#plot building

If things go the same way as canon, the kids find the kwami after Marinette babysits everyone, only this time, they realize they're kwami because they know what kwami are. This may or may not lead to identity reveals depending on how dense/dumb the kids are

Then, when Rolland gets akumatized, his akuma form can incapacitate Miss Terra while leaving the kids unaffected, so they're gonna have to fight an akuma without Miss Terra's help in...maybe the first time?

What do you think?

I think you’re right—that would be a pretty great turning point for the little kids. I don’t remember the episode too well though, I’d have to go back and rewatch it.

Like in Harry Potter, when all the muggle children get wished away into the wizarding world, you’d think the government would be suspicious of the 1000s of children just disappearing off the face of the earth? But they just don’t care? Also how did they react to the wizard attack? Wouldn’t that launch a full investigation across the nation? Like you’d think someone would be suspicious???

One of the medias that I think makes more sense with this is Good Omens, as they’ve already established that Heaven/Hell can work their way with human paperwork (like the mail order from 6000 y/a for the apocalypse). Most of my odd legal questions can be answered regarding aziraphale’s bookshop (since he’s dealt with the bureaucracy of heaven his whole life, human legal systems must be a breeze.)

Hello there! :D

It’s great you want to start writing again! Yeah, it can be hard to get back into the routine of everything, I get that.

My process is rather chaotic, I would say. The first thing I have is mostly an idea, a first scene I want to see written, some dialogue which sounds really good in my ears. Something catchy which brings me actually start planning some stuff.

Which would be:

What needs to happen in order for that scene to happen? What are the requirements, the emotional background, the involved people? Are there any problems or a conflict maybe playing a part in there?

I will be simply a little narcisisst here and use End My Loneliness as an example. At first, I had this very image of a hermit with strange powers who gets persuaded by Team 7 and a developing crush on Kakashi to go to Konoha. With this image in my mind, I asked myself what would be the catch. My thought process was:

A hermit -> lives alone in the woods -> doesn’t trust people out of reasons -> Team 7 needs to work for the trust/to actually make her travel with them

The first conflict is born. Basically, I have one scene and build the entire story around it. In the process of building the story, more scenes pop up. The next step is to connect these new scenes to the currently existing construct and put everything into a timeline.

Though, I don’t like to plan absolutely everything to the last miniscule detail. I like to have some kind of freedom in my writing. That’s why I mostly have this half-planned construct ready when I start writing. While I’m writing, I still build the characters and the story and also some unplanned (or planned) foreshadowing. So, no plotting from start to end. But that is different from writer to writer, so I would say you have to find out what works best for you :D

For characters it’s basically the same. You have to find out what their most defining feature is. Again, I will use EML as an example here, for the MC it was her distrust of humans and her journey to overcome said distrust. Everything else - her grumpiness, her defenses, her initial anger at the situation - stem from that distrust and define her. From there on, it’s relatively easy to spin the story further.

I rolled for the dad, first roll, mother fricking 20

Shocked I rolled for the mom mildly hoping her to be dead so it at least balanced out, naw 17

So uh since obviously that would be lame I’m treating this like a regular role but with minus ten. dad got a 10, mom got a 7.

Coma for the mom, dad severely injured. Plane did have a rough crash into the ocean along with some dead bodies due to combat, but Skyla was right about having it covered with enough body guards and back up. 

(Still wtf dice)

What is misdirection? Let’s take a simple example of a magician. A magician uses subtle misdirection to trick the audience. He makes you look at the wrong place while he does something in the actual place. He might tell you to focus on his right hand, when actually, he does something with his left hand. Misdirection in writing works a similar way.
