Found Family Tournament Round 1 Part 29 Group 142

Propaganda and further images under the cut

Undertale Cast: Sans, Papyrus, Toriel, Asgore, Undyne, Alphys, Mettaton, Napstablook

Books and Swords: Richard St Vier, Alec

Submissions have now closed!

Undertale Cast:

Sorry, I got no propaganda for them yet :(

Books and Swords:

They're lovers in a "it's complicated" relationship (if you haven't heard of them it's because the book was published in the 80's). Alec's a fucked up self-destructive ex-scholar who's cut ties with his family and Richard's the fucked up illiterate and brilliant swordsman humoring him when Alec's bored and wants to cause mayhem (read : finds a new way to make a sworn enemy, which happens quite often). Their relationship is very intense. They need each other. They have nobody else.

unfortunately it is not the time to be normal. it is time for me to watch richard iii (1983) directed by jane howell for the third time in six months.

#i was trying to watch other things but i couldn't leave off the henry vi trilogy wo watching richard iii #tales from diana #ron cook is sooooo good as richard #also i wonder how ppl enjoy this play (or adaptations w it) without having read/seen the 3 parts of henry vi first?#not like 'i wonder' like 'i dont see it as possible' but like this time around especially #it really just sticks w me how inseparable it is from its 3 prior history plays you know #like i first read the henry vi plays bc ned convinced me to way back in the day #and i knew nothing about any of them medieval english kings. like not the first thing #so i didnt realize r3 was immediately after them or like the same series or anything #im not even sure i understood yet how famous *some* of the history plays are yet? or. i dont remember #i still had had the riverside shakespeare for less than a year when i started reading h6 #so it was still pretty new to me i suppose.#but i suppose i cant imagine how compelling richard might be wo the buildup of his characters in h6 parts 2 and 3 #shakespeare does such a good job of developing his character throughout those plays that by the time you get to his own #its like YAAAASSS BITCH #KILL THEM KILL EVERYONE WE LOVE YOU YOURE PERFECT #(he is not perfect. but he is to me)

Seeing Myself in Your Eyes

Summary:

The will of the gods cannot be hidden.

(Or not for long.)

Rating: Mature Fandom: Naruto Relationship: Senju Tobirama/Uchiha Madara Word Count: 1878 (Complete)

Entry for @madatobiweek2022

Day 3 - October 11: Soulmates | At the riverside

This story is a gift for @emilx311 who wrote the very first 'red eyes are blessed' AU and kindly gave me permission to play in their sandbox.

It's also a gift for peppymint, whose story collection Children of War contains many short stories also inspired by Emilx311's work. Chapter 13 of that collection is where I first saw the idea of Tobirama's happuri being used to hide his eye colour.

Izuna grips the hilt of his sword.

He's been looking forward to this, his first steps onto the battlefield that is the war between his clan and the Senju, to showing nii-san where their true allegiances must lie.

Nii-san dreams of peace and it's a worthy dream, but their clan cannot afford to dream it with him. Theirs is a history written in blood, and Izuna knows - he knows - that they will only be able to rest secure when all the other clans bow to them.

Only then can they have the peace that nii-san wants so much.

Izuna prays that day will come soon, and today is the day when he will add his efforts to making that happen.

Read the rest on AO3.

How to Use Meal Scenes to Develop Characters, Relationships, and Your World

Worldbuilding can sound complicated, but why not make it a little more simple by focusing on food? It may be the domestic touch you need! NaNo Participant Lacey Pfalz talks about using meal scenes to develop your world and your characters.

There’s one thing that remains a universal human truth: we love food! While our perspectives on food might differ, people all across the globe gather together during mealtimes — and thus, mealtimes are made memorable.

Meal scenes can also help your story in a few key ways, especially if it’s fantasy, science fiction or historical fiction.

Meal Scenes for Worldbuilding

If we’re using food for worldbuilding purposes, does that mean we can say we’re worldcooking?

Just kidding! Worldbuilding, especially in historical fiction, science fiction, and fantasy, is an integral part of what you must do as a writer (In truth, it’s also important for writers from other genres, but we’re specializing in these three today).

Meal scenes can be an important part of the worldbuilding process. Food is intrinsically tied to a culture or a country, or even a small region. That’s why it’s important, when building your own world, to take time to figure out the bare minimum of what your characters will be eating.

Let’s do an example. Your world is fantasy, your kingdom set beside a wide river. Perhaps your capital city, where much of the action is located, is surrounded by wetland.

If this is the case, what types of food would likely grow there? Seafood, fished from the large river, might be your characters’ staple proteins, while rice might grow better than another grain because of your kingdom’s wetlands. Fruit, perhaps even coconuts, might be the sweet stuff your main character loves to devour.

Remember that your world directly affects what types of food your characters will be having: is there coffee in space? What about in Byzantine Turkey or your new riverside kingdom?

Shannon Chakraborty does a phenomenal job with this in her fantasy series The Daevabad Trilogy, which is set in the eighteenth century across the Middle East. Her first book, The City of Brass, is especially good at showcasing the often-fragrant dishes of the various cultures across this region of the world (some copies of the book even have a short list of recipes from the book that foodies can try whipping up for themselves).

While her book is set within the fantastical world of the Djinn, her food is based upon recipes that have been preserved for centuries.

There’s one small reminder with all of this: it’s important not to get too caught up in describing each dish so much that you end up taking the focus away from the characters in a meal scene. Meal scenes can be breaks from fast action, but they should also continue the plot.

Meal Scenes for Developing Characters & Relationships

Character development can be hard, especially if you have a handful of characters that you love! But in order to make your readers love them too, you have to show them interacting with the world around them.

That guy we love to hate? Maybe he’s a loner who has grown up eating by himself. Having him forced to sit and eat with a group of people who have known each other for years might be an awkward moment for him, but it helps readers to learn more about his own worldview — and it might just help get him out of his shell, or at least off the love-to-hate list.

Besides helping you develop a single character, writing meal scenes with some of your characters can also help readers learn more about the relationship between your characters.

Let’s say you have your main character, MC. MC leans over and steals a French fry from her best friend. There’s no issue, right? That’s because they like each other, and the best friend has likely eaten with MC before, and knows she enjoys stealing food from other people’s plates.

But when MC tries it again, this time with the guy sitting next to her, he whacks her hand to stop her from stealing. This sparks an argument that seems, at least to everyone else watching it, pointless, but readers will know from the rest of the story that they’re the enemies-to-lovers trope. This argument is just one of many before they finally acknowledge their feelings towards one another.

See how that worked? A meal scene wasn’t useless; it pulled the story along by giving readers another taste of the enemies-to-lovers trope that so many enjoy reading.

If you need a more visible example of how this can play out, try watching a movie like Pride & Prejudice, (the book is amazing, but I’m suggesting the movie as a visual aid). The movie does a great job showcasing just how different the members of the Bennet family are individually, how they act around each other, and how they act around company.

There’s often little action in meal scenes, so they’re not meant to be overused. The plot should also still be there — take the cringey proposal scene between Mr. Collins and Elizabeth in Pride & Prejudice, for example, which follows directly after a meal when the rest of her family abandons her. In this case, the plot (and Mr. Collins’ advances) ruin her meal.

Perhaps your meal scene is the much-needed respite in between battling fierce aliens for planet Earth, or the first time your main character’s enemy-to-lover has entered her home. Either way, meal scenes are an important way to immerse your readers in what kind of world they’re imagining as well as showcasing how your characters act and — more importantly — how they act around each other.

Lacey Pfalz is a travel journalist by day, hopeful author by night. She belongs to the class of graduates she dubs the Class of COVID-19, having graduated with a double major in history and writing at Wisconsin Lutheran College in 2020. Her writing passions include fantasy, science fiction and historical fiction (with a little bit of romance, of course!). As someone with a physical disability, it’s her dream to write a fantasy series featuring a main character like her. Header Image by Jack Sparrow

Quote

I think we broke the sofa.

Matt (Jason Priestley) to Angie (Cindy Sampson) after they fall through the floor of a Jazz club and discover a speakeasy.

Priceless as Angie retorts: “It’s not the first time I heard that!” Their chemistry is off the roof, as always! Whenever Jules is home, we love watching Private Eyes together. So, we’re a bit behind, but it’s a good thing: we take our time, we savour it. And it brings me so many fond memories of Toronto, until I can return to my adoptive city!

8 - tbh ive always wanted to try cosplaying patchouli, her nightgown looks very comfycosy

#unless you meant 28 as in tetsujin 28 the 2004 anime series which is very good and you should all watch #WAIT DID YOU MEAN 2? LIKE FAVORITE THEME?#i may be stupid.#anyway tho for 2 my faves include true administrator #idolatrize world #pure furies #wonderful heaven (but specifically the arrange from aocf)#now until the moment you die #if you're counting the music cds too then legend of hourai #hiroshige no 36 ~ neo super express #and higan retour ~ riverside view as well
