As much as I love the Stardew Valley spouses it always kinda bugs me that they stay stagnant after you marry them. Like even after having kids and passing a decade in game they look and act the exact same? Anyway what if

Bachelors and Krobus are here!!! Thanks for your patience ^^

(Also if you like these and want to see them smooching YOUR farmer, my commission info is here :3)

I hope you find the type of love in life that makes you feel at ease. I hope birdsong will sound like music to you again. I hope your home is warm during the winter and cool in the summer. I hope people smile at you enough. I hope you wake up curious for what's to come. I hope you listen to your body's aches as signals instead of mere hindrances. I hope that when you reach out, there's a hand to grasp onto. I hope that when you laugh, bursts of happiness accompany the sound. I hope you live a life where today is just as exciting as tomorrow. I hope you don't feel guilt over moving on from the things that were your fault. I hope you rest well. I hope you eat enough. I hope you hold your hopes tightly. I hope you allow them to transform into dreams. I hope your dreams come true.

Day 10

Nuna

Luna Lovegood x Neville Longbottom 🍀

Another very popular ship in the HP fandom that should have been canon. When you think about it, there are many similarities between Luna and Neville.

Luna and Neville both experienced loss and trauma - Luna lost her mother and Neville's parents lost their minds after being tortured by the death eaters and couldn't even recognize their own son.

Both Luna and Neville were known for their kindness and empathy.

Luna and Neville were both considered "quirky" by their peers. Luna's belief in magical creatures and her unique perspective on the world aligned with Neville's initial lack of confidence and later bravery.

And they were so cute together!

Do you really need more reasons to ship them?

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

[phoenix-pnw]

And then panic doing 25 things in one day every 8 months…

being an adult is just saying to yourself “this is the weekend i’ll clean my [x]” and then proceeding to not do that because it’s the weekend and you deserve to relax, goddamnit

You’re a superhero’s sidekick. But he doesn’t pay you, so you’re also moonlighting as the minion of a supervillain your hero never faces. Until one day, he does.

sometimes writing is "i am going to beat the shit out of my favorite character and then put them into a food processor" sometimes writing is "i am going to stuff them into a blanket cocoon with their friends and their cat and a cup of something warm" sometimes writing is both in quick succession and sometimes writing is "HEEHEE LOOK AT THESE TWO IDIOTS LOOK THEYRE IN A SITUATION DOING THINGS! :D"

Harry Potter being smaller than all first years (which we all knew anyway) but twice as feral.

Prefect Percy immediately noticing his small stature and being worried, Boy-Who-Lived or not. So he always offers him more help or just lends an ear. At first Harry is wary of him, no one is nice to him for no reason. Either it's a trick or with his new fame in the picture, because they want something but slowly he begins to trust Percy. Percy feels like a big brother for the first time in a long time. Ron and Ginn rarely went to him with their problems, they preferred Charlie or Bill (he couldn't blame them as he too preferred them but it still hurt), or worse the twins (that hurt worse). They didn't care for his advice. For his knowledge.

Harry was a breath of fresh air....well somewhat. Things he said were concerning and when Percy tried to get an adult to help (*coughMcGonagallcoughDumbledorecoughHisMomcoughHisDadcoughMADAMEPOMPFREYcough*) they brushed off his concerns which was more than a little concerning. So he just vowed to help Harry whenever and however he could. Then Harry somehow made the Quidditch team. At eleven. AT ELEVEN.

----------

Oliver Wood loved his new seeker! He was timid at first but quickly found his confidence! Sure it was on the feral side but that's how Oliver liked his players! I mean, look at the twins! Plus Harry had the perfect seeker build! Though...he was on the small side. But Oliver chalked that up to the lid being literally eleven but when he looked closer he realized that no...Harry was really small. Too small. And Oliver would know, his mum was a healer and she taught him some stuff considering his love (obsession) with Quidditch.

So he pays more attention. And what he witnesses and notices is not...good. it's very telling. He tries to go to some adults about what he's noticed but nothing came of it and that really got him mad. Then out of no where Percy Weasley came up to him and started lecturing him on Potter's health and all Oliver could think was, oh thank Merlin I'm not the only one who's noticed!

He and Percy stayed up well past curfew talking about their smallest cub and somehow it ended up with them coparenting the Boy-Who-Lived. Oliver would be completely honest and admit he didn't think it would be so difficult until the troll incident....then the dragon incident.....then the CERBERUS incident!

Oliver became something of another big brother to Harry and another confidant. So when Harry told him more about what happened at the Dursley's (because Harry never called it home. Never) Oliver was already plotting to kidnap the boy from the house or the station whether Percy thought it was a good idea or not.

Introduction

Writing from multiple character points of view (POVs) can add depth and complexity to a story. It allows the reader to see the story from different perspectives, getting insight into each character's thoughts and motivations. However, writing from multiple POVs can also be a challenge. In this blog post, we'll explore some tips and strategies for writing and juggling more than one-character POV.

Understanding Each Character's Voice

The first step to writing from multiple POVs is to understand each character's voice. Each character should have their own distinct voice, tone, and style of speaking. This can be achieved by giving each character a unique backstory, personality, and motivation. When writing from a character's POV, think about how they would describe the world around them, what kind of language they would use, and how they would react to different situations.

Balancing Multiple POVs

When writing from multiple POVs, it's important to balance each character's story arc so that they all receive equal attention. One way to do this is to create a rough outline of the story, noting which chapters or scenes will be told from each character's POV. If you find that one character's story is taking up more space than the others, you may need to revise your outline to ensure that each character has their own compelling journey. Additionally, make sure that each POV switch is clear and easy to follow. Using chapter breaks or section breaks can help signal to the reader that the POV is changing.

Knowing When to Use Multiple POVs

While writing from multiple POVs can be effective, it's important to recognize when it's appropriate to do so. Not every story needs to be told from multiple POVs, and some stories may be better served by sticking to one character's perspective. When deciding whether or not to use multiple POVs, consider whether the story requires multiple perspectives to be fully understood or if a single POV would suffice. Additionally, be mindful of the number of POVs you use. While a story with two or three POVs can be effective, using too many POVs can become confusing and overwhelming for the reader.

Conclusion

In conclusion, writing from multiple character POVs can add depth and complexity to a story, but it's important to approach it with a clear plan and strategy. By understanding each character's voice, balancing multiple POVs, and knowing when to use them, writers can successfully juggle multiple perspectives and create a compelling story.

I'm a fucking sucker for pet names. Any kind of term of endearment. Love. Beloved. Darling. Calling out to your baby, your child, your little sibling, your bigger person, your parent, your spouse, your side-by-side and other half. Your love. Your little one. Honey. Sweetie. Baby. Even worse if they're in a native language. The minute a character gives and and gives them that level of tender vulnerability I'm actively on the floor sobbing my eyes out.

Feelings Wheel

This is the feelings wheel by Geoffrey Roberts, shown to me by my therapist. My initial thought was, "what amazing synonyms to use for diverse emotional vocabulary!"

More than that, this wheel is great for understanding your characters inner motivations and reactions to situations. For example, if a character constantly feels helpless, then their overarching characteristics will be that they are fearful.

Characters who are less emotionally aware may use words and act in the inner most circle. Those much more aware of their emotions may describe themselves or express and use words from the outer most circle.

Hopefully you guys find this as helpful as I did! Let me know down in the comments.

Happy Writing!
