Random Stuff for Your Story

I have bookmarks saved for random, different, interesting topics that don’t really fit into any single category, so I decided to just put them all together in one list.

A list of resources on miscellaneous topics to help make your stories more interesting.

Writing Accurate Heist Scenes A tumblr thread that discusses accurate heist scenes for heist movies, and what it’s like to work as a security guard.

Friends, Not Love Interests Helpful advice for anyone who is writing two characters as friends (particularly when one is female and the other is male), in order to help minimize the chance of readers wanting them to fall in love.

In Time Travel Movies, When the Time Traveler Asks... A tumblr thread that discusses more realistic responses for when a time traveler asks what year it is or where they are, instead of people automatically thinking they are weird or crazy for asking.

i love lyu. i love her so much. she's so fucking pretty. look at those wings. that outfit. those eyes. that weapon. she's rad as hell.

sorry, i got ahead of myself! meet lyubov balkier, created by @pap1taa-toto. thank you, darling, for letting me draw her — and thank you for your patience as i've struggled to get back to the doodle queue.

she's got snowy owl charactersitics (i really wanted to show off her wings in this drawing but i'll admit i'm not super-skilled at illustrating them, so i might come back and redo them at a later date) and can control the weather and communicate with animals. and again. the weapon. like, can we just appreciate how fucking cool she is?

this grade-a bad-ass was kidnapped from what sounds like a very lovely and loving home-planet when she was only eight years old. her kidnappers attempted to sell her on the black market, but she somehow managed to escape and apparently survived on her own for some time. it sounds like despite a rocky start to her relationship with the Yondu Clan, they ended up adopting her (or, well, whatever it is that a Ravager clan does when they take in an actual, literal child). and now, post-volume-two, she's kickin' it with the guardians and with @thirteens-lucky-tardis's oc, ember!

in short, lyu is rad as hell. please please check out @pap1taa-toto's blog for more info about lyu, and for a bunch of really fun artwork of her. she's so fucking cool! thanks again for letting me draw her, my friend!

for those of you who have been patiently waiting in the doodle queue lineup, please know i might be reaching out soon to see if you'd still like me to draw them and to double-check that i have good references! i am hoping to post at least one a month until the queue is complete.

I like when people like a character so way too much that it transcends even self shipping or kinning and becomes more of a patron saint that you pray to type of deal

The people in my life don't seem to understand how much Rocket genuinely means to me. He's not just a favorite character, he's everything. Rocket is one of the only characters that I've had a constant hyperfixation on for more than a few months. I always find myself going back to him like he's home.

For the past couple of weeks, I haven't been able to live in my house because our plumbing is broken, so everything I love - my bed, my cat, my stuff - is at my house while I am not. The only way I have been able to sleep is because I have a Rocket Raccoon plushie. He's not very large, but easily huggable. Without him, I wouldn't be able to sleep without feeling restless.

Tomorrow is my birthday, and like always, I find myself crying (and I have been for the past hour and a half). I keep thinking 'I wish I could just hug him... that's all I want right now...' and that's true. All I want is just one hug from Rocket... to have him tell me everything is going to be okay... I went down a rabbit hole, trying to find out easy ways to shift, just to hug him. That's all I want to do... I just want him to hug me... tell me that everything will be okay... that he's proud of me for making it this far...

To me, Rocket isn't just a character, he's an inspiration. He hides behind snark and sarcasm, and he's broken, but who isn't? He protects those he cares about, even if he tries to push them away. Deep inside, he's one of the most caring people... he knows when he needs to be serious, and he knows what to do to help when he can. Rocket is not just a character, he's everything... he is what helped me start to get over my writers block. If it wasn't for him, Ember wouldn't exist. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have met some of my best friends. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be where I am today...

Sorry for the little rant, I'm just really wishing he was real rn so I could just hug him... birthdays are always hard, and this one is no different...

Had the opportunity to throw myself into making my first mural 👁🌱

Despite all the doubts I had, happy to have experimented and learned from something I had never done before.

Grateful to the people who inspired me when I had no idea what I was doing 🧡
