It's Not...

Stop repeating what clearly isn't working, it's not going to change anything now. You can yell all you like but is it really even worth doing? At first if you don't succeed try try again is what they say. Well I keep trying but what's bothering my existence isn't going away. Is this simply me now, is there really no escape? Can't I return to what once was or is to go mad slowly really my fate...?

I can’t even look at art

An artist I follow just posted about the situation not being complicated. They had not said anything about the Israelis killed and I assumed they just weren’t gonna talk about it but now they’re talking about Israelis being evil and the situation not being complicated

I’m so done. How will I ever return to even looking at art anymore? Western leftists have truly no idea how much Jews and especially Israelis trusts they’ve broken over the course of October. So many of us can never return

hi! any tips for turning an idea into a plot / story?

hiiii sorry this took me so long!! tumblr doesn't tell me when i get an ask anymore for some reason???? idk idk but!

✨✨✨morgan's guide to turning ideas into a story✨✨✨

these may not work for you BUT if you're having a hard time piecing together something then i would give these a shot!

the first thing i do when i have an idea i write it down. USUALLY my ideas for me come in a sentence. For Tell Me If There's A Way Home, the sentence was "cowgirl that has to keep burying a body that pops up along her journey"

for This Grave Calls You Home it was "in the light of a dying star, the last astronaut wakes up"

BRAINSTORMING:

so anyway i immediately write this down somewhere, usually the notes app on my phone and i STOP WHAT IM DOING IMMEDIATELY

for me, i have hundreds of these sentences written down somewhere, but the ones that stick with me always stay in the back of my throat.

if its one that gets me really hot and bothered, then the seed is planted and it needs some water babes....

im RUNNING to find media that i feel fits with the idea ... on that netflix or spotify or library app STAT looking for anything that will help that seed grow inside my head. i need the VIBES and the MUSIC and ATMOSPHERE.

once that's on lock...i'm plotting with my little grimy hands rubbing together...

...and i buy...another....notebook... and i KNOW this sounds ridiculous but hear me out...writing in notebook vs on a computer has genuinely saved my life with writer's block so many times. ideas and thoughts and fragments just flow when i allow myself to write in a notebook. idk what it is. but this is just me, if computers or typewriters or what have you works then STICK WITH IT

by the time i'm done scribbling ideas in my notebook and acting unhinged, i have a decent idea about the atmosphere and the themes i'm looking to write about

IF AN IDEA CAME TO YOU, IT MEANS SOMETHING IMPORTANT. DON'T DISREGARD THIS

you need to figure out what it is about the idea that means so much to you - and whatever that reason is, that's gonna be the fundamental core of your story.

PLOTTING:

i have to admit something. i dont plot my stories. i dont know how to plot. i like to discover the story right alongside everyone else. what's gonna happen next? idk babes you and me are gonna find out together.

BUT i do try to have a general idea of where the story STARTS and ENDS. everything else is trial and error. and if u dont have any idea where the story ends, just know it'll come to you eventually. u have thousands and thousands of words to write before the end, so don't sweat this; it'll happen. even if its really simple!

using Tell Me If There's A Way Home as an example:

Start: a woman doesn't know who she is, only knows that she's looking for something

End: She's Found The Thing

think of it like a question and answer. (also! NOT answering the question is totally valid story telling too)

if u are really struggling, the number one thing i suggest is READING. you can glean so much information from reading its actually crazy. study your favorite books or movies or video games. almost always in western media there is the exposition, conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, and denouement. (this is super formulaic, so don't feel tied down by this! just a guide line.)

SETTING:

i think everyone gets really tied up in knots about setting. and it shouldn't be like that! this should be YOUR fun!!

setting has very little to do with story/plot itself. it affects the ATMOSPHERE of the story you're telling instead. (except, like, if you're telling an alice in wonderland story or a story about climate change ofc, there's exceptions to everything)

look the locked tomb for example. take out the space aspect, this story at its heart would be the exact same if it were set underwater inside decomissioned underwater research facilities. its just cool as fuck to have a space nun living on pluto.

Take twin peaks and put it in space. the heart of the show works anywhere, but the atmosphere and the mood is enhanced because its in a small, strange town.

you can write a story about generational trauma and put it into the world of jurassic park.

anyway, i hope that you are hearing me say have fun with your setting. it absolutely is a part of the story you're telling, but it is not the heart of it (sometimes)

MISC TIPS:

remember that this is YOUR work. you do whatever you want. it's not up to anyone else.

be obsessed with your own world and your characters!! i literally went to a craft store and made a rosary today for one of my characters and it has actually helped me write a ton today.

you are not stuck in this story. i feel like a pitfall i face often is like "ah man but this writing doesnt make sense in this genre i cant write this" and its like YEAH I CAN. why cANT I . do whatever you want with your story im so serious. you have no idea how many books are releasing now and the common feedback is "man this feels like a book ive read a million times before" and with movies its a remake or based off a book like the entertainment industry DESPERATELY needs new original ideas SO SO BAD. dont be scared to write that book that you're worried is too weird or doesn't make sense trust me.

make playlists! watch movies! play video games! these are all things that count as writing believe it or not.

and remember you are loved !

Did Brian and Kate ever had like a big fight 

YES BUT probably in proxy mode. . .

cuz brian is a pretty chill, non aggressive guy who rather mediate. and kate is a super quiet, avoidant person who rather mind her business. the only time these two would argue is if brian is being too pushy about 'you need to get out of the mines and come work. or take a shower damn bitch...' and she's like CAN YOU FUCK OFF and he might go on about how she's making her life worse and by this point its her fault and she starts getting angry and it just gets heated . . . but not physical.

'hoodie' is completely nonverbal and not too outwardly aggressive, and 'the chaser' can only make noises and is INCREDIBLY hostile. like move too fast and she jumps at you and goes for ur face. she barely recognizes the other proxies as 'allies' so if she's paired with hoodie for any mission where they're both fully under O/S influence(rare), and he so much as shoves her out of the way, she's fighting. which is scary . so in proxy mode, fights would be entirely physical, not a single word exchanged.

can a girl ramble aboutthe way you can interpret so many parts of the propaganda and characterization of rhine by other the people/general populace of teyvat as people largely antagonizing neurodivergent traits without being chased with pitchforks and torches.

[selfship-confession-box]

haii!!! his is my first confession and... im a spam yapper sorry.

so my f/o is a bad person, i know this lol, the entire point of bros character is to BE an asshole and he never is redeemed or anything, but its recognized that he is still a person and deserved love and kindness

so this creates a problem. every single FUCKING fic i see is either

1. hes too mean

2. hes not mean enough

so it just ?? makes me mad like did weeeee read the same book. watch the same movie even

and its so frustrating because the author is so so incredible at character building and making characters feel real and you FUCKERS cant even see it 🙄🙄

PHEWWW okay yap over sorry
