Okay So I've Been Slowly Writing Down My Thoughts And Compiling A Basic Skeleton For The Twins In Time,

the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

An oh moment of sorts

they should invent a grief that doesn’t define you in new and strange ways for the rest of your life

I've already said that my number one piece of writing advice is to read.

But my number two piece of advice is this: be deliberate.

Honestly this would fix so many pieces of bad writing advice. Don't forbid people from doing something, tell them to be conscious and deliberate about it. This could help stop people from falling into common mistakes without limiting their creativity. Black and white imperatives may stop a few annoying beginner habits, but ultimately they will restrict artistic expression.

Instead of "don't use epithets": "Know the effect epithets have and be deliberate about using them." Because yes, beginners often misuse them, but they can be useful when a character's name isn't known or when you want to reduce them to a particular trait they have.

Instead of "don't use 'said'" or "just use 'said'": "Be deliberate about your use of dialogue tags." Because sometimes you'll want "said" which fades into the background nicely, but sometimes you will need a more descriptive alternative to convey what a character is doing.

Instead of "don't use passive voice": "Be deliberate about when you use passive voice." Because using it when it's not needed can detract from your writing, but sometimes it can be useful to change the emphasis of a sentence or to portray a particular state of mind.

Instead of blindly following or ignorantly neglecting the rules of writing, familiarize yourself with them and their consequences so you can choose when and if breaking them would serve what you're trying to get across.

Your writing is yours. Take control of it.

It probably sounds like I'm preaching to the choir here because most of my mutuals are already great writers. But I'm hoping this will make it to the right people.

I drew the meme. Although I changed the dialogue a bit to better match the situation and because the rest of Stan’s family was in the room.

Stone going on a undercover mission for gun and forgets to tell Robotnik causing the doctor to go on a rampage until stone returns (just wanted to share this idea to someone)

Coincidentally, that was the last mission Stone ever got from G.U.N.

This is the same guy that posted that group selfie titled „yes, these are both my hands“

I want to eat your Ford, and your Ford very specifically. He’s such a weirdo, a little freak. I need to emotionally consume him.

In all versions you write him. I need to just

Stan less so, for him I need to more slurp him down, like a smoothie.

I’m very happy that you like my flavor of Ford, I’ve made him into a lovely combination of every piece of Ford Writing I’ve ever liked, and now he won’t leave me alone.

everyone's favorite past time: putting that guy in situations

oooh ooh mullet stan
