time to do some light research for a single throwaway line in my fanfiction *4 hours and 34 wikipedia articles later* jesus christ american imperialism is the source of all the world's evil

i DO believe that a good writer can make mischaracterization work. oh there's a character who doesn't normally cry? figure it out!! disect the character. make the situation cryable for them. make that character cry ugly tears even if it goes against their very nature. YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK!!!

A great piece of advice I've seen is "Don't fixate about what the character would never do. Think about the circumstances that would drive them to do this, even if they wouldn't normally."

Best advice ever!

such insolence... guards? seize her! ...no. stop. not like that. you are doing it gay. why are you seizing her gay style

It's a pain in the ass, but it's my pain in the ass!

To all my writer friends who are on the struggle bus/suffering from writer's block/just dealing with life stuff right now!

“Holy shit two cakes,” I mutter to myself as I do fucking anything these days, this post was a godsend
