Remember your character’s autism even when they’re not interacting with others- because autism shapes the way we perceive the world at all times, not just the way we act around other people.

Remember your character’s chronic pain even when it’s invisible to everyone around them- just because it’s not visible doesn’t mean it’s not real.

Remember your character’s mental illness(es) even when they’re not having a breakdown- just because we’re not currently unable to function doesn’t mean our illnesses have disappeared or stopped shaping the ways we think and feel.

etc, etc, ETC.

These gifs were all made by me and are almost all 268x151. Please excuse the varying coloring/quality, these were made over the course of several months and Buffy doesn’t have a good HD version available, so it took a lot of experimenting to get things to work.

GUIDELINES: You may edit these for gif icons, crackships, sidebars, ect. I don’t particularly care what you do with them, but if you plan on posting these publicly (i.e. if you’re going to distribute your crackship gifs or make a gif icon pack) you must CREDIT me. Crediting means tagging me with @gwennifergifs in your post AND linking back to my original gif pack. If you ever have questions about what you can and cannot do with my gifs, please ask.

Please like or reblog if you found these helpful, as that really helps get the word out!

HERE you’ll find 1099 gifs of Emma Mackey as Maeve Wiley in Season 1 of Sex Education. ALL of these gifs have been made by me ( @aliciacody / @alyciaresources ) and I’d appreciate it if you DID NOT post them as your own, put in gif hunts or make them into gif icons for public use without credit. If you are wanting to re-release these as gif icons you MUST follow these rules, otherwise, I will message you asking you to take them down. I hope you appreciate them, a lot of time and effort went into them, and if you do use them give this a like or reblog!!

They may look like the person has become calmer and less involved, dismissive, even. Some people become intensely subservient and silent. Some become catatonic.

Panic doesn’t always involve screaming, crying, and obvious signs of distress. It involves an extreme form of the person’s fear response – which can be altered by circumstance, ability, and what they’ve learnt to fear.

Researching an Historical Topic (Titanic)

Sometimes we need to write about things that we can’t personally experience, like being a passenger on the Titanic. Movies can be a great introduction to a topic like that, but a big part of your job as a writer is learning to do research and researching your topic thoroughly. All you have to do is go to places like Google, YouTube, and Amazon (for starters) and type in keywords for your topic. “Titanic” brings back millions of combined hits on Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg, and Amazon. You should have no trouble finding loads of free information on this topic.

Look for…

- general information articles such as on Wikipedia- articles about what the ship was like- articles about the Titanic sinking- articles about survivors and their stories- non-fiction books and reference materials- other fiction books (I recommend A Night to Remember)- other movies (A Night to Remember also has an old movie)- web sites dedicated to Titanic and its history- letters and interviews with survivors (interviews should be on YouTube)- documentaries about Titanic (YouTube and streaming services)- Titanic the Musical (listen or watch free on YouTube)- web sites for Titanic museums and exhibits- interior mock-ups of Titanic rooms, areas, etc.- Titanic games/videos of games (there used to be some Titanic computer games)

These resources, particularly the survivor interviews, should tell you everything you need to know about what it was like to sail on Titanic.

And for anyone else researching an historical topic or event, you can look for the same kinds of resources in the same places. All of that information is out there and most of it is free. You just have to take the time to search for it and learn from it.
