How To Be Cute

It's been a while since I have noted ideas for more accurate Fae characters. And yes, you read the title right. I am giving you ideas for a realistic, more-than-meets-the-eye, cute character. Or use it for yourself I don't care, go nuts.

A little more quiet. Cute is not loud. Cute is not always chaotic. Cute is cute even if they just sit on a corner and minding their own business, be it staring at the plants on the sidewalk or gazing at the stars. Cute has glints of innocence in their eyes and is cute even just staring at you.

More than words. If I hear one more person mispronouncing so many words intentionally just to sound cute I may explode. But cute is caring. So voice your concerns. Say those small questions. Let out those naive concerns without screaming them out.

Not mean. Cute is more than pouts. Cute is more than a small voice screaming into your ear. Cute is caring. Cute is nice. Cute is nice to everyone and will try to correct themselves when they are hating. Cute has a heart and they are not afraid to use it. Cute is not rash and tries their best to never say a dirty word, not because they think it's bad, either they are just not aware of the word, they think it's unnecessary, or both.

Cozy. Let out those plush animals. Warm blanket. Cup of chocolate. Soothing music. ASMR (Well if it suits your fancy). Do this without the intention of showing off. Have a "protocol" ready when you get broken-hearted. Just do it for yourself. Do it alone. Enjoy time alone. Play with pets. Make sure you're always comfortable (not at the expense of others though). Take a break from people if you need to. That is self-care. Self-care is cute.

Gently Unmasked. Tears are not weak and as you don't overdo them, you're fine. When you feel touched by something, show it. If you find something adorable, show it. But I know we as a society has been raised not allowing ourselves to show unmasked/unfiltered emotions in public until it's already a known universal collective experience. Start when you are alone, and keep doing it until it becomes natural to you.

Innocent. Let yourself be oblivious. It's fine if you don't get that someone is flirting you. It's fine if you don't get that innuendo. It's fine if you are what everyone is afraid of, single. It doesn't matter cause you know why? You are happy with life anyway. Contented with friends. Family. Animals, what have you. You live a cozy life, why desire so much for flirting and innuendos from other people?

Contented. Feel enough. Cute does not share the adult desire of wanting everything. Cute is not greedy. Cute shares, even. Cute knows does what they can with what they have and is happy enough about it. Cute doesn't need to envy because they are already happy, and looking forward with another day, and you can see it in the joy and hope in their eyes.

Has an inner child. Do not deny your inner child. Find the most adorable things you can find in life and surround yourself with them (yes it includes bugs if you find bugs interesting). Let your interests wonder. Learn about the things you like. Pursue with your heart.

Wholesome. Cute appreciates wholesome. It's not exclusive though. When cute sees unfamiliar things and innuendos, they are just confused, but never shows ick about it.

Nice beyond cues. Cute doesn't need a cue to be nice. They are decent beyond social cues, and they are kind just because. They do nice things from the heart. And they don't care about the public norm because they are not so aware of it.

Hoping. Hope and innocence run side by side. Once you learn to have hopes you can immediately trigger your innocence. Not everything has to be sad and tragic. Not everyone will hurt you. Not everything you're going to do is going to fail.

Uses ways to convey emotions through messages, but never overdoes it. The only things in emojis that you can use most times are 🥺 and the smiling version of it. Maybe some 🤣 too. The rest is emoticons or kaomojis. But do not overdo them, as it looks unnatural.

Soft but not whiny. Cute is soft and fragile, but doesn't whine all the time. It just minds its own business while looking very "smol" about it. Whining is noisy. Noisy is not cute.

Modestly styled. There's a fine line between being "innocent cute" and "adult cute". We are talking about innocent cute here. Don't show so much skin. Wear cozy and modest clothing. Any color would do, even black, as long as it gives an innocent vibe to your being. Feel yourself in soft fabric shirts and pants/skirts. Wear that adorable little hair ornament you have. Show the flowiness/softness of your hair. Keep the makeup light.

Hygge. Whether or not you know the word for it, enjoying your life within the simple and cozy things and spending time with those you love and those you appreciate is a good thing. It will allow you to feel wholesome and therefore act nicely with the world. Nice is cute.

For me, cute is sctually more of a vibe and personality than anything. The style is just a plus. Also, cute is not and will never be limited to skinny. Skinny does not equal cute and never will, and I will bludgeon whoever says otherwise. Cute is not something with a specific style that you have to do even when you don't like said style. And cute as a personality doesn't revolve around clothing, trinkets, or body types.

I might add more here if I ever remember any else, but for now this will be my list. Enjoy and use as you will.

I haven't posted in awhile, but I heard the word Injury and liked the cadence of the word. There's an idiom called Insult to Injury and this is how this illustration came. I thought of it as potential visual novel cover or poster. But I'm truly a terrible writer. So I hope my art can be a spark towards your storytelling.

I want a story with a group on a quest and one of them is a traitor and the group prays/asks for help from the *mysterious possible diety* thats helping them and just "please give us a sign!"

And so they find "K I L L I A N" written on a wall,

So naturally they think "Omg! It's Killian! He's the traitor!"

But it actually says "Kill - Ian" because Ian's the traitor

And the Diety or ghost or whatever is like 'shit maybe I shouldn't have written in all caps'

#No i don't know why they wouldn't put Ian did it #or something like that #I'm tired #this is what i came up with #groupofidiots #obliviousadventurers #mysterioushelpfulghost #maybe the ghost doesn't know good English #funny #writingprompts #storyideas

The second angel OC backstory!

She as a kid is the oldest of four siblings, her mother, who had hopes and dreams when she was younger, hates them all and is pretty much a ghost parent. She just paid the rent so they could survive, but her mom would bring over men and party because she was forced to give up her hopes which made her extremely angry and hateful. Her father passed away when she was younger because he was basically like a well off guy who had a stable job but was a piece of shit. He used to drink and mess around with women because he knew his wife wouldn’t leave him. So the wife (her mom) would go (for a lack of better words) mentally insane because 1. she had to give up her dreams 2. for a piece of literal trash 3. she was only 20. So once the oc’s dad died, her mom was extremely happy and would basically do what he did, and she BARELY spent money on her kids. The oc had to pretty much be the mom to her siblings. she would protect them, take care of them, love them, do everything she could to hide the pain from them. She never really believed in God, because she had no reason to, but then she was just desperate for some sort of hope. Something to keep her alive. Then, the angel Raphael heard her. He saw her and strengthened her prayer to God. Since God loves a beautiful story, she was pretty much perfect. God and Raphael observed her. She never had her prayers answered, at least not in the way she wanted. After her last prayer, she decided that nobody was coming to save her. She loved her siblings but she just couldn’t anymore. She walked to a bridge over water and she decided to just let go. When she did, she appeared before Raphael and God. She was so angry at first. She was so angry that they knew what was going on and they just let it happen. She hated them, she was so enraged that they let her siblings suffer, she’s angry they exist and yet don’t interfere- at the beginning she’s just praying to nothing expecting no one to reply and suddenly she sees there were people on the other side, they just didn’t pick up the phone. She was also so angry at herself for leaving her siblings behind. She begged them to let her back into earth, she knew that her siblings couldn’t survive on their own, they needed her. so they offered to let her back onto earth, but for a price. She becomes the angel that will pick up the phone. She becomes Heaven’s karma.

The whole point of this backstory would make her story to go on where she also has to realize that karma will come, but not ideally as fate and death is complicated. Life needs both good and bad as it’s a huge and chaotic mess.

The story will also stay the same where she interacts with people with very different paths in life, where they feel the same kinds of way about her that she felt about God and Raphael. However, in this plot, it will also include her siblings.

Meet Cutes

In a music store, two strangers end up playing the same instrument and start an impromptu duet.

During a city-wide scavenger hunt, two competitors team up by chance when they're both looking for the same item.

In a language class, two people partner up to practice conversational skills. As they fumble through words and phrases, they find that the language of love is universal and needs no translation.

In a cooking class, two strangers end up sharing a kitchen station. While cooking together, they discover they have similar tastes, not just in food but also in life.

On a rainy day, a person shares their umbrella with a stranger caught in the rain. They find refuge in a nearby café and end up spending the entire afternoon chatting, laughing, and getting to know each other.

At an open mic night, two performers are scheduled to play back-to-back. They have picked the same song, and the crowd insists they perform a duet.

Two people mistakenly board the wrong bus and find themselves lost in an unfamiliar part of town. They navigate together, and in the process, they also find something they didn't know they were looking for - love.

In an art museum, two strangers find themselves captivated by the same painting. They end up touring the entire museum together, sharing interpretations and discussing their favorite artists.

Both characters end up on the rooftop of a building seeking some peace and quiet. They share the stunning city view and strike up a conversation that goes from city life to their dreams and aspirations.

On a beach vacation, one of the characters doodles something in the sand, and the other character spots it and adds a playful message in response. This sand-sculpting exchange becomes a delightful tradition during their stay.

The way Unrequited past life lover has a chokehold on me rn-

Like just hear me out here, okay?

"I know you from another life, we're meant to be together, I just know it." X "I couldn't turn you down before, but seeing as I can't escape this, I'm going to convince you I hate you now so I don't have to."

Oddly specific, but I can't be the only one here, right?
