Hi, I was wondering if you had any writing advice? Mainly about keeping characters in character as well as just general writing tips you use/for how you write. I really love your fanfictions, especially Superhuman, and really aspire to write as good as you do one day.
Oh wow! I haven’t been on Tumblr for a hot minute haha, but I saw this notification and had to answer. This is so incredibly sweet of you to say. I have a few things to keep in mind!
The main way I achieve what we call Deep Point of View (Deep POV for short!) is understanding a character’s voice. The way to do that is to really understand your own. Do you write with humor? With clinical precision? With a hint of dread? Finding your own voice is probably at once the hardest and easiest thing for a writer to accomplish, but when you know you know, if that makes sense.
Once you understand your own voice, then you’re able to extend to to the type of character you’re writing for accordingly. For example, my voice has a mix of matter-of-fact humor, empathy, and just a dash of dread. Writing for a character like Izuku, the way I understand him is that he has a healthy amount anxiety but also an incredible bravery, while being empathetic himself. He also has a sardonic kind of humor. This means that his character voice is really close to my own natural voice, so I don’t have to get into a different mindset to write for him. For someone like Ochako, for as similar as she is to Izuku, I have to shift into a different mindset to write for her— rather than draw from a place of anxiety/shyness, I try to imagine being outgoing and encouraging. Todoroki for example would be much more straightforward and cynical. I’m writing one for Mina, and I’m drawing on that Gen Z hyperbolic humor.
The above methodology of putting myself in the characters’ shoes— and considering their prior experiences (Ochako being raised poor, Izuku not having many friends, Katsuki being a total ass, etc) is the main way achieve character writing. But here are some other tips to really drive it home!
1. Consider their vocabulary— I write according to the dub, so I’ll rewatch dubbed scenes similar in tone to what I’m writing. Hearing Izuku talk and the particular way he words things makes dialogue manifest naturally, and so on for other characters.
2. Imagining my stories as like an anime episode or manga chapter definitely helps me conjure up those background setting details that really bring a reader into a scene— think five senses. If your character is standing in the school for example, what do they see, hear, or smell?
3. When I get bored with a scene, my very first question is how I can bring one of the ship members into it to make it more of a ship tease. That’s what’s fun to me.
4. Speaking of ships, this isn’t just limited to izuocha, but when it comes to them I don’t focus necessarily on romance. My rule is that if you need them to kiss in my stories to tell they love each other, then I’m not doing it right! Oftentimes romances in fiction lack friendship to the point where you wonder if the ship even likes each other as people outside of sexual tension, and I very much don’t subscribe to that haha. I write them as best friends first, and the crush part sort of comes naturally after. I really like the innocence and purity and earnestness of it all, and that’s what makes ship writing powerful for me.
Thank you so much once again for your compliments, and I sincerely hope this is helpful!!

Sorry but the "a woman just died and her family is mourning" speech doesn't really apply for the woman who's responsible for almost half the world's colonisation and the death of millions of people everyday for like 70 years

Oh good god it's gotten worse
Okay, so I just saw a tiktok saying "hey, ao3 is not tiktok. Do not censor words, especially in the tags." I stg people are losing brain cells. The tiktoker then proceeded to show an example of the tag they saw which was:
"s..cidal ideation"
I don't know who needs to, once again, hear this, but you are stopping the tagging system, and filtration system from working.
People censor words on platforms like tiktok to stop the algorithm from picking up their video and automatically taking it down or restricting it.
A tagging system works so that other people can easily filter the content they do and don't want to see. So if some had "suicidal ideation" in their filtered tags so that they won't see things containing that subject matter, by censoring the word suicidal, you have now stopped the tagging/filtration system from working and now the individual is going to see content that they had made sure to filter out.
Please stop censoring words and/or phrases. Especially in tags. You are literally stopping the system from working and doing its job. Ao3 (and Tumblr) is not tiktok. The tags are there for a reason. Don't censor them.

Adding that you should absolutely consume sugar— it’s easy to ignore in the heat but sweating releases important electrolytes and other such things from the body. Even something as simple as some skittles can help.
As a person who lives in arizona (HOT desert climate) where every single summer is Like This (46c+ temps daily), here are some tips.
Europeans i’m very sorry you’re dealing with 30n weather at 60n latitudes. Please be safe. I’m also sorry for every ignorant southern american who’s telling you that this is how summer is every year - one peek at a map should have told them that britain should NOT have texas/southern USA temps.
1. Drink so much more water than you think you need.
2. Wear sunscreen, seriously. Especially if you live somewhere that doesn’t normally get this hot. Even if there’s cloud cover you can burn. Wear sunscreen on your scalp if your hair is thin enough that the sun hits it. Same for if your hair is pretty short or super blonde.
3. Stay inside as much as possible. Honestly. Even the people who live here in AZ stay inside when it’s like this.
4. Wear light, loose clothes. Try to stick with natural fibers instead of polyester and the like. If you can swing it, even wear loose undies.
5. If you start to feel Generally Shitty, go the heck inside. There’s a long list of symptoms I’m sure you’ve seen for heat exhaustion and heatstroke, but the general thing is that if you feel bad, go inside. Personally, i get cold and clammy, a headache, and vertigo, but everyone’s different. Listen to your body. You really, really, really, really don’t want heat exhaustion. I promise.
5.1. If you’re nauseated from the heat sip water. Don’t just not eat or drink because you’re sick to your stomach - the nausea is because you’re dehydrated.
6. Do you guys have air conditioning? I genuinely do not know. If you don’t, put a bowl of ice in front of a fan. I had no ac last summer and this works really well.
7. Getting water on you helps cool you down even in humid climates like britain. I use a tiny spray bottle with water and aloe on my face and arms when it’s really hot.
8. Wear shoes! The pavement and even the grass will burn your feet.
9. This is not the time to get a tan.
10. Don’t use your oven if you can help it. My oven doesn’t turn on at all from may to september.
If you have any other questions, i’ve lived here for 26 years - please dm me and i’ll help if i can! Fellow americans - grow up, if texas and arizona had britain weather we’d all be crying and freezing.

Okay but Shinsou next to bakugo think about the implications for a moment because they are beautiful
Tumblr media
The ‘Shinsou replaced Mineta’ troupe is popular in fics but something I’ve noticed is that the fics seem to literally just put Shinsou in Mineta’s seat when describing class room scenes but if you consider the fact that the seating plan goes by Alphabetic order of the Japanese alphabet then in the ‘Shinsou replaced Mineta’ universes the seating plan would actually look like this

All the talk about “oh Elon Musk’s buying twitter now all the people who fled from tumblr to twitter are gonna come back here” and gotta say. I’m on edge. SOMETHING happened to tumblr between 2018 and 2020 that turned it from a warzone to a tolerable shitposting website and my one best guess has always been that the p/orn ban sent so many people packing to twitter that we ended up exporting all our native-grown gremlins to the bird site. I back this theory up by the fact that all batshit fandom drama I hear about these days comes from twitter.
So for most people coming back, happy to see you welcome have some tea or coffee over on the table to the left but if the shit-stirrers come back for me it’s on sight. It’s on sight. First time around I was nice I was like “oh I shouldn’t engage if I’m the Bigger Blog that’s a bad move to put smaller blogs on blast :(” free pass is up. I’ll name and shame. I clawed my way back up from 6 feet underground and I���m not doing it again I’ll defend this garbage tower to the death. PVP. I’ll salt the earth I’ll poison the water supply I’ll burn the village down hand in unlovable hand I’ll take everyone and everything down with me before I cede this stupid blog again it’s on. sight.
Oh also there’s some lemon bars too.

Summary:  It’s been a year and a half since Ochako’s promotion to Pro-Partner at the Ryukyu Agency, and life seems good, despite the distance wedged between her and Izuku’s loving relationship. Success, friends, and a great partner make for a quasi-paradise while he’s away. But when the office is tasked with a missing person’s case, the team quickly finds themselves chasing down a crime ring centered on trafficking people with feral quirks. Against old wounds, Ochako will stop at nothing to free the people trapped on display, and keep her partner from becoming ensnared as well.
The sequel to Missing!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Her breath curled in front of her face, the only warmth in the frosty air. Even as the medics checked her over from the back of an ambulance, she couldn’t stop staring up at the apartment building before her.
It was dark now. Streetlamps had flickered on as the sun disappeared behind the ocean, giving way to the deepest curtain of blue and violet behind the skyscrapers and city lights. Even in that gloom it was plain to see the building she and her fellow heroes had just emerged was lifeless. Red and white emergency lights illuminated the faded brickwork and the wood boarding up each window. Uravity could have sworn each had held lamp light just that afternoon, but, according to the police, that had never been.
