Fuuuck yes dude its reading too much into a side character time
me to the immortal character:
nice things will happen but first you have to lose all hope and die 45 times
preach #writing
3 steps to character creation:
Give them a proficiency
Add a contrasting flaw
Beat the f*ck out of them
Bothering the beast
Bothersome beast, comforting friend
the four horsemen of writing.
3am flow, creative chaos, rant and paralysation

writing memes but it’s all frames from hannibal rising
my boyfriend texted me “I can’t sleep, too many monsters.”
and my depressed ass said “tell me about those monsters, love.”
He fucking meANT THE ENERGY DRINK
I'm convinced it was a tragedy that tumblr learned the phrase "bury your gays" at the exact same time it decided that any fictional media darker than Landlord White was pearl-clutchingly problematic. Pouring one out for every creator of earnest LGBT+ media wanting to explore the themes of grief loss and tragedy who then got subsequently hounded by mobs of terminally online users brainrotted on nothing but conflict-free coffee shop AUs.
genuinely so tired of the male love interest in every m/f romance being the most hugelarge tallman to ever growth spurt. I need to see some women swooning over little five foot five rat dudes who need to be tucked in their gf's pocket lest they blow away like a napkin in the wind.
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."

first panel is someone looking at some text that says "i write and create a new character"
next panel the person blinks, and text next to them that says [three immersive daydreams later]
final panel the person opens their eyes surprised to see text that says "they’re now way more important to the story than before and have a complex backstory because i like them too much"](https://64.media.tumblr.com/735008f7aee659c0e81e24e969c8fc9e/a3d658b3aa21f9fc-17/s500x750/bf32788e4eb5f706fa390924b3e5218e3c61d10e.png)
Someone: So what is your novel? Middle grade? YA? Adult? NA?
Me:
I love that Naked Snake's thing was War like Ken's thing is Beach.
“a bit”
WRONG. A LOT.

"i want more media with zero drama, no tension, and zero problematic characters and i am not joking"
Great! Here are my recommendations:
“For the record-“
“Which nobody is keeping.”
“-I’ve killed more people than you.”
“I was a fucking soldier.”
“Yeah, well, I was a fucking murderer so…”
writing tips blogs: “to make your character feel real and relatable you need to take a little from them.”
dystopian writers: “On it boss!” *turns to main character and points at them with a pencil* “No bitches, no family, no limbs, no hope, no healing, no rest, no peace, no clue, no wisdom, no help, no freedom, no redemption, no happy end, no comfort, no safety, no food, no mercy, no dignity, no conclusion, no impact, ONLY WAR.”
Taking a 5-second break from the Bagginshield angst to bring you this meme I created after an all-nighter, enjoy.

respect your fellow fan fiction writers. They are the firefighters to the burning nightmares that our published works are. They fix all the merciless terror that we never bothered to. Putting bandaids on everybody. Embracing the side characters with barely any screen time. And they also write those nasty unhinged sex scenes that we never dared to because we knew our families would be reading our work. Say thank you bitch
