Oh, to be a tiny mermaid to escape the heat
Joseph Michael GandyĀ (English, 1771--1843)
Ways That Fear Can Show Up (Without Saying āFearā)
When it creeps: ⢠Foreboding ā the air feels wrong before anything actually happens. ⢠Ominousness ā silence that feels almost... purposeful. ⢠Misgiving ā your instincts tugging at your sleeve, whispering, "Don't."
When it hits fast: ⢠Shock ā your brain blanks ⢠Startledā your heart slams, you inhale ⢠Panic ā thoughts fracture; your instincts beg for escape
When it lingers: ⢠Tension ā jaw locked, shoulders up near your ears. ⢠Anxiety ā background noise that lingers in every thought ⢠Dread ā knowing something bad is coming and having to wait for it.
When it turns physical: ⢠Shivers ā cold crawling up the spine. ⢠Sweat, dilated pupils, skin gone pale ā your own body betrays you. ⢠Weakness ā knees like jelly, grip unreliable.
When it overwhelms: ⢠Terror ā too big to think around. ⢠Horror ā something has gone wrong. ⢠Paralysis ā body refusing orders.
When it distorts reality: ⢠Paranoia ā patterns where there are none. ⢠Suspicion ā every sound feels intentional. ⢠Unease ā the sense of being watched without proof.

IāM IN THE MIDST OF WRITING A BOOK WHERE HAS THIS POST BEEN ALL MY LIFE
Reblog to save a life
By Ane Holden Eliassen
from George Vās diary
āYoung Prince George of Wales is said to be covered with tattooings of mermaids and dolphinsā and George wrote underneath this cut out from a newspaper: āHow the devil do they know?ā
In 1881, a 16-year-old Prince George and his older brother, Prince Albert Victor, visited Japan as naval cadets aboard the HMSĀ Bacchante. Despite the Meiji government having officially banned tattooing for its own citizens, foreign dignitaries were permitted to meet local master craftsmen. During the trip, George got not one but two tattoos:
The Dragon: Prince George met with a master tattooist (believed to be Karakusa Gonta) in Tokyo. In his personal diaries, George described the ink as a "large dragon in blue and red writhing all down the arm," a process that took roughly three hours.Ā
The Tiger: Later in the same trip, George visited Kyoto and received a tiger on his opposite arm to complete a symbolic representation of the East and the West. His brother Albert Victor chose a dancing crane instead.
King George V's first cousin and lookalike,Ā Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, also had a large traditional Japanese dragon tattooed on his forearm. Nicholas received his during a state visit to Japan in 1891, a meticulous design with yellow horns and a red belly that required seven hours of work.
Nicholas described the experience in his diary:
April 16, Tuesday. I awoke to a wonderful day, and the shore was irresistibly inviting. The streets and houses of Nagasaki make an exceptionally pleasant impression: everything is spotlessly clean and tidy, and it is a pleasure to enter their homes. The Japanese people, both men and women, are so warm and welcoming. We returned to the frigate around five o'clock for tea. After dinner, I decided to have a dragon tattooed on my right arm. It took exactly seven hoursāfrom 9 p.m. until 4 a.m. Once is quite enough of that sort of pleasure to cure one of any desire to repeat it! The dragon turned out splendidly, and my arm did not hurt at all.
Dragons were a popular subject among Japanese ink-painters and tattooists. Said to control thunder and rain, they were also a powerfulĀ symbol of the East, and often paired with a prowling tiger representing the West.
The matching nature of their tattoos became a famous anecdote highlighting the close cultural and familial ties between the British and Russian royal families before World WarĀ I. Read more here.

How to Fix Underwriting
1. Slow down at emotionally important moments.
Big emotions need space to land. If a scene feels rushed, pause the plot briefly to show how the moment affects the character.
2. Add reactions, not explanations.
Instead of explaining what a character feels, show it through physical responses, hesitation, or small actions that reveal emotion naturally.
3. Ground every scene in the senses.
If a scene feels thin, add one or two sensory detailsāsound, texture, smell, or temperatureāto make the moment feel lived-in.
4. Let thoughts interrupt action.
A line of internal thought can deepen a scene without slowing it too much. Thoughts show stakes, fear, longing, or conflict beneath the action.
5. Expand consequences, not events.
You donāt need more things to happenāyou need to show what matters. Focus on how events change relationships, decisions, or self-perception.
6. Strengthen setting where emotion peaks.
The environment should echo or contrast the emotion of the scene. Setting is not decorationāitās emotional reinforcement.
7. Add specific details instead of general ones.
Underwriting often relies on vague language. Swap āthey arguedā for one sharp line of dialogue or a specific breaking point.
8. Let dialogue breathe.
Short dialogue exchanges without pauses can feel flat. Add beatsāsilence, gestures, interruptionsāto give the conversation weight.
9. Show transitions between scenes.
If scenes jump too quickly, readers feel disoriented. A brief transition helps establish time, mood, and emotional continuity.
10. Clarify stakes early in the scene.
If readers donāt know what can be lost, scenes feel empty. Make sure the character wants something specific and fears losing it.
11. Use the āwhat are they feelingĀ right now?ā check.
After each major beat, ask what emotion is dominant in that moment. If itās missing on the page, the scene is likely underwritten.
12. Expand scenes that feel ātoo clean.ā
If a scene resolves too neatly or quickly, it probably needs more tension. Messy emotions and unresolved feelings add depth.

Underused Microexpressions for Attraction
Weāve done lip biting to death... Letās evolve.
⢠Eyes flicking to someoneās mouth mid-sentence ⢠Forgetting what they were about to say ⢠Leaning in unconsciously ⢠Mirroring posture without realizing ⢠Smiling at something that wasnāt that funny ⢠Adjusting hair or clothes when the other person enters ⢠Noticing and remembering details no one else bothers to ⢠A pause before pulling their hand away ⢠Shoulders softening ⢠Looking away first and then back again ⢠Swallowing before speaking ⢠Voice lowering slightly ⢠Turning their body fully toward the other person ⢠A delayed reaction to a touch
