#tyrus is endgame

[felix-fathoms]

for reference tyrus is a canon gay ship in this little disney show i used to watch when i was a kid called andi mack … and they had SOOO much chemistry but people denied it bc they were both guys … but we Knew… we knew it was intentional and on purpose. and then the last episode they ended up being canon in the famous “bench scene” and it just reminds me sm of byler idk how to explain. hopefully theres someone out there who knows what im talking about

i have no idea if literally anyone will know what im talking about … but byler is sooooo tyrus coded and i don’t mean the relationship itself but the culture surrounding it and the show.. tyrus is like byler for babies. like when i was 13 i was all for tyrus and now im 18 watching st for the first time and its like the same experience

Do you have any writing tips when it comes to building tension?

You are so good at it! I see the happy ending tag, I know the happy ending is coming and yet I've never been so stressed out.

Hi anon! What a great but complicated question 😂

Tension is intrinsically tied to so many other aspects of a story. For instance, you have to spend time on character development--if your readers don't care about the character all this is happening to, why would it matter what they're facing?

Another big one is to develop a conflict that continues to raise the stakes--in Perfect Slaughter, Tyrus starts out with the conflict of Cazador forcing eternal slavery on him, right? But that's only the beginning. Tension rises as he develops a relationship, because then the antagonist can also threaten the one source of joy/love he has, which is arguably even more important. Giving your protagonist more to lose throughout a story really heightens the stakes!

I'll cover just a couple more: foreshadowing and pacing.

Foreshadowing is a huge tool, because how else would the reader know what to fear/anticipate? I like to create conflict even in my foreshadowing, too. In Perfect Slaughter, there's all kinds of story beats and scenes where having hope and doing good increases love/happiness (at a cost), and succumbing to corruption and evil helps you gain power (at a cost). These two different truths battle each other a lot and sit in conflict with each other, building up the tension as readers wait in anticipation for which truth the narrative will follow and which cost is worth it. Sidenote: when you have two threads of foreshadowing that seem irreconcilable, having a third, more subtle truth that trumps them both at the end really pays off the tension in an exciting way.

When it comes to pacing, you can add tension if you vary the fast action scenes and the slow, contemplative scenes, because readers can always be anticipating a change (when it's slow, it's about to ramp up; when it's fast, they can reward themselves with a cooldown if they keep reading). If it was high stakes all the time, that would get boring pretty quick.

And one more thing about endgame pacing--keep a "rule of three" when it comes to failures in building up tension for the final conflict, though I would personally say "at least three," haha. And if it's a long story, you can mitigate that by having overarching failures as well as failures in the climax itself. (spoiler warning for recent events below!!)

Some overarching failures in Perfect Slaughter include but are not limited to: 1) Tyrus forms an alliance with Ulma, but it goes nowhere, 2) When he tries to slow down the Ascension, Cazador quickly learns and intervenes, and 3) When he starts enacting his plan, the other people involved in it change things up!

Failures in the climax: 1) Lady Amanita, 2) Cazador coerces Tyrus into drinking the sick victim, 3+) **Pending** lol.

These should be broken up by successes, of course, like Tyrus learning how to control Chatterteeth, allying with Lady Incognita, marrying the Ascension rite and Perfect Slaughter rite together, etc. Basically crafting a "Will they, won't they?" of the highest order with your main conflict!

There's so much to story crafting, so others can feel free to add commentary/advice! But I hope this was helpful 💙

Do you think there’s a chance they Korrasami us/Tyrus us? (making us canon and endgame by a romantic handhold or something like that but not giving us a kiss or anything more concrete)

A) There’s always a chance, and I wouldn’t be happy. I’m afraid of this, but at least Byler is endgame!

B) There’s always a chance, and I wouldn’t be happy, and I’d rather there be no Byler at all

C) I don’t think that’s possible. The Duffers would never do this. There’s too much romantic momentum. This would be homophobic too.

D) That’s what I genuinely believe will happen!

do yall remember when someone paid a guy dressed like jesus to basically say that tyrus was endgame and that terri minsky was god? good times lol

Reblogging this one last time, nearly 5 years later. My final evaluation is:

Tyrus deserved a kiss

Sad Naveed didn't even get a bf :(

Still cant get over the fact that the society was cancelled (after s2 was announced)

Ngl, can barely remember what happens in elite after s3, but s2 was soooo good. Loved them in it.

They made Alex queer!!!! I wanted a ZachxAlex endgame but they kissed!!!!!!

Rip Skam Austin. At least we got Chris' series from SkamEspana.

So an hour left of pride month, and as I pray to our bisexual gods, Rosa Dias and Magnus Bane, i am simply asking for:

a tyrus kiss hand hold on the bench

Cory and Naveed to be endgame

Nasreen to be in a happy relationship

Ander and Omar to be happy in season 2 (ignore s3+)

Alex and Zach to be murdering a rapist together in some way

Shay Dixon to have a gf (and season)

Sam and Grizz to be endgame

Any wlw couple on the society (rip the society)

And genrally for your ships to be together/endgame

More positive representation in the media

And finally for y'all to be happy, healthy and safe.

This pride month has been great and i would say "see you next year", but guys, i dont have 2020 vision...

You know what I miss?? Lucaya and Tyrus. Like remember how much chemistry Lucaya had and then Disney just decided to go 'nah let's cancel this show.' So they come out with another show that was just as good and just as their gay couple comes out Disney goes 'nah let's cancel this as well.' So they come out HSMTMTS and DOAFP but one of them isnt actually on Disney channel and the other is good but I bet when season 3 happens they are gonna cancel it even though both GMW and AM signed 4 season contracts as well.
