“Anybody can look at a pretty girl and see a pretty girl. An artist can look at a pretty girl and see the old woman she will become. A better artist can look at an old woman and see the pretty girl that she used to be. But a great artist-a master-and that is what Auguste Rodin was-can look at an old woman, protray her exactly as she is...and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be...and more than that, he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armadillo, or even you, see that this lovely young girl is still alive, not old and ugly at all, but simply prisoned inside her ruined body. He can make you feel the quiet, endless tragedy that there was never a girl born who ever grew older than eighteen in her heart...no matter what the merciless hours have done to her. Look at her, Ben. Growing old doesn't matter to you and me; we were never meant to be admired-but it does to them.” ― Robert A. Heinlein

a villain flirting with the hero 😏
1) “Oh, you’re so golden,” the villain purred. “All I can think is how good you’d look utterly wrecked. Dirtied up.”The hero swallowed, eyes wide.
2) “Are you going to put me in handcuffs? Tell me how bad I’ve been? Punish me to the full extent of the law?”“Stop it.”“Make me.”
3) “Look at you, all cute and righteous. I love this aesthetic you have going on.”“I’m not righteous, I’m just right!”“Of course, I’m still going to have to stop you. A pity really. The way you handled my men was really quite exquisite, but all good things must end as they say. En garde then, hero?”
4) “You don’t have to do this, please,” the hero said. “Ah, but when would we ever spend time with each otherwise? I think I’d miss you too much.”“You can’t be serious.” “You’ll never know.”
5) “All this saving the world, you’re going to make me jealous.” “Maybe you should help me then so we can back to our regularly scheduled feuding.”“Well, only because you’re pretty.”

Imagine being a human in an alien crew in space and leaving with bright blue or pink hair and the color fades and everybody on board wonders WHY you are losing your colors??? Is it the lack of greens? Are you sad? Angry? They just don’t know??

Quote
We die with the dying: See, they depart, and we go with them. We are born with the dead: See, they return, and bring us with them.

When you die you list all the people you hate and justify why you hated them. If the reason isn’t good enough you must help that person before you can pass on. You were a very spiteful person in life.

When you are writing a story and refer to a character by a physical trait, occupation, age, or any other attribute, rather than that character’s name, you are bringing the reader’s attention to that particular attribute. That can be used quite effectively to help your reader to focus on key details with just a few words. However, if the fact that the character is “the blond,” “the magician,” “the older woman,” etc. is not relevant to that moment in the story, this will only distract the reader from the purpose of the scene.
If your only reason for referring to a character this way is to avoid using his or her name or a pronoun too much, don’t do it. You’re fixing a problem that actually isn’t one. Just go ahead and use the name or pronoun again. It’ll be good.
