Homeless Starters

“Can I stay at your place?”

“My parents kicked me out.”

“There’s nowhere to go when it’s cold.”

“Nobody cares about people like us.”

“Do you have anywhere to sleep tonight?”

“What have you been eating?”

“I’d kill for a hot shower.”

“Fucking spikes on the fucking benches. As if that’ll solve anything.”

“It’s not so bad in the summer. Winter’s when it gets tricky.”

“I’m not your charity case.”

“I don’t have anywhere else to go.”

“Believe me, I don’t want to be here either.”

“The police chased us out of the last good place we found. Everyone’s scattered now.”

“Running away is way more romantic in the movies.”

“I can’t go home.”

“Your steps are the only one with an awning. Either I sleep here or in the rain.”

“Come inside. I won’t let you freeze out there.”

“This isn’t living. It’s surviving.”

“One day when I’m rich and famous I’ll look back at this time in my life and laugh. Or I’ll die tomorrow. One or the other.”

Angst Starters

“I never want to see you again.”

“You ruined my life!”

“I wish I could just disappear.”

“I couldn’t save anyone.”

“I’m ugly, inside and out.”

“You’d throw away everything we had together just like that?”

“I’m angry all the time and I don’t know how to make it stop.”

“I just wanted to be happy. Just once. Is that too much to ask?”

“This is the last time we can meet like this.”

“Forget about me.”

“I don’t know what to do anymore.”

“What I’ve lost can’t be replaced. Not ever.”

“You never loved me.”

“There’s something broken inside of me.”

“I don’t want to hurt anymore.”

“I’m sorry for your loss.”

“Don’t compare your pain to mine. You know nothing.”

“I don’t even know who you are anymore.”

“You always come to me with your problems but every time I ask for your help suddenly you’re too busy.”

“It’s not my fault!”

“I betrayed your trust. I’m sorry.”

“Take back what you said.”

“No more lies.”

“If you keep pushing people away you’ll end up all alone.”

“Don’t pretend to be the victim here!”

“I hope you’re happy.”

“Heroes don’t live long.”

“I won’t be your dirty secret.”

“I can feel myself dying.”

“Don’t give up yet.”

“They’re all gone.”

disappointment starters

“I thought you of all people would be different.” “This was supposed to be a fun day. You always ruin everything.” “Our flight’s been cancelled… there goes our holiday.” “I’m not angry. I’m disappointed.” “I know you didn’t do it on purpose, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be disappointed.” “I can’t believe this. You always turn everything into such a disaster!” “I’m not disappointed in you, I’m disappointed in the situation…” “I can’t believe this is happening. Can nothing ever go right?!” “I’m so sorry to let you down. I know you were looking forward to this.” “You always let me down. You’re so unreliable.” “I’d expected a lot more from you.” “Stop being so selfish! You’re ruining everything for everyone.” “You’re such a disappointment to the family.” “I’m sorry to be such a disappointment. I know you expected more of me.” “That movie was so disappointing.” “Why is everything in life actually so disappointing? You get yourself excited every time, only to be let down, time and time again.” “You’re not disappointing! Just… surprising.” “I thought you cared about me. Someone who cares about someone else doesn’t let them down like you just did.” “You could’ve tried harder!” ”I’m not going to lie… I am disappointed.” “No no! You’re great, but the sex was just really disappointing.” “Honestly, you’re the biggest disappointment of my life.” “You weren’t there for me when I needed you. Why do you expect me to be here for you now you need me?” “I had higher expectations of this.” “I had higher expectations of you.”

Remember that you are responsible for your muse’s actions. You can’t say “it is what the character would do” or “I have no control over them”. For better or worse you chose this muse. You knew what they were like from the beginning and you choose how and when to interact with others. Dark topics are fine. Evil muses are fine. Just don’t try to put the responsibility on a fictional character that, again, you chose to write. You’re not possessed by your muse. Take responsibility for when you hurt people, because that’s you. Take credit for the things you write well, because that’s you. Just something to keep in mind.

What is a trope you’ve always wanted to subvert?

Easy Meme for a Burnt Out Mun

I always try to subvert the trope where a character is only neurodivergent coded to make them seem inhuman. The way I write Cole, his perspective on the world is colored by his spirithood but his autism is entirely human. As he gets more human after his personal quest I exaggerate his autistic traits more rather than less. This is very important to me because I’m autistic and I know that my brain is no less human than anyone else’s. I’m a whole person with all of my autistic traits, and so is Cole.

Cole describes the boy who died in the White Spire as “the real Cole” and calls physically manifesting himself “making himself real”. I’d love to explore how Cole views “reality” and “unreality” in relation to the Fade, the physical world, and his own identity.
