#It's just writing

[womp-womp-waa]

He felt a tug at his sleeve and when he looked down Daniel was greeted with Aiden's puppy dog eyes. It was just Aiden's fifth birthday and so he has been spending most of the day playing with his new toys, so Daniel was surprised to see Aiden out of his room. In one hand he saw Aiden had an empty mug and chuckled softly.

They two of them have gotten into the habit of Aiden come to his dad with a mug and Daniel would make him a cup of hot chocolate. His wife has told him off saying that it's too much sugar for such a small boy, but who could say no when Aiden give you those eyes.

During the process of making the hot chocolate the small boy followed the adult bouncing from foot to foot in excitement. Once Daniel handed the mug he expected Aiden to go back to his room, but Aiden's smaller hand reached for Dan's as he started to try and drag him somewhere.

He allowed himself to be pulled along and was brought to the couch, which Aiden had to jumped to get onto. "Do you want to watch something?" Daniel asked trying to find out what Aiden wanted to do, the boy answered with an excited nod.

Aiden didn't like to speak, he decided to just ask for something or answer in quick, short motion. So they all learnt how Aiden communicated to make him comfortable and happy.

He handed Aiden the remote control so he could chose whatever movie or show he wanted to watch. Sure, maybe Daniel had work to do and files to fill out, but they could wait. Nothing is more important to him than his son.

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

you can pry starting sentences with 'and' or 'but' out of my cold, dead hands

[incandescent-creativity]

Do you ever write a sentence and then realize “Nah, that’s too self aware for you” and backspace a bunch of times.

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Honestly? My main piece of advice for writing well-rounded characters is to make them a little bit lame. No real living person is 100% cool and suave 100% of the time. Everyone's a little awkward sometimes, or gets too excited about something goofy, or has a silly fear, or laughs about stupid things. Being a bit of a loser is an incurable part of the human condition. Utilize that in your writing.

Being kink positive makes it really hard to be a hater of media rip. I used to love watching “the WORST book I’ve read this year” booktube videos but now its like I hear them ask, “Who is this werewolf smut even for?” Omegaverse fans, next question. “Why would you write this?” Because they find it sexy, can we stop focusing on the ewie yucky kink part and focus on the fact that the author used the word knot five times in a single scene? It’s bad werewolf erotica, but it’s not bad because it’s werewolf erotica like come on

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

[on the verge of having a complete breakdown] i need to make some kind of list or perhaps sort things into categories

[frankierotwinkdeath]

Y’all want Taylor Swift to be gay so bad but you won’t even write femslash about her

[braxiatel]

I honestly and truly believe all good AUs should be a little “”””ooc”””” in the sense that good characterisation involves understanding that changes a characters backstory and circumstances will have an effect on how they respond to the world around them

Good characterisation isn’t about creating a perfect 1:1 canon replica it’s about understanding why a character is different in your work and about grounding the changes you do deliberately choose to make in canon character traits

idk man. i just think itd be really cool if sign language classes were mandatory throughout primary school. yeah because it would make communication with deaf kids and autistic/nonverbal kids much easier. and those kids would be accessible to the others so they could make friends and have healthy relationships. yeah. and kids would eat that shit up man. like their own little secret language? they love that.

Is this anything

Had to make a meme to describe me currently
