Click the link above to join my Wednesday themed discord! It has engaging bots, channels for sharing artwork and writing, and plenty of other channels for chatting! We also have a dedicated space for discussing theories, fanfics and your favorite artists as well!

Warning: most of the members ship Wenclair, so if you're not a fan of the ship this might not be the place for you! I hope to see many of you there! The server is pretty small right now but I'm hoping to build a community of people who love the show as much as I do!

Me and my amazing girlfriend are watching the show Only Murders In The Building, and the guy who owns the cat (one of our fav characters, the cat not the guy) Sevelyn, well. We found a major inconsistency there. Minor spoilers BTW.

Who the heck would consider giving up his cat for a guy you just met? Just because this dude you hardly know is heavily allergic. Have the cat live at the LIBRARY, get a HUMIDIFIER!? Lint roll all your clothes? Heck no! Dude, you're an IDIOT!!

My gf loves cats and if I ever developed an allergy I'd get on a pill or something before letting her give up her baby.

This is something I'm working on finding for some of my characters right now. Namely my mind character, as I want her to feel like she's not a bland piece of cardboard. So lets dive into some tips I'm finding along the way to figuring out who my characters are.

First and foremost, not all characters should be the same. Some of them may talk fast and rapidly, which leads them to have longer, more ramble-y sentences. Some are quick and to the point. Others may be in the middle.

Word choice. Maybe one of your characters loves big and fancy words. Others can be more simple.

Dialect. Maybe a character is from Texas and has a traditional southern accent. Use words that are more native to the south. Maybe they have a Boston accent, or British, New York, even! Figure out what are common phrases and consider using them! It'll make it feel more natural.

Any trigger warnings will be in the summary and tags for the fic. If you’d like to look at the whole collection here’s the link: Pride Month 2023 Collection

I'm not sure how many people know what a Penny Passport is. I've had one my entire life, and it's not filled up yet. It's small one, too, and I used to go so many places when I was younger and collect pressed pennies. And as I grew older I stopped going new places, which isn't my fault, nor was it my dads, things just got harder on us, and well, we didn't have the opportunities to to anywhere new.

I hope though, now that I'm older, and can make my own decisions, I'll get to and press new pennies. Because yeah, while I know it's probably something littler kids like to do more than grown adults, I still want to keep collecting pennies. Fill up more passports. Because pressed pennies remind me of when I was younger, when my family was happy, we didn't have issues and could go places and fill that passport up.

“Cast out to sea…”

As the famous singer sang, Amity looked at Luz. The human smiled easily, and then slipped her hand in Amity’s. The room got a thousand degrees hotter instantly. Amity knew right then and there that she wanted to be with Luz, like really be with her…like dating be with her.

She knew before. But right now, experiencing this with her best friend, well it kinda solidified that feeling. And, just like the song Sabrina Carpenter was singing, Amity was too in the middle of starting over. For some reason the world brought Luz into the witch's life, and at any point she could get whisked back to The Demon Realm.

They were at a Sabrina Carpenter concert for titans sake! Maybe right now was the perfect time to ask her out. So, Amity opened her mouth…

And then she yelled out. “Luz! I’m so glad you took me to this concert!”

Luz raised their hands up. “I am too, you’re my best friend!”

“Right,” Amity muttered. “Friends.”

The girl's heart sank. She couldn’t ruin the night by asking Luz out now that she thought about it. What if Luz didn’t like her back?

So, Amity put on her best smile and enjoyed the rest of the night, her hand firmly holding onto Luz’s, and her heart desperately trying to attach itself to Luz and failing miserably.

Amity pursed her lips. “I didn’t come from the healthiest of homes, Luz.” 

“I wouldn’t of known,” Luz whispered. “Is that why you came to live with your aunt?” 

Amity inhaled sharply. “I, uh? Kinda. I mean, Eda isn’t my real aunt. But she did save me. It’s all complicated.” 

“I’m here to listen,” Luz put her hand over Amity’s. “If you want to talk about it.” 

“I don’t want to burden you, Luz. I can tell you have your own stuff going on,” Amity tried her best not to look at Luz’s arms. Her sleeves hadn’t rolled up, but once Amity even glanced at it for a second, Luz seemed to understand. 

“I’m alright, really,” Luz whispered. “No need to worry about me.” 

“I wont push you,” Amity said. “But if you need anything, anything, you can message me. I’ll come over, find you, whatever you need. Call me even.” 

Luz slumped in her seat and crossed her arms, almost as if she was challenging Amity to something. “Same to you.” 

Amity smiled. “I’ll promise to come to you if you promise to do the same to me.” Luz’s guard fell. “I promise I’ll do my best, I really do. It’s just…hard, to be honest about anything with people. And please…don’t worry anyone else with this stuff. Like, my stuff. Don’t…like, tell anyone. That I’m not okay. Because I am.”
