Yes, writing is my full time job.
Sometimes it's useful to look at your dialogue and ask yourself, "would a real human being talk like that?" But it's also good to ask the follow-up questions of "would the way a real human being talks sound good here" and "does this character actually talk like a real human being or are they weird about it."
when i say i’m from ukraine, people assume i live somewhere else now. when i say i live in ukraine, they assume i’m somehow immune to war, and there’s a logical division between a ukrainian they chat with on discord and a ukrainian on the news. bitches my yaoi is written from the bomb shelter
"oh i really love xyz character-" really? outside the context of shipping?
my ABSOLUTE favorite „no happy end“ tropes
1. „I am rotten to a point of no return… and so are you“
2. „I just started loving you and now you’ve been violently taken from me again“
3. „You are such a broken child and I am trying so desperately to fix you but no amount of love in the world can save you from your own wrath“
4. „You became so obsessed with winning that you overstepped every boundary. Even mine, though you had sworn from the bottom of your heart not to.“
5. „it’s so ingrained in me that my worth can’t be measured in love and gentleness, only in the amount of suffering I can go through without breaking just yet“
6. „My everything has never been enough“
7. „Finally. Death.“

writing memes but it’s all frames from hannibal rising
if you see a woman driving poorly it’s sexist to assume that it’s because she’s a woman. maybe she’s still learning. maybe she’s doing it on purpose because she’s an asshole. maybe she feels entitled to the road. maybe she’s going to die soon and she had vehicular manslaughter on her bucket list. maybe she has a car crash fetish
ugghh uaahhfh aaafdhhf a I write about war. Constantly in the trenches. You’re safe and wanted here.
