I’m currently trying to learn how to make aesthetic boards for a blog I’m a part of. This was the result.

How to write kids, if you don't remember being one or haven't lived with any
1. Kids never feel as small as you see them. A three year old thinks a one year old is a baby and a six year old is grown up. A six year old thinks a three year old is a baby and a twelve year old is an adult. Age is about perspective. One year is a huge age difference to a little kid.
2. Little kids might not be conscious of their physical limitations, but they can still be frustrated by them. A seven year old might see an adult do something relatively simple, like draw a straight line or perfectly crack an egg, and try to do the same thing, only to be frustrated when it doesn't work.
Imagine suddenly having an injury that makes a skill you use every day become difficult- you feel you should be able to do the thing, and you understand the thing should be easy for you, but it isn't. It can be immensely frustrating to have a brain that grasps a concept that language or fine motor skills haven't caught up to.
3. You know when you forget a word, and have to make something up on the fly to describe the word? That's pretty much exactly what learning your first language is like.
You know what you intend, but you don't have a way to express it, and it can move you to tears with frustration when everyone around you is suggesting the wrong thing, or seems completely certain they understand what you mean, and they don't.
You don't have a word for "Later"? You might try saying "next time", or, "after", or, "before tomorrow".
This might result in saying, "Are we going to the park next time?", "Are we going to the park before tomorrow?", or, "Are we going to the park after?", all of which can result in different answers.
4. Kids feel like adults are a different species. They don't get why we do certain things, and they don't understand why we don't want to run around with them all the time.
If sitting still is boring, coffee tastes bitter, and long conversations only happen with weird-smelling strangers who talk to them like they're stupid, then they truly will not understand why anyone would *want* to be left to have coffee with a friend without welcome distractions to make it bearable.
Aren't you bored? You aren't doing anything. How could you possibly be stimulated without any food or toys or music or anything? Why don't you just leave? Do you *have* to be there, the way you had to go to work? Adults are weird.
5. Children have complex social relationships that are just as varied as yours.
A room full of third graders might look like indiscriminate chaos to an adult, but pick a well connected kid, and they'll tell you that Megan is the fashion icon who can do hair really well, Thomas is the athlete, Gray gets mean when he has to share so nobody wants to play with him, Paisley can't read and the boys make fun of her for it so don't make her work in a group with Anthony, Dillon put a bug in their food once so they'll never trust him again, and Matthew's parents let him watch family guy so he says bad words and makes grown-up jokes that make other kids uncomfortable.
You don't see this stuff because you aren't inside the society. They are, and they do.
6. Time. Moves. So. Slow. Five minutes really does feel like half an hour. Sit still for five minutes? That's like you sitting in a waiting room at the DMV for an hour. Wouldn't you get annoyed and impatient? They haven't learned to hide their irritation yet. That's really the only difference.
7. "Reading in your head" requires understanding that you have a Voice, which people can hear, and Thoughts, which are audible only to yourself. This can be a difficult concept to grasp. If a kid is reading out loud, and you tell them to read quietly, there's a good chance they're going to whisper or mouth the words instead of going totally silent the way you might. Splitting the self into multiples like "Internal monologue VS public perception" or "What I look like VS how I think I look" is alien and bizarre. If a kid thinks they look like a Dragon and you laugh at them? Ouch. They might be mad for a while.
8. Repetitive chores make no sense when your awareness of time doesn't extend beyond a week or so. Why should I wash my blankets? They don't look dirty and I don't smell anything bad. Blankets don't get dirty unless you put dirt on them. If you put a blanket in a washer, you can't use that blanket AT ALL the ENTIRE TIME it's being cleaned. That might be an hour, but it will *feel* like a week. And you have to do that every two weeks?? That's overkill. Why even bother?
9. Kids have opinions about adults. They will have a sense about whether an adult is "real-kind" or "fake-kind". An adult who listens respectfully to what they have to say, asks thoughtful questions, and takes their concerns seriously? That's a good adult. An adult that oversimplifies their struggles, ignores their complex social rules, and gives bullshit advice like "just walk away from bullies" and "turn your chores into a fun game"? That's not a trustworthy adult. That's an Adult™. An Adult™ doesn't consider them to be a real human being with thoughts and emotions. An Adult™ sees them as an inferior, amusing pet. And they will actively sabotage An Adult™ like that.
10. Emotions are physical at a young age. Joy might make their body buzz until they can't help but wiggle or jump around. Sadness might be a huge physical pain in their throat and heart. Everything they experience is still relatively.New to.them, so there is very little frame of reference to decide if this is a "big hurt that will last forever and ever and never go away", or a "small hurt, that can be fixed easily and won't matter in five minutes". If someone lies to them about getting a cookie, that very well might be all the betrayal of your best friend sleeping with your husband.
Fortunately, a child probably won't be able to burn all your clothes in the yard without your notice.

Tips for Writing a Difficult Scene
Every writer inevitably gets to that scene that just doesn't want to work. It doesn't flow, no matter how hard you try. Well, here are some things to try to get out of that rut:
1. Change the weather
I know this doesn't sound like it'll make much of a difference, but trust me when I say it does.
Every single time I've tried this, it worked and the scene flowed magically.
2. Change the POV
If your book has multiple POV characters, it might be a good idea to switch the scene to another character's perspective.
9/10 times, this will make the scene flow better.
3. Start the scene earlier/later
Oftentimes, a scene just doesn't work because you're not starting in the right place.
Perhaps you're starting too late and giving too little context. Perhaps some description or character introspection is needed before you dive in.
Alternatively, you may be taking too long to get to the actual point of the scene. Would it help to dive straight into the action without much ado?
4. Write only the dialogue
If your scene involves dialogue, it can help immensely to write only the spoken words the first time round.
It's even better if you highlight different characters' speech in different colors.
Then, later on, you can go back and fill in the dialogue tags, description etc.
5. Fuck it and use a placeholder
If nothing works, it's time to move on.
Rather than perpetually getting stuck on that one scene, use a placeholder. Something like: [they escape somehow] or [big emotional talk].
And then continue with the draft.
This'll help you keep momentum and, maybe, make the scene easier to write later on once you have a better grasp on the plot and characters.
Trust me, I do this all the time.
It can take some practice to get past your Type A brain screaming at you, but it's worth it.
So, those are some things to try when a scene is being difficult. I hope that these tips help :)

Ramble. I’d like to know 👀. -🌹✨
https://goryroyalty.tumblr.com/post/668533942692069376/idk-if-i-was-completely-accurate-but-i-did-it
Oh dear... Well, here we go!
Tumblr media
(There's the list again for reference, I guess)
So. My thoughts on ships.
I mine as well start at the beginning of my adventure into the Sanders Sides fandom. I have always been a multi-shipper. I couldn't pick just one ship that I liked because they could all be frickin cute in their own ways. The more fan content I consumed, the more I actually started to favor certain ships, though I still liked all of them. Analogical and Logince were the first two I favored above the rest. Then Janus was introduced and I liked Roceit a lot too. I started off on Wattpad and I read a lot of one-shot books. I never actively searched for a certain ship until my brain settled on my favorite characters being Logan and Virgil. So, I found a bunch of Analogical and a few Logince stories. Still, again, I read just about anything if it sounded interesting enough and fan-art and edits are always cool. (And I wrote anything too)
Along the road, Prinxiety and Logicality became kinda eh and Virgil was lowering on my list of favorite characters. It wasn't until Remus was introduced that my thoughts almost completely changed. I discovered Unsympathetic Patton and consumed way too much of that (not really, there's not enough still in my opinion-) and Unsympathetic Virgil and Roman could be really good too. Logan, Remus, and Janus became my absolute favorite characters, the only time I can stand them being unsympathetic is for the sake of gore or some such thing. So marry that favoritism with my love of angst and obviously that leads to at least one if not all three of the others being unsympathetic. And with those three being my favorite and being overwhelmed with the amount of Prinxiety and Logicality content, I grew to really, really dislike the two. I can only read it if it's super toxic or something because angst. Don't worry, I do love Roman too, but sometimes I just really love to hate seeing him be an absolute toxic jerk.
So I suppose why I said I'm not sure I did it accurately... I have my OTPs and I have ships that I still favor but not as much. But the rest I'm pretty neutral towards (except maybe the five on the bottom two tiers though I still scrunch my nose at Prinxiety and Logicality...) Like I might read something (more often than not, it's smut ngl) if it pops up and again, art is always super cool. I might even write them from time to time if I think of something for it. So the two middle tiers are not completely accurate to me I feel like? Any of the ones in the neutral tier I could like if the content is right, and any in the tier above I might just shrug at. (Not that the story or art was bad, it just wasn't my cup of tea then) So those tiers could shift a lot throughout even a single day.
Not gonna lie, I started off only supporting RemRom and started writing stuff because it needs more content and just to spite people. But...It’s really cute, y’all. It’s not my first favorite but definitely deserves that OTP tier in my eyes. I mean, Intruloceit is already pretty perfect for me but add Roman and it’s just *chef’s kiss*
So yeah, there was my rambling… Idk if any of that made sense but hopefully??
(Also, I’m not trying to hate on people who ship Prinxiety and Logicality. I don’t care what you ship. I had a friend who hated my OTP and I hated theirs, but it didn’t change the fact we were friends. Our opinions don’t have to perfectly align to get along and be nice to each other.)

Idk if I was completely accurate but I did it?

I have had the absolute pleasure of doing this neat tier. It was fun Bc it actually almost had all the ships in it (not including c!Thomas Emile REMy or Critic)
Anyway idk why the second image cut off the results. It’s the one that counted toward the community results 🤷🏾‍♀️. But everything in the bottom category is the same in both images(except for 2 ships which I made a new category for)

Saying “this niche, properly tagged, warned, and rated piece of fiction could theoretically hurt someone” is not a good argument. This properly labeled cookie with the allergen information at the bottom that contains gluten could theoretically harm me very badly, but only if I consume it. Tags are like nutrition labels, and warnings are like allergy information. If you know you have an allergy to something, the logic is to stay away from it. It is the same with fiction. I’m not running through stores yelling at people to take all the products with gluten off the shelves just because it could hurt me. Instead I ignore it and go to the gluten free section and find cookies that are right for me. And if running through a grocery store yelling sounds ridiculous, that’s because it is. Stop doing the same with fiction.

yo
but if Roman and Remus did fuck, Roman would be the bitchyest bottom ever but It would be okay, bc if anyone can handle his level of diva-ness and not be too judgy and condescending about it…it is absolutely Remus. See he knows how Roman works, Roman needs to be treated like the slut he is in bed but also treated to a bubble bath and cuddles and a 10,000 dollar bottle of champaign afterward.
