#im just numb lol

[perfectlycleverduck]

all the energy he put in for that consistency off the top of my head for a chance at a top team

making sure ricky and the pitwall don't fuck him up (this is an every race weekend affair Abu Dhabi 23 trauma me thinks)

missing a race (I have so much to say about this week aka al ula is actually a cursed place)

gaining a weight advantage for a win (winning after appendicitis +10000 aura pts cojones de toro! el matador😭)

i was writing my thesis during Japan-China so idk😶

making miami interesting

tire explosion before the race but the monaco podium loves him for some reason

canada dnf(Imagine if that didn't happen and the car was good enough for a p3-5)

trying to be positive after a shit race in Canada only to nagged at after your home race in front of everyone 😭

getting and unexpected podium

creating his own colour code for proper track advantage in the rain

deciding your tire strategy for a race which sort of ended up winning the race but your team didn't trust the strategy(can't decide if it was a good or bad decision till now not to do H-H in spa instead of H-M-H)

well at least he has a seat now at the end of the day he's a thinking driver but i as a fan wanted more for him🥲 all hope isn't lost but I've still not come to terms with the news but I know he'll always do his best cause that's just what he does can't want to see what he does the rest of the season hopefully he gets to sing smooth operator with Ricky 1 last time!

I love 2p japan

CHINA: 日本さえ恋がしたいということ、考えられないことではないねぇ。(It’s not unthinkable that even Japan would want love, right?)

JAPAN: 闭嘴。(Shut up.)

i hope u guys know it is truly the very kind things you say to me that keep me going here a lot of the time. ive been in the worst fucking writing slump to the point ive really been barely writing at all and i finally felt like,, the same spark i had been missing this whole time after going through my hall of fame tag. thank you for everything so sincerely

(i'm the same anon that just sent an ask abt tides of regret hehe) i needed to send this in a second one cause i felt like it was too long lol. your sense of empathy is SEEPING through the words. i get the feeling that you have just have a good heart, idk :) your characters are so mature and thoughtful and also empathetic and it's so refreshing. i suppose i envy them a bit :')

this is singlehandedly the kindest thing a stranger has ever said to me…i’ve been reflecting a lot about the friendships i maintain and these past few weeks felt like a test, of sorts. reading this restored a lot of confidence i had in myself and i’m incredibly humbled and thankful that you think this of me.

there’s always a part of me in every story and every character i write. i’m so happy to know the enha i wrote resonated with you. empathy is such a fickle thing and i’m under the impression that i’ll always try to be the best person i can be by doing what’s right and good. i believe you can be that way too, if you wish.

you are so beautiful. know that.

Drew a thing on how it felt on chapter 4 (some pics are taken from the BDP site)

[the-bi-space-ace]

I’m not main tagging this bc I don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum but I’m really confused by the pacing of S3 and I’m just kind of… lost? Like everything is both a lot and also not at all? I already knew things were happening bc of the trailer so it’s not really surprising? And I’m also confused about how in 4 episodes it’ll all wrap up in a satisfying way?

I’m just sitting here like this:

[just-some-random-blogger]

hey same anon from yesterday!

first off, good luck with your assignments, Killin myself out here too.

And thanks for the advice! I’m trying to make it canonical while in a modern au, so since this was a mainly S1 part of the series, Clem’s parents + Lee’s wife nonsense still happens, just navigated differently. Different dates obviously happen, some characters are less prominent and others are more (i.e St. John’s useless, or Larry + Lee’s family roles/created)

For the personalities, some characters are just easier to write I think. I’ll never understand the Violet southerner thing, a telltale sight for me is if someone messes that up. (Also basically every story has Minerva as a total asshole so that’s funny)

I tried to implement game lines too, while putting it in modern context! And the end of the day you’re right, it is MY choice, just want to have it look nice. Again, thanks and good luck!

using lines ripped from the game can definitely be helpful, especially if it feels natural in the scene, i would just be careful in not leaning on it too much. adding a twist to it definitely helps. but really try to pay attention to the cadence with which characters speak. theres a rhythm to Everything. do they stutter when theyre nervous? do they use a lot of filler words? do they hesitate at all or do they speak confidently? do they enunciate? stuff like that. if you can figure that out it makes it easier to write dialogue that really feels like its coming from that character. think about the different ways multiple characters may express the same idea. how does it get filtered through their heads and mouths. its less about What the character is saying and more How theyre saying it. believability and all that. to me it feels like pulling off a magic trick

it really is just a delicate balance of behavior and vocabulary. its why i try to cut a lot of slack to writers when it comes to fic. i know its a hard line to walk, and i'll give points for getting Enough right. especially for characters we dont see much of. thats why even tho it annoys me a bit i understand why so many people write minnie as being a possessive asshole and not much else. its why i end up going down the rabbit hole trying to figure out who she was before the delta. like we Know she was a different person, we just dont know much about that person, and the experience/thought process that she had that turned her from the "didnt even like killing walkers" never mind the darkness minnie into the minnie that killed her sister. i find her to be a really interesting character because its obvious she still cares about the ericson group in some fucked up way (sans clem she just sees her as an obstacle to getting them back) and i Do wish that depth was examined more in fics. but maybe im just not reading the right ones

ANYWAY i hope this has all been helpful and good luck with your writing 💕

my roman empire is a comment on a reddit post i once read where someone was talking about how their alcoholic uncle explained his reasons for drinking as the world being too 'sharp' and needing something to 'soften the edges' and this commenter surmised that their uncle was most likely neurodivergent
