You're just not toxic enough.

#the apothecary diaries #maomao #jinshi #When she loves poison as much as she does...this really isn't as big of an insult as it may seem.#'I'd rather poison myself' from a girl who genuinely wants to eat the poison? Not bad!#This was a thank you gift for a friend who helped me out of a tough situation. I hope you enjoy this!#I am so sorry I still haven't finished season one yet. I promise I'll get to it eventually.#Maomao is a really fun protagonist and as a mystery lover - the detective plots she finds herself in are very enjoyable.#Even if she doesn't want to be part of them. Girl who just wants to mind her own business but keeps getting hired to snoop around.#Jinshi is a great character in his own right. He is also a wet little clown that I want to wring out and leave in the sun to dry.#Man...now I want to finish season one...I miss them...

Honestly, I love it when characters relapse. When someone who’s gotten over their anger issues falls into a situation so out of their depth they fall back on their old habits. When someone who’s learned to open up becomes a recluse again in order to cope with something outside their control.

There’s just something so horrible, so toxic, about watching a character grow and then slip back into their old selves in order to cope, bc you know they still care, that they’re the same inside, but watching them hurt so hard they don’t know what else to do brings a sense of catharsis.

Poppy playtime got a guy worse than William Afton

#myart #chloesimagination #comic #fnaf #five nights at freddy's #fnaf fanart #springtrap #william afton #harley sawyer #fnaf 3 #poppy playtime #poppy playtime doctor #poppy playtime chapter 4 #So I saw the new poppy playtime chapter #and I think the plot and characters finally worked for me #really sparked my interest #I DONT love all the directions that chapter takes #but can we all talk about how cool the doctor is #AND BY that I mean how truly twisted he is #William’s crimes somehow feel small now #in the face of the company that just experiments on just kids #the doctor is awful in every way sick and twisted #and I think that’s epic #just the idea of William hearing the shit playtime co got up to #like I think the scale of it would genuinely shock him #even if he’s interested in that science as well #I may draw a lil more poppy stuff as a treat we’ll see

my favorite scene in all of literature is when Neil Josten wakes up in Columbia after being drugged, hurls an alarm clock at Aaron, dumps his water on the floor and throws the cup at Aaron, stuff his clothes down the toilet and squeezes out through the window, has the foresight to call Matt from a pay phone to protect his shit, hitch hikes back to campus, eyes back to brown?? shows up on Wymack’s door like 😜 and reveals he could speak German the whole time?? CHARACTER OF ALL TIME, that is a protagonist who knows how MOVE THE MFING PLOT ALONG

#My dad always told me one of the most important things about writing #Is that your protagonist needs to be the one driving the plot lol #like Neil really mfing does that #He gets the plot moving and when it does it HAULS ASS #One of the most beautiful things about tfc #Is that Nora creates the most insane world and as a reader your like??😂 wtf #But then she writes a character who is perfectly suited to deal with that insane world #it’s so endlessly satisfying to read. All the characters speak other languages perfectly for some reason? No worries.#so does Neil. They like fight with knives and love to slam each other into walls? NO WORRIES #so does Neil #Bitch and he’s 5’3???? MY MAN #Novel of all time #protagonist of all time #Solidified its place in the canon of great literature #nora sakavic #all for the game #aftg #the foxhole court #tfc #neil josten

Every time I see an author promoting their debut Greek mythology retelling on twitter I mourn the loss of like. To put in ineloquently. Just using these stories as inspiration for your own. Your story does not need to force itself to fit the shape of Orpheus and Eurydice it’s fine you can just allude to their story!! You can use their themes!! Nobody is going to arrest you for being allegorical instead of literal!! I might eat them alive at this point. It’s the only way.

#like I think you have lost the plot a bit if you follow up ‘retelling’ with a setting so far removed from the original story #that you actively struggle to fit your stolen characters into their original plot structure #also none of them know what feminism is but I digress #talk
