a great piece of writing advice i’ve heard, if not one of the greatest, is that you should always write what your characters would say, not what you want them to say.

this might sound confusing to some people, given that you’re the writer, and you provide your characters with a voice (they wouldn’t exist without you) but writing what your characters would say/do, as opposed to what you want them to say/do, really just comes down to what you want to happen in your story, and what realistically would happen.

as in, you might want one of your characters to be open about their feelings, and to trust the person standing in front of them. but your character has trust issues, and they don’t easily open up to people. forcing this character to do so anyway, will only lead to inauthentic storytelling, and characters that continuously contradicts themselves.

let your characters guide you through their lives, and let the story unfold itself. you won’t always have control over what happens.

characters will face the consequences of their actions, one thing will lead to another, and the story will turn in a direction so far from the one you initially meant for it to go in. let that happen. don’t force a story in there if it doesn’t go with the current narrative.

AO3: *goes down*

Everyone:

I love how I can confidently go on tumblr when Ao3 is down to see a community crumble in 3 minutes x

I'm cackling because I have this painting hanging in my living room and this is all I'm ever going to think about when I look at it from now on

Do you all think that Taylor Swift is aware of the monopoly her lyrics have on Fanfiction titles because I’m not sure she is.

Me @ everyone when I was at my peak of writing Obitine fanfics

(also hi yall)

Nothing in Star Wars will be funnier to me than the fact that Anakin Skywalker, the whiniest more entitled brat in the Jedi order, was happily married by the age of 20 and Obi-Wan Kenobi was still pining after his high school girlfriend at 38.

I'm rewatching Clone Wars (again) and my obitine brainrot is at its peak (AGAIN).

Loosely inspired on this painting.
