Thinking about the Elizabeth reincarnation that died of old age and Meliodas's relationship makes me giggle.

Person: "Wow, is that your grandson?"

Meli: "I'm her man."

Person: 🤨 "Yeah, sure buddy."

-

Old lady: "...It's like he never age-"

Meliodas: *glare*

Person: 😟

Elizabeth: "No, he never gets agitated. He's so patient and kind ✨️😊✨️"

-

Person: "If there is robbing the cradle, you are grave robbing."

Meli: *gets intense flashbacks.*

Merlin: 😠 "not this again..."

*He didn't leave Elizabeth's side for a week after that joke.*

-

Elizabeth: "Can you light the fire place, darling?"

Meli: "You don't need fire to keep you warm when you have me 😏."

Elizabeth: "It's the middle of a snowstorm."

Meliodas: "I'll light it 😞."

*He still snuggled her the entire night and did not sleep a wink with the fireplace going.*

-

Elizabeth: "Meliodas... you look like you haven't slept in a week... stop evading the topic."

Meli: "How could I close my eyes? I'd miss seeing your beautiful face too much."

Elizabeth: *blushing furiously.*

Meli: 😏 *feeling accomplished that he evaded that conversation for another ten minutes.*

-

Elizabeth: "Merlin... please help he is fighting things that aren't there out in the cold..." *Elizabeth says with concern, watching Meliodas outside through the window swinging wildly at nothing.*

*Meliodas in his head hallucinating Grimace the Selflessness due to prolonged sleep deprivation, swinging wildly at the nonexistent purple blob with a stick.*

Merlin: *sips her tea* "If he doesn't knock himself out, I'll knock him out."

Poem by Natalie Wee

the first law of tragedies: the end is already written and inevitable. the second law of tragedies: your actions are all your own and you can choose to get off this ride whenever you want. the third law of tragedies: we both know that you are never going to do that.

I loveee fantasy settings doing magical exhaustion:

burnt out pyromancers emitting steam and smoke

tired cryomancers shivering with visible foggy breath

weary necromancers looking ill and hearing voices

frazzled healers receiving the same cuts, bruises, and injuries of their patients

Believe it or not this actually started off as me practicing backgrounds, only for me to increasingly grow in frustration cause it looked like shit. So of course, like any sane individual, i scrapped it, screamed into my pillow, and drew tristan over it to soothe my soul

Moral of the story is if at first you dont succeed, try, try again, and then give up and leave it up to future you because present you isnt dealing with that shit

some of the best writing advice I’ve ever received: always put the punch line at the end of the sentence.

it doesn’t have to be a “punch line” as in the end of a joke. It could be the part that punches you in the gut. The most exciting, juicy, shocking info goes at the end of the sentence. Two different examples that show the difference it makes:

doing it wrong:

She saw her brother’s dead body when she caught the smell of something rotting, thought it was coming from the fridge, and followed it into the kitchen.

doing it right:

Catching the smell of something rotten wafting from the kitchen—probably from the fridge, she thought—she followed the smell into the kitchen, and saw her brother’s dead body.

Periods are where you stop to process the sentence. Put the dead body at the start of the sentence and by the time you reach the end of the sentence, you’ve piled a whole kitchen and a weird fridge smell on top of it, and THEN you have to process the body, and it’s buried so much it barely has an impact. Put the dead body at the end, and it’s like an emotional exclamation point. Everything’s normal and then BAM, her brother’s dead.

This rule doesn’t just apply to sentences: structuring lists or paragraphs like this, by putting the important info at the end, increases their punch too. It’s why in tropes like Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking or Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick, the odd item out comes at the end of the list.

Subverting this rule can also be used to manipulate reader’s emotional reactions or tell them how shocking they SHOULD find a piece of information in the context of a story. For example, a more conventional sentence that follows this rule:

She opened the pantry door, looking for a jar of grape jelly, but the view of the shelves was blocked by a ghost.

Oh! There’s a ghost! That’s shocking! Probably the character in our sentence doesn’t even care about the jelly anymore because the spirit of a dead person has suddenly appeared inside her pantry, and that’s obviously a much higher priority. But, subvert the rule:

She opened the pantry door, found a ghost blocking her view of the shelves, and couldn’t see past it to where the grape jelly was supposed to be.

Because the ghost is in the middle of the sentence, it’s presented like it’s a mere shelf-blocking pest, and thus less important than the REAL goal of this sentence: the grape jelly. The ghost is diminished, and now you get the impression that the character is probably not too surprised by ghosts in her pantry. Maybe it lives there. Maybe she sees a dozen ghosts a day. In any case, it’s not a big deal. Even though both sentences convey the exact same information, they set up the reader to regard the presence of ghosts very differently in this story.
