how to write a plot twist:
surprise your readers!
surprise yourself because you have no idea what’s going to happen next either.
My tattoo artist told me his teenage son came out to him as trans by giving him a bunch of blue cupcakes and a greeting card that said "it's a boy!"
"That's cute," I said.
"It was NOT cute!" he snapped. "I thought he was pregnant."
reblog if you’re a writer who feels guilt whenever they’re not writing and being productive, so I know I’m not the only one lol
trans regulus and genderfluid sirius mean the world to me.
Regulus gets jealous. Yes.
And James?
Oh..
James gets possessive.
ao3 should have a new button for exquisite fanfic called 'i can't believe it's not canon!'
writing tip: when in doubt, throw in a dash, a semicolon, or a minor existential crisis.
Regulus laughs against his lips, low and mocking, nails scraping along James’s jaw. “Knew you’d come running the second I called.” James doesn’t answer, just fists a hand in Regulus’s shirt and pulls him closer, swallowing whatever cruel remark he was about to make. Because that’s what this is, isn’t it? They don’t talk. They take. They ruin. Because Regulus is a sickness James can’t shake, and James is the worst kind of addiction—one that feels good enough to make you ignore how much it’s destroying you.
the bitches traumatized by saltburn would never survive the fics in my ao3 history
