#Beige Flags and Red Flags

[gfitzwillsebastianz3rd]

It's been a month and a half since I got back to my blorbos and started writing again, and I'm happy to feel like I've improved.

I'm also happy to have noticed that my beige writing flags still include the following:

- Giving characters with the least amount of screentime more dialogue, sometimes directly from the MC’s mouth because it suits them better.

- Making the MC physically, emotionally or mentally unavailable when the original dialogue makes them look like a spineless dummy or they have no dialogue. (They can still *be* a dummy, I just cut out all the recap dialogue and add reasonable intelligence.)

- MC more often than not, is a sarcastic deadpanning a-hole when I'm tired of a character’s cannon nonsense attitude.

- Soft spots for the MC I find has the most trauma, and reasonable/understandable reactions to it. They are not a rock, they need a nap, a listening ear, and possibly a hug.

- Removing an LI, SC or MC from a scene for something mundane like packing a suitcase, using the bathroom or not wanting to be in a space with another character they can't stand.

- Using a pet or small baby/toddler/child to call out the characters crappy behaviour indirectly or distract them from a situation. Mostly comic relief or to be cute when scenes are emotional or tense.

-Male MC is always the doting parent to their cannon child/children or fanchild. I physically cannot write at least one character in any story who doesn’t adore them.

- Putting the characters in outfits either due to obligation or the fact that the character loves/hates that clothing for the dialogue opportunities.

Bonus points if the reactions are body language more than dialogue.

- MC will develop in confidence instead of staying static, but will also have moments of vulnerability where they go in the opposite direction.

- Sex scenes between LI’s do not have blackouts where the reader gets confused about where the characters are. It’s a pet peeve and aftercare is important.

- Making sure there are transitions in between the scenes so characters do not magically appear and disappear with all their belongings suddenly where they need to be. Bonus points for making the MC/LI/SC mess up and forget something. Even if they are not human, they have something resembling humanity and it’s foils.

- There will be fan art. I hyperfixate and you will see lots of it, hand drawn, drawn digitally, or even commissioned. 🤩

Possible Red flags I always find in my writing -

- Giving the Characters their wildest dream/worst nightmare and having them realise how unprepared they are to test plot Armour and understand their headspace as a writer.

- Researching the changes of the character’s motivation to extremes and being obvious about it.

- Rich MC always shows affection for the group by splashing the cash even if they grew up modestly.

- Male MC is always written as if they are emotionally intelligent even if it takes a while for them to trust the others/Chosen LI/SC to talk to.

-Female MC/LI/SC starts off awkward as I struggle to write them. Usually takes a whole story and a half to get into that character’s head.

Enough time has passed

I honestly don't give a fuck whether somebody's proship or antiship or whatever the fuck. I always hate when people go "ERMMMM that artist is problematic cuz they PrOsHiP" ok why are you telling me this? I don't care. Find a real problem, I beg of you. If you really don't like something, just block it.

Like, I feel as if the only time people should care if someone's proship is if they endorse whatever problematic thing they're portraying IRL.

Nothing hurts more than revisiting a previous hyperfixation only to find out how poorly it's aged

[distopea]

To whoever read this...

If your muse has a crush on any of mines... I'm sorry but they have a problem. A big mental problem. A MASSIVE ISSUE. 😌

[carnivorousyandeere]

Lenore and Darcy…….. brain rot is rotting again. Love the evil, evil vampire wife keeping you as a blood bag/source of entertainment (she torments you mentally for her own amusement). Holding out hope that her calm, quiet, unassuming, and seemingly compassionate husband may take pity on you and free you. After all, doesn’t she torment him too? Doesn’t he wish to escape her, too?

Having that hope utterly shredded as you come to realize that he’s not afraid of Lenore, he’s not under her control— he chooses to be with her. Loves her, and loves you— but he doesn’t love you enough to set you free. Or, as he’d say, he loves you too much to set you free.

Maybe some part of him likes seeing his wife play cat-and-mouse games with you. The slimy, conniving bastard, hiding behind that genteel façade…
