They went on a walk together. Looking at each other nervously they held hands…it was the most romantic experience ever??? ❤️❤️
(This is why you never see me write couples in my stories ever. If they’re a couple by canon, then I give them as little attention as possible cause idfk what I’m doing)

Yeah. The phone calls reveal much more to Papyrus when you call him where you are with Sans and the telescope he said Sans like spacey stuff or something of the sort so yeah there’s also if you call him at the ruins door he said Sans does knock knock jokes there I think but yeah I learned this a while ago so yeah.
Oh cool! That’s pretty interesting information to know. Might start adding that to my stories…not sure which one yet. But would help in accuracy.
Yup. That’s true. He does use puns in his phone calls and from what I learned he make twice as many puns which is less then how many puns Sans had made which is surprising.
Oh yeah true, forgot about the phone call ones. Rip the fandom then for misinterpreting the subtle brotherly banter.
your creations inspire and bring joy, even if for now it is just to yourself, so please try your best to never stop creating, and to not be discouraged
Ah this one is a fun one! I tend to do a lot for inspiration. One of the things I do is I nostalgies over thing that has happened to me as a kid/teen and try to implement them into characters.
Example:
When I was a kid I used to eat jared pickles a lot and drink the juice. (True fact)
Knowing it’s a bit of a weird thing to do now. It seems like giving a character this trait will help them stand out.
Another thing I like to do is just daydream. I daydream a lot, most of the time I’m in a dream world (paracosm) working on something.
Listening to music is another thing. I usually do it to calm down from strong emotions. But I’ve noticed listening to sad music helps me with story ideas.
Another and more generic thing I do is people watch. Maybe their mannerisms or overall look, it helps kickstart character ideas and potential story ideas.
41 Emotions as Expressed through Body Language unique This list, while exhausting, is soooo not exhaustive; it barely scratches the surface. And each entry could easily become cliché (if it isn’t already). But, it should be enough to get you started. Want more? Start watching people (not in a creepy way), and take notes of what they seem to do when expressing different emotions. Your repertoire of expression will double in no time. PS—do not use these for actual, real-life body language reading; you will fail. These are strictly novelistic.

Today at my school we had an assembly about internet predators and when I had said that most of my true friends are over the internet and they gave me a lecture about how “I don’t know who I’m talking to” blah blah. So please, if you aren’t a predator in any way, please reblog so i can prove a point.
If you don’t reblog this, then I am honestly very concerned.
everytime i see this im gonna reblog it and weed out my pedo followers
^^^^
*cracks the earth in half from hitting the reblog button so hard*
I’m honestly worried about people who don’t follow this…!
WHENEVER YOU SEE THIS POST ON YOUR DASH, STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND WRITE ONE SENTENCE FOR YOUR CURRENT PROJECT.
Just one sentence. Stop blogging for one minute and write a single sentence. It could be dialogue, it could be a nice description of scenery, it could be a metaphor, I don’t care. The point is, do it. Then, when you finish, you can get back to blogging.
If this gets viral, you might just have your novel finished by next Tuesday.
Goddamn it, it’s back.
If it stays back, I might manage to finish a third story this year. Jesus.
I swear, this is now my only writing motivation.
BACK AGAIN??? Sigh.
Okay, sorry if anyone gets sick of this, but it’s the best way for me to get myself to write.
He did something no one could see coming..
I have the sudden uge to spread this!!! x,D
Do it! >:D
You all will never be able to guess what exactly he did.

that one post about the summer science camp and the kids covered in shaving cream eating the watermelon alien eggs in the middle of the night isnt even surprising. Like all the comments on it are like “wtf is this” but those people have never been to a summer camp. As someone who went to one from 8th to 12th grade, summer camps are surreal and just plain weird like
that one year where the entire group had an intense obsession with old bay seasoning. old bay got put on everything. pasta. sandwiches. chips. pudding. a guy snorted it
same kid also drank dirty taco dishwater on a dare
flies on leashes
one of the guys had 4 pairs of decorative boxers. he shared them with 3 other guys and they wore them over their shorts for at least 3 days. they wore them in public. theres a picture of them doing model poses in front of a waterfall wearing fluorescent decorative boxers over their shorts
a girl deadpan goes “i am the captain now” and then pushes our counselor out of the raft into the white water rapids. he was cool with it
the 2 guys that shared a canoe and tipped their boat 7 times in 30 min
everyone imitates a velociraptor when you cross that specific field on the hike. no one questions it
the indestructable piece of firewood that became a minor deity
hearing coughing and screaming in the tents at 12 am because someone decided to kill all the bugs on the ceiling of their tent with a 10 second long spray of 40% deet aerosol bug repellent
someone put a frog in a kids shower. he let it stay in there with him. he kept it for the next 5 hours. it sat by his bowl at dinner
pillow fight using entire couch cushions in a shabby 1800′s log cabin
on the last night at camp we go back to the main property where the hotel is. the hotel kitchen has a cookie jar. we wanted cookies. so logically, we dressed in all black, put black mesh kits over our heads, grabbed a bunch of pool noodles, and “snuck” up to the half mile to the hotel, dropping to the ground anytime a car passed vaguely in our direction. we send a kid into the kitchen through a side door. he is acting as a decoy to get the staff out of the kitchen. he says he is a guest and cannot find the bathrooms (especially not the one in his guest room). he is still wearing the mock ninja attire. the last 2 staff leave to show him where the bathroom is in his own room that he doesnt actually have. everyone else in our group goes into the kitchen to get the cookies. the cookie jar is empty. we end up taking a half eaten loaf of wonder bread instead. we run back away from the hotel waving pool noodles in the air holding a loaf of wonder bread. no one questioned any part of this entire event.
basically dont underestimate the surrealist hive mind of a small group of people cut of from all social conventions for a week
I don't know if this will help you at all, but I've found that the OST of a lovely little game called OFF often really helps me to get into the right mood when I'm writing: for instance, I use Pepper Steak for fast-paced scenes, Unreasonable Behavior for tense scenes, and Avatar Beat for emotionally-packed scenes. Just a suggestion, though.
Ah I’ve heard of that game! I’ve mainly seen a lot of fan art but never played it, the soundtrack sounds nice btw.
I usually listen to a lot of Sigur Rós, How To Train Your Dragon 2 soundtrack, Hamilton and a few Bo Burnham songs like nerds & art is dead.
I think that’s a very nice strategy though tbh. Helps hype up emotions and makes it easier to write for feelsy stuff. Depending on the story I might actually start crying from this strategy.😅
Maybe none of these peeked your interest-maybe you’ve been wanting to create an o.c, but never really knew how to start-or you just enjoy making O.C’s….
This masterlist is to help you in making your own OCs….it can also apply to developing RP characters i suppose!(´ヮ`)!
Hey, from one late 90's - early 2000's kid to another, do you remember Sean Kingston? He's the guy who sung Fire Burning and Beautiful Girls.
I don’t know who that is sorry. I’m guessing that’s probably an American man or thing? I’m French and grew up there, but have had some British influences. Unless it was something Uber popular that made its way over seas. “I GOT A FEELING THAT TONIGHTS GONNA BE A GOOD NIGHT” stuff like that 🤔
Figment, the recently closed writing website, has just launched (after a long delay) their long-awaited successor to figment known as Underlined, where users can post their work and receive feedback, supposedly.
DO NOT USE UNDERLINED. DO NOT POST YOUR WORK ON UNDERLINED.
Underlined’s terms and conditions contains a clause stating that the rights to all your work that you post on their website belongs to them!!!!
Underlined belongs to Penguin Random House. This is an extremely dirty trick for them to play on writers, especially young writers and children, who come to the internet to get feedback and will lose the rights to their work. Please boost!!!
For my writing friends looking for an online writing community, DO NOT USE Underlined.
I went to confirm @greater-than-the-sword‘s post, because seriously publishers are still pulling this garbage? And yes, they are. If you want to check out the full terms and conditions, have at it. They are full of writers’ nightmares, a few of which I’ll highlight under the cut.
Anxiety, Logan has told Virgil once, twice, a hundred times, as they sat back-to-back, is often fueled by epinephrine, commonly known as adrenaline. Your brain thinks that you are under threat, and your body responds accordingly, even if there is no physical danger present.
