Someone may have a special interest in a show, but instead of that meaning that they will talk about that show often, it may mean they watch that show extremely frequently.

He didn't do it.

The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.

Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?

I didn't look into the case. If what you say is true, that's actually even worse than I thought.

give that knife/sword fight survivor nerve damage. give the character who was shot in the gut a stoma. give that fire survivor lung damage and an oxygen cannula. give that leg injury survivor a cane. give that starvation survivor gastroparesis. give that spinal injury survivor a manual chair or powerchair.

Earbuds? You're being rude. Quiet time? You're being rude? Turning the volume down? You're being rude. Being uncomfortable at the restaurant because you can't hear anyone besides your closest neighbors? Come on, it's not that bad. Too many people? No such thing. Too loud? You're exaggerating, stop covering your ears. Too hot? What did you expect, it's summer, now go to the beach for the hundredth time. What do you mean you don't smell that? You're not trying. What do you mean things smell weird here? What do you mean the dish tastes funny? I just added a dash of that thing you hate, you can't possibly notice. Yes, we're going somewhere that's going to exhaust you, and no, you can't take your car to go home when it gets too much. Yes, we're absolutely going to judge the ways you cope, including if it's harmless and scholarly.

Of course, you're not going to be allowed to explain a single thing or communicate in any way other than enthusiasm about whatever unpleasant activity I'm forcing on you. No one cares about your opinion. You're the minority here, deal with it.

If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results: 

What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)

What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)

What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)

Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory) 

What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.) 

Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)

Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)

Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)

What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.) 

The same is true of angels, if one starts following you about and leaching your desires you can fix it the same way. Overstim it until it screams, force feed it until it pukes, hurt it until it cries, fill it so full of sensations that its halo falls off and it'll be like any other human. And then put a collar on it, it's basically a new born so it can't look after itself yet.

Anyway I think that's what it's like to be a demon. You're so saturated with desire that your presence radiates hunger and lust causing those around you to succumb to their base needs until they inevitably tear themselves to shreds in attempt to satiate a bottomless vessel

a good person for having

some of these stars :o)

14 years ago when I had recently moved to Alaska, I went hiking with an Aleut friend, and she pointed to a feather lying on the ground and said "hey that's a bald eagle tail feather, you should grab it!" and I was like "uhh I'm very white and that's very illegal" and she went "they're fuckin everywhere up here man. I have 20." so she grabs it off the ground and hands it to me and says "there, now it's a ceremonial gift from an indigenous person."

and I'm like, okay, cool, I guess this is how we do things in Alaska. nice.

so I keep this bald eagle tail feather around for years. display it in my home among other cherished memorabilia from places I've lived and visited, etc.

on a whim, I have just now looked it up. there is no exemption to that law for a ceremonial gift from an indigenous person. the last 7 years I lived in the US, I was technically a bald eagle poacher.
