and just when you think you’re at your absolute lowest a blonde motherfucker comes along and makes everything so much worse

it's already humiliating when you get into new media, take one look at a character, and know that one's gonna be living in your head indefinitely, but it's absolutely nothing compared to looking at a character and thinking eh i don't think i'd ever have strong feelings about that one he's kinda boring and then he sits quietly in the back of your brain poking idly at synapses and thoughts every once in a while until one day you wake up and realise oh. oh fuck. category 5 blorbo moment, how the ever loving fuck did this happen to me

when you're talking about the character and the person who likes the character starts typing for a long time

[alicehattera03]

characters going “we were lovers once”: eh, it’s okay i guess. it’s nice enough

characters going “we were friends once”: absolutely devastating. one hit knockout i’m gone

I understand the "I will die for you" ship dynamic, but what about the "I will not let you die, I will not let myself die- we will, at any cost, survive" kind of couple?

I kinda want to see Cale be magically handcuffed to a lot of people over the course of a couple days (weeks) just to see how they would all handle being handcuffed to him because Cale, as we know, would probably react the same to all of them, with differing amounts of indifference or mild annoyance at the new bother by his side looking into what he's doing at all times just because.

Bonus points when he's exasperated, "just let me sleep in peace", but the other person isn't, "i don't get to see you up close these days, let me enjoy it."

Extra bonus points for when he's the one curious for once and poking his nose into the other person's business and they have to physically push his face away, "give me some space, cale- don't make me say it again." and cale says right up against their ear, "i don't think so~"

Writers are scary because we’ll take personal trauma and think, "Hmm… what if this happened to my fictional characters but worse?"

[alicehattera03]

stop asking “is this good?” and start asking “did it cause emotional damage?” that’s how you know.

characters who are undead. characters who die in the end and so they've been dead from the start. characters who are chased by death. characters that chase death. characters who died and came back to life. characters that die again and again and again. characters who consider their past self dead. characters who were born in someone else's corpse. characters that claw their way out of the grave. characters whose deaths leave such a gaping wound that even their absence is still a presence. characters who are emissaries of death. characters who are alive but consider themselves dead. characters whose deaths are ambiguous. characters whose existences are defined by death.

[alicehattera03]

We need to erase the light in a character's eyes more often. It's enriching for them to look completely hopeless and lost

Idk there's something really sweet to me about fix-it writers. Like, me and you- maybe we couldnt make it this time, but in another universe, a million people saw the pain of our story and are writing us a happy ending, giving us the chance we never had
