Thissss
I can write a lot but it's because I write a first, very trashy draft that is very bland and isn't very fancy or good sounding. This helps me just get whatever I'm thinking about onto the paper first, then I go over it when it's done and make it sound good! That way you have your scenes and everything that happens written down, and you don't have to worry about things like transitions and whatnot until you start editing it!
Throwback thursday to when I was like 12 and I was putting out new writing DAILY...... Like entire Chapters of my then-current wips just, over an afternoon. What the fuck was I on
if i had the money i assure you i would’ve made a life size biblically accurate sun plush by now
So my thing is I'm both a freak and a creature
“Emotional abuse works like this: You are screamed at, and then, not knowing any better, you stand up for yourself. You think this is a way of being strong. You think this is a defense tactic.But this only provokes more screaming. Going silent provokes more screaming too, but usually it keeps the threats to the minimum. It keeps it just at screaming and not: a shove down the stairs, or order to pack your stuff and get out. So you learn how to go silent. How to play dead. How to cry without making a noise. How to swallow noise. How to wipe your cheeks, get out of the car, and go about your day. You learn. And when the screaming has stopped, when the two of you are in the car or out to dinner and they’re all smiles, all asking for favors, all questions, you are still hurt and annoyed and want to ask them, how? How can you speak to me like that? How can you pretend you did not say those things? How can you have forgotten? But you’ve learned. So you listen to, “Can I borrow your key”s and “how was your day”s and you play dead. You swallow the noise. And sometimes it doesn’t matter who is speaking to you, it doesn’t matter if they’re a friend, it doesn’t matter if their criticism is constructive, it doesn’t matter. You’ve learned. Any sort of speaking, any raising of the voice, any insult and you play dead.”

Is it just me or there's a bunch of stuff getting randomly censored on here? First it was a post from someone I follow that was labeled "mature" when it was just saying they were gonna update a comic they were working on tomorrow (and they responded to this saying that it wasn't something they were aware of or could even see themselves??), and now a bunch of pfp's are pixelated and some people's blogs are being labeled mature despite them not being mature???? What is going on???
WRITE IT ANYWAY!!! EVEN IF YOU DONT THINK YOURE GOOD ENOUGH!!! WRITE!!! IT!!!! ANYWAY!!!!!!!

My previous 40 question ask game has been picking up notes again, and you know what? I love making up these questions so much that I made more. Because why not.
Have some uncommon questions to help with developing your original characters! Feel free to send in some asks with some numbers–pick an oc, or I’ll pick randomly~
How does your character sleep? Peacefully, fitfully? What position do they sleep in? What is their typical bedding like?
Does your oc have dreams or nightmares? What are they like? Is there a recurring one?
How easy to annoy is your oc? Do they have common pet-peeves or are they stoic in response to everything? What is their reaction if the source doesn’t stop?
How does your oc view housework? Do they absolutely hate it? Do they enjoy having their surroundings neat and tidy or do they not notice?
Your oc has to make something for an art exhibition. What would they make? How terrible is it? Would they enjoy making it?

How would you describe your oc’s voice? Do they have an accent? Do you have any voice claims for them?
Is your oc more likely to follow instructions exactly, throw them out and figure it out on their own, or make it all up? What are the results like?
Is your oc afraid of touch or do they actively seek it out? Is there a reason for this? What are the exceptions?
How is your oc about medical care? Do they avoid any form of healthcare that they can, do they seek it out over every little scrape? Do they treat their injuries/illness all by themselves?
How competitive is your oc? Is every little task something that they can win, or are they just in competitions for the fun of it? Is there anyone they’re most competitive with?
How skilled at lying is your oc? How frequently do they lie? For what reason? What situations would be the exception?
What is your oc’s immune system like? Are they invincible to illness, or are they compromised completely from the slightest of dirt?
Does your oc do anything “just for the aesthetic”? Or are they completely practical in everything?
If you had to choose a single object to act as a symbol for your oc, what would it be? Why?
If your oc could only eat one thing for the rest of their life (while miraculously not suffering from malnutrition), what would it be? Does this match their favourite food?
How prepared is your oc? Ready for the worst no matter what, or completely lost in every situation? Would they have a medkit when it was needed? Would they have an umbrella if it rains?
How charitable is your oc? Or are they more stingy with their resources and money?
If someone was describing your oc to someone who had never met them, what distinguishing features would they mention? How would one identify your oc in a crowd?
Does your oc have any pleasure that embarrasses them so they keep it secret? Or are they open about all the things they enjoy?
What is your oc’s stamina like? Would they be able to run a marathon, or not run at all? What about walking/another physical activity? How are they with exercise in general?

How flexible is your oc? Can they touch their toes or do they have trouble just sitting down because of how stiff they are?
What is your oc’s typical walking like? Do they speed-walk everywhere, do they take quick short steps or long paces? On their tiptoe, the sides or heels of their feet? How loud are their footsteps?
If your oc was in a video game, what would their idle animation be? (When the player stays still for too long, the animation that plays.)
What topics does your oc know the most about? Are these obvious or would these be surprising to others?
What time of day is your oc most awake? What about most tired? Do they get up at the same time every morning without need of an alarm, or is their sleep schedule all over the place?

What would someone blackmail your oc with? Would they be successful in getting what they wanted?
How easily does your oc get attached to things? Does everything have a sentimental value to them, or do they see nothing as more valuable than its practical use? What about with people/animals?
How stubborn is your oc? Are they easily convinced of the opposite opinion, do they not agree but let it happen anyways? Or do they cause conflicts with their inability to budge in their decisions?
How much has your oc traveled? Why is this? Would they like to travel more? Or are they perfectly fine with staying home?
What signs tell that your oc is nervous? Do they fidget, is it in their expression or the way they say things? Or are they very skilled at hiding it?
How superstitious your oc? Do they end up following them ‘just in case’? Or are superstitions incredibly important to your oc? What are some that they believe? What about the ones they don’t?
Are there any habits your oc has picked up from people around them? Do they know where they’re from? Does your oc try to stop themselves from doing it?
