How to write with emotion and give the reader 'all the feels' - podcast interview at @thecreativepenn

I’ve recorded another guest spot at Joanna Penn’s now-legendary podcast on writing, publishing and book marketing! Over the years we’ve chatted about numerous aspects of authorly work and life. This time we’re discussing how to write emotion, in fiction and memoir. Why is this important? Oodles of reasons. Readers of these kinds of stories are seeking an emotional experience, so writers need to…

Kirby's Character Development 101 Questionnaire

A while back, I mentioned on my rp blog that I have a sort of questionnaire for myself to fill out when adding a new muse to make sure they're really established in my head before actually starting to write them. A few mutuals were interested in seeing what that looks like, so I finally got around to posting a blank copy.

You can treat this as either an ask meme to reblog, or something to copy-paste for your own personal use in muse development. All I ask is you don't claim this as your own.

As always, remember to specify for multimuses!

"If you want to direct, watch things." -Kenneth Branagh, Pt. III

Ten years ago I gave myself the challenge of watching 52 films in 52 weeks. I called it, "If you want to direct, watch things." My goal was to learn what I liked, why, and to encourage myself to write.

I exceeded my objective and ended my year with 150 films. I learned a little more about myself and what I could accomplish.

Over the years, I have lost motivation for my personal wellbeing. I've been overworked, stressed, depressed, unable to focus - but I'm feeling better now.

So, now I want to do it again. I want to push myself, challenge myself... because I can, because I'm up to it.

Objective: Watch 150 films/television shows. Goal: To know I can put my mind to something and accomplish it. Movie | Short Film | Television Show | Re-watch

Run BTS: 040 | Lunar New Year's Special : Only Good Things

Original Air Date: 13 FEB 2018 Episode Length: 25:40 Total Parts: 1 YouTube English Subtitles: Yes Title Song: Blood Sweat & Tears

Synopsis: Broken into 2 teams and playing new years games

Production: This is a nice standalone episode. I do feel a little confused at points but the calligraphy at the end is a lovely break in the formula these episodes have been falling into. It is a little weird to have in the middle of the previous 2 parter though.

Endearment: The guys are so great together. I actually had a hard time keeping track who was on each team. Also, the bit at the end where they left the table one by one and Jungkook/jimin were the last while Spring Day played in the background...Definitely an unexpected emotional moment with the current perspective of the ms...

Winner: RM, JH, JM, JK

Loser: JN, YG, V

Best Cheater: Almost Jimin for that one throw but even Jin admitted it would have been a half cheat lol. so I guess none.

Member Moments:

RM: RM was so indifferent at the throwing game until he got that first one in and then he's savage!

JN: Scolding JK for not starting the calligraphy when Yoongi was really calling him out. lol

YG: He pulled his sleeve AAAAALL the way up for that throw. lol.

JH: There's a beautiful poetry to Hobi blowing out the least candles. even in a game, he's the brightest.

JM: I just love how playful Jimin gets with the roleplaying bits with Tae. it's so heckin cute.

V: V, you absolutely brought the photo issue upon yourself. haha, you knew you'd be having to do the same thing but you you tempted fate a little too much!

JK: " He's trying to make us suffer by delaying it". JK is the actual MVP at the statue poses.

Bonus Content:  Another ep where I didn't write any bonus notes...sorry all!

CQ Rank: 3.5

I'm not a specialist in English by any means, but one tactic you might try is getting into a single type of poem and then seeing what people do with it. Since you mention Shakespeare, the sonnet is the obvious choice.

And once you have a feel for how it works, you can try checking some contemporary ones out. Like I said before, even if you end up not liking the content, just being able to figure out the structure can give you some satisfaction.

And even if you just want to stick with Good Ol Willy Shakes, reading his sonnets as a single body of work can open up all kinds of interesting stuff, both artistic and historical...

If you want to try poetry from languages other than English (in translation or not) then you can REALLY have some fun. My own specialty falls under the umbrella of the 'Sanskrit cosmopolis' (traditions drawing from/interacting with Sanskrit, not necessarily exclusively or in any specific political/religious relationship), and boy oh boy does that get interesting. Want to write a single epic poem that can actually be read as five different narratives? There's a genre for that! Want to use a meter that replicates the buzzing of a bee? Follow this formula! Want to use these techniques in your own actual daily language? Sure, go nuts! (But watch out! Depending on what your language is like, you may end up needing heavily Sanskritized vocab to make certain things work.)

And there's no shame in reading something (however canonical) and going 'eh, that's not for me.' That's how you develop your own literary taste, and it'll help you find what you DO want. (It can be useful to reflect on what it is that you don't like about it, and that's a skill you develop the more you read.)

Remember, the most important rule of poetry appreciation is to have fun and be yourself. :)

I'm gonna be real. I hardly ever "get" poetry to be honest

notes:

⋆ the angst part is like... real angsty (esp number 52, it got my eye twitching)

⋆ the angst part has some sensitive topics like being blamed for someone's death and mental illnesses

⋆ it was really hard for me to think of fluff prompts so i got almost all prompts after number 15 from here.

⋆ I don't write smuts (U), yandere(U), mafia(C), agere(C) or poly(C)

U = uncomfortable writing

C = i just can't write these, the final product is usually shit HELP

Writing Prompt 039

"How do you plead?"

"Not guilty," Villain shrugged as a sheepish grin grew on their bruising face.

"Not guilty!" Hero hissed, a few pitches higher as their face shifted through a myriad of emotions before settling into disbelief and a hint of betrayal. (Not that they would ever admit to ever harbor any faith for their nemesis.)

It was like a stubborn thorn stuck to their thumb, bearable but sore and mildly infuriating- a frame just tilted by a few degrees from being perfectly straight. Hero swore they could feel their blood pressure rising the more they evaluated their situation.

"I don't see what's the issue," Villain sighed, still seemingly oblivious by the mess- in which at some point, Hero laid eight to five that Villain simply didn't care for it, in fact, they would soon find out with much disappointment that they were right along those lines. "I caught your thief as requested, " they stated, vaguely gesturing to the unconscious lump before them.

"Yes, well," Hero begrudgingly acknowledged, "And also recklessly crashed into their car-"

"It worked. They got out-"

"And proceed to chase them down the street-"

"Not my fault the rat was running-"

"Shut up Villain. You ignored my orders and proceeded to fight said rat who was armed by the way, may I remind you."

Villain's eyes squinted then for a moment, feeling a subtle hint of guilt settling in their chest. They stood up, bringing the cold compress away from their cheekbone. "Hero, do you," they trailed, taking a step closer to their sworn enemy.

Neither of them spoke for a while, staring into each other's eyes; Villain with an intense curiosity whilst Hero with defiance. It wasn't until Hero cooled down a little, did they finally took notice of how close they both were, did they promptly averted their eyes, coughing as they felt a growing blush on their cheeks.

Villain had considered teasing them for it only to decide against it, opting to apologize instead for their reckless behavior. Perhaps there was hope after all, they mused, allowing themselves for once to indulge in their fantasy for a friend.

"Dinner?" Their voice was uncharacteristically warm.

A soft smile grew on Hero's face. "I would like that, yes."

Prompt List

Enough | Minho

—

It had been hard.

Of course it had been hard, why wouldn’t it be? Losing a best friend was never easy.

Losing Newt wasn’t easy.

It wasn’t easy on anyone, but it wasn’t just his death that haunted you. It was everything. You couldn’t close your eyes without being back in the maze, running, screaming, crying, It never stopped.

But you couldn’t stay awake forever. At some point, the nightmares won and you’d wake up crying.

When you’d arrived at the safe Haven, after the first night, you knew that you needed your own hut. You couldn’t wake everyone else up for your own selfish needs, it didn’t feel right, after all they’d done for you.

After all he’d done for you.

Minho deserved to finally take a break. He deserves to only worry about himself now.

And yet, the first thing that runs through your mind when you wake up drenched in sweat is him, but you can’t. You can’t go and bother him, you just have to be brave. With that thought in mind, you shut your eyes and brace yourself for the demons in your sleep.

...

Minho could tell.

It was easy for him.

He knew you better than you knew himself, and if the darks bags under your eyes weren’t enough, the tears were. He didn’t know what to do. He told himself, if you’d wanted help, you wouldn’t come to him already, at least, he’d like to think that.

The truth was, after losing Newt, he felt like he’d lost a part of everyone. No one was really the same, and he couldn’t blame them. But he hoped you’d stay the same, he hoped that he could finally tell you how he really feels and just be happy.

But that would never be the case, not unless he did something about it. And he was going too, because he couldn’t let you suffer like this forever. He couldn’t sit there and know that there is something he could’ve done, but didn’t.

He can’t stand by and watch the one person he loves slowly slip through his fingertips.

So he’s here, now. Outside your door, freezing his ass off and wearing pajamas. He can just make out the sound of your broken hiccups through the door and that’s when he decides, enough is enough.

He knocks.

Minho can hear the way the sobbing stops, and the way your feet pad across the floor until they stop. There’s a moment, a beat of regret when he thinks you won’t open the door, but then you do.

“Why are you at my door at 3am?”

Minho blinks, slightly shocked at the statement, before he forms a sentence. “I know you can’t sleep.”

“Minho…”

“Don’t shut me out, (Y/N). Just let me be there for you, please.”

You bit your lip, weighing your options. You look Minho up and down, trying to avoid his gaze because you know you’ll give in. You watch as his hand reaches out for yours, holding it tightly in his and that’s when you break. It’s like your legs give out and you fall right into him, but he catches you.

And he holds you.

He doesn’t say anything, just shuts the door behind him and lets you cry.

“You can’t hide in my arms forever,” He whispers softly. And suddenly, everything in the world feel a bit better. It’s a bit calmer, and you think you can find sleep tonight.

“I know,” You admit, lifting your head from his chest. “But you’re here, and that’s enough.”

035. Forgotten. 036. Time. 037. Gift. 038. Red. 039. Yellow.

Headcanon Exploration

} YOU GAVE ME SO DAMN MANY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

TForgotten: There's not much, if anything, that Kyuushi forgets. One of the benefits of being a Kitsune of her Earth, or a curse depending how you look at it, memory is particularly strong.

Time: Something that's... odd, to Kyuushi. She knows full well what the ramifications of it is, yet at the same time Kitsune like herself and many other inhuman species across her Earth live for rather long times. Her own life span is supposed to be close to an entire millennia, as are all Kitsune. A century per tail, if they're earned 100% naturally, and one century with all nine. They can live beyond such a time potentially, but it's rare to hear about Kitsunes living beyond 800, let alone 1000.

Gift: She doesn't really have much experience with gifts, giving or receiving. She just knows they're things you give to people, or receive from people, that consist of something thoughtful, or contain something precious.

Red: The color of Kyuushi's hair, and fur! A color that a good sum of her outfits have to some degree or another.

Yellow: She... doesn't exactly feel strongly about yellow one way or another, I guess is all I can really say here?

“i’m gonna keep you alive whether you like it or not!” poe dameron

pairing: poe dameorn x medic reader

summary: poe enters the medical wing half-dead and you have to deal with the aftermath of a failed mission

word count: 1′039

warnings: bad writing done at one am, I really don’t like this idk why I’m posting it

requested: nah

You were just finishing the stitches on a man's head when he walked in. Actually, 'limped in' or 'was walked in' was probably a better way to describe it. Jessika was the only thing holding him up as she stumbled to the infirmary's front door. Your inhaled sharply and ripped your gloves off before rushing to her. You wrapped Poe's free arm around your shoulder and helped his teammate lie him down on a free bed. You frowned down at the unusually silent brunet beneath you. You raised your head to ask Jess what had happened but she was already out of the room. You pulled on a fresh pair of gloves with a sigh and got to work.

"You're never this quiet, " you noted, "did something happen?" Silence. Pulling up a stool to sit next to the pilot after gathering everything you would need you brushed Poe's hair out of his face, examining the large gash more closely. You accidentally placed your hand on his abdomen and heard him groan in pain. "What the-" How were you only seeing the huge cut now? You cut his uniform open and pushed each side apart, staring at the large slash going across his ribs. White and yellow pus was beginning to gather near the sides. It was getting infected and you had to act quick. You started fussing around, getting some disinfectant on the wound all while cursing the gods above.

"No," Poe's bloody fingers wrapped around your wrist. "What is it?" you asked, frowning in confusion. He shook his head and pulled your wrist away from his cut. "What, no, I have to take care of this, it's already infected, Dameron," you yanked your hand out of his grasp and continued to wipe away at the wound. It was now clean. He would need a few stitches, though. "No," he repeated, louder this time, as you threaded the needle, "leave it," he grimaced. "Leave it? I can't leave it, it won't get better," you argued. The man nodded blankly. "Good, I don't want it to get better,"

It was only then you saw the way his eyes were shining. Tears. You placed a large patch on the cut, it could wait a while. You sat down on the stool and got closer to Poe. You took off your gloves. "What happened?" you asked softly, staring into his eyes. He blinked away tears and avoided looking at you. "I-" his voice broke, "I couldn't save them," You let out a long sigh, running a hand through your hair. An unsuccessful mission. It happened. And every time, Poe would come back like this. He would have fought almost to the death and still think there was something, anything he could have done that would have magically saved everyone. "Dameron," you rested a hand on his forehead, leaning closer to him, "it's okay, we've talked about this," you whispered. Poe's head jerked in your direction, eyes angry. "How can you say that? How is any of this okay? It's not! People are dying, Y/N!" he exclaimed, cheeks reddening with anger. You closed your eyes for a second, feeling your own temper rising inside of you. "Poe, I'm not saying that it's okay, I'm just saying that-" "It happens? That's life? What's one more, right?" he spat, each word pushing into your heart like a nail. "I'm saying you can't save everyone, Poe," you spoke, jaw clenched as you sat up in your seat, leaning away from him. "I can bloody well try!" he snapped. You shot up, your stool rolling away behind you, and pulled your gloves back on. Poe lay his head back down, sighing loudly. You ripped the patch off and started threading the needle once again.

"I said I don't want you to treat it," he muttered. You ignored him, your muscles tensing as the wound started bleeding profusely. He was using too many muscles getting angry at you, or rather at himself and it was bad. "I can't just leave it like this, it's bleeding again," you retorted, getting started on the first stitch. He grunted and tried to sit up. "I can refuse medical treatment!" he roared. You easily pushed him back down. "Poe, you're not thinking straight. Sit down, you're making this harder than it already-" "Y/N, I said I don't wanna get it treated! I don't see why I should live when none of them did!" he yelled. "Poe-" "No! It's all so easy for you to say! You tried your best! It's alright! It happens! You can't save everyone, Poe! You'll do better next time! You don't see it! THEM! YOU DON'T SEE THEIR VILLAGES BURN DOWN! WHOLE TOWNS! CIVILIZATIONS! HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE DYING! WHY SHOULD THEY DIE? WHY SHOULDN'T I WHAT MAKES ME SO MUCH BETTER THAN THEM?" "I'm gonna keep you alive whether you like it or not," you snapped. You were now on the third stitch. One more and it would all be over. He collapsed back on the bed, exhausted by all the screaming. You pursed your lips as you finished your fourth stitch. He was cursing into his arm, tears trailing down his face. His misery made your eyes water. You cleaned the wound and wrapped a bandage around his torso.

You got rid of the gloves, washed your hands and returned with a glass of water. "Here," you handed it to him. He took it with a weak 'thank you'. "You think I don't see death, but look around you. This isn't paradise, Poe. People come in here and never come out. You think I don't see that? You think I like being the only one who knows someone's last words because no one else was around when they passed? I try to comfort you Poe because if we settle on a fail, we'll never get a win. I can save more people with a positive mind. I can't save people if I'm hung up on one patient's death. But just because I'm not hung up on it doesn't mean it's forgotten or that I don't care about it," "Y/N, I-" "You can come find me when you're healed and ready to apologize,"

December 5th is Makoto Kino/Sailor Jupiter’s birthday!

So how can you celebrate?

♃ Rewatch or reread your favourite Jupiter-centric chapter, episode, or musical! Start with episode 025, her introduction and the first instance of her famous “senpai crush”; then move to episode 039, where she crushes... again, this time on a handsome figure skater; episode 049, where her close friend Shinozaki is put in critical condition by a Cardian and she goes looking for revenge; episode 055, where she expresses her love for alien-turned-senpai Seijuro by way of homemade lunch box; episode 096, where Makoto gets a crush on Haruka and learns to explore her own presentation; episode 105, where she loses to a Daimon in a contest of strength and starts to second-guess her abilities; episode 134, where she visits a friend from her old school whom she encouraged to pursue writing; or episode 147, where Makoto waits for her “prince charming” Tiger’s Eye at a dance and launches a thousand MakoAmi shippers yes I see you there.

♃ Sailor Jupiter has several official image songs across different canons you can play for her big day:

90s anime: Anata no Sei Janai [“It’s Not Your Fault”]; STARLIGHT ni KISS Shite [“Kiss Me In the Starlight”]; Wasureru Tame ni Koi wo Shinaide ["Don’t Fall In Love to Forget”]; WE BELIEVE YOU Live Action: MIRACLE DANCE NIGHT; LOVELY YELL Crystal: cherry pie Musicals: Zigzag Slash She was also given a totally new image song in Dic’s original English dub that took the place of “Anata no Sei Janai” in episode 49, Rainy Day Man.

Here’s a playlist of all these songs and other Sailor Jupiter BGM cues!

♃ Whip up Makoto’s favourite foods, meatloaf and cherry pie. Unlike some other fellow Sailor Guardians she’s not a picky eater and has no least-favourite food, so why not challenge yourself to try something new or revisit an ingredient you thought you hated? You never know, you might grow to love it!

♃ Makoto’s very self-reliant, and her hobbies reflect her practical nature, particularly as she had to look after herself from a young age after the deaths of both her parents in a plane crash. She’s also intentionally pursued hobbies considered traditionally “feminine” out of concern that her outward appearance and mannerisms don’t convey who she is inside.

Her most oft-portrayed hobby is cooking, which is both something that brings her personal satisfaction and a way for her to express her love for the people closest to her - she shares her lunch with strangers, serves her friends fruit sandwiches & tea when they meet at her apartment, and daydreams about giving a personalised boxed lunch (bento) to her sweetheart. She’s also a natural teacher, showing the gang how to make curry (which becomes the one dish Usagi can make) and cookies, and showing Motoki how to make hayashi rice (“hashed beef”). Why not host a little dinner party or pot luck for your friends, teach yourself a new recipe (or teach someone else a favourite recipe of your own), or simply celebrate food by patronising a small cafe/bakery like Makoto dreams of owning someday?

She’s also a demonstably skilled sewist, making anything from stuffed toys (apparently, her specialty is teddy bears), to knitting, to bespoke patterns for her class’s maid cafe stall at their high school festival. If you’re a beginner, why not start with some simple DIYs or by altering clothing you already own/thrift, and if you’re experienced, now is a good time to revisit that project you have lying half-finished in the back of your crafts cupboard you keep saying you’ll finish someday when you unpick that one bit I SEE you there.

Makoto loves flowers and has quite a green thumb, perhaps influenced by the Japanese element she draws her powers from - wood. She tends to the strawberry patch at their high school with great success, and though she is often associated with roses, her favourite flower is actually the sasanqua (a type of camellia). She loves flowers so much that she dreams of being a florist someday, a dream she actually achieves in the live action! Pick up a new plant from a local nursery, fill your house with flowers from an independent florist, or start your own produce garden in your back yard, flower pots, or a small indoor terrarium/windowsill. If you don’t have the means to tend to a garden of your own, why not look into seed bombing with plants native to your specific area to combat invasive plant species. Or simply visit your favourite nursery, arboreum, or public garden to surround yourself with nature!

For sports, Makoto is proficient in martial arts, specifically karate (in the original anime) and judo (in the manga and Crystal). She’s also shown to be naturally gifted at ice skating thanks to her past life as Princess Jupiter, since it was a popular sport in the Moon Kingdom, pulling off even very difficult moves like lifting her partner over her head. Check out some local martial arts classes in your area or take some friends to the ice rink! She also enjoyed, and was quite good at, ballroom dancing, so take your partner or a small blue gal pal to some dance lessons - just not ballet, which she can’t quite finesse.

♃ Dress like Makoto for the day! Particularly in the first season, Makoto stuck mostly to “tomboyish” fashions, again reflecting her practicality and sporty side, rarely daring to wear skirts or dresses. However, as the series went on we learned that she in fact admired traditionally “feminine” clothes but feared they wouldn’t suit her. With encouragement from her friends like Usagi and role-models like Haruka, later seasons saw her branch out into a secondary style, with a more mature, “womanly” edge than the young, girlish styles of her friends - though she still enjoyed her original “boyish” fits. Wardrobe staples include casual jackets/hoodies, cable knit sweaters, slacks, shorts, loafers, and sneakers, and later midi skirts, turtlenecks, and bodycon mini-dresses. She wore a lot of green in varying shades, but also orange, teal, and increasingly pink.

As Sailor Jupiter, her image colours were dark green and “sugar pink”, and she wore green ankle boots accented with bright white laces. Her most iconic accessories were her pink rose earrings which, unique amongst the Sailor Guardians, she wore both transformed and not, even throwing them once as a makeshift weapon. Her nails were painted apple/avocado green from her second transformation onwards. Her hair, which to the disbelief of her teachers was naturally curly, was usually worn in a high ponytail with a bobble hairtie (plain teal in the 90s anime, green with petal-like accents in the manga/Crystal/PGSM) and two locks falling over her ears, though she did sometimes swap the hairtie for a ribbon or scrunchie.

Makoto didn’t seem to wear much makeup but did wear cologne/perfume, almost certainly rosen/floral; in fact, it’s one of the first things Usagi notices about her when they meet. If you don’t already have your own signature scent, browse for some local indie perfumers to find something that speaks to you - or look up how to make your own!

♃ Makoto wears a belt of potpourri around her waist in the manga and live action, so you could try mixing a blend of your own dried flower petals and displaying it in a bowl or tucking it in sachets amongst your clothes. In addition to the obvious rose petals, consider including oak leaves or pine needles for an earthy, woodsy note.

♃ Fall in love with someone you met 3 minutes ago!

♃ Crack some skulls!

♃ Clean up your living space! It’s good for the body and the mind.

♃ Fav and read some Sailor Jupiter fanart and fanfic on sites like Pixiv, Twitter, and AO3 - or contribute your own new content! Don’t forget to tag!

Feel free to reply and reblog with your own ideas of how you’re going to celebrate Makoto’s day!

Happy Birthday, Mako!

Story Recommendations

For your reading pleasure, included below is at least one fic rec for each pairing except the crossovers from non-Marvel fandoms (apologies to Mr. Potter & Mr. Stilinski). Most are gen fic, and even in the ones with a romantic pairing, romance is not the focus.

Tony Stark

As Subtle As Cognitive Recalibration by petroltogo (Teen, 8949) tumblr: @tonystarktogo

Standing inside his penthouse, listening to Rogers, Barton and Banner explain to Fury how they just happened to stumble over the Tesseract on a routine security check of Stark Tower’s roof and wouldn’t you know, they’ve managed to fight off the looming alien invasion before it could really start and secure the missing overpowered nightlight is one of the most surreal situations Tony has ever had the displeasure of experiencing.

Peter Parker

the worst field trip ever by shrill_fangirl_screaming (Teen, 3420) tumblr: @i-am-having-an-emotion

"We're on a field trip," Peter said. "To here. And Tony decided to be our tour guide and absolutely embarrass me, so can you please help get him under control?"

Which is how Peter Parker, architect of his own destruction, ended up with not one but two superhero pseudo-dads being annoying on his school field trip.

Steve Rogers

Do You Remember Being Happy? ('Cause I Sure Don't) by GalaxyThreads (Teen, 11022) tumblr: @galaxythreads

That seems about right. He doesn't know how he knows that, though. He does have vague memories of an annoyed fondness at finding peanut butter in some sort of jam. Thor's doing, because he doesn't see the point of using two knives when one works just as fine. He knows that. How does he know that? He knows all those little details, though, almost innately. How can he know these strangers so deeply?

Everyone else below the cut!

Loki

Proprietary by TheThirdMarauder (Teen, 7639)

No, Loki simply wants the Avengers conquered. The details of whom, how, and when matter not. Unless, of course, said details interfere with Loki's plans. Then, well, then none can fault him for protecting his own interests.

Loki has always been exceptionally good at lying to himself.

Natasha Romanov

What Girls Are Made Of by enigma731 (Teen, 4613) tumblr: @enigma731

She rolls her eyes but does as he’s indicated, using his shoulders to leverage herself up onto his back, her arms around his neck and her legs hugging his waist.

“You know,” he says blithely, “this isn’t really what I tend to picture when I think of a hot girl riding me.”

Natasha groans, deciding that if his sense of humor gets them arrested, she’ll kill him herself. “Just go.”

Clint Barton

Dear Clint Barton (circa age 7) by pollyrepeat (Teen, 4221)

With a normal person, this might count as blackmail material, but a) this is a case of mutually assured destruction if ever there was one, and b) Fury is immune to embarrassment. Not just in the regular, Tony Stark way, either, oh no. Things that could possibly end up being embarrassing to Fury get somehow warped and changed until they go from mortifying all the way over into useful and/or good for his image. It’s like a superpower.

Carrying Clint’s small child self around on his shoulders more than once has probably already hit the interagency rumour mill as an example of Fury’s innate awesomeness: good with rocket launchers and small children.

Also available as a podfic!

Bruce Banner

They're Not Wrong by Trumpeteer34 (Teen, 10163)

As Tony began to pace around the hole in the road to keep himself from shooting repulsors at the nearby buildings in a fit of rage, Thor began to study the nearby area. There was no sign of either the Hulk or Bruce Banner beyond the crater. The surrounding area, aside from the rubble of the fight, held no clue as to their friend’s location.

“Guys, he’s gone,” Tony growled into the communicator on their private line, drawing Thor out of his darkening thoughts. “Someone tranqed him and took him. He’s gone.”

Honorary mention goes to the Responsible Science series by @letteredlettered - the stories don’t have the "Avengers Team & Bruce Banner" tag, but they could, and they are amazing. The best Bruce Banner writing I've ever come across.

Thor

Fortunately, I Am Mighty by onward_came_the_meteors (General, 3062)

Steve was the first one to speak. “Are you okay?”

Thor nodded. Which was a bad idea, as it turned out, because now there were little gray lights flashing in front of his eyes. “I’m fine.” Absolutely everyone narrowed their eyes, and he added, “But, uh. Could we possibly not get back in the car just yet?”

Avengers Team

Civil Wasn't by onward_came_the_meteors (General, 7123)

"We're having an ideological conflict here," Tony stated with disbelief. "Are you telling me you still want to go out to dinner?"

"It's a standing engagement, Tony," Rhodey reminded him.

"Not you too—"

"We already had to reschedule from Friday when Natasha was..." Rhodey frowned. "What were you doing?"

The question was directed toward Natasha, who shrugged and said, "Spy stuff."

James "Bucky" Barnes

You Know How I Feel, aka, The Adventures of Bucky and Muffy the Dinosaur by ifeelbetter (Not Rated, 4511) tumblr: @ifeelbetterer

“As you may have heard, Bucky Barnes, a.k.a. The Winter Soldier, recently rescued a tiny part-robot dinosaur during the Avengers’ battle with Dr. Doom in Antarctica,” the other newscaster explained. “Pictures of Barnes and the dinosaur were posted on twitter by fellow Avenger, Clint Barton, a.k.a. Hawkeye, and immediately made Barnes’s new pet America’s sweetheart.”

“Her name’s Muffy,” said Steve."

Wanda Maximoff

and the woman was young again by Mira_Jade (General, 3669)

Tony Stark called them the Cap's Kooky Quintet, and sometimes the term amused her – causing her to lift a sardonic brow where someday a smile would truly smile. She enjoyed the presence of comrades – true comrades – and she enjoyed the way their minds wove and bound together about each other to fluctuate against her senses as one. There was something soothing about being in their midst, and even when their loud and brash ways – their painful Americaness - rubbed her raw and drained on her, it was ever the knitting of their minds that soothed those moments over, and made them inconsequential.

Phil Coulson

Coulson's First Day of School by storiesfortravellers (Teen, 3055)

Coulson looked up at him. “I like drawing pictures with Mr. Rogers. I like having tea parties with Ms. Potts. I like it when Dr. Banner reads me books, and I like it when Natasha teaches me things. And I like when you play with me. You do really good voices when we play action figures. And you’re the only one who lets me do stuff like jump off the high diving board at the pool or eat three cupcakes or play tackle with kids at the park.”

Clint didn’t realize that. He was pretty sure that meant that he was doing something wrong.

Darcy Lewis

Beginner Yoga for Dummies (Darcys) and Sad Hobos by chailover (Teen, 3434)

Darcy had a theory: crazy attracted crazy, working kind of like gravity. It was pretty much her explanation for her life after Thor. And if she had thought the type of crazy Thor attracted was bad, be it Loki or the Warrior Three and Sif, or the dark elves and the Convergence, it was still nothing against what the Avengers manage en masse.

Matt Murdock

Double Blind by smilebackwards (Teen, 2381) tumblr: @smilebackwards

Stark snaps his fingers. “You can’t see half of my inventions. This explains so much about you and why you’ve never been properly impressed by me.”

“Does it?” Matt says, ambiguously.

Sam Wilson

Bystander by scribblemetimbers (Teen, 52029)

“I just want you to know,” Sam says loudly, cautiously raising his hands, “That I’m very poor and very sleep-deprived and literally the only thing you can kill me for right now are my notes.” He pauses. Wait. On second thought: “Please don’t steal my notes.”

“I’m not—I’m not a mugger,” Not Mugger rasps out, and for all that he looks about to keel over and die, the man actually manages to sound offended.

Nick Fury

Bedtime Story by dixiehellcat (Teen, 2532) tumblr: @deehellcat

Fury snorted. “I have to check in with the duty officer. I’ll be back in, let’s say twenty minutes. I expect all of you to have whatever your pre-bedtime routines are completed, and be in here pajama’ed and ready to be read to.”

He tapped the book under his arm, then left with the usual dramatic swish of his long coat. Bruce scratched his head. “Did…he just say be ready to be read to?”

Pepper Potts

Pepper and the Avengers (Which She Knows Nothing About) by rebelmeg (General, 6696) tumblr: @rebelmeg

The Avengers, that mismatched group of hurt and heroism, was one of the most important things in Tony Stark’s life. So, naturally, Pepper had made them an important part of her life too.

Vision

039. Intoxicated by aimmyarrowshigh (Teen, 100) tumblr: @aimmyarrowshigh

It might be nice to fit in, just this once. To lose a bit of composure.

Vision floated over to the refrigerator and, with some timidity, pulled off a magnet. He stuck it to his forehead.

#100daysofwriting | day 039

a daily writing project created by @the-wip-project // tagging some of my fellow writers joining in on the fun: @kinetic-elaboration, @thelittlefanpire, @easilydistractedbyfanfic, and @hopskipaway

It turns out that all of my October deadlines for prompts can be shifted throughout the rest of the year so I’m feeling some extreme relief today! Think one of my next steps will be really sorting the order I want to *aim* to write in for these while still leaving some room for when inspiration strikes. I also think this means that if I want, I can just really dive back into my Midsommar fic and get it finished without completely avoiding my other stories.

What kind of traits make a character interesting?

For me personally, I’ve always preferred characters that have a gray area to their personality or choices. Or at least complex heroes, even if they’re still the good guy. Pretty much the “what’s a good trait about them and how can that same thing be a weakness or a flaw at the same time.” Because the genres I like are usually heavy on the plot (sci-fi, thrillers, fantasy) or have expected bad endings (horror), I prefer a character that at least feels flushed out, regardless of the traits. I think a lot of people seek comfort or personal validation through the characters they like and that’s totally great! Just not for me!

Fic(s) Worked On:

Bellarke, Tarzan AU

Made more progress today in writing it! I think my outline is primarily done as well, at least the bare bones of it. It’s due August 1st but I think I’ll be on track to get it done on time!

Bellarke, Darklina AU

I started the most basic form of an outline! I don’t have to start this one for a while but since I’m also working on minimal working knowledge of Shadow and Bone, I am going to have to do some extra research while I outline! So I at least wanted to get the file going for now

Bellarke, Mythology AU

More just outlining! Trying to get a general idea of the plot and the arc it’ll take + how many chapters it’ll be. Easily a prompt that could spiral into a massive story, which I’d prefer it not to. But it also is complex enough that I want to give it justice which means it’ll definitely be a multi-chapter! I also really want it to have a ~vibe~ so I’m trying to already plot that out in my outline as I go to make it more immersive from the get go

cognacdelights’ prompt list

I’ve decided to make my own prompt list because that way I can fill it with prompts that I’m inspired by, rather than just having a general list and hoping someone doesn’t request a certain prompt that I don’t want to/don’t know how to write. I have in no way created these prompts myself, just simply collated them from other prompt lists.
