Writers on their way to kill off your favourite character
I love you mean girls in literature, I love you manipulative and scheming elder sisters of the protagonists, I love you ambitious women washing damned spots from bloody hands, I love you “she was always the perfect/favorite child,” I love you Emma Woodhouses and Caroline Bingleys, I love you mean girls with complex and morally questionable but ultimately understandable motivations, I love you mean girls they called evil and never bothered to explain at all, I love you mean girls who are not even girls, I love you queen bees, bullies, cheerleading captains, and heads of the school play in teen flicks, I love you weapons of war and calculating politicians and manipulators of royal court, I love you sirens and succubi and vampiresses, I love you changed by the end, I love you still the same bitch as before-

when a character i love and care for has to face the consequences of their previous actions
Personally, I write stupid silly scenarios that are useless and unrealistic but they make me giggle
I don’t write from nothing. Every character, every word is the echo of reality. Every feature is plucked from someone I knew, every line from a conversation I had, every heartbreak is my own.
I just try to write better endings.
bastille is correct. how AM i gonna be an optimist about this?

the four horsemen of writing.
3am flow, creative chaos, rant and paralysation
get yourself a main character whos two primary emotions are "little cunt" and "catatonic with grief"
One of my favorite tropes is „mean/popular girls who turn out to be lesbians“ The drama. The aesthetic.
100 plus points if they are stereotypically (pink) feminine and when they are together they complain about boys until they finally realise they aren’t into boys and that the person that knows and understands them best has been right in front of them the entire fucking time. Please y’all i need MORE of this trope it’s so underrepresented
