─ .✦ If your villain monologues for more than two paragraphs, your hero should've escaped by now or at least checked their phone. Real people don't wait politely for evil speeches to finish. They interrupt, get bored and say things like "okay but can you get to the point I have dinner plans."

─ .✦ Stop having your characters look in mirrors to describe themselves. Your protagonist doesn't wake up and think "I looked at my reflection and saw my shoulder-length auburn hair and piercing green eyes." They think "ugh I look like death" and move on. Find literally ANY other way.

─ .✦ If every sentence in your action scene is the same length it reads like a grocery list with violence. Short punchy sentences for fast moments. Longer flowing ones when they catch their breath and realize oh god that hurt. Variety is your friend and so is rhythm.

they understand me

like it’s a kindness

but understanding

is just a summary

of the loudest parts

no one notices

the quieter contradictions

the opinions i held

for less than a day

the version of me

that existed

between two decisions

i am mostly made

of things that didn’t last

and somehow

that’s the part

𖤝 they don't just "forget" to add ingredients. they follow the recipe EXACTLY and it still comes out wrong. like, they measured everything, they did the steps, and somehow it's inedible. the recipe said "salt to taste" and they panicked because what does that MEAN? how much is taste? they added a tablespoon. it was wrong.

𖤝 they have irrational fears of kitchen equipment. your character who can't cook is TERRIFIED of the garbage disposal, doesn't trust the oven (what if it just explodes?), thinks the pressure cooker is a bomb, and has definitely cut themselves on a can lid and now treats all cans like enemies.

𖤝 they don't know when things are "done." the recipe says "cook until golden brown" but what SHADE of golden? there are like 87 shades! they've gone from raw to CHARCOAL with no middle ground. they've cut into chicken 6 times to check if it's done. they've served soup that was somehow both boiling and cold in the same bowl.

𖤝 their grocery shopping is chaos. they buy ingredients for a recipe and then have NO IDEA what to do with the leftovers. they have 47 half-used jars of spices they bought once and never touched again. they thought they were buying cilantro but it was parsley. they don't know the difference and they're too embarrassed to ask at this point.

𖤝 they have ONE dish they can make and they're weird about it. your character who can't cook has exactly one thing they can make successfully (maybe it's boxed mac and cheese, maybe it's scrambled eggs, maybe it's toast) and they will make it PERFECTLY and be SO PROUD and mention it constantly. "I'm not a chef but my [one thing] is pretty good actually."

𖤝 they've caused at least one kitchen fire. not a big one! probably! but they've definitely made smoke. they didn't know you're not supposed to microwave metal. they thought the toaster could handle a Pop-Tart (it could not). they left the stove on and went to check their phone "real quick" and that was 45 minutes ago and now there's smoke.

the two side characters whose tension has been tensioning finally sneaking off together

chaotic, deep, or drunken conversations outside/a room over

drinking games

making eye contact with a potential love interest or an antagonist from across the dance floor

consoling a random heartbroken drunk

being about to leave when their song comes on, they make eyecontact and rush back, energised once again

the sober friend watching the chaos as supervisor (and for blackmail)

saying the wrong thing drunk and desperately trying to backpaddle but being too out of it to properly word it

cops showing up, leading to a chaotic chase scene

ִ 𓏼 ears ; everyone enjoys being talked through it. but listening and aural reception aren't the only thing ears are good for. earlobes have hundreds of of sensory receptors on the outside. so if your character is looking to pleasure another, write them kissing, licking or nibbling an ear.

ִ 𓏼 inner wrists ; the inner wrist is highly sensitive due to a high amount of nerve endings and the position of major nerves. caressing the skin there can be great for foreplay. for sexual tension, have your character kiss their partner's inner wrist while holding eye contact.

ִ 𓏼 behind knees ; the curve behind the knees is an often neglected area despite the area being very sensitive to any kind of touch, from kissing to kneading to especially biting. many are even ticklish there. this small detail can work well with all kinds of positions, certainly when the character's face is near the other's legs or knees.

ִ 𓏼 scalp ; seriously, who doesn't love a good head massage. everyone knows the feeling when your eyes roll back and your ears start blocking out other noise, it's heaven. and severely underrated in the bedroom. pulling har is the surface. have your character grasp, press, rub their partners head and add to the pleasure.

ִ 𓏼 lower stomach ; the mound between you belly button and public area is surprisingly arousing when triggered. for people of all genders. for females this can stimulate the g spot and nerves from the outside whereas for males this can stimulate blood flow to other pleasure zones nearby. write your character using their mouth here or even pressing down here during sex. for more pleasure, a warm or cold cloth pressed over the area is most definitely an option.

ִ 𓏼 armpits ; if you can get past the taboo, armpits are highly sensitive. you can tell because they are so ticklish. in the same way, intimacy and physical stimulation of the underarms and side of the chest changes the game. if you're tired of vanilla, make your character dedicate some time towards this area. pecks, biting, sucking and licking work well here. like imagine a vampire sinking its teeth into your underarm ... fuck.

ִ 𓏼 achilles tendon ; if you’re looking for erogenous zones that take you away from, naturally, breasts and genitalia and maybe downwards, then a spot worth exploring is this tendon. this stretch of tissue can lead to more heat and intimacy if it's gently toyed with. if your character is on their knees, maybe taking heels off, have them kiss the achilles. that's desperation.

⁠❥ barely disguised giggles in an otherwise serious situation

⁠❥ collapsing into each other, falling to the ground, crying tears, gasping for air and begging for mercy

⁠❥ soft laughs while teasing each other

⁠❥ raspy chuckles shortly after waking up

⁠❥ into their skin as hands wander

⁠❥ snorting after being surprised by an inside joke

⁠❥ tired huffs late at night

⁠❥ suggestive grins when caught staring

⁠❥ cracking up over something stupid while drunk

⁠❥ accompanied by shrieking while being tickled
