fuck paying for entertainment!

[thealpacaavenger]

absolutely. Holy crap. I’m glad other people are noticing this, lmao. It’s one of the main topics I tackle with in my AU (shameless plug go brr)

Can we get some Scrooge mcDuck discourse. The man is the richest duck ever and useless I’m mistaken he dosent use his money to really help people. He just uses it to take him and his nephews on adventures to get more money. He has more money than anyone would know what to do with. With it he can help people in need. I get he has this philosophy of working hard and earning your money but still.

Hi dearest tumblr writers here is some tips you have no choice in using now.

Please stop over using: said, say, yell, whispered, in your stories. Its atrocious,

I know I phrased it that you were "over using" said. (I was making a joke) I'm not going to bully you for using it. I provided this list for those who *want* it.

Struggling with emotional scenes? Here are some tips for writing emotion!

=========

1. While you’re writing, try to build an explanation for their feelings. What triggered their emotion? Is their reaction rational or are they overreacting? Do they fight, flight, fawn or freeze when provoked? Do they feel threatened? 

=========

2. Show, don’t tell. Describe what is happening instead of plainly stating the situation. Try not to use words like sad, happy, devastated, in pain, angry, nervous, scared, or worried. They cut back on the emotional integrity of the scene and make it hard for readers to connect with your characters. Here are some different behaviors for different emotions.

-Eager-

Bouncing up and down

Unable to sit still

Breathing deeply

Fidgeting

Pretending to do something

Trying to stay busy

Constantly looking at the clock

-Nervous-

Red and hot face

Sweaty palms

Voice cracks

Shaky hands

Biting nails

Biting lips/inside of cheek

Wide eyes

Shallow breathing

Heart racing

-Excited-

Wide smile

Squeal/scream

Bouncing up and down

Fidgeting

Playing with hands

Tapping foot

Talking fast

Tapping pencil

Pacing back and forth

-Scared-

Curling up/bringing knees to head

Closing eyes

Covering ears

Stop breathing or breathing quickly

Biting nails

Shaking

Gritting teeth

Hugging/squeezing something tight

-Frustrated-

Stomping

Grunting/mumbling/yelling

Deep breaths

Red and hot face

Hitting/kicking something

Pointing

Straining/veins become more visible

-Sobbing-

Eyes filling up with tears

Eyes burn/turn red

Red cheeks

Face becomes puffy

Pursed lips

Holding head down

Hyperventilating

Fast blinking

Trying not to blink/holding back tears

-Happy-

Smiling wide

Laughing loudly

Cheeks hurting

Talking loudly

Higher pitched voice

Animated/expressive

-Upset-

Walking slowly/shuffling feet

Head down/avoiding eye contact

Biting inside of cheek

Dissociation

Keeping quiet

Fidgeting

-Bored-

Pacing back and forth

Sighing loudly

Complaining

Fidgeting

Blank face

Looking for something to do

Making up stories

Talking about random topics

=========

3. Try and bring some trauma into your character’s emotions. For example, something might happen that reminds them of a suppressed/traumatic memory. This is an easy way to hook your reader and have them really feel like your character is a real person with real emotions. They might have some internal conflict they need to work through and a certain situation reminds them of that. They might become irritable at the thought of their traumatic experience and they might snap at whoever is nearby. 

=========

4. Most characters won’t dump their entire backstory or feelings in a conversation. Try and reserve your character’s emotions to make more interesting scenes later on. For example, your character may be triggered and someone may ask them what’s wrong. Will they give in, soften up and share? Or will they cut themself off and say they’re fine? Also take into account that your character might not know the other character very well and won’t be comfortable sharing personal information with them, like details regarding their trauma.

=========

5. Last but not least, you don’t need to have a major event happen to connect emotionally with your audience. You don’t have to kill off a character every time you need to spice up your story, even simple interactions can just help your readers understand your character better. Show how they react to certain topics or situations. Describe their feelings, their surroundings, their body language. Their defense mechanisms will help the audience to better understand what kind of person they are.

=========

Shit-talking Scrooge

a little conversation between Adam and Louie from my fic “the sky rat”

it hasn’t been written in the fic, but I like drawing little character interactions like this

You can read the fic here

[thealpacaavenger]

Pigeon Ducktales OC buddies!

Ello- this is my first post on here so I hope you enjoy my Ducktales OC!

[thealpacaavenger]

This is the cutest thing I’ve seen all day

If requests are avaliable, could you maybe draw Poe De Spell (In his raven form) and Louie discussing Scrooge's Goodsides and Badsides?

I think they’d be pretty good friends :)

[thealpacaavenger]

update: I posted the FIC! Here’s the link:

My (unposted) Ducktales fanfic be upon ye!

This fic takes place 3-4 years after the show ends. Louie is 15 as is the OC (Adam Zephaire) I’ll post the fanfic eventually lol.

After seeing the phantom rider from Sonic IDW, I thought I would make my own suit!

I created an au for this, lol. All I know is that Eggman took over, Sonic lost his leg, and Tails made him a prosthetic and suit.

there’s inspo from sonic Boom (bandana), Sonic Adventure 2 (shoes), Sonic IDW (gems+suit in general), and Sonic Prime (Chaos Sonic).
