I think you can tell who's my favourite character from the amount of effort I put into this lol

PLEASEEE I LOVE HER RED GIVE HER MORE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT ALREADYYYYY

I personally love this edit cause I mean...yeah

But I hate how much shit I had to do for the start

Those four circles are the stuff that indicates when the next picture moves or whatever and the black diamond thingys are key frames and I didn't use any presets either cause you gotta download presets like from Google or something

I hate Alight Motion and how complicated shit is

[taemcains]

sooo the rumors about abel being a li is true then?

idk for sure but i wouldn't blink if it was. i know we've seen this film not once but twice before and i will not like the ending

[atomicradiogirl]

i have completed the foreman rewatch™️ here are my episode ratings and the list if anyone wants to do this as well this was so fun and angsty 100% recommend

i love the 1995 pride and prejudice bbc adaptation but its also hard for me to get through at times cuz its kinda dystopian?

like the 2005 movie is dressed up in romantic cinematography and a beautiful soundtrack, so i kinda just turn off my brain and simp for kiera knightley, but as the 1995 is framed with more realism with less aesthetic trappings it visually and viscerally reminds me that the patriarchal realities the bennet girls and probably jane austen were constantly presented with were not fiction

like holy shit imagine never being able to wear pants, have hobbies youd like, become a scholar, or like, own physical shit, and your entire actual future depended on being able to sell their bodies in a most likely contractual marriage to incubate babies

and if you didnt get that your options to survive were pretty far and between and you were most likely fucked

it kinda kills the romanticism tbh

im sitting here watching jane lizzie and the other girls' entire lives revolve around men and convincing one to love them having no other way to occupy their time because everything they did then revolved around pleasing and become auxiliary to men in an existential sense

like yes mr darcy is the platonic ideal of a man and lizzie is legitimately so funny and smart without being a pickme like ms bingley and p and p is overall so meaningful in so many cultural aspects but holy SHIT its jarring to realize that there it could have gone a lot differently if not for the saving grace of the power of love

the beginning of panacea and most of the rest of it is so rough to listen to but good god there's lore in there

[arosebyan0thername]

You are always allowed to ask me questions about the book I'm writing btw. I might not answer promptly but I will answer and I will not stop talking about it maybe ever

Moringmark: haha Evil Luz au

Also Moringmark: ok but what if Evil Luz was actually just lonely and scared and needed friends. and was surrounded by Evil ToH Characters who supported her and loved her and made her feel like she belonged. haha

Emotional Walls Your Character Has Built (And What Might Finally Break Them)

(How your character defends their soft core and what could shatter it) Because protection becomes prison real fast.

✶ Sarcasm as armor. (Break it with someone who laughs gently, not mockingly.) ✶ Hyper-independence. (Break it with someone who shows up even when they’re told not to.) ✶ Stoicism. (Break it with a safe space to fall apart.) ✶ Flirting to avoid intimacy. (Break it with real vulnerability they didn’t see coming.) ✶ Ghosting everyone. (Break it with someone who won’t take silence as an answer.) ✶ Lying for convenience. (Break it with someone who sees through them but stays anyway.) ✶ Avoiding touch. (Break it with accidental, gentle contact that feels like home.) ✶ Oversharing meaningless things to hide real depth. (Break it with someone who asks the second question.) ✶ Overworking. (Break it with forced stillness and the terrifying sound of their own thoughts.) ✶ Pretending not to care. (Break it with a loss they can’t fake their way through.) ✶ Avoiding mirrors. (Break it with a quiet compliment that hits too hard.) ✶ Turning every conversation into a joke. (Break it with someone who doesn’t laugh.) ✶ Being everyone’s helper. (Break it when someone asks what they need, and waits for an answer.) ✶ Constantly saying “I’m fine.” (Break it when they finally scream that they’re not.) ✶ Running. Always running. (Break it with someone who doesn’t chase, but doesn’t leave, either.) ✶ Intellectualizing every feeling. (Break it with raw, messy emotion they can’t logic away.) ✶ Trying to be the strong one. (Break it when someone sees the weight they’re carrying, and offers to help.) ✶ Hiding behind success. (Break it when they succeed and still feel empty.) ✶ Avoiding conflict at all costs. (Break it when silence causes more pain than the truth.) ✶ Focusing on everyone else’s healing but their own. (Break it when they hit emotional burnout.)

the thing is people often talk about how minecraft steve is the most whitewashed character since jesus christ but never does anyone discuss how they’re perhaps the most misgendered character ever

steve (alongside all the other default skins, for that matter) are referred to with they/them and with gender-neutral language by the developers!

20 Ways to Show Extreme Fear in Your Writing

As I dive into researching signs of fear for my horror WIP, I wanted to share some of the most compelling and visceral reactions I’ve come across. Whether you’re writing a chilling scene or crafting a character’s panic, these 20 signs of fear can help bring tension and realism to your story.

Physical Reactions

Hyperventilating — sucking in air but never feeling like it’s enough

Chest tightens — feels like a weight or hands pressing down

Limbs shaking violently, knees buckling

Complete loss of muscle control — collapsing or unable to stand

Cold sweat soaking through clothes

Heart hammering so hard they feel it in their throat or head

Tunnel vision — the world narrowing down to one terrifying focal point

Ringing in the ears or sudden deafness, like the world drops away

Dizziness / feeling faint / vision blurring

Dry mouth — unable to speak or even scream

Uncontrollable Behavior

Screaming / sobbing / gasping — involuntary vocal outbursts

Panic run — bolting without thinking, tripping over everything

Clawing at their own skin / chest / throat — like trying to escape their body

Begging / pleading out loud even if no one’s there

Repeating words or phrases — “No, no, no” / “This isn’t happening”

Hiding instinctively — diving under tables, closets, or corners

Desperate grabbing — reaching for someone, anything solid

Loss of bladder or bowel control (for extreme terror)

Total mental shutdown — frozen, slack-jawed, staring blankly

Memory blackout — later can’t recall what happened during the worst moment
