New Tier updates, Early Access,Comics, Tutorials and more!

Overall, this year I plan to focus on comics and studying, thus making a lot of content related to that. I really want to get my story/characters out there, and I have a lot to learn if I’m gonna get a job in this industry, might as well turn my studies into something I can share with plp.

I’m still going to be doing illustrations of course, so don’t worry about that :)

Any amount of support is greatly appreciated, thank you for keeping me in business! :D

some mini collections of tips for writers

(based on things that yours truly notices as an editor-in-training. This list is in no way complete, and will probably be added to as I continue to find repeated mistakes) 

Dialogue

  1. Use beats in your dialogue to break it up. Even “said” can make a very effective beat between lines. 
  2. (No beats: “It’s not lethal. Just highly dangerous with a good chance of being mutilated.” // Beats: “It’s not lethal,” he said. “Just highly dangerous with a good chance of being mutilated.”)
  3. Note how the break allows a bit of a pause for ~dramatic effect 
  4. thinking of dialogue, use punctuation and distinct speech patterns! “Life, uh, finds a way.” is an iconic line anyway, but Jeff Goldblum’s signature verbal tic gives it character. 
  5. It’s okay if characters stutter. Don’t let the condemnation of stuttering characters as “cringey” in fanfic put you off. (and on that note, fuck cringe culture. Seriously. It saps all the fun out of creativity and fun is important.)
  6. Start! A! New! Line! Whenever! Someone! New! Speaks!!
  7. DO NOT FEAR THE WORD “SAID” 

Setting & Blocking

  1.  Use the landscape and settings around your character, and always, always remember a scene’s blocking. Where is everything in relation to your characters? Have you left someone holding a coffee cup for the last three scenes? Did you lose a character somewhere along the way? 
  2. using the contents of a scene is also great for fight sequences. 
  3. Similarly, large character casts are hard to keep track of so don’t be afraid to break them up. Sending someone off somewhere else can create some nifty little subplots. 
  4. Keep a personal note of how time passes. Trust me, it’s incredibly helpful to you as a writer and also for future readers. 

Characters

  1. Character growth does not have to be positive. Sometimes characters fail or suffer or get their motivations twisted up, and they finish the book as a villain rather than a hero. 
  2. All that matters is that a character changes throughout the plot in a way that readers can see; the sort of change they go through is entirely up to you. 
  3. scrap the idea that someone has to deserve a redemption arc. They probably don’t deserve it, which is the whole point. So don’t be afraid to make your villains seem completely irredeemable. 
  4. and you don’t need to redeem your antagonists in order to make them complex, sympathetic villains, anyway. Sometimes people get so stuck in their beliefs that they can’t see another way and it goes too far. Not everyone comes back from that. 
  5. Also, motivations and goals can absolutely change. That’s okay. You just need to have something that drives your character so that your readers are rooting for them. 
  6. Protagonists don’t need to be heroic. How you define the protagonists and antagonists in your story is based entirely on the morality in your story-world, NOT the moral ideas in the real world. What counts as a complex protagonist in a world torn apart by biological warfare will be very different than one living in our world. 

Prose & Grammar

  1. simple prose is just fine and you don’t need to fluff it up for pretty quotes.
  2. Remember to vary your sentence structures and length. Start smaller and build it up, drawing your reader’s attention. 
  3. “And” and “But” are very valid sentence starters that are great for communicating the tone of internal narrative. You’re allowed to tweak grammar if that’s helpful for telling the story, it just needs to be accessible. Test out what you’ve written on other people. 
  4. Check that your tenses are consistent!!

Let’s be real, Raihan definitely wants in on the family dynamic between Milo, Nessa and Kabu - but would never admit it in a million years.

Kabu acts like a dad and has practically adopted Milo and Nessa? The younger two can go to him and ask for advice or if they just want to share something? Kabu, on his part, celebrates their birthdays and checks up on them?

Pshhh- it’s not like Raihan needs any of that. No way. He doesn’t need some grumpy old man constantly looking over his shoulder. He can take care of himself, thank you very much - and if he were being completely honest, he’d have to admit that Kabu’s perceptiveness unsettles him a little bit.

But… there’s no way the old guy can see through him, right?

Raihan’s sure he veils his insecurity well enough with all his bravado - so when he gets an invitation from the Motostoke Gym Leader to meet up so Raihan can help him with his phone - just moments after the younger man posted a tweet when he was having a really bad day…

That was just coincidence, right?

Right. Definitely, yeah. Just a coincidence.

And for the record, Raihan only accepted the invitation because he felt sorry for the old coot.

hehe i love leon~ hop’s a qt too, like a lil energetic brother in law-ahem. 

leon

E   :   EMBRACE.   does your muse like hugs? what are their hugs like?

They’re very warm, just like his charizard. When he wraps his s/o in his arms, it’s like jumping into a fire. He gets hot real fast. He’s also the person who’ll run up to someone and give them a running hug so be careful if you’re holding something. You could say he gets lost in your arms…

D has already been done ^^

A   :   AFFECTION.   how does your muse show affection?

With his actions. While Leon isn’t bad with words, far from it, he’s incredibly affection with physical touch. Especially headpats, considering his height. When it comes to showing affection, he’s teases a lot as well. Bending down to kiss you only to pull away at the last second, hiding his gifts from you, etc etc.

hop

E   :   EMBRACE.   does your muse like hugs? what are their hugs like? 

Hop’s hugs are enthusiastic, to say the least. He may miss his target sometimes (his hands going…somewhere over than around your waist), but he tries. He really, really wants to hug you, a lot. So it’s somewhat of a greeting that Hop has when he sees you that he has to hug you. It’s okay though; his hugs are a lot like his brothers, warm and full oflove. 

D   :   DATE.   what is your muse’s ideal date? where / who with / etc?

The Ferris Wheel in Wyndon. He is surprisingly romantic and being alone with his s/o up in the air together makes his heart face. He isn’t into big dates and will probably like simple stuff like camping together or just cloud watching. Cuddling up with Wooloos is cute as well. Basically, anything that gives him privacy with his s/o.

A   :   AFFECTION.   how does your muse show affection?

A bit of everything. You want sugary sweet, but totally dorky words? You got it. You want hand holding and surprise kisses out of nowhere? Hop’s got your back. He’s always trying to find new ways to be affectionate and is constantly spicing things up for the both of you.

Autumn Pokemon Sword and Shield  Headcanons:

Milo:

- Loves watching the leaves change colors. Especially fond of red leaves.

- Allergies are worse for him this time of year.

- Makes leaf piles and plays in them with his pokemon

- Loves all fall food because they’re hearty.

- Tries his hand at baking every year with mixed results. His cookies are all misshapen, but they’re made with love.

- Watching the sunset over his village takes his breath away.

- At night, he enjoys watching the stars while wrapped in a patchy quilt blanket and sipping his bedtime tea.

Leon:

- Loves Autumn because he has more downtime

- The Galar region is beautiful this time of year, so he visits a few places to admire the surroundings.

-With his new downtime, he goes all out and makes up for lost time with Hop.

- He keeps an Autumn Bucket list for all of their activities.

- He makes Hop take a picture next to a big pumpkin every year because he loves his lil bro and can’t believe how big he’s gotten.

-Truly a sucker for all things Autumn- apple bobbing, corn mazes…All of that stuff.

- L a y e r s. He dresses to the 9′s for fall.
