Creating Authentic Dialogue: Tips for Realistic Conversations

Imagine your favorite book or movie. What do you remember most about it? Often, it’s not just the plot or the characters but the dialogue that lingers in your mind. Well-crafted dialogue breathes life into a story, making characters and their interactions feel genuine and relatable. Writing authentic dialogue is an art that every writer can master. In this exploration of creating authentic…

What do you think Louis first thought when he saw Daniel again as a vampire? What do you think was the first thing he said to him (or Armand) about it?

Ooh I think about this a lot 😭 So I think Louis' initial reaction to seeing Daniel would literally just be deer in the headlights, poor guy is gunna be questioning his reality. But I think he had somewhat speculated that Daniel might make it to vampirism eventually.

Obviously Louis knew that he had survived his attack and he couldn't really know for sure that he'd been brought over. But I think that Louis knew Daniel was determined and was going to stop at nothing to get what he wanted, regardless as to whether or not he did actually get it. Whereas Louis' intention was to scare Daniel into leaving it all alone, I don't believe he necessarily thought it would work, deep down.

So seeing Daniel as a vampire may have come as a surprise to Louis at first, but really, is it that out of the question that he is? There have been more surprising things that have happened lmao.

As for what he said to Daniel, it was probably something along the lines of "I see you got it in the end, immortality." And he probably asked how Daniel was coping with it, what his experiences had been so far (even though it hasn't been long at all).

And then with Armand, Louis might have (somewhat jokingly) said that he never took Armand for having a fledgling, and that it's a bit of a shock. But at the same time, that he was happy for Armand - happy that he'd found someone who he was so committed to, and loved so much that he couldn't bear to let him die. To the point where he was willing to break his own vow to himself. Louis was pleased that Armand had allowed himself to do something both for him and for Daniel. It was both a selfish and a selfless act, but that's okay. They both deserve that.

I also think that Louis was just happy that Armand found someone who could be committed to him in return. Something that Louis previously hadn't been for Armand. He may have even thought about his own time with him and thought about how unfair he'd been (though given the circumstances, it was more than understandable). Louis was glad Armand was with someone who gave him what he himself never did.

yellowstone has a ton of issues but something that bothers me is how the relationships between the siblings is next to non-existent. the most we get is jamie and beth hating one another, which fine we don’t expect much from that since they just rehash the same issues. but it’s like half the time they don’t remember kayce exists. i don’t even think he and beth have shared more than 5 minutes of screen time together. the only real good scene he and jamie had is when he assures him they’re still brothers. you could say this is intentional because he’s not as close to his family but after 5 seasons there has to be some kind of development happening instead of it still being jamie vs beth/john while kayce is stuck doing some random side mission that doesn’t add much to the plot. hopefully in the new season something changes..

i haven't gotten too far into black clover (only ep 74 or smth like that) but there's one thing that i've been thinking about recently

no matter how little an action or sentance is, it tends to have a profound ripple effect on everyone else in the series

fuegoleon's "stay calm"s and "don't let your dickass siblings get you down you are in life or death and also better than that"(horridly paraphrased) and even the hand to head chops to a certain extent. THEN later on finding out that the chops and the "stay calm"s originated from sister theresa?? which presumably originated from her mentors and their mentors before them ad nauseum????

and then there's yami's profound effects on the black bulls just by being himself. where i am in the story it's not fully explained why or how he managed to come across gauche or vanessa, but him just wreaking havoc in his own way led to their lives being changed forever!

and when he heard asta say "i've never had someone expect something of me before" and instantly starts consciously expecting more of him. even when he orders asta to rest, he still gives him chores to do. it's different from how he does it before, too- i like to think it's his own way of showing him that he does expect great things, that he does believe

and for worse- nozel, nebra, and solid constantly belittling noelle had led to a very lasting affect on her. no matter what she does, how much she succeeds, it still shows in her nervous tics and need to assert herself as royalty(especially in unfamiliar situations) that she does not have all her self confidence BECAUSE she was bullied so viscously by her own blood. it's gotten better as she's grown as a person, and she's starting to learn to cope with the negative thoughts- but they don't go away.

tabata is a genius in how he's written the other characters interacting with each other.

Fun note of the specific pronoun situation with the translation errors between Wasp and Bugnish: under normal circumstances, Jayde would get automatically assigned he/him in Bugnish, since she uses the standard "non-queen social bug" pronouns that roughly 95% of the Wasp Hive do, which get translated to drone pronouns in Bugnish due to a roughly century-old miscommunication. She gets assigned worker pronouns in Bugnish specifically because those are what Kabbu defaults to with social bugs, and other people picked it up from him during introductions. This Will Be A Point Of Confusion For Her Whenever She Asks About It.

I didn't want to make this post by @utilitycaster even longer than it was or derail from the immediate subject, so I'm making my own to discuss these frustratingly apt tags:

#tangent but the best way to put it is that there is a FRIGHTENING lack of empathy among a certain set of shippers #and every other character is constant collateral and right now Orym's on the chopping block#but like. feed fcg the coin? guests merely exist to make the relationship happen? Orym would be happier dead? #how dare ashton express they have also experienced trauma? shitting on every past deity-aligned character? it's a real pattern.

Because I was reminded that this is also, by my estimation, the reason a lot of people were genuinely upset with C3 Percy. Some corners of the fandom had spent months building up fanon where Percy, one half of one of the most iconic CR ships (and therefore a huge form of potential validation), would do everything in his power to make Imodna happen bring Laudna back to life and get rid of Delilah. And then Bell's Hells actually met him, and it turned out that under the circumstances, Percy was an individual with his own thoughts and feelings about death and fate who'd had thirty years to reflect and had reservations about resurrection even laying aside the Delilah situation.

It didn't matter that he explicitly said he wasn't rejecting the idea of bringing Laudna back entirely. It didn't matter that he had very good reasons to behave this way, reasons that the entire fandom was reminded about rather viscerally less than a year beforehand. It didn't matter that once he was assured there was no threat, he was actually really helpful and genuinely kind to Laudna in particular. If he wasn't immediately accommodating to fanon and validating the juggernaut ship, he was an irredeemable asshole who deserved to be "humbled" by having his wife and close friend go behind his back despite any reasons they might have to be concerned. (Which, to be clear, they didn't do, but the "nyah-nyah, Vex and Pike totally OWNED that rich old geezer cause they're strong women who do what they want!" sentiment was very obnoxious and I was pleased to see that Matt torpedoed it.)

“you didnt know what you were guarding?”

what if i said that blind faith. or blindness to others actions and intentions. or something along those lines is a hugeee theme of part 2 (not that it wasnt in part 1) and fujimoto is constantly reinforcing it!!! in part 1 i feel like instances were more intentional (ie makima manipulating everything to destroy denjis happiness and denji going along with it because he didnt know any better) whereas in part 2 we see a lot of characters (like katana man here) who were just pushing forward blindly. the chainsaw man church kids not really knowing the extent of fami’s plans. sugo just going along with the other hybrids and then trying to justify why burning down the building was right to denji. even asa in the most recent chapters as we can see how like fami and more particularly yoru convince her of a truth for their own ends. like everyone here is blind to what anyone else in the story is trying to achieve and how it might affect them!!! and in this instance with katana man, we can see how he’s actually been working against the goal that his “heart beats for” because someone else told him to do it and withheld their true intentions from him. this (plus all the stuff about blindly following goverment or religion) really is shaping up to mold fujimotos ideas about human connection and relationships from both parts in really interesting ways!!!

Having been reminded of Umineko for a bit, it's honestly wild for me to remember just how many insanely messed up things occur in that series (and also its sister series Higurashi, and likely Ryukishi07's later works) and then also remember that that series was very formative for me during my high school years.

Today's kids could never xD

I really enjoy tadc, and it’s very well made so far, but in the least judgmental way possible, it feels like some of the fans have never seen a cartoon before

On one hand, I want a final fantasy 6 remake, because the game is criminally underrated and the amount of fan content (which is all absolutely fantastic btw) is Not Enough for my neurodivergent, hyperfixating brain.

On the other hand, that would inevitably encourage more people to join the fandom, which would be great, except it seems these days the bigger a fandom gets the more toxic it becomes, and I really like what we have going on over here in our little corner. We all just love the game and its characters and nobody fights about who should and shouldn't date who or who you shouldn't like because they're ~problematique~. Nobody's trying to make one ship morally better than another, nobody's calling anyone names or threatening to doxx people who don't agree with their opinions. It's so peaceful and I love that for us. We're just vibing. Moisturized. Unbothered. In our lane. Flourishing.

haaate how my two favourite ships (surgamy + espilver) typically involve the less popular character losing their edge and acting really out of character (but in an in character way?) because when i go through periods of not drawing/writing/whatever much when it comes to surge or espio as standalone characters (or at least outside the context of shipping) i get scared im gonna forget who they are and that theyre actually so cool

Updated Ren's reference AND finished designing his BG3!AU as well!

Renée favors being straightforward and to-the-point no matter the universe, so I imagine the second his companions start bickering and being sassy at each other, Renée starts to debate the merits of walking into the sea never to be seen again. He's so fucking done with everyone all the time
