don’t write them sobbing in chapter 12 and ✨totally fine✨ by chapter 13.
that’s not grief, that’s emotional whiplash.
grief is a slow burn. a background buzz.
it hits in quiet moments—like finding their handwriting or hoodie.
☕️ silence + routine = pain
newsflash: people grieve in weird ways.
some cry. some laugh. some make pancakes at 3AM and stare into the void.
some say “i’m fine” while making wildly self-destructive life choices.
(spoiler: they are NOT fine.)
🥞 + overthinking = grief
3. grief changes people
maybe they used to be kind. now they’re sharp.
maybe they were outgoing. now they ghost everyone.
grief isn’t just sadness. it’s a plot twist.
🌀 grief = character development in pain-flavored packaging
if you write “a single tear rolled down their cheek,”
i will personally haunt your drafts.
instead:
“they blinked too hard and the tears broke free like they’d been waiting all day for an exit.”
✍️ be poetic, not predictable
• setting the table for someone who’s not coming
• hearing their laugh in a stranger’s voice
• keeping their phone charged
• not deleting their playlist
it’s the quiet stuff that hits the hardest.
🫖 tiny detail = emotional chaos
write a scene where your character pretends they’re over it…
but their actions say otherwise.
(bonus points if the reader can tell but the other characters can’t.)
grief doesn’t end when the funeral does. Write it like a ghost that keeps showing up. Even when your character swears they’re fine.

crazy how fanfic authors drop the most beautiful and gorgeous pieces of work ever, leaving you speechless and sobbing at three in the morning as you quietly contemplate the masterpiece you just read
and they don’t get paid for it they just do it because they’re having fun and they want to share their joy with you
like I would literally die for all of you fanfic authors out there reblog to swear your allegiance to fanfic authors
Deku: Look, Uraraka, it’s funny how, when you fall in love with someone, you start becoming aware of these little quirks and habits they have, and just collecting and memorizing them
Uraraka: Like what?
Deku: Like… *gives detailed and full list of quirks and habits Todoroki has*
Uraraka: Uh, Deku…
Deku: Yes?
Uraraka: Did you hear what you said just now? Because I have news for you…
Deku: Yes, why? What do you me- *sudden realisation*
Deku: *blushes furiously*
Deku: Oh my gosh.
Deku: I’m in love with Todoroki
Uraraka: *nodding sagely* Yup.
