Writing is so much fun! You can be like "I should process this" and just go nuh-huh, see, I'm going to make up a guy and have them process it for me. Not me! It's the guy I made!

"This person has a secret onlyfans!" "This artist does NSFW commissions!" "This author writes porn on the side!" I cannot begin to tell you how swag and awesome that is.

I am about to go to sleep but I am watching something that made me wonder-- when you read that a character "hisses" what do you think?

Hold Fast 2 – Hold Faster is up on Patre♡n! Wherein we glimpse the ongoing romance of Morgan Turner and Sir Evelyn Winthrop.
~
Morgan raised an eyebrow. “Did you enjoy traveling as a merchant seaman?”
“It had its moments,” Evelyn admitted.
“Do tell.” The trace of a smile graced the corners of Morgan’s lips, which was as good as a grin on another man’s face. “The boiler room, for one.”
This statement did nothing to dispel Morgan’s bemusement. “I never realized you had such a passion for coal.”
“I could take or leave the coal. My fellow stokers, on the other hand…” Evelyn trailed off just long enough for Morgan to catch his drift before he dove ahead. “Six brawny men to each furnace, all stripped to the waist.”
Morgan’s bemusement vanished.
Evelyn continued. “Sweat gleaming in the firelight as we bend and twist to shovel coal. Thrusting our lances into the flames and withdrawing to feed the draught.”
A hard swallow traveled down Morgan’s slender throat.

actors love to make their characters subtextually gay not just because they’re a little gay themselves though that often is the case but rather because having a secret is like energy drink to acting, and being gay is the easiest most obvious secret. whenever you’re unsure of your character’s motivations consider: maybe they are gay? see where that takes you. should be pretty far

no but really, like 
i know that some folks love telling creative people that “you should be doing it for fun because you love it not for the compliments” but creative people thrive on feedback whether it’s critical or just complimentary
so when i write fanfiction and don’t get any actual feedback i feel like i spent all that time and energy doing it for nothing because i’m not getting feedback from the people i wrote it for 
doing something you’re proud of and then presenting it to the sound of utter silence is like the worst feeling on earth

concept: both injured, both in need of patching up, both arguing furiously that the other person definitely has to go first while they can definitely wait, it’s not that bad

Sick of characters who are simply Cool or Badass or Horrifying or Edgy all the time. They need to be pathetic too. It elevates them. It’s like adding a bit of salt to a sweet dish to bring out the flavour. Tbh, I think a character can only be truly horrifying, badass, etc. WITH a lil bit of pathetic in 'em.
