Pathetic Fallacy

Something I Learned Today, and I Wish to Share Here to Help Anyone:

Use Your Setting to Add Emotional Depth: A Guide to Pathetic Fallacy

What is Pathetic Fallacy?

Pathetic fallacy is when features of inanimate nature are given human feelings or characteristics.

It is a powerful tool to express a character's feelings using the surroundings, creating an atmosphere without explicitly stating what the characters feel.

Using Nature to Echo Emotions:

Despair and Loss: The vivid colors of surroundings might turn gray, or a relentless drizzle may cast the landscape in gloom when a character is overwhelmed by despair. These subtle changes deepen the emotional connection for readers.

Anger and Turmoil: Incorporate dynamic elements like a thunderstorm to reflect intense emotions. The violent winds and sharp flashes of lightning mirror the inner turbulence of the character, making the turmoil palpable.

Reflection and Sorrow: For softer emotions, use elements like a gentle breeze through leaves or a thick fog. These details not only set the mood but also draw readers into experiencing the character's quiet sorrow.

Practical Tips for Writers:

Identify the Emotion: Clearly understand the emotion you want to convey.

Choose Suitable Elements: Select environmental details that naturally reflect or enhance this emotion, such as weather conditions, landscape features, or the state of inanimate objects.

Integrate Subtly: Blend these elements into the narrative subtly. They should support and not overwhelm the emotional tone of the scene.

Why Use Pathetic Fallacy?

Pathetic fallacy does more than decorate a scene; it connects readers to your character's emotional journey, making the story immersive and moving.

By aligning the external environment with the character’s internal state, you create a unified narrative that resonates deeply with readers.

Hey Tumblr, Let’s Create a Story Together.

I’m a content writer who loves crafting stories, and I want *YOU* to help me create one! Here’s how it works:

I’ll start with a pitch:

“In a world where memories can be bought and sold, a young thief stumbles upon a memory that could change everything. But there’s one problem it’s not hers.”

Your turn

Choose ONE element to add to the story:

A:The memory belongs to a powerful politician.

B: The memory reveals a hidden magical ability.

C: The memory is a warning about an impending disaster.

Comment or reblog with your choice (A, B, or C).

I’ll tally the votes and write the next part of the story based on the most popular choice.

Bonus: If you have a wild idea for what happens next, drop it in the tags or comments! I might just use it in the story.

Let’s create something amazing together.

Write with meeeee

I know this is a little unorthodox but I think this might be a good ice breaker for storylines. I am willing to send the starter, I just need four things from you

⒈ Pick a sentence starter you like. [ If you don’t see one here check out more here ↬ ✘ ] ⒉ Pick a location your character would go/frequent. [ Or just one you think would be fun ] ⒊ Let me know about any trigger warnings you have so we can keep this awesome for us both. ⒋ Let me know if you’re looking for dark or fluff [ I tend to prefer darker storylines myself but can and will write fluff stuff ]

☽�� 'Didn’t you say you were going to bed three hours ago?’

☽ ’Whoa, don’t pass out on me, okay?’

☽  'Can you walk?’

☽ 'Go! I’ll catch up with you and the others!’

☽  'You were stabbed?!’ ’Lightly stabbed!’

☽  'Looks like you popped a stitch,’

☽ 'Do I look like a scoundrel to you?’

☽ 'Why are you making cupcakes at 3am?’ 'Why aren’t you making cupcakes at 3am?’

☽ 'I had a dream about you last night…’

☽ ‘look, you’re smiling! smiling! that’s clearly a smile!’

☽ ‘sometimes all we have are bad choices, but you still have to choose.’

☽ ‘yes, you have the freedom to choose, but you still have to deal with the consequences of those choices.’

☽ “ hey, don’t mess around. what is this place? “

☽ “ life is a game. so fight for survival… and find out if you’re worth it. “

☽ “ is your arm ok? show it to me. “

☽ “ i know one thing. i’ll never play this game. “

☽ “ this is my weapon. i thought it was so-so, but actually it’s not so bad. “

☽ “ you don’t even have a weapon! not everyone wants to play nice out there. “

☽ “ did i kill them? tell me the truth. you were watching. “

☽ “ i’m taking this game very seriously. i’m playing it for real. “

☽ “ let me go. or i’ll assume you want to kill me and i’ll fight back with all i’ve got. you’ve been warned. “

☽ “ really trusting someone… it’s a hard thing to do. “

☽ “ you’re a fucking psychopath. “

☽ “ you really can’t stop being evil for one second, huh ? “

☽ “ if you touch her/him/them again, I’ll kill you. “

☽ “ you are a thief of joy. “

☽ “ oh, my god ! you stabbed me ! “

☽ “ what’s your problem, huh ?! nobody loved you as a child ? “

☽ “ I’m sorry that you turned out this way. “

Bonfire (old friends)

I miss fresh cut wood inside a fire pit.

I miss high school friends always getting into shit.

I miss gasoline taking off to a butane lighter.

I miss pasture parties standing by the fire.

Bring who you can find

We’re digging back up

Good times left behind

To party out in the pines.

Call the pretty girls who were up to no good.

No need for Mister, Mister my ID is good.

Just back up the Chevy and put ice in the yeti.

So when the sun goes down we’re more than ready.

To let ourselves go

Make memories we can tell

When we grow old

Because this fire

Won’t Last forever.

How much wood could

Her woodchuck chuck?

I don’t know man

It’s been forever.

If Ive done it before I can do it again.

Tomorrow might be hell but lately that’s a trend.

I just want to ride out to where the pine trees end

And light a fire that will last the weekend.

Just like we did those days

We spent swimming in the deep end.

It's time for a write/study session 🥰

[i-amm-writing]

For the ask game: /12. Setting, Characters, Plot/. Your character is Samantha Adams, homemaker with a secret. Now you provide the missing details!

Samantha Adams is just like many of you. She works hard. She lives a crazy, messy life. She has a family she cares for. But, lying beneath the thick layer of optimism, there is a brooding secret, ready to take flight.

I've often wondered what it is, but after digging through the attic in hopes of finding clues, I found the truth. A kind brown box lay hidden in an ancient keepsake chest. I opened it, and inside was the smallest pair of baby shoes I'd ever seen. They were blue, and a white, gentle lace decorated the top. The sad part was, they were still adorned with the tag. They had never been used.

A tear still slides down my cheek when I think about it. I never told her I knew. I don't think I ever will. I guess now it's also my deep secret.

[unhousedfeelings]

I am not a writer. I just write.

When you first decide, hey I'm going to start journaling but not really but really. But, still want to put it out there to the public because why not? Someone else is feeling this way, right? I feel this is more of my reflection of the people I come across or maybe not even come across but see. I guess this is the story of the people I help. or we help. this is them in a more elaborate way but yet private. How to share their stories and not put a face. 

I don’t know why I chose to do this. It's honestly my most hated question. “why do you do this?” I mean why don’t you? See I help our unhoused neighbors. why I do it, is a million dollar fucking question because I don’t have an answer. I fall in love with everyone I meet. I remember their name, their features, their birthdays, their favorite food and so much more. I dream about their journey, I dream and try to see why they are here in my path. Sometimes they don’t need me, but I need them. I have never felt so human and alive around people than when I do when I am around them. I guess this is just a long thank you to them for making me smile every time I see them, for making me feel loved when they feel like no one loves them. For making me feel apart of their family when their families might not want them.  

I don’t know how I will post their story. But I will. Because the world deserves people like them and to know they exist.
