i really hate the way the "boobs vs butt" thing got broken down into this implicit idea that butt is the nobler stance. it's really stupid. personally im a woman guy. [realizes how that sounds] [purses my lips in thought] [nods confidently] im a woman guy

If Armand loses his eye in an act of self sacrifice or in order to help in some way you’ll never hear the end of it from me btw like giving up a piece of the body that for so long he perceived as his greatest offering to anyone shut uppp

remembered that clip and had to make this

one of my favorite things to do in limited perspective is write sentences about the things someone doesn't do. he doesn't open his eyes. he doesn't reach out. i LOVE sentences like that. if it's describing the narrator, it's a reflection of their desires, something they're holding themselves back from. there's a tension between urge and action. it makes you ask why they wanted or felt compelled to do that, and also why they ultimately didn't. and if it's describing someone else, it tells you about the narrator's expectations. how they perceive that other person or their relationship. what they thought the other person was going to do, or thought the other person should have done, but failed to. negative action sentences are everything.

I love this too... and it is something I found in a lot of Anne Rice's drafts in a less explicit way. She wrote more of what characters said, and did, and felt right even in final drafts... and then she sometimes cut it all away so they didn't say anything at all... and yet somehow, when you read what they originally were saying you already knew it exactly. Maybe because she wrote it, the feeling somehow remains.

In my own writing, I do it in a lot clunkier way. At least when in first person. Because in first person it is so fun to be literal about the difference between thought and feeling and what is actually articulated/actual action. I love explicitly showing what the first person narrator does not, or cannot say.

But in first person narration, I do also think about this a lot for the characters whose heads I am not in too. Sometimes I feel especially sad for those characters. For example there might be a character who barely speaks and I want to scream ACTUALLY THEY ARE FEELING ALL OF THESE THINGS! But I can only show what the person whose head I am in understands/imagines.

Yum, yum, yum. I love first person narration. If I am not a maggot, crawling through the tunnels of your mind, what is even the point?!
