maybe a weird take but I think clothing also tells a story about a character. Guillermo dressed the hottest he’s ever been during s3 (and the night market scenes in s4) in which he goes full slayer-mode, his style I believe reflects how much confidence he has. You could tell he was feeling himself and yes mama put the slay in vampire slayer!!!!

I havent done a rewatch yet to see if I’m remembering right but I think in s5 we saw NONE of that, he was back to the stifling sweaters, cardigans and vests and there was barely any change in his wardrobe, nothing resembling the lax styling of s3&4 either. Being a vampire did nothing for him after all, huh. As excited as he was about progressing his powers, he didn’t magically become Armand like he thought he would, it didn’t boost his self esteem even a nick higher. On the contrary, he reverted back to s1&2 visually. It didn’t scratch the itch in him he wanted gone.

Something something show dont tell

Thinking about genre as a concept, and how genres aren’t always so clear-cut and easy to categorize.

Specifically: Angst, Horror, and Comedy can have surprisingly thin lines between them.

A storyline, I’ve noticed, that is particularly ripe with potential to go in any of those three directions is “Outsider POV of Danny Fenton.”

Pro Tip: The Way You End a Sentence Matters

Here is a quick and dirty writing tip that will strengthen your writing.

In English, the word at the end of a sentence carries more weight or emphasis than the rest of the sentence. You can use that to your advantage in modifying tone.

Consider:

In the end, what you said didn't matter.

It didn't matter what you said in the end.

In the end, it didn't matter what you said.

Do you pick up the subtle differences in meaning between these three sentences?

The first one feels a little angry, doesn't it? And the third one feels a little softer? There's a gulf of meaning between "what you said didn't matter" (it's not important!) and "it didn't matter what you said" (the end result would've never changed).

Let's try it again:

When her mother died, she couldn't even cry.

She couldn't even cry when her mother died.

That first example seems to kind of side with her, right? Whereas the second example seems to hold a little bit of judgment or accusation? The first phrase kind of seems to suggest that she was so sad she couldn't cry, whereas the second kind of seems to suggest that she's not sad and that's the problem.

The effect is super subtle and very hard to put into words, but you'll feel it when you're reading something. Changing up the order of your sentences to shift the focus can have a huge effect on tone even when the exact same words are used.

In linguistics, this is referred to as "end focus," and it's a nightmare for ESL students because it's so subtle and hard to explain. But a lot goes into it, and it's a tool worth keeping in your pocket if you're a creative writer or someone otherwise trying to create a specific effect with your words :)

I was getting pretty fed up with links and generators with very general and overused weapons and superpowers and what have you for characters so:

Here is a page for premodern weapons, broken down into a ton of subcategories, with the weapon’s region of origin.

Here is a page of medieval weapons.

Here is a page of just about every conceived superpower.

Here is a page for legendary creatures and their regions of origin.

Here are some gemstones.

Here is a bunch of Greek legends, including monsters, gods, nymphs, heroes, and so on.

Here is a website with a ton of (legally attained, don’t worry) information about the black market.

Here is a website with information about forensic science and cases of death. Discretion advised.

Here is every religion in the world.

Here is every language in the world.

Here are methods of torture. Discretion advised.

Here are descriptions of the various methods used for the death penalty. Discretion advised.

Here are poisonous plants.

Here are plants in general.

Feel free to add more to this!

For the bodhisattva version I got nothing beyond this au that you’re already familiar with, so maybe fic finders know?

so now that I’ve got an ao3 (sapphireswimming there too btw), I’ve been crossposting my stuff, and went to the end of the Danny Phantom archive so I could work my way back and subscribe to familiar usernames, right?

can… can someone tell me why my fics go to nearly the end of the archive????? like omg I know I entered the phandom a generation ahead of where we are now but?????? I hadn’t even heard of the show until it had been cancelled for several years?????? there were SO MANY big name classic fics and well established authors and like. a whole expansive body of work that I plowed through for months before feeling like I’d gotten a taste of what the phandom had done and. all the fics that formed my fandom experience and taught me what fandom could do

and you’re telling me that there’s literally thousands of them that just? never?? made it to ao3???? that 75% of the fandom’s fanfics haven’t been crossposted??? that there’s only 5 pages of the 12k+ works from before 2011?????

I… I should be in the middle, guys. solidly, solidly in the middle. I don’t start until page 500 or so in ffn???? this is.

I’m. I’m gonna go sit down

Fic finders! I'm looking for that one Fic where Inko and Toshinori are high school sweethearts and she goes to America with him, discovers she is pregnant there (with Shouta), they lived with the Shields? She was there for college. They have Izuku after coming back to Japan, and honestly that's all substantial that i can remember

Your body was the host for the Dark Lord. People know that you yourself didn’t do anything wrong, but having the face of a tyrant makes people wary around you. After his defeat, and having been freed, you kept his powers and muscle memory, makes being a reclusive hunter easier at least.
