#same with characters

[pine-needle-scuffle]

idk what the proper etiquette for "this fic will feature a pairing but not till later" is, cause i don't want to tag it as such if its not gonna happen for a while, y'know? like i can always add it later

I don't usually like to compared ships but personally think Senstar(or whatever Sentinel X Starscream ship is called) is ten times a lot more fun than Starop since similar to Megop, Starop have the major problem of infantilized one character for the other character to protect to the point they have no agency of their own and need the other character to protect them all the time which unintentionally disrespect both characters in the progress.

Senstar on the other hand doesn't seen don't have this problem since it pairing two characters that are somewhat controversial one way or another way. which made it a far more compelling enemy to lovers ship to me especially if it during the whole arresting cons on earth.

Do you know how funny it be if they both have a crush or at least develop a crush on each other and they don't understand or are very frustrated to why they can't take this one guy down for their own cause.

Maybe them being forced to work together to get out of a specific place, not wanting to talk to each other at all the whole time but having no choice since turn out cave slience is very unbearable to both of them, maybe finding out a bit about each other and Starscream maybe flirting with Sentinel a bit since he does find Sentinel a bit attractive and Sentinel is just like: ???? * angry Bisexual confusion* or maybe Sentinel just suck up the flirting at first since he does like the praise then he's like "wait a minute you're a con" and immediately go back to hating every moment of basically being trapped with the enemy and being unable to to killed him for some reason. Him acting like he didn't just enjoy the praise a minute ago and no he definitely not blushing a bit! He is since he also find Starscream attractive too .

I don't know I just find this ship very fun to explore since it not like Optimus where he see the good in everyone even Starscream or whatever...and you can already to see where this is going.. Senstar is a bit more unpredictable.

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.

Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.

My biggest tip for fanfic writers is this: if you get a character's mannerisms and speech pattern down, you can make them do pretty much whatever you want and it'll feel in character.

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

Worry less about whether a character would do something, and more about how they'd sound while doing it.

People liking your personal OCs is still such a crazy feeling, I've been doing this for years and ppl asking about them still fills my entire heart with warmth and idk how to handle it

You enjoy this fictional guy I made up for fun?? Whose only content is random artwork or writing made by me and a handful of other artists at most? They have no show/book/game with a large fandom, it's just one person with an art blog?? I love u

[gumy-shark]

she’s cringe. she’s cooler than you. she’s so so smart. she’s the biggest dumbass you’ll ever meet. she’s got mental illnesses the dsm hasn’t even got a name for yet. she’s fine she’s fine she’s great actually she’s the normalest girl in the world. she’s hurt so many people. she regrets it so much. she wants to hurt people again. she’s the most neurotic loser you’ve ever seen. she’s the most confident composed competent member of the team. she lies until she doesn’t know what’s real. she’s even bisexual. i didn’t say her name but she popped into your head didn’t she

[lgbtlunaverse]

There's a version of the "don't go grocery shopping while hungry" rule specifically for writers where you should never under any circumstances be allowed to touch your draft within 3 hours of reading a really good story. Because sometimes when you read something great your head goes "fuck this is so much better than my stuff I should make that more like THIS instead!" Look at me. That's the devil talking and you should close the document NOW.
