The way our brains decide what characters we like and relate to is so facinating to me.
Like by all means of how I see myself i should relate to and like Dick just as much, if not more, than Tim.
He’s got a lot of similar struggles to me, we see ourselves in very similar ways, the similarities are a little crazy.
And yet I don’t.
I haven’t really even delved into Dicks character super deep below like the base of who he is, and I frankly don’t really plan on doing so. He just doesn’t particularly intrest me? Or something like that.
Idk i just think its all super funky cus like “oh look a character whos just like me and shares a lot of the same traits as me, but oh my god HIS BROTHER IS SO MUCH COOLER LIKE!!!”

Yall I really wish there were more butcher ghost aus… like aus where he’s still a butcher or like he retired from the military and decided to go back to being a butcher for that extra cha-ching and because he don’t like lazing around all day ya know what I’m saying??
And then he also meets you for the first time 🤭 or better yet you both worked in the military together at a few points in time and then you both retired not long after the other (ironically) and you ended up moving to the area (also ironically)
And Simon here subconsciously decides that now it’s his duty to always supply you with the freshest cuts and to protect you from the strange men that follow lone bodies at night (regardless if you were once a powerful soldier who is still perfectly capable of defending yourself or not, it’s just his instincts he can’t help it) and to be the one to keep you warm at night because why would you go to someone else when you have him?

Some things about Allan:
He’s the only one who reacts to the narrator
He’s the only doll (besides the Weird House) who isn’t swayed in some way by Ken’s takeover
He also declares himself as “Ken's buddy" (making canon his official box description) which makes his inability to be swayed more interesting
He has bendable legs (probably the only reason he tries to jump the fence instead of going around like everyone else)
He easily decked a half-dozen construction Kens and could probably singlehandedly win the Ken fight
He seems to know more about the real world than most Barbies
He knows what NSYNC is 
He knows about other Allan copies living in the real world (I’m trying to figure out if he made this up to convince the humans he can live in the real world, but even if he did, how does he know what NSYNC is???)
There are no other Allan models

One of the many weird things about depression is that it retcons your life. Not only are you lying in bed feeling like a piece of shit and that everything is awful, but you start projecting those feelings back along your own time stream - you start low-key believing you've always felt this way, that nothing good has ever happened, or if it has it happened a long time ago.
On January 1st of last year I decided to start keeping a tally of good days and bad days, because I stopped trusting my brain to report on that accurately. I expected to come and look at the tally when I was depressed and go "oh, I had a good day only a few days ago. this hasn't always been like this."
What I didn't expect was that the process of asking myself whether a day had been good or bad would radically shift my perspective on what a bad day was and what a good day was. On the very first day, when I'd achieved nothing and had felt sad and slow all day, I went to put a notch in the Bad Day column before stopping myself:
wait, i thought. has today actually been bad? not bad enough to write it off. i played rummikub online with my partner. i drank some water. i had a long bath. no, today wasn't a bad day.
And so I put a notch in the Good Day column and went to bed. The next day I did the same thing, and the next day, and the next day. Just the process of going over my day every day meant that I found at least one good thing that happened every day. I had a good meal. I went to the pub and was around people, albeit quietly. I went for a walk. I saw a duck. There were days where truly awful, terrible things happened, but even on those days there was always something - even if the something was a simple as We Were There For Each Other or We Reminisced.
On December 31st I put the final tally down. Not a single day had been so bad that I could justify writing it off as a bad day. The bad day column was completely empty.
I'm still depressed, occasionally deeply, but I think I have more perspective. Depression is a physical feeling, and an emotional feeling, but even without trying *something* comes along every day that makes me glad I'm here despite that feeling.

Vash’s scars exploration, both stampede ver and manga ver.
I found it quite interesting that Stampede Vash have more technological cover up and his “burned” skin seems to reveal his muscular layer, which is actually just bark. On the other hand, Maximum scars is more human, surgical scars, stiches, burn and wound scars. There is something to be said about choosing to make Stampede more Plant/ less human than Maximum…

DP x DC worlds greatest detectives ramble
You ever just get a bit tired of the batfamily being dumb?
Sure I appreciate a good “Danny is weird and the Bats try to figure out his deal and draw wrong conclusions based on incomplete evidence” fic as much as the next guy, and I’m definitely not saying not to write them
But the thing is, they’re all really smart. It’s their whole thing, they’re a family of detectives that dress up in colorful costumes and fight crime, but detectives nonetheless
And I get it’s for humorous effect to have otherwise intelligent people be incredibly dumb about one thing, but it’d just be nice to see them be smart sometimes. Even in a fic where they’re drawing the wrong conclusions, it’d be nice to see them use their detective skills
Like build a case so solid Danny questions whether they’re actually right about him and if he’s just confused
Or just apply it to more conventional situations/crimes
Because frankly it’s funnier if you show they’re smart before having them do something really stupid
If you build them up a bit, then it’s funnier when they fall down.
“Where did he go? It’s like he vanished into thin air!?”
“Don’t be silly, see these scuff marks? Someone recently went down this way. The gravel here has been disturbed indicating this manhole cover has been moved recently. Now if we just prop this up…”
“…huh, is that…?”
“Killer Croc and not the twink we were just tracking?”
“Yeah, that”
“Yeah, that’s killer croc… hi Waylon”
*large scaly hand darts out and drags Bat in question down in the sewers while Danny watches invisibly*

something about the first few episodes of the terror having so many numbers. the men, the provisions, the inventory; but also the tension of counting. the scene where goodsir takes a picture of john franklin and his men and he's counting down the seconds. the lashes being counted down during hickey's punishment. and something about how in later episodes, numbers get lost. dates get forgotten. counting just stops. all of it becomes insignificant. like it was a countdown at first but now the time is just running out instead

A piece of advice that I THINK comes from the Blades in the Dark rulebook (but I'm not sure because I've read so many TTRPG rulebooks in the last year or so) but that I think could be applied to a lot of other TTRPGs is that a roll shouldn't make a competent character look incompetent.
Like, I think most players and GMs (especially those of us that come from the D&D paradigm) tend to think of the dice roll as representing how well the character does the thing. This seems intuitive, but it tends to make a character's perceived level of competency at the things they're supposed to be good at weirdly swingy, which might be undesirable unless you're aiming for a slapstick tone.
Like, your stats/skills/modifyiers/whatever the hell the game you're playing has/ already represent how good/bad your character is at doing certain stuff. So the die roll, being a luck-based number unrelated to these skills, probably shouldn't ALSO represent how well your character does the thing, but instead represent outside factors that influence the outcome of your action, such as something distravting your hero, the enemy jumping away to avoid the swing, or the lock you're trying to pick having a bit of rust that's giving you trouble.
In practical terms, what I'm saying is that if your thief with a decent sneak skill is trying to stealthily follow a guard, but you get a disastrous dice roll that causes you to be discovered, that dice roll probably shouldn't represent your thief suddenly stumbling over and making a lot of noise, but the guard suddenly remembering he left something in his quarters and turning around at the worst possible moment. Mechanically both get you the same result, but one of them doesn't have the unintended of effect of making it seem like your thief suddenly forgot how to sneak.

CAIRO SWEET craves someone who gives her validation. her parents are permanently absent lawyers with a talent in a+ neglectful parenting, causing her to focus on academics and academics only, subconsciously doing it in hopes that academic achievements will get her parents’ attention and this hardwired focus makes her detached from her peers. cairo needs someone that doesn’t just keep up with her but continually praises her, giving her the validation she desperately needs.
TARA CARPENTER craves someone loyal. after ghostface, it’s not and never will be the same for her; constant looking over her shoulder, never being able to let her guard down, and always having a weapon nearby in fear of another masked killer jumping out at her or her family & friends. change is the scariest part of her life because change is what caused her to lose almost all that she had—her (girl)friend, her sister, her parents... tara needs someone who’s going to stay through thick and thin, 24/7/365, always holding onto her as a silent promise that they won’t leave like others did.
WEDNESDAY ADDAMS craves someone who understands her. despite being a writer, she’s never been good or comfortable with words expressing her emotions. she needs someone who understands her quirks and morbid expressions, understands the softness in her eyes as silent affection, links pinkies at exactly the right moment while waiting for wednesday to grow comfortable to initiate it on her own.

i want him to come home from a hard day of working
maybe he’s feeling a little vulnerable but all he can do it come do bed, wrap me in his arms along with his cock in my walls
for comfort
imagine him all soft and whimpering as he ruts into you slowly
telling you how lucky he feels to be able to come home to u everyday
how you’re so perfect for him
you always make you feel better
your pussy is his favorite place to be

my advice for writing dialogue:
be brave
if you can’t say it in one breath out loud, you should probably add some punctuation
for casual dialogue: can you imagine two people saying this at a local coffee shop?
people talk over each other and cut each other off in real life all the time. your characters should too
modern, conversational dialogue isn’t one person lobbing one fully formed, multiple-sentence thought at another person, and then waiting to receive one back
dialogue is filled with placeholder sounds — ehs, ums, uhs — and these differ by region, language, and culture
people ask for clarification and sometimes things are just, by nature, unclear. sometimes you have to let the characters figure out the disconnect even if you, the author, know what it is already
find clips and videos online of the people/region and listen to them! how do they talk? is it fast, or drawling? how can you convey this to a reader who may have never heard them?

Sun is truly just a diva, deeply bitter about being taken away from his limelight on stage to attend a daycare instead.
And Moon's just a giggly git creeping on you everywhere cuz he just wanna be included in the fun but too socially awkward to know how to approach you like a normal person.

It’s so telling that when Mike and El reunite in the airport, someone literally walks past the frame obscuring the view right when they kiss? And then the entire time they're talking, people are blocking them from view. In every single shot someone new walks in front of the camera—a whole seven extras in quick succession and wow I didn’t realise how distracting it actually is:
It's 100% deliberate to create a lack of intimacy in their interaction, it was like white noise to my eyes before but now I can't unsee it. They really said this is NOT supposed to feel romantic.
​It only stops when we are shown Will in the background behind El (in Mike’s eyeline) and as he runs up to Mike. Almost as if to imply Mike was hyper-aware of Will’s presence:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then extras cross the frame again when they “hug”—
Tumblr media
—cutting through the tense nervousness radiating off of Mike, and shifting the moment to a very awkward/detached tone.

Living weapon, alone, no orders, unsure what to do.
What does it do? Nothing at all for a few days? Wander in straight line? Care for basic functions only? Try to find its owner?
First time that it can remember being without orders. Supposedly free, unsure of what to do except follow the last instruction from its not-owner. "RUN"
