don't mind me

Says he's vers, but is actually a power bottom with a thing for service tops.

Hates threesomes because he wants to be center of attention.

Gives expert level head because getting his chrome voicebox got rid of his gag reflex.

Gets a back, sack & crack wax every week without fail.

Claims to hate c20th musicals, but knows all the words to Meet Me in St Louis because you've heard him sing it in the shower.

Secretly glad Johnny wasn't into dudes because he didn't want that kind of competition when it came to divvying up the Samurai groupies.

Wears a thong because he thinks his ass looks flat in boxers.

Loves drag, wishes he'd been brave enough to try it before he was famous, thinks the media would call him a joke if he did it now.

Thinks gym bro gays are posers, does not see the irony of a billionaire rockerboy saying this.

Hates being called "Daddy" but loves being referred to as a "silver fox."

Got mistaken for a soft butch drag king at a gay bar once and never went back.

Wishes he was more of a Springsteen than a Jagger.

Thinks rigid gender roles are a corpo psyop.

Doesn't believe in twink death.

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 details—sound, texture, smell, or temperature—to 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 don’t need more things to happen—you 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 decoration—it’s emotional reinforcement.

7. Add specific details instead of general ones.

Underwriting often relies on vague language. Swap “they argued” for one sharp line of dialogue or a specific breaking point.

8. Let dialogue breathe.

Short dialogue exchanges without pauses can feel flat. Add beats—silence, gestures, interruptions—to 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 don’t know what can be lost, scenes feel empty. Make sure the character wants something specific and fears losing it.

11. Use the “what are they feeling right now?” check.

After each major beat, ask what emotion is dominant in that moment. If it’s missing on the page, the scene is likely underwritten.

12. Expand scenes that feel “too clean.”

but then I realised that same challenge would be infinitely more funny with folks who have atypical or horror OCs
