i’m fucking SCREAMING

these type of kisses. like he couldn’t get enough of you. like when he grabs you and pulls you back into kiss even if you gasp for air. he just can’t stop once he started to kiss you, he’s addicted. and his kisses aren’t too rough. he just begs to feel any part of you against his lips so he could worship you properly.

and then

these type of hugs when he squeezes you onto his body and won’t let go. he just can’t. so he pulls you onto his lap and holds you until his stress and anxiety melts away.

but if he does the combo of that. then i’m dead.

(please delete pinterest from my phone cus i can’t stop_(:_」∠)_ i have at least 12 boards for desperate looking men T-T)

One thing I will literally never be normal about is these two scenes

The shift in the atmosphere; how it goes from warm and soft, to dark and unsettling. The way you can tell the mood has changed, not only in their facial expressions but in the lighting around them. The first scene there was hardly a single shadow, then in the second their faces are practically engulfed in darkness.

It’s so fucking genius and it breaks me every time

Okay, so this’ll probably not be my last post about Jey losing his title. I’m still mad and will continue to be.

But, I did want to say that I am extremely proud of him. He took that title and in a very short time elevated it. He added his own flare to it with the blue. He showed how much that title meant to him, talking about his mom and celebrating with the fans and his family.

I am proud of Jey and always will be.

I won’t ever stop being proud of him, because he has taken this all like the absolute champ he is.

He doesn’t need to have the gold to be a champion because he has been a champion since day one.

When writing, there’s a difference between a plot twist and a reveal. A plot twist is a revelation that makes the plot go in a different direction than it was headed. A reveal MIGHT be a plot twist, or it might be something that heightens the conflict or tension but still has the story going to go the same direction it was before.

A good plot twist for me happens in the middle of a story. It’s difficult to do a twist at the end and have the story’s trajectory go an entirely different direction and still feel satisfying. If the twist takes place in the middle, there’s still room for that now new plot to play out as a result. It either happens in Act II or it’s the Act II climax, with Act III now having the characters have to adjust for and contend with the change. If you have a plot twist in or as the final climax of the story— meaning there is a genuine change in where the audience could see the plot was going— you better have a VERY good alternate ending, and it needs to have had some foundation or hints or mention somewhere in the rest of the story. You can’t take a hard left turn and have a different ending just for the sake of surprising or shocking your audience and subverting their expectations because you “Don’t want them to see the end coming,”; that’s just lying and it’s not going to feel like a cohesive or satisfying story.

Some good examples of a mid-story plot twist and an ending plot twist are both in Knives Out, the first being when we as the audience see how and why Harlan Thrombey dies and we’re shown the killer from the beginning, but then we find out the real killer in the end with the parlor scene. The movie subverts our expectations of the genre by telling us who the killer is! But we spend the entire time rooting for them because we know the truth and we like them and don’t see how there would possibly be an explanation or way out! But then we’re shown the REAL truth at the end and we’re shown how it happens! It’s a satisfying twist because it’s still within the bounds of believability not just for the world, the genre, and the tone, but for how the characters have been characterized the whole time.

On the other side, a good reveal can happen anywhere, provided it’s done right (which is the caveat for basically any storytelling choice). A good example of this would be Spiderman: Homecoming when Peter shows up at his crush’s house and realizes who her father is, because that suddenly complicates the emotional stakes for the character, now tying the physical main plot to the emotional desires of the B-plot. Now suddenly his alter ego’s conflict is at odds with what he as a person wants for himself. Will he make the choice that makes him happy but is ultimately selfish and will put people at risk because of his neglect, or will he make the selfless, responsible decision despite the fact it will come at a great personal cost?

I think a lot of movie and TV writers have relied on this idea of “spoiler culture” for too long and it’s why we’ve ended up with so many messily told stories that keep throwing out new things or relying on their “twist” endings or surprise character reveals to be what gets people to come see what they’ve made. I want to be able to follow the story’s logical plot all the way through, or I want to see you pull of an effective magic trick at the end by all the puzzle pieces suddenly falling into place and giving me the “Of course!” feeling I’d get from seeing each of the prior clues suddenly make sense.

I get that it’s hard to write those stories, but if you can’t do it well, just tell a straightforward story all the way through and satisfy our expectations with the payoff you’ve been building towards. Pulling the tablecloth out from beneath the dishes and still having them standing in the end is hard to do. I don’t need a magic trick every time, I just need a good story.
