My friend lent me their inuyasha manga, and while I know nothing about inuyasha, it made me yearn for a simpler time, specifically those crazy long 90’s anime girl legs

I feel like a better rule than “Show, don’t tell” is “Express, don’t state”

Because a lot of people interpret “show don’t tell” as “use visuals instead of dialog” or “play out scenes instead of referencing/describing them” which is an arbitrary rule that doesn’t communicate well what the issue is.

What I mean by “Express, don’t state” is that the facts of your story should be conveyed through the story’s elements instead of stated in the story.

If a character is depressed or guilt ridden, it should be expressed through their attitude, their actions, their decisions, their reactions, etc. instead of stating “this character is depressed”. Whether it’s done through dialog or a visual of a rainy cloud doesn’t matter, because it’s still conveyed directly to the audience instead of being evident in the text itself.

In fact, sometimes having a character describe a scene or a diagnosis or whatever using dialog can express a lot more than showing the scene itself.

since a new pokemon game and starters were announced where is that picture from when bw was announced and people tried to guess what oshawott’s shadow looked like and they just drew some green duck with with a giant acorn, it’s tradition to always bring that back

I wanna live in a little quaint cottage that backs up to a big old forest full of birds and deer and mystery and i want to dry my laundry outside when its sunny and tend to my garden when its foggy and sit inside by the fire and write when its rainy

actually that’s a super genius tip. i never thought of that. boost!!

I really miss bap :,
