#writing prompts

[caffeinewitchcraft]

It's a brainstorm day! A day I spend only writing prompts for myself to be used (or not used) at a later date. This day looks like this in my notebook:

A search and rescue ranger for hire that always somehow ends up saving people from supernatural phenomena she has NO experience with. She has regular run ins with people who DO know what the supernatural phenomena are, but they never find anyone alive. They try to recruit her and she has a hard time believing they’re for real.

A kingdom that chooses its ruler by who can make the most interesting story about an artefact from the treasury, assigning a history to it after their library of records burned 1000 years ago. However,  the main character is reincarnated from that time and keeps winning the challenges by ACTUALLY knowing what they’re for. Or the main character makes up stories according to the kingdom’s morals and wins that way? Interesting world, don’t know what character would be the most interesting in it.

A ghost who is just being a Chill Guy when he’s dragged into a mad scientist’s experiment which gives him a body – HIS body made corporeal – again. Does he feel good about this? Bad about this? Is his new quest to die or to live a better life than he lived before?

A girl who is turned into a werewolf during a college rager and she treats it like an STD. “I am confident I can live a good life, it will just look a little different than others’. This condition can be managed (uwu).” And the pack who is now obligated to take her in is like…look we don’t want to tell you how to live your life since one of our pack members did this to you non-consensually, but you DO need to fall into pack dynamics asap. And she’s like, “Sparkle, sparkle, NO”

A mermaid who is confused and alarmed when her friends all suddenly want to give up their tails to go on land. Turns out there is a Land Siren out there and it’s literally just a character from Bay Watch.

Can you do some for charters sacrificing themselves?

Sacrificing Prompts

Sacrificing themselves to give their friends a chance to make it out alive.

Sacrificing themselves to keep something a secret, that could destroy everything.

Sacrificing themselves and taking the enemy down with them.

Sacrificing themselves, not knowing that they have been betrayed by the ones they are trying to save.

Sacrificing themselves, shocking everyone, because they never showed this kind of bravery before.

Sacrificing themselves, only for their teammates to realize later that it was in vain.

Sacrificing themselves to save the lives of strangers

Sacrificing themselves, being the former villain, to save the hero, seeking redemption.

Sacrificing themselves, leaving a heartfelt last message to their loved ones.

Hmmm. I don’t write touch-starved characters often enough… let’s fix that, shall we? 👀

“say you won’t let go” - some touch starved scenarios

prompt list by @novelbear

heart pounding whenever the other does so much as to hold onto their wrist while guiding them through a crowd

one just casually sitting down on the other's lap and they start internally freaking the hell out

hesitantly tugging the other's fabric of their shirt or sleeve, testing the waters

^^ the other notices so they pull them into a hug, smiling as they just watch them melt

"wait, don't go, please.."

"is this okay?" "it's more than okay."

already barely holding it together as they're getting their hand held but then they feel that reassuring squeeze and they just can't

wearing the others' clothes so that it can at least feel like they're hugging them, even for just a moment

feeling so lonely that they have to call their lover/friend, just to get a sense and reminder that they're still there

^ trying and failing to hold back their tears as they do so

"can i have one more hug?" "aw, babe you don't have to ask, c'mere..."

when the other holds onto their waist briefly as they're passing by and it just send chills down their spine

breaking down mid-hug because they just needed this so much

their breath hitching whenever the other gets a little closer

^ feeling crushed when that action is taken as a sign of discomfort, and they watch them slowly back off

holding onto a stuffed animal/pillow, imagining that it's their lover in their embrace instead

one leaning their head onto the other's shoulder suddenly and they just freeze

"i wasn't sure how much longer i could have taken this..."

Text: The court is populated by ghosts, ghost prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges. Nothing to lose, no memories or allegiances, impossible to threaten. It’s my job to figure out how to bribe one.

[noobtiedoo]

Villain: Stop sneaking into my lair! Use the door like a normal person!

Hero: But it has a biometric lock...

Villain: I know, that's why I stole your files and put them in the system.

Hero: Aww, you basically gave me the key!

Villain: By stealing your info. Yes. You really should update your own security system.

I'm mad, but I definitely wouldn't be mad if it weren't true

It turns out that, rather than space orcs, humans are more like space cats. We believe ourselves to be the best species in the galaxy when we actually are taken care of by more advanced aliens while doing little more than be adorable and destroy local wildlife when left to our own devices.

Duckie Deer Prompt #40

Lucifer: Wait...you know how to drive a car??

Alastor: ...you don't??

-------

AKA a thought that I had about Alastor living in the 1930's and needing to either make a quick get away from a crime scene or potentially needing to hide his latest victim's cars. (He may also like to be a lil shit ™️ and mess with demon's cars down in Hell.)

Meanwhile, Lucifer has always been able to fly or teleport. Not to mention how he's almost exclusively been in his house for years, not wanting to interact with sinners.

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

Does it still count as whump if the whumpee and whumper (?) are the same person?

Like, remaining in a time loop where they keep getting injured but they choose to stay because of a goal they want to reach? Bonus points if whumpee is partly participating in a different whumper's torment because they have something they want to the point they're willing to hurt themselves to get it.

as long as there’s pain, it’s whump

“Shit. Shit, that’s a lot of blood.”

“You dumbass. Don’t do that. Ever again.”

"Help them! Please!"

"You scared us all back there. I... Including me."

"[name]? [name], this isn't funny. Stop... please..."

"Breathe... breathe. Look at the stars, kid."

"It was supposed to be me... please, no, [name], please..."

"Tell me where it hurts, and be specific."

“You’ll be fine.” *silence* “You’ll be fine. Hey! Wake up! Please. Please wake up…”

“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”
