I felt bad about Mike Flanagan not being included so I decided to make another poll.
Inspired by @ktlsyrtis 's poll.
Please, please, please reblog this so it reaches the widest audience possible.
Also sorry if I'm not the only one who's done another poll.

How to avoid character inconsistency in your writing
Set your character boundaries:
What's the background?
What's your character's backstory?
What are their traits, and how do they portray them?
Know what keeps your characters motivated. (Are they reaching their goal?)
You can avoid quick shifting of scenes. Let your readers absorb the setting of the scene.
Ensure that their actions and decisions align with their development and growth.
Tip 1: Start your chapter with a scene or dialogue that comes back at the end, which helps maintain consistency.
Tip 2: Throughout the chapter avoid the fast pacing of the story, rather let the characters express themselves so that it's clear for the readers.
Consider how your characters react to situations that are hard to convey. (Do they feel nervous? Scared? Fearless?)
Dialogue writing is crucial in explaining your character's personality while writing a story.
This process requires lots of re-reading and writing, fixing character holes and rewriting character arcs.

hey everyone, i know this is a silly gimmick blog but i feel i need to clarify that zionists aren't welcome here. people who think the violence in gaza right now is in any way justified or proportional to october 7 and support the genocide being committed against palestinians need to get off my blog. leave.
people who use this situation as an excuse to be antisemitic also need to get the fuck out of here. it is never okay to be antisemitic and trying to use your support for palestine as a shield is pathetic. i dont want you around and i do not like you. when i find you i will block you. save us both some time and just unfollow me right now.
i just wanted to make my position clear. free palestine. 馃嚨馃嚫

my father and my brother who do not understand the difference between abuse and love are terrifying. they want me to think differently. they tell me grow up and you will understand. they are the same. it is so easy to see from the outside that I will know it from the inside-out. I will see it from miles away and I will run. If it happens to me I will know and I will run. I have been around it for far too long to allow myself to confuse love and abuse for the same creature. They are not the same. You cannot allow yourself to delude yourself so thoroughly to confuse abuse and love for the same creature; abuse may wear love's face, but love could never fit in such a meek body such as abuse.
to be loved is to face hardship, yes. but to be loved is to not receive lashings and ridicule and hatred and vitriol, and screaming and assault and petrol and venom.
you do not work against your partner, you work with them.
how do i teach these men the difference? i fear that they are too far gone for me to interject into their relationships and take their hands and show them what love really means i fear they do not know or are incapable of it and that makes me sad. i suppose it'd make sense, then, why they never loved me. because to them abuse wears love's face. and they are the same creature. but it was never felt, no warm, loving embrace. simply the coldness of hurt. they were incapable of loving their partners so why would they love this child? this thing they are related to their blood flesh and bone mind and body it aches. for them and for what they took and what they never gave.

this mind has thought of more universes than your mind could wish to comprehend these hands have made worlds and created over and over and over. do you know the capability within my grasp? within my person each fiber whirrs mechanically lurching forth yet so human so human flesh knit around this tight, pumping engine fire lit within eyes that see the world full of colour full of promise full of kindness. when you made me with your own hands, did you mean to let me share this with you? this ability, to create? it kind of hurts. did you intend it that way? is it supposed to hurt? like a blade sunk into this tender flesh and out pours bubbling oil, black and boiling fresh death still warm. what am I? what did you make me for.

I've been trying to re-lay out the sequence of events for my book I started writing in 10th grade and i'm here like this is the most non-linear story fucking ever what the hell was I thinking. 15 year old me, what were you thinking, you little weirdo. having to take the pieces and shuffle them around is excruciating. this is going to be a whole new world and story by the time i'm done with it. soon we will get to the fun part, though, and all the work will be worth it.
