um so professional diagnosed autism haver here

youre like a complete mirror of myself do you have aspergers or any other kind of autism or have you ever considered the possibility of having it?

I'm not exactly sure what that is, but this isn't the first time someone has brought it up about me. From what they've said, probably. But that would mean you and I have something in common, and you seem like a delightful chap, so that's a win for sure.

#red guy answers #dhmis #don't hug me i'm scared #note from the owner of this blog:#i answered this in character as best i could but in reality yes i do think hes autistic #i havent been answering with that in mind specifically #but ive done lots of research abt autism and adhd trying to figure out what i personally have (which ended up being adhd) and my bff is #autistic #so maybe ive been subconsciously channeling that?#maybe #i hope i havent done anything like offensive #ive just been having fun

my favorite thing about writing ethan pov in general has to be the way he censors his own mind. catholic guilt boy im obsessed with you

#ethan hunt #mission impossible #classical music au #ethan is one of my favorite characters to write pov from. it's possible when you're in his head to maintain a mystery #that he knows the answer to and the reader doesn't #specifically because he Will Not Let Himself Think about certain things and he's so good at it #this is especially true for MI1 Ethan and his corresponding era in the AU where he's living in an intricate system of #guilt and subconscious fear for such a long period of time that it becomes mundane.#but it's true also later because the mi1 experience impacts so directly his ability to Want things #to get angry #to allow himself to be impure anywhere where the people who love him can see/anywhere near his role as an action hero and team leader #etc #he sees these things as Unacceptable #and if anything he’s thinking or experiencing threatens that he just. puts it away.#there’s so much misdirection going on it’s so fun

The way you write Ingo and Akari's interactions with each other never fails to warm my heart. And after seeing how he is with Rei in oop, I'm so excited to see how Emmet interacts with Akari. And let's not forget how your Cyllene is with Rei, and how she considers him Her Boy. I just love the intergenerational relationships you have going on. Kids deserve to have good adults in their lives, especially ones like Akari and Rei who have had it so rough.

There are... a lot of things I don't like about many interpretations of Emmet in fandom, but one I especially dislike is when he's overly rude or dismissive towards the kids. You avoid that trap neatly, though that's no surprise because the way you write him is one of my all time favorites. That's maybe a bit beside the point though.

In any case, I loved the little prompt snippets you wrote yesterday about Ingo with both Akari and Rei. The one you wrote with Rei was both cool and heartbreaking with how his dedication and care was the only thing keeping him going, all so Rei might have the chance to live. And the one Akari was so sweet and heartwarming, with how gentle his love for her was. She doesn't know it, but Ingo's home isn't a place, like her it's the people he cares about, and she's included in that too now. In this au where he's so close to her, it wouldn't be complete without her there.

WAAAAH THIS IS SUCH A NICE ASK?? THANK YOU?? thank you so much... i'm gonna cry this is so sweet. thank youuuu... i uh rambled a lot about characters and relationships so i'm going to put the rest of that under. a cut i think. contd:

anyway. YEAH re: kids deserving Good Adults. tbh whenever i see a kid on their own in fiction it activates some kind of primal pack bonding instinct in me to protect them, so this is like, vicarious parenting. and i just REALLY like characters who are Good With Kids, it's like one of my fav character traits that makes me instantly love them. and i love all the different ways that can come through, like, like you said, cyllene who isn't so great at saying how she feels but has SO adopted these two. so. yes. this is primarily self indulgent. it all comes back to my love of picking apart character motivations lol

also WHO is making emmet not nice to kids. i'll fight them. i'll duel them in the street right now. why is everyone else so WRONG about my BLORBO. i think- not to Also get sidetracked, lol, but- i think emmet is someone who's extremely straightforward with everything he says, and doesn't back down, but the critical thing is that all that blunt directness and stubbornness is backed by an intense motivation to help and protect others. so that's what i'm trying to channel when he's with rei or anyone else—specifically because he doesn't try to hedge his words or anything, it is so obvious at all times that he Cares and wants to Help. which can be like, intensely validating/reassuring/trust-building. like short and direct and not good at subtlety don't have to be negative asshole-building character traits!! ...but uhh anyway what were we talking about again

ingo ficlets right. YEAHH THANK YOU... i think in comparison to emmet ingo is like. actually good with people, in the sense that he can read peoples' emotions from their words and actions much better, and is very understanding and patient. and obviously he's also driven by that same compassion. trying really hard not to just make this about comparing how i characterize them both ANYWAY. and i am giving him the Parenting Instincts, lol, which, i think he has an immediate reaction of "oh i need to help you" when he sees anyone who's lost/hurt/confused, but it's stronger with kids bc they obviously tend to have less ability to support themselves. so with akari in the adoption fic i keep gesturing towards and Not Finishing, and rei in the ficlet who got separated from his usual crew, he just adopts them very quickly lol. (there's also something to be said there for how i usually write amnesiac-ingo as having a kind of busted self-perception, as we've covered, so he's outsourcing his motivation and desire to continue living to others, which is sort of a Not Great aspect of this, but uhh that's getting sidetracked again)

anyway YEAH!! his home is his loved ones!! yessss exactly!! you have it spot on, i think in that snippet after akari brings it up he does have that thought of, all he has to judge his "home" by is a vague vibe that it was good and he misses it. what if it isn't as perfect as his non-memory thinks it is? what if it can't/won't make space for akari? in which case i think that despite how much he misses it, he would be fully prepared to walk out of it for her. because like you said, his home isn't a place, it's the people!! so if akari can't belong there, then it isn't his home, either. (not that it would ever come to that in reality)

so. yes. as you can probably tell i could go on about this subject forever. just adhd tangent after tangent about kids, and the ways they get treated, and what it says about characters, and character motivations in general, and bitching about how my blorbo gets misinterpreted. but. my point is. this was a very nice ask i am going to print it out and tape it in my diary thank you

#the nemesis speaks #the nemesis answers #anonymous #not to go on and on in the tags also bc i should really be getting to bed about now but #the thing is a lot of the way i write characters at first is like. almost subconscious. and then i analyze the writing #and suddenly there are character traits that jump out at me as obvious that didn't even ping before #it was just natural like oh of course this character does xyz in the moment. that's simply What They Do.#and then reading back is like ohhhh they do xyz because they want/need/fear abc #and that's like my fav thing about writing and fic!! it's like peeling the characters apart to get at the insides #anyway also i love emmet so much just to also say that for the billionth time. hes <3 <333 #ok done for real now i promise

for verre 😭: How easily do they cry? Do they ever cry in front of other people? When was the last time they cried?

In day-to-day life it's hard to make Verre cry. She's resilient in social situations, takes things as they come, and is excellent at keeping a cool head in emergencies - things have to be going extremely sideways for her to break down crying. She's an effective emotional rock for the people around her and a reliable shoulder to cry on for her loved ones.

That said, Verre is an incredibly sentimental person. Especially about flowers. Any gift of flowers - dried, pressed, fresh, or otherwise - will lead to her crying sooner or later, though she prefers to retreat to the privacy of her workshop before the tears start if she can. She's not always successful.

as far as the last time she's cried... it's hard to say. mostly because my timeline for her is still heavily under development... odds are it's a time where she gets overwhelmed with her memories or she's relieved after worrying about her family?

#answered asks #thank you for the ask!#oc: verre hyskaris #man i forgot how fun verre is to think about #she's a great character to contrast with the others #and comparing her recurring elements to my other characters is way more funky than i expect it to be #mechanical minded bun surrounds herself with machinery to subconsciously avoid thinking about the forest she left behind #only to be sucker punched with emotion/memories whenever she's presented with flowers #she wears them as penance. she wears them as healing. she wears them as memory.#and she's just. ;-; she's gonna be okay one day. just not today.#(short hair verre is her being okay/post character development/her recovered from the worst of her grief)#(i just haven't quite worked out the timeline of when she does it relative to nailah's journey...)#(its sometime post shb though. i think im gonna keep the whole 'verre gets yeeted to the first' idea after all)

Do you think that chara was the older sibling, or asriel? Or if they were the same age

either the same age or older than him. partly it would explain how they managed to manipulate/convince him to follow the plan even though he was clearly having second thoughts from the start, partly because if asriel had been the older brother, he would've suggested HE give up his SOUL instead, being. y'know. a boss monster. not saying he would've actually done that!! just that he would've put it on the table.

but i think same age is much more likely

#but not older asriel though i know a lot of people go for that option for some reason? not sure if I'm missing some context #but i could never see him being the eldest. to me he just screams baby brother as a character #or maybe I'm subconsciously paralleling him with papyrus? who knows #answered asks #undertale #asriel #chara

“Why are fics writing him [miguel] to be a feral mean beast” LMFAOOOO did we watch the same movie… he used his claws to try to break a barrier to he could stop miles. he literally slammed miles into a train numerous times. he may have a softer said but he IS mean and feral… and if anything, that should be embraced bc his personality changes make him more interesting.

no i obviously mean in a romantic light… normally miguel obviously doesn’t act like that the mf was traumatized, panicked, and projecting all his shit onto miles. he REALLY didn’t want another canon event disrupted. so did we watch the movie?? most fics just generalize him to be a horrible romantic partner. sure he can be fucking crazy i’ve seen that i’m not fucking stupid but obviously the mf doesn’t act like that normally you can see it on peter’s face when he was trying to break the machine sending miles home let’s be so serious right now. i didnt say dont write him that way i meant why is he acting like that towards a romantic partner. and the answer is that obviously people wanna project all their gross kinks onto a brown man because they’re stereotyped to be aggressive, animalistic, feral, etc. if you wanna have a discussion like this get off anon bruh

#his animalistic side is definitely interesting to me but it shouldn’t be all he is which is what most of these fanfics are doing #it seems off and weird #doesn’t matter if they’re doing it subconsciously you shouldn’t write a brown man that way.#clover answers ❗️#also it’s kinda funny you came into here after something i explained in the TAGS of a random miguel post #like the og post was talking about his fangs you really read through all my tags about me ranting about his character that’s kinda funny idk #bro i explained it in the tags and yet you still don’t get it 😭😭#like you really saw that scene where he was desperate and saying dumb ass shit to miles and went yea that man is totally in his right mind #and acting like himself and mentally healthy and sane #jesus fucking christ #atsv #spiderman across the spiderverse #satsv #across the spiderverse #spiderman 2099 #miguel o’ hara

CESCO!!! I WOULD BUY A VRN TO DATE KLEO SPECIFICALLY!!!! beloved himbo owo

KLEO! Beloved himbo.

A dating route with her would be a little strange because most of the roads lead to the ‘friendship’ path. (Bad path only happens if you’re directly mean to her or others).

To get the ‘romance’ path you have to pick the incredibly direct and blunt options. She does not understand metaphors or implications. You have to say to her face ‘I like you in a romantic way I want to kiss you’ rejection after this is near impossible to get so long as you were already on the friendship path.

Kleo doesn’t really know what normal people do to hang out/go on dates. So a lot of events are just following her on whatever weird errand they priory sent her on.

If you ask her out to somewhere like a real date though, she’ll be very excited and happily accept!

#ask game answers #Kalliope #something I’ve also realized about Kleos character #tho it’s something she only feels subconsciously she’s not aware of it #is that I honestly feel like she does have a tiny bit of a self esteem issue #just whatever comes from being consistently scolded for being stupid or breaking something because your too big #which is why people always gotta initiate anything romantic #because I don’t think she (at least subconsciously) sees herself as desirable

Hi I was wondering about your Jake and who is he based on?? Because I don't know how to explain it and I don't want to seem rude but he shows up as dry and emotionless oreven more aromantic but in the comics he's very gentle and loving towards Marlene like he can fall in love head over heals and have a child with someone, even in the last issue of moon knight you can realize how stern and upset Steven was in the headspace meanwhile Jake is gentle towards Marc and talks about his friends and Marlene with such sadness and nostalgia it's heartbreaking

Oh he's definitely definitely not emotionless.

Keep in mind that the Jake I talk about is an hypothetical Jake where we'd pick up on the Moon Boys at the beginning of season 2. While 616!Jake has been fronting for much longer and has interacted with Marc and Steven much much more.

.

For my interpretation of Jake, I'm basing myself off of a few logical deductions from the few hints we got about him in season 1. I do think he is soft and tender - or rather, used to be, had the potential to be, and might get there again.

616!Jake is post-character development MCU!Jake. That's how I see it in my headcanon. They're not different characters they're just not at the same places in their life.

My Jake is full, *full* of emotions he doesn't really know how to properly deal with. He's learned to cope with them all by himself, with nobody to help, nobody to talk to. That's why he can seem a bit...odd sometimes. But not to people who don't interact with him constantly though.

He seems very friendly, funny, positive and warm to most people who interact with him, get to know him. He rarely displays any negative emotions, and when he does they're very muted.

.

Another thing to keep in mind was that in that comics issue both Steven and Jake were in the innerspace while they were talking to Marc fronting.

Innerspace!Jake is a whole other thing entirely. He definitely displays more emotions, more genuine ones at the very least, when he's there, just like his 616 counterpart. Although with more immaturity and unpredictably, but again that's because he just started his character development. MCU!Jake is at point A while comics!Jake is at point M or something like that.

.

MCU!Jake's walls are different than Marc's, and stronger in a way. It's easier for him to do some things, like show happiness, but his walls are there for a reason. It's not because he's ashamed, or toxic masculinity or anything like that, it's because he *knows* he's very sensitive. And if these walls break, it'd be like a dam opening that might never be able to close up again.

.

His context is also different than 616!Jake, since how they got DID has been changed from one medium to the other. For me, I asked myself the question, how would you be if the only thing you knew growing up was violence and nothing else? That you were alone, that you could barely have a life in between months of blackouts until well into your 30s? What if MCU!Jake was indeed as sensitive as MCU!Steven but went through all this? What would he be like?

From what we got in the show, we know that Jake is *definitely* the physical protector of the system. And for a long time, he only had that. So he takes it seriously, he takes pride in it. He doesn't want to let anybody down- he can't. So it's still an important part of him.

Jake deeply deeply loves people, but he never received love before. So his love is painful. Would his lovers really want him to be honest about his love, about how it makes him feel?

.

Hope that helped clear things up about him !

I always try to make sure that people get that my Jake is far from emotionless. Unfortunately it seems like not everyone saw it.

Not knowing what to do with unfamiliar emotions isn't the same thing as being emotionless. And the more he encounters those new emotions, the more acclimatized to them he will be, and will learn what to do with them. And then he'll be well on his way to be the 616!Jake we know and love.

If you want the full details of my thoughts process about Jake's character analysis I suggest you follow my tags for him (in order of the most used) :

# nobody expects the Spanish Lockley

# Jake: I came I saw and I saved your dumb asses

# Jake Lockley isn't unreasonable

# Jake Lockley try his best

All of this is also the way I found to account for everything Jake did in season 1, as well as the multiple versions of 616!Jake, without making him 'evil', because he's not.

#aw I hope not many people read my Jake that way #that means I'm not so good at communicating #once Jake and Marc get going on real talks between each other Jake's arc will jump in speed #lots of frustration and subconscious blockages to work through first though #moon knight #moon knight fic #moon knight meta #anon asks #anon answers #moon knight headcanon #moon knight character analysis #jake Lockley #jake x frenchie #jake x mart murdock #jake x layla #nobody expects the spanish lockley #jake: i came i saw and i saved your dumb asses #jake lockley isn't unreasonable #jake lockley tries his best

“people think i’m weird.” ( for sarang!! )

@kamipyre | more random dialogue prompts | ♥

---

"Oh, darling," Sarang twirls the origami between her fingers, turning it this way and that. She's been practicing. Caught herself brushing her fingers over all sorts of paper, pamphlets, magazines, even the stiffer napkins of some restaurants, mind subconsciously drawn to the forensics expert and the life she exudes.

She's not admitting it to herself yet. That would be detrimental to her cause, wouldn't it? Knowing someone is leaving an impact.

Her smile tastes like poisoned vin brule when she lifts her head to smile at Suki. Her origami is no more than a bookmark, butterfly-shaped, once she'd find while mindlessly scrolling through short videos over short videos, trapped in the pretense of someone fallen deep enough into that she wouldn't possibly notice approaching danger.

She'd been waiting.

She killed her target.

And yet, after getting rid of everything that belonged to that persona, the video had remained.

Suki had remained.

Beyond the personas.

Beyond Sarang's understanding that losing is better than gaining, in terms of connections and people to think of. It's easier when she holds onto something with the excuse she likes to get a rise out of them, or with curiosity justified by the potential of the answer helping some of her endeavours.

But Suki?

Well... maybe... wouldn't be a bonus to have someone like her on her metaphorical, expendable team? Forensic specialist, tough cookie, investigative penchant, assertive and sweet.

Suki would be an incredible asset.

Alas... Sarang isn't putting a lot of effort into... trying to adjust her to perfection to fulfill some sort of task or the other. She doubts someone working for the police department doesn't have anything on her registered somewhere. The occasional mumble or knowing look from her colleagues, because no matter how tight-knit, someone will always talk, really, would it be that difficult for Sarang to start digging?

She crumbles the origami she made in a tight fist.

"Because people are dull, insecure, unimaginative. People who waste time thinking you're weird are the same people who curse their lives on their death-bed for having been too good. You're perfect, lovely. And much more interesting than any people."

honey, can you… oh shit wait i forgot we’re not dating (yet)

✼ characters ┈ zhongli, al haitham, wriothesley, neuvillette

✼ tags ┈ gn!reader, fluff, non-established relationship, potential secondhand embarrassment, boyfailure neuvillette (/aff)

✼ a/n ┈ zhongrin uploaded 3 weeks in a row?! madness!!! utter madness!!!! /silly i feel like i've been writing too much cutesy/sfw stuff lately.... i want to write 'darker' types of stuff but my brain doesn't seem to want to cooperate ugh pain

ꜱᴘᴇᴄɪᴀʟ ᴍᴇɴᴜ (ꜱᴇʀɪᴇꜱ ᴍᴀꜱᴛᴇʀʟɪꜱᴛ) ✼ ᴏᴜʀ ꜰᴜʟʟ ᴍᴇɴᴜ (ᴍᴀꜱᴛᴇʀʟɪꜱᴛ) ✼ ᴍᴇᴍʙᴇʀꜱʜɪᴘ (ᴛᴀɢʟɪꜱᴛ)

zhongli watches your reaction closely, at first.

when he deduces that you were self-aware of your own oversight and are evidently panicking about it, he gives you a warm chuckle and shakes his head gently, “there is no need to apologize, and please do not feel mortified in any way. it really is fine.”

if you continue to not believe him, the ex-archon will be as patient as ever with his words of reassurances, and he does not mind repeating them until you feel comfortable enough to ask him the real errand that you wished to bestow upon him.

... but not before he gently places a hand to the small of your back to lead you to walk a little closer to him due to the increasing crowd on the streets, his voice a tender caress to your ear, “coming from you, i certainly did not mind the nickname.”

al haitham raises his eyebrows and shuts his book, “what a fascinating blunder. is that how you view our relationship subconsciously? or perhaps it’s an innate desire you’ve chosen to suppress but accidentally slipped out in a moment of unawareness?”

the scholar has the decency to wait for your answer betwixt your embarrassment, but he eventually sighs when you failed to form a coherent answer that satisfied his inquiries.

“you seem to have the impression that i am displeased at your err. i’d like to inform you that your assumption is yet another mistake - which, i would theorize, was made in the rush of the moment as your nervous system kicks into gear, therefore clouding your judgement. i would suggest you take a few moments to reanalyze my stance based on this new information. i’ll wait.”

and with that, he opens his book once more.

.... um.

congratulations, i guess?

wriothesley takes the opportunity and replies with a cheeky, “yes, honey? what can i do for you, sweetheart?”

he relishes in the utter embarrassment that quickly spread across your face that’s akin to water faced with his cryo elemental energy (though secretly he’s also dying inside at the cheesiness of the situation) and throws you a boyish grin before ruffling your hair.

not a man to let an opportunity escape, the duke decides to leverage the moment to take his metaphorical shot and goes immediately for a straight jab, like an experienced boxer that he is, all the while praying to the hydro archon so that this would be yet another match he could flawlessly win, “you know, my schedule’s particularly relaxed today… i wouldn’t mind staying longer if you want to make it a date?”

neuvillette blinks owlishly, his pale cheeks blooming with warmth as the situation starts to sink in. you, the apple of his eye, whom he treasured dearly and had taken great care to court, had just called him with a term of endearment that he had always dreamed of hearing.

wait, was this a dream? his gloved hands quickly found purchase on his blue horns, before he brought his hands in front of his eyes. okay, he had two horns and ten fingers, still. so he must not have daydreamed this. ah- wait, you’re staring at him. oh, now you’re giggling. and now you’re calling him silly. oh, it should be a crime to be so breathtakingー

it’s not until your expression changed into surprise that he realized he had said that thought outloud.

your teasing “if it’s a crime, are you going to put me on trial, monsieur?” elicits a darker blush on his pale cheeks and an awkward cough out of him.

.... this must be how the young ones flirt nowadays.

“perhaps after a proper date? if it’s not impertinent of me, may i be allowed to take you out on dinner tonight?”

This was a pure joy to work on.

For the behind-the-scenes story of how I made this animated mini-short, click “keep reading” below.

I started this 6 weeks ago, just before Nintendo shut down its 3DS and WiiU servers. The server shutdown meant no more multi-player online play for 3DS games, like Mario Kart 7, but also no more uploading to the Butterfly Animation online gallery directly from the app.

As an homage to the Inchworm and Butterfly Animation apps for the DSi and 3DS that I’ve been animating on since 2011, I originally was just going to animate just a single shot featuring something butterfly related.

But the story evolved as I began asking myself a series of "what if" questions that I had fun answering, like, “what if it was a little girl playing dress up as a butterfly?” And then “what if she was first cosplaying as a caterpillar then the butterfly?” “If this is a story of growth, what if she stumbles? What is her attitude when she stumbles?” “What if the design of the girl was something like Isao Takahata or Yoichi Kotabe would draw?”

Making this was the embodiment of everything I hope to achieve with my personal animation: to let creativity flow and just have fun animating and creating.

Since this mini-short was animated on my Nintendo 3DS, there was a memory limit of only 100 drawings, which was a bit of a challenge for longer or complex actions, but was a fun puzzle to solve. Sometimes limitations force you to come up with even more creative solutions. (I was able the squeeze in more drawings than the memory allowed, and filled it to the max!) :)

The song I used is from Rebecca Sugar’s album, "Spiral Bound", and perfectly fit the theme of the short. Initially, while I was drawing the character, I found myself humming a tune from Steven Universe that dealt with beginnings, endings, and not being ready. It’s amazing how the brain can subconsciously pick the playlist!

In the end, that song, sung by Steven’s father in the show, didn’t quite fit, but then I remembered another song by Rebecca Sugar which was more on theme with my story, called “My Own Way to the End”. The whole album is wonderful! You can check it out here:

Painting the backgrounds for this was the most challenging thing for me, but also the most eye opening! After painting, I would look around at the trees in the neighborhood differently. So many colors when you really look closely.

There’s so many talented people at my work and it was great that I could ask them for advice. One person I asked was the talented Tia Kratter, who happened to teach a mini-painting class for the animators while I was working on this short. I asked her for advice on one of the background paintings and she asked great questions which challenged me to try different things, but I still felt like I was having fun and playing without fear of failure. I mean, it was still hard though! Hahaha!

If you’ve read up to this point, thank you for reading this. :) I hope you enjoy this mini-short as much as I enjoyed making it!

Not really sure how I feel…

Disgusted? Disappointed? Unsurprised?

But more than that, am I supposed to do something with this information?

#need help reacting to something #the response should be to drop them like hot shit #but it doesn’t feel out of character for them #and if it doesn’t feel out of character did I know they were capable of this or were more than likely doing something of a similar nature #am I complicit #did I assume something similar of them and accept them as a friend anyway?#fundamentally I’m aware I can change my opinions and draw new lines in the sand #I think I’ve been subconsciously putting new boundaries down anyway #the underlying issue is my fear of being alone #without friends #of not finding a bond that feels effortless at times #I’m no longer in a place where it’s easy to find people my age #and I have trouble keeping up with people #so few understand the way I communicate #or I suppose the way I don’t communicate but still hold precious my friendships #it feels hard and I guess it should #the answer is so easy but I’m not ready

Scene Transitions

Transitioning between scenes is something that you’ll have to do a lot. A good scene transition blends seamlessly into the next so we hardly notice it occurring—or it stands out in order to heighten an emotional impact.

I remember teachers saying, “transitions should blend seamlessly” to me in school without ever explaining how to do that, or what it looks like. The good news is, you’ve probably read so many books and consumed so much media that you’re already subconsciously transitioning your scenes. If you’re struggling, though, here’s what to watch out for:

1. The emotion ends off and begins at the same place.

This isn’t necessarily a hard rule, but it certainly helps maintain a sort of flow to the work, and asks a lot less from your readers than putting them through an emotional rollercoaster. This counts whether it’s transitioning from the same POV or different ones.

For example, if your character is being chased by the police and the scene cuts off without knowing what happens to them, the next scene needs to begin in this heightened sense of urgency and anxiety.

However, if your character is being chased by police and dives unnoticed into their hideout, the next scene should begin within this sense of relief. From here, you can take it wherever you want—just maintain a consistency between chapter cuts, POVs, or other time/place skips.

2. Finish what you start

Unless you’re intentionally keeping the audience in the dark about something (which would require at least some acknowledgement that there are answers, they just aren’t being revealed), you should finish what one scene starts.

Say your previous chapter ends off with the character finally reaching the end of the line for the super scary haunted house attraction. The next should probably begin with them getting to enter the house. If it begins the next day, we’ll be so caught up in the missing time and the obvious lack of answers surrounding the haunted house it’ll take us completely out of the scene and make a notable cut.

An example of a story that does this notable cut really well is ‘A Face Like Glass’ by Frances Hardinge, in which nearing the end, Hardinge inserts a page that playfully acknowledges the complete jump in time and space without revealing anything to the readers about why it’s there, leaving them to discover later on what occurred in that space.

I wish I could quote it exactly but I don’t have the book with me. If anyone does, please reblog this with the page! You’ll know the one I’m talking about.

3. Keep it the same

Don’t switch to a new POV in the middle of the story when you’ve never seen it before unless intentionally making a point. Do transition your scenes however you’d like, but maintain consistency throughout the story. That way, if you ever need to make a point, you can break all the rules you’ve followed to really hammer home the impact.

Good luck!
