and the ocean said: the deeper you dive, the more you will find.
Excerpt from “Does Your Mother Know?” // Not to Be Reproduced by René Magritte
How To Reference Romantic Attraction Between Your Characters:
Person A’s inability to make eye-contact for long periods of time while Person B is constantly looking into A’s eyes. (extra points if Person A looks away and blushes)
Interest Copying (When interested in another person, humans tend to copy that person’s movements, stature, etc)
Cute nervous ticks while around one another (Dont just use blushing and stuttering! Other ticks exist! Shuffling, fiddling their thumbs, scratching the back of their neck, bouncing their leg, nervous laughter, picking at their palm, biting the inside of their cheek, etc!)
Remembering little details about one another (How person A never eats the beans on their plate, or person B’s favorite color, the color of their eyes, where their birthmark is, are they a morning or night person? Bonus points if they figure this information out by observation, not by being told!)
Constantly smiling or laughing around their love interest
Confessing their love (but only in Spanish)
Well said @girlandgeese. And thank you @writers-hq (Facebook page) for spreading positive thinking.

Jack: Be quiet, Yusei, I'm taking a picture!
Yusei: Why the hell should I be quiet for a picture?
Jack: The two are unrelated; I just don't want to hear you talk.

“Anyone who takes the time to be kind is beautiful.”
— Richelle E. Goodrich
There’s a trope known as “What You Are In The Dark”, and it’s really useful for showing your audience what kind of person a character is.
It’s essentially where a character, usually- but not always- the protagonist, is in a uniquely tempting situation. They have the opportunity to do something they want to do, something that’s selfish and usually, objectively wrong. They WANT to do it on some level, it’s a benefit, and there won’t be any negative consequences for them. And the cherry on top: Nobody who’s opinion they care about will ever know what they’ve done.
Sometimes, it’s something like not saving someone who was horrible to you. Sometimes it’s a little more active, like an alter ego they can use to express their desires. But it’s always, metaphorically speaking, “in the dark”. Nobody sees, or anyone that sees doesn’t know it’s them, or nobody they care about sees and knows it’s them.
What the character does in that situation tells the audience who that character really is. What they’re like under any facades or pleasantries they may put up. What you are in the dark defines you. You are at your most YOU when nobody is looking.
Usually, if the character is a hero, they’ll throw away this opportunity. They’ll face the little voice whispering, “No one will ever know,” and tell it, “I’LL know.” Because they know whatever they have the chance to do is wrong, and they know they’d be torn up about it. Even with no external restrictions, there’s a little guiding force telling them to do good, or at the very least, NOT do evil.
If the character takes the opportunity to do something bad when no one is looking, they’re not a good person.
And yes, this trope CAN be invoked accidentally.
Yusaku: I usually sit on the computer 12 hours a day, is that bad?
Ai: That can’t be comfortable. Try a chair.
Seto : Due to covid-19 I will not shake hands or hug anymore, you may kneel or bow down to me.

Reblog this and put in the tags what your day job/major/intended future major is (if you’re comfortable doing so, of course), and the main genre(s) you write! I’m curious.

Ooh, this is actually kinda a neat thing, because you can think of it as a checklist:
Who: Main character(s)
Why: Character goal or desire (stated)
Why: Character need (implied)
When: Inciting Incident
What: Means (that achieves the goal/need)
Where: Place A >> Place B
How: The Plan
Obstacle(s): antagonist or challenge
For example:
Who: Bilbo Baggins, a respectable hobbit of Hobbiton
Why: Treasure, wealth (stated)
Why: Adventure, self-respect (implied)
When: After supper
What: Quest
Where: Hobbiton >> The Lonely Mountain
How: A company of dwarves, a wizard, and an ancient map and key
Main antagonist(s): a dragon
Thus, in less than 100 words:
Bilbo Baggins is a respectable hobbit in Hobbiton, never making any trouble or having any adventures. But when a wizard and a company of dwarves invite themselves to dinner, Bilbo finds himself joining their quest from the shires of Hobbiton to the legendary Lonely Mountain, the home of a long lost treasure, and quite, possibly, a dragon.

The Anatomy of Story by John Truby is a really good book by the by, if anyone’s interested in this sort of thing.
