refuge for them. Since then, he has been fully responsible for providing everything they need to survive during this transition.

In his efforts to support his family and cope with this devastating loss, Mohamad has found himself deeply in debt. To make matters even more difficult, he recently underwent knee surgery, which limits his ability to return to work for the foreseeable future. This has made it even harder for him to manage his financial responsibilities and the pressing need to provide his family with a stable future.

Mohamad is now working to bring his sister and her five children to join him in Belgium, where he hopes they can find stability and opportunity after all they’ve endured. This transition, however, requires significant resources that he is currently unable to meet alone.

For privacy reasons, we are not sharing Mohamad’s full name, as he has chosen to keep his identity discreet. While he initially refused the idea of asking for help, I couldn’t stand by and watch him struggle alone. I insisted on doing this for him because he deserves a chance to overcome these challenges.

Your contribution will help Mohamad repay the debt incurred during this difficult time, cover ongoing living expenses for his family, and assist with the costs involved in bringing them safely to Belgium.

Mohamad has been a good friend of mine for years, and I’ve always admired his resilience and generosity. Any support, no matter the size, will make an incredible difference in helping Mohamad and his family rebuild their lives after these painful experiences.

Thank you for reading his story and considering helping a man who has always done everything he can for his loved ones.

Hey! I hope you're doing well. I’m reaching out because I really need help getting more eyes on my pinned post. It’s for a family in need, and a simple reblog could make a huge difference. Would you mind boosting it? Thank you so much! 💛

Yes ofc!! I’m not in a position to give money rn but I’ll spread the word ❤️

Sooo sorry for being so quiet lately! I got diagnosed with FND after a quite frankly traumatic month but I’m getting help, so I should be back soon!! Also I’m going to get tested for OCD by my psychiatrist soon. And then autism in April. It’s been real…

They lied when they said write what you know. How do you know what it is to ride a dragons back and sail into the unknown? How few people know what it’s like to lose a whole family? How does a virgin know what it is to give birth?

No, do not write what you know: take the situation and saturate into something anyone knows.

Not everyone has been abused but everyone knows what it is to be afraid.

Knowledge is power. Break it down, recontextualize a common emotion, and make the reader think “wait, I’ve been there, but I never thought about it that way”

That’s how you write what you know.

Hero and villain romances are underrated. Like sure, when the hero is the only one who sees the villain for who they really are or whatever is great, but when the villain is the only one who truly understands the hero’s pain? That hits different

My neck hurts so much rn 😭 it never stopped

I suddenly developed this random ass tendency for my head to shake of its own accord (I’m going to see a neurologist about it next week) and idk if it’s a tic or a seizure but with I, fully conscious and aware, sitting on my bed writing, HAD MY HEAD JERK LEFT THE SAME EXACT WAY FOR TWO MINUTES STRAIGHT

I have gone nearly two decades without knowing the SHEER ANGER of this but now I do and I can’t unlive it

I think what makes “she released a breath she didn’t realize she was holding” so ineffective is that is more telling than showing.

I mean, sure, it’s effective as a passive display of anxiety but making the reader feel the air trapped in her chest as she walked—breathe, she needed to breathe, why wouldn’t the air leave—until she gets into a place where she can relax and let the breath out would be more visceral than just passively telling us she was anxious

One of the most romantic tropes of all time is “person a finds person b beat up in an alleyway, saves them, and then they live happily ever after” and that is the hill I will die on
