i’m seeing a lot of people reblogging suicide hotlines and this is just a reminder that this is a suicide help line that works like a text-based instant messenger for people who may need to talk to someone but have trouble/are uncomfortable making phone calls
Never don’t reblog this. There are so many people who have such bad anxiety about phone calls. This can save so many lives

obligatory reblog if you were here when ranboo arrived in the uk, and are here now that he’s going home
despite everything it’s still you
something wonderful about fanfic is the use of dramatic irony.
for example in superhero aus 99% of the time the reader is immediately aware of the identity of the hero despite the character not knowing. in published fiction authors are always focused on keeping the identities a secret for the big reveal.
in fanfic, most authors realize that it’s inevitable that reads will figure out identities very quickly, and instead use it to create dramatic irony which i love.

idk how this "prev tags" nonsense got started but i promise you i am not following a breadcrumb trail to find out what those tags were. if they're that funny then share them with the class in a reblog like a normal clown this isn't twitter
There are angry Tumblr users screaming their tags were stolen. I have been here for a fricking DECADE and this is the first time I've had to say #notmytags. #notmypost.
This is a big reason for Tumblr reblogs falling. Twitter, instagram users migrants think REBLOGS ARE SAME AS REPOSTING. THAT USING OG TAGS IS STEALING.
wow can't believe i just made this meme and already got to use it twice
we talk in the tags and then the tags go to peer review and if they're deemed Good Content somebody ELSE will put them in a reblog and publish them
replies also go to peer review and get added to the main post if they pass the board
How could you leave this in the tags, etc.
had to go through peer review. the applicant thanks the board for its approval
please learn the lay of the land

“It’s because you’re in that horrific form, dingus. Humans aren’t supposed to see that shit,” snorted the demon, tail flicking.

story outlining methods, pt. 1:
take off your pants!! (“take off your pants!: outline your books for faster, better writing” by libbie hawker)
this outline starts with a character — specifically their biggest flaw — and leads to five points that will make up the core of your story. it’s best for plots and subplots that focus on overcoming the flaw!
this outline doesn’t just have to be used for coming of age novels. it is just as important in your dystopian, fantasy, or thriller novels that the main character learns something or has changed by the end.
STEP ONE: think about your character
- your main character — what is their name, and what are their important features?
- what are your character’s flaws? what about their FATAL flaw? ex: hubris, overconfidence, stubbornness, etc.
STEP TWO: think about the end of the story
- the story (whether the main plot, a subplot, or a facet of the main plot) is the journey lead to overcome the flaw. now that you know the character’s flaw, you know what lesson they need to learn.
- the end of the story = the flaw mastered, the lesson learned.
STEP THREE: think about the external goal
- the external goal is the plot, the outer motivation to push the character to the end of the story where the goal is mastered. if you remember my post on quests, you know that a quest has two reasons to be there: the external factor (shrek saving fiona for his swamp), and the real reason (the lesson learned)
- the external goal should provide a chance for the character to recognize their flaw and begin to change. how does your plot tie into their character development?
STEP FOUR: think about the antagonist
- thinking about the external goal should reveal who the antagonist is. the antagonist should want to achieve the same goal or a goal that impedes with the protagonist’s goal. the antagonist should be the biggest obstacle to the character.
STEP FIVE: think about the ally/allies
- the character(s) that is capable of forcing the protagonist down the correct path. where your protagonist most likely will resist changing and confronting their flaw, the ally will help force them to do so anyway.
STEP SIX: think about the theme
- so what’s the point of your book? if you are struggling to boil it down to one sentence, you might want to think about it a little longer. this is what keeps the story feeling coherent. what are you trying to tell us?
STEP SEVEN: think about the plot
- each main plot element should somehow relate to the core of the book, aka the character’s development in overcoming their flaw
- OPENING SCENE - set the stage. address the flaw or the theme
- INCITING EVENT - what forces the character out of their everyday life and into the story?
- REALIZING EXTERNAL GOAL - what makes the character begin seeking their goal?
- DISPLAY OF FLAW - if the character’s flaw hasn’t been made blatantly clear, now is the time. make it known to the reader.
- DRIVE FOR GOAL - what is your character’s first attempt to reach their goal?
- ANTAGONIST REVEAL - how do you first show your antagonist’s opposition to your character?
- FIRST THWART - what happens to your character that keeps them from reaching their goal?
- REVISIT FLAW - show the character’s flaw again, even if they themselves aren’t aware of it yet.
- ANTAGONIST ATTACKS - what does the antagonist do that makes things worse?
- SECOND THWART - where your character fails most likely due to the attack
- CHANGED GOAL - the character finds a new goal or focuses on the external goal in a different way
- ALLY ATTACKS - what does the ally do to force the character to see the flaw?
- AWAKENING - the character knows what they must do to reach the external goal. how will you show that the character has also awakened to their flaw? how will you show them changing?
- BATTLE - the final showdown with the antagonist!
- DEATH - the character’s flaw dies here. how will you show that the character truly is different now?
- OUTCOME - show whether the character won or lost the external goal, reveal the theme of the story.
naturally, you don’t have to follow that outline exactly, but it can be a good place to start ;)

How To Reference Romantic Attraction Between Your Characters:
- Person A’s inability to make eye-contact for long periods of time while Person B is constantly looking into A’s eyes. (extra points if Person A looks away and blushes)
- Interest Copying (When interested in another person, humans tend to copy that person’s movements, stature, etc)
- Cute nervous ticks while around one another (Dont just use blushing and stuttering! Other ticks exist! Shuffling, fiddling their thumbs, scratching the back of their neck, bouncing their leg, nervous laughter, picking at their palm, biting the inside of their cheek, etc!)
- Remembering little details about one another (How person A never eats the beans on their plate, or person B’s favorite color, the color of their eyes, where their birthmark is, are they a morning or night person? Bonus points if they figure this information out by observation, not by being told!)
- Constantly smiling or laughing around their love interest
- Confessing their love (but only in Spanish)
